Not every Maltese person is Chiara.

 

But Chiara IS every Maltese person.

Didnn't Terry Wogan when introducing Malta on one of the last contests he commentated for, say though that person had represented Malta a lot of times before.

I wouldn't put much stock in anything Terry Wogan said.

Chiara only represented them three years anyway, I found out there now.

 

Yes Wogan was quite the master of sarcasm.

Every Maltese entry I remember has just been a rather dull ballad, a lot of them, maybe not all of them sung by the same singer. Maybe it is unfair to pick on Malta as they have a small pool of talent because of their small population.

 

Denmark's entries have been rather dull too, and so have Iceland's. The only French entry I have ever liked that I remember was the one about the moustache.

Check your facts before saying silly stuff. Malta's latest ballads were in 2009 and 2010. Before 2009 that it was indeed in 2005 with Chiara who finished second.

I was only basing it on what Terry Wogan said, you are right, I should have checked :blink:

For France you need to check out Divine by Sebastien Tellier from 2008:

 

 

Denmark annoy me in that they take MOR to the extreme and seem completely reluctant to ever break the mould, but I've liked or loved a couple of their recent entries - New Tomorrow and Only Teardrops spring to mind. They have been incredibly crap recently though, the MOR they're picking is just bad.

Portugal have to be one of the worst in Eurovision

Completely forgot about Denmark. Those three tone-deaf estate agents they sent last year were hideous. Actually, they are hideous nearly every year.

Well guys each country has good and bad performances. Plus small countries can`t compete with larger. And one more thing, countries have different opinion about this contest. I think UK and France don`t get it seriously as others.

Lithuania without doubt - not a single entry I'd get out of bed for. Hopefully that comes to an end this year. I do like 00s Switzerland a fair amount but they've really phoned it in since Il pleut de l'or.

 

Finland and Denmark are also low-key quite bad most years, but tend to have a lot of quality in depth in their national selections so they don't normally immediately come to mind.

Terry Wogan hasn't done the commentary for TEN YEARS!

Poland I've not really enjoyed since 2008, I don't think anyone else beats that.

Ukraine and everybody knows it.

because it sends ladies and the majority of them aren't blonde. and some are even black. or fake ladies. and guys.

Portugal. Competing since 1964. Not a single top 5. Not even trying to. End of discussion.

I liked for example Filipa Sousa - Vida Minha in 2012 if I`m not wrong.

I'd actually forgotten Portugal - yep, aside from a brief little window between 2007 and 2009 (and odd flecks of wonder over the decades like Quero ser tua, Bem bom and Deixa-me sonhar), persistently dreadful.

I quite liked 'Há um mar que nos separa'! It was endearing. I guess it says something that their best result in the 21st century is 13th though.

It would be between Ukraine and Italy. I have not enjoyed Italy at all since they returned, very over rated songs from them and likewise with Ukraine.
