Posted April 15, 200718 yr Cyprus finishing 22nd in 1999 with just two points (from the United Kingdom): FZyYc9VXpKE It was tipped by many to win would you believe! :o It is a really good song though. :wub: Cyndi - nuff said. :cry: QeeIgt9H1CU Chiara being so disappointed in 1998. :( Makes me feel nervous even watching it now! :o 5X08gPNNIt8 Switzerland and Celine Dion beating the United Kingdom by a point. :arrr: Talk about the disappointment in Terry's voice. :( I'd just die if that ever happened again! QNu-yXv6J5U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNu-yXv6J5U Gina G flopping in 1996. :( yOqtDtUEpVM Paul Oscar flopping for Iceland in 1997. :o JVZux35Wnk4 Kate Ryan not qualifying for the final in 2006: iUFh6Khi8zc Ira Losco being beaten by Latvia on the final vote in 2002: wc34RvsKiuw
April 15, 200718 yr :lol: you've looked in to this quite well :lol: i wonder if celine had'nt of won, if she would be famous now?
April 15, 200718 yr Author Yeah I'm supposed to be doing homework but can't be arsed at all! :lol: So I had a think and a look round on YouTube instead. :D I think Celine would've still been very famous, but her fame wouldn't have been so instant had she finished second.
April 15, 200718 yr Author Gina G was hardly a flop, she came 8th! :lol: Agreed with most there :cry: She was expected to stroll away with victory though! So getting less than half of the points of the winner is pretty floppish by her standards. :(
April 15, 200718 yr The two biggest injustices are mentioned there David...Ira Losco should not have lost out to Marie 'striptease' N :-( Gina's song was by far the best Eurovision song of the 1990's but perhaps the slightly limp performance in the first verse put the juries off the song a bit
April 15, 200718 yr Actually, a big injustice would be Selma coming 2nd in 1999 when her scandi-pop song was 100 times better than Charlotte Nilsson's song :-( 2003 was one big injustice... Turkey, Belgium and Russia produced my 3 worst songs of that year to finish in the top 3 while Birgitta, Nicola and Lynn whose songs were infinitely better came nowhere near :-(

April 15, 200718 yr I loved Turkey in 2003. :wub: I also quite like Sanomi now listening back. :D Selma was incredibly unlucky to lose out to that Nilsson song, that wasn't and isn't good. -_- Selma is just such a great summery pop song and Charlotte's is just one big cliche, like something A*Teens would have rejected for a b-side
April 15, 200718 yr Author Selma is just such a great summery pop song and Charlotte's is just one big cliche, like something A*Teens would have rejected for a b-side Or like something Scooch might've done. :o Maybe Scooch will emulate her success. :( :lol:
April 15, 200718 yr Or like something Scooch might've done. :o Maybe Scooch will emulate her success. :( :lol: Only in my wildest dreams :lol: Not exactly a fan fave are they :lol: Still that didn't stop The Olsen Brothers, Tanel & Dave & Marie N
April 15, 200718 yr Author It didn't. :o You can never tell exactly what is going to happen on the night until it arrives, never mind how many polls, odds and other things you look at.
April 15, 200718 yr Exaclty...I never thought Lordi would actually win and now I look back and think how could I not have seen that coming...
April 16, 200718 yr Is there any biggest injustice than Portugal never having a top 5 placing since 1964?
April 16, 200718 yr That is very unfair N-S, lol I'll agree with you there, they should have gone top 5 in 2003 for a start but Europe was on another planet in that year...
April 16, 200718 yr Portugal had great songs in the 60's and 70's. Were they sung in French or English, they were shots for the topping positions.
April 16, 200718 yr Author I've not heard any Portugese songs from the 60s, 70s or 80s, but the more recent ones have been very poor imo. 2003's entry was ok, and this year's isn't bad but I don't think many others have been particularly good. :( The one that finished sixth in the 1990s was good though!
