Marry Me and Undo are brilliant tracks of course.

 

Is it your favourite Sanna track or you prefer Empty Room / anything from her MelFest entries on Swedish language ?

What a great end to this countdown, Silvia Night is an absolute classic for me, I love everything about "Congratulations" :wub:

 

2013 is a toss up between "Marry Me" and "Glorious" for me. The latter was definitely my favourite at the time of the contest, but I'd more often go back to Krista these days.

 

I'd be up for seeing the Melfest equivalent of this countdown, I could make some nice discoveries from it as it's only really since 2012 that I've followed all the heats.

Thanks for very nice comment. I love Krista, she is a beautiful and lovely person, singer and mom. Sadly her Melfest entries weren't so good as "Marry Me", "Seventeen" and UMK20 (I even charted it)

 

 

Did you hear her cover version of Diva together with ... Lordi ?

 

 

Yes, Melfest equivalent of this countdown will coming soon. Like in ESC version, there are many DNQ entries which will get their fifteen minutes of fame (at least in my ranking).

I did chart Beautiful Song at the time.

 

Many years ago I watched old personal charts from Eurovision 2012 period. Sadly I forgot the name of forum person, who suprisingly had Beautiful Song very high in his/her chart.

(possibly in top 5).

Quite a few people charted it though - Herbs, Ghosty, Jahq, Johnkm, me and more.

Thanks for a link, also I know one Swedish guy, who posted on UKMix forum in past. Anmary was peaked at # 2 in his weekly chart, behind Slovenian entry.

 

"Beautiful Song" fanclub :yahoo:

 

Belarus

 

This country didn't select anything good for Eurovision, but I don't want to skip Belarus in this thread. Wonderful Janet Buterus (half Belarusian, half Lithuanian) is a local equivalent of Sanna Nielsen, but without happy-end (Eurovision participation).

 

Her song from 2020 year "Flying Free" was written by famous Swedish sisters Ylva and Linda Persson and became a highlight (if we talk about a quality of song, because juries

didn't move Janet into the final) from all her unsucessful attempts. "Rhapsody Of Eurovision" (2018) was funny, could be iconic entry.

 

I lost a chance to have third 10/10 Eurovision entry (after "All Kinds Of Everything" and "Beautiful Song"). Only 20 songs from all history of pop music got 10/10 in my rankings, so catch a moment. There is also one other song with the highest rate, which related to Eurovision national pre-selections, which will take a crown in my future Melodifestivalen ranking.

 

 

 

Belgium

1. Iris - Would You ? (2012) - 8

 

Best result in my Eurovision ranking : Winner (1998) *

Best result in last 25 years : 3rd place (2012)

 

* - Lucky 6/10 song won a battle against Greece and Croatia, Micha Marah "Hey Nana" (8/10) is my favourite Belgian entry (2nd place in 1979).

 

In 2008 year Belgium didn't appreciate fantastic "Decadance" by Femme Fatale (from me 9/10 rate and # 1 in weekly chart), another lost iconic Eurovision song. Just watch her performance in national pre-selection (sadly the quality of video is poor, we deserved HD version) :

Katrina Leskanich liked her performance, but other jury members didn't share this love.
