Posted May 19, 20196 yr How would you rank all entries of each year of the decade for any category, i.e. winners, runners up, UK entries, etc? WINNERS 2012: 🇸🇪 "EUPHORIA" Loreen 2014: 🇦🇹 "RISE LIKE A PHOENIX" Conchita Wurst 2013: 🇩🇰 "ONLY TEARDROPS" Emmelie de Forest 2010: 🇩🇪 "SATELLITE" Lena 2019: 🇳🇱 "ARCADE" Duncan Laurence 2016: 🇺🇦 "1944" Jamala 2017: 🇵🇹 "AMAR PELOS DOIS" Salvador Sobral 2015: 🇸🇪 "HEROES" Måns Zelmerlöw 2018: 🇮🇱 "TOY" Netta 2011: 🇦🇿 "RUNNING SCARED" Ell & Nikki RUNNERS UP 2016: 🇦🇺 "SOUND OF SILENCE" Dami Im 2014: 🇳🇱 "CALM AFTER THE STORM" The Common Linnets 2018: 🇨🇾 "FUEGO" Eleni Foureira 2010: 🇹🇷 "WE COULD BE THE SAME" maNga 2017: 🇧🇬 "BEAUTIFUL MESS" Kristian Kostov 2015: 🇷🇺 "A MILLION VOICES" Polarina Gagarina 2013: 🇦🇿 "HOLD ME" Farid Mammadov 2019: 🇮🇹 "SOLDI" Mahmood 2012: 🇷🇺 "PARTY FOR EVERYBODY" Buranovskiye Babushki 2011: 🇮🇹 "MADNESS OF LOVE" Raphael Gualazzi UK ENTRIES 🇬🇧 2014: "CHILDREN OF THE UNIVERSE" Molly Smitten-Downes 2011: "I CAN" Blue 2013: "BELIEVE IN ME" Bonnie Tyler 2015: "STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU" Electro Velvet 2017: "NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU" Lucie Jones 2012: "LOVE WILL SET YOU FREE" Engelbert Humperdinck 2016: "YOU'RE NOT ALONE" Joe & Jake 2018: "STORM" SuRie 2019: "BIGGER THAN US" Michael Rice 2010: "THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME" Josh Dubovie
May 19, 20196 yr WINNERS 2012: 🇸🇪 "EUPHORIA" Loreen 2013: 🇩🇰 "ONLY TEARDROPS" Emmelie de Forest 2018: 🇮🇱 "TOY" Netta 2015: 🇸🇪 "HEROES" Måns Zelmerlöw 2010: 🇩🇪 "SATELLITE" Lena 2016: 🇺🇦 "1944" Jamala 2014: 🇦🇹 "RISE LIKE A PHOENIX" Conchita Wurst 2019: 🇳🇱 "ARCADE" Duncan Laurence 2017: 🇵🇹 "AMAR PELOS DOIS" Salvador Sobral 2011: 🇦🇿 "RUNNING SCARED" Ell & Nikki I'm surprised Satellite isn't more well regarded - it's an incredibly instant and catchy song! Top three are all 11/10 and my favourites of their year. Running Scared is the only won that shouldn't have won but a fairly good set of winners overall! Probably jury votes that help remove anything particularly bad. RUNNERS UP 2016: 🇦🇺 "SOUND OF SILENCE" Dami Im 2015: 🇷🇺 "A MILLION VOICES" Polarina Gagarina 2018: 🇨🇾 "FUEGO" Eleni Foureira 2014: 🇳🇱 "CALM AFTER THE STORM" The Common Linnets 2010: 🇹🇷 "WE COULD BE THE SAME" maNga 2012: 🇷🇺 "PARTY FOR EVERYBODY" Buranovskiye Babushki 2013: 🇦🇿 "HOLD ME" Farid Mammadov 2019: 🇮🇹 "SOLDI" Mahmood 2017: 🇧🇬 "BEAUTIFUL MESS" Kristian Kostov 2011: 🇮🇹 "MADNESS OF LOVE" Raphael Gualazzi Just as strong as the winners tbh. Same again with 2010 I think maNga should be better remembered as that was also a quality song and performance! Italy didn't deserve to be top 10 let alone 2nd place. Top 4 all would've been very strong winners! Bulgaria's beautiful mess is really overrated imo, it's just a very average forgetable pop song that was performed well on the night! UK ENTRIES 🇬🇧 2011: "I CAN" Blue 2015: "STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU" Electro Velvet 2017: "NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU" Lucie Jones 2018: "STORM" SuRie 2014: "CHILDREN OF THE UNIVERSE" Molly Smitten-Downes 2019: "BIGGER THAN US" Michael Rice 2013: "BELIEVE IN ME" Bonnie Tyler 2016: "YOU'RE NOT ALONE" Joe & Jake 2012: "LOVE WILL SET YOU FREE" Engelbert Humperdinck 2010: "THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME" Josh Dubovie I have a big soft spot for Electro Velvet :P Forgot about Josh Dubovie completely, that really was an awful song! Never would have thought SuRie would've been so high but she was memorable in her year and sold the hell out of her song so she deserves some credit for UK despite the result! We've had our moments of sending decent entries but none of our songs are even close to being original or being remembered in Eurovision history. :(
May 20, 20196 yr Just saying my favourite 2010s winner are Satellite, Euphoria, Rise Like A Phoenix, and Arcade while for 2010s runner up are Party for Everybody, Calm After the Storm, Fuego, and Soldi. Thus unintentionlly showing 2012, 2014, and 2019 are my fave top 2 lmao. Not gonna rank the UK entries tho.
May 20, 20196 yr I reckon this year's Eurovision off-season will be heavily focused on this end-of-the-decade aspect (to confirm with my mod team x) but yes, let me do a quick rundown. WINNERS 2016: "1944" Jamala 2010: "SATELLITE" Lena 2012: "EUPHORIA" Loreen 2014: "RISE LIKE A PHOENIX" Conchita Wurst 2019: "ARCADE" Duncan Laurence 2013: "ONLY TEARDROPS" Emmelie de Forest 2018: "TOY" Netta 2011: "RUNNING SCARED" Ell & Nikki 2017: "AMAR PELOS DOIS" Salvador Sobral 2015: "HEROES" Måns Zelmerlöw Aside from 1944, and Satellite and Euphoria on good days, I'm not 100% behind most of the winners but I think all of them aside from Heroes are at least listenable, even if Amar Pelos Dois is something I'd never put on, and half of the rest are good. RUNNERS UP 2010: "WE COULD BE THE SAME" maNga 2014: "CALM AFTER THE STORM" The Common Linnets 2018: "FUEGO" Eleni Foureira 2015: "A MILLION VOICES" Polarina Gagarina 2019: "SOLDI" Mahmood 2016: "SOUND OF SILENCE" Dami Im 2011: "MADNESS OF LOVE" Raphael Gualazzi 2017: "BEAUTIFUL MESS" Kristian Kostov 2013: "HOLD ME" Farid Mammadov 2012: "PARTY FOR EVERYBODY" Buranovskiye Babushki Much better overall actually. I dislike none of these, even the grannies are fun as a song. We Could Be The Same is easily a big epic, and Calm After The Storm is undeniable quality imo. UK ENTRIES 2015: "STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU" Electro Velvet 2011: "I CAN" Blue 2018: "STORM" SuRie 2014: "CHILDREN OF THE UNIVERSE" Molly Smitten-Downes 2012: "LOVE WILL SET YOU FREE" Engelbert Humperdinck 2017: "NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU" Lucie Jones 2013: "BELIEVE IN ME" Bonnie Tyler 2016: "YOU'RE NOT ALONE" Joe & Jake 2010: "THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME" Josh Dubovie 2019: "BIGGER THAN US" Michael Rice no irony, Electro Velvet is miles ahead, partially because it's the single only one of those that shows a leaning away from straight singer pop with uninteresting production, which I'm deathly bored of. Supporting the UK in 2015 was fun, something I cannot say for any other Eurovision this decade, where it was a chore for most of the rest, and something I outright refused to do for Bigger Than Us, You're Not Alone and That Sounds Good To Me. I Can was however the sort of song that the British in "normal mode" should be sending more often. though I should add that Storm had probably the best STAGE performance of the ten, but I listen to most entries in studio form and Electro Velvet's intro gets me every time so that I rarely think about its... lower quality performance.
May 20, 20196 yr WINNERS 2012: 🇸🇪 "EUPHORIA" Loreen 2013: 🇩🇰 "ONLY TEARDROPS" Emmelie de Forest 2015: 🇸🇪 "HEROES" Måns Zelmerlöw 2019: 🇳🇱 "ARCADE" Duncan Laurence 2014: 🇦🇹 "RISE LIKE A PHOENIX" Conchita Wurst 2018: 🇮🇱 "TOY" Netta 2016: 🇺🇦 "1944" Jamala 2010: 🇩🇪 "SATELLITE" Lena 2011: 🇦🇿 "RUNNING SCARED" Ell & Nikki 2017: 🇵🇹 "AMAR PELOS DOIS" Salvador Sobral Love the top 8. Running Scared is ok. Salvador is the only one I really hate. RUNNERS UP 2016: 🇦🇺 "SOUND OF SILENCE" Dami Im 2018: 🇨🇾 "FUEGO" Eleni Foureira 2010: 🇹🇷 "WE COULD BE THE SAME" maNga 2017: 🇧🇬 "BEAUTIFUL MESS" Kristian Kostov 2019: 🇮🇹 "SOLDI" Mahmood 2014: 🇳🇱 "CALM AFTER THE STORM" The Common Linnets 2012: 🇷🇺 "PARTY FOR EVERYBODY" Buranovskiye Babushki 2015: 🇷🇺 "A MILLION VOICES" Polarina Gagarina 2013: 🇦🇿 "HOLD ME" Farid Mammadov 2011: 🇮🇹 "MADNESS OF LOVE" Raphael Gualazzi Same situation. Love the top 8. "Hold Me" is ok and "Madness of Love" is terrible. UK ENTRIES 🇬🇧 2014: "CHILDREN OF THE UNIVERSE" Molly Smitten-Downes 2017: "NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU" Lucie Jones 2016: "YOU'RE NOT ALONE" Joe & Jake 2018: "STORM" SuRie 2019: "BIGGER THAN US" Michael Rice 2011: "I CAN" Blue 2013: "BELIEVE IN ME" Bonnie Tyler 2015: "STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU" Electro Velvet 2010: "THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME" Josh Dubovie 2012: "LOVE WILL SET YOU FREE" Engelbert Humperdinck Molly deserved so much more than she got in 2014. Lucie was amazing. 3-7 are all good. 2015 is bad. 2010 is bad. 2012 is exceptionally bad.

Lucie deserved it based on her performance but the song could be better.

May 20, 20196 yr From a very casual fan WINNERS 2013: 🇩🇰 "ONLY TEARDROPS" Emmelie de Forest (BEST) 2016: 🇺🇦 "1944" Jamala 2012: 🇸🇪 "EUPHORIA" Loreen 2014: 🇦🇹 "RISE LIKE A PHOENIX" Conchita Wurst 2011: 🇦🇿 "RUNNING SCARED" Ell & Nikki 2010: 🇩🇪 "SATELLITE" Lena 2019: 🇳🇱 "ARCADE" Duncan Laurence 2015: 🇸🇪 "HEROES" Måns Zelmerlöw 2018: 🇮🇱 "TOY" Netta 2017: 🇵🇹 "AMAR PELOS DOIS" Salvador Sobral (WORST) Generally a really good bunch of songs, Only Teardrops is the only one I love but I'd happily listen to 1944 down to Toy and Salvador I recall being quite nice, it just hasn't stuck with me as well. RUNNERS UP 2012: 🇷🇺 "PARTY FOR EVERYBODY" Buranovskiye Babushki (BEST) 2018: 🇨🇾 "FUEGO" Eleni Foureira 2019: 🇮🇹 "SOLDI" Mahmood 2015: 🇷🇺 "A MILLION VOICES" Polarina Gagarina 2014: 🇳🇱 "CALM AFTER THE STORM" The Common Linnets 2016: 🇦🇺 "SOUND OF SILENCE" Dami Im (WORST) Don't recall: 2010: 🇹🇷 "WE COULD BE THE SAME" maNga 2011: 🇮🇹 "MADNESS OF LOVE" Raphael Gualazzi 2013: 🇦🇿 "HOLD ME" Farid Mammadov 2017: 🇧🇬 "BEAUTIFUL MESS" Kristian Kostov Well obvs the Russian Grannies slay B-) Generally we got the winners right, but all of these I recall being at least decent. UK ENTRIES 🇬🇧 2011: "I CAN" Blue (BEST) 2017: "NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU" Lucie Jones 2015: "STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU" Electro Velvet 2018: "STORM" SuRie 2014: "CHILDREN OF THE UNIVERSE" Molly Smitten-Downes 2012: "LOVE WILL SET YOU FREE" Engelbert Humperdinck 2016: "YOU'RE NOT ALONE" Joe & Jake 2013: "BELIEVE IN ME" Bonnie Tyler 2019: "BIGGER THAN US" Michael Rice 2010: "THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME" Josh Dubovie (WORST) I mean we've got two genuinely good songs/performances to be proud of, and as bizarre as Electro Velvet was, it was refreshing seeing them just throw something bizarre out there even if it didn't quite land. When over half of your entries are made up of has-beens with forgettable songs and randomers with forgettable songs, then it really isn't surprising looking at our record.
May 20, 20196 yr Winners: 1 1944 2 Rise Like A Phoenix 3 Amar Pelos Dois 4 Only Teardrops 5 Euphoria 6 Toy 7 Arcade 8 Satellite 9 Heroes 10 Running Scared There's a HUGE gap between the top 3 and everything else there, the top 3 were the best or among the best songs of their years (I have never actually got around to hearing most of the 2017 songs as I missed that final shamefully but I find it hard to imagine there's much there that I'd like more than 'Amar Pelos Dois'), 4-6 were also in my top half or so, 'Arcade' is on its own in just being ok, and the last 3 were among my least favourite songs of their years ('Running Scared' is the most baffling winner to date, easily the worst song that year and doesn't sound remotely like a winner). Runner-ups (only ranking the ones I actually remember, sorry maNga and Kristian): 1 Party For Everybody 2 Fuego 3 A Million Voices 4 Hold Me 5 Soldi 6 Sound Of Silence 7 Madness Of Love 8 Calm After The Storm Yeah this isn't as good as the list of winners, 'Party For Everybody' is fantastic and a Eurovision classic for me but I only really care at all for the next 2 or 3. UK entries: 1 Still In Love With You 2 I Can 3 You're Not Alone 4 Bigger Than Us 5 Never Give Up On You 6 Love Will Set You Free 7 Children Of The Universe 8 Storm 9 Believe In Me 10 That Sounds Good To Me I make no apologies for being team Electro Velvet. Other than that... yeah it's pretty obvious why 'I Can' is our only entry that did particularly well.

RUNNERS UP 2016: "SOUND OF SILENCE" Dami Im 2018: "FUEGO" Eleni Foureira 2015: "A MILLION VOICES" Polarina Gagarina 2014: "CALM AFTER THE STORM" The Common Linnets 2019: "SOLDI" Mahmood 2012: "PARTY FOR EVERYBODY" Buranovskiye Babushki 2017: "BEAUTIFUL MESS" Kristian Kostov 2013: "HOLD ME" Farid Mammadov 2010: "WE COULD BE THE SAME" maNga 2011: "MADNESS OF LOVE" Raphael Gualazzi The top 5 all slay, PFE is great in its own fun way and Beautiful Mess really grew on me post contest. I honestly can't remember how Hold Me even goes without reminding myself which is mental for a runner-up, but i don't like the other two. UK ENTRIES 2017: "NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU" Lucie Jones 2011: "I CAN" Blue 2014: "CHILDREN OF THE UNIVERSE" Molly Smitten-Downes 2013: "BELIEVE IN ME" Bonnie Tyler 2015: "STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU" Electro Velvet 2018: "STORM" SuRie 2012: "LOVE WILL SET YOU FREE" Engelbert Humperdinck 2016: "YOU'RE NOT ALONE" Joe & Jake 2019: "BIGGER THAN US" Michael Rice 2010: "THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO ME" Josh Dubovie God having this in a list format really makes it hit home how terrible this decade was for us :lol: NGUY is the only one I love, I Can and Children are great but i never really go back to them. BIM is fine, SILWY is so bad it's good and Storm-BTU are dull as. TSGTM is absolutely horrendous and potentially the worst Eurovision song I've ever heard.
