September 10, 200816 yr Author true, except France have no chance of ever making the top ten anymore in the ESC, and Herzebania have made the top ten twice Neither do Switzerland really :( Oh also I think Sangria is the Malta of this competition. They've never won but have had a couple of very near misses, and always send songs, which sometimes go completely unrewarded!
September 10, 200816 yr And bless you Rich for finding Untouched! :wub: it's odd how random things like that can spark off a load of other effects...if I hadn't bought MusicWeek that week, I wouldn't have got the CD, I wouldn't have heard that song and I wouldn't have suggested moving the contest forward by a month, hence 'The Green Room' and all of the amazng stuff that happened in BJSC6 may not have ever surfaced and we might not even have had the contest anymore due to like you say, severely declining interest... and then I wouldn't have ever heard Will You Remember Me Tomorrow :lol: :kink:
September 10, 200816 yr Author Latvia won on their third time and haven't actually that good a record really. :o They flopped in 2001, 2003, 2004 and 2006. Oh fair enough. When they won it seemed like they were awesome because they'd come top 3 in two of their first 3 contests.
September 10, 200816 yr Neither do Switzerland really :( Oh also I think Sangria is the Malta of this competition. They've never won but have had a couple of very near misses, and always send songs, which sometimes go completely unrewarded! Cool Vibes came top ten, should have been top 3 as the first half of the voting suggested it would be -_- Vampires Are Alive and Era Stupendo clearly deserved to qualify but a combination of diaspora/block voting combined with weak stage performances for the two songs in question soon stopped that happening :cry:

Because Switzerland have won twice alot of people forget that they really aren't that successful at Eurovision!
September 10, 200816 yr Oh fair enough. When they won it seemed like they were awesome because they'd come top 3 in two of their first 3 contests. Latvia have a tendency of sending very random songs...The War Is Not Over, I Hear Your Heart, Questa Notte, Too Much and Pirates Of The Sea were all :blink: I do like Latvia's songs usually and I respect them for trying something completely different every year ^_^ Greece send brilliant songs but I have no respect for them because they all sound the same :heehee:

The comparison being, "gooddelta likes the songs, but nobody else does :P"
September 10, 200816 yr Maybe I'm sort of Latvia then. The comparison being, "gooddelta likes the songs, but nobody else does :P" :heehee: it's true, I've liked all of your entries to date, I think they are highly underrated except Helena Paprizou...Teardrops isn't my favourite of her songs, although I still found it in my heart to give it 1 Point in the final :lol: I've got my fingers crossed that Gigi makes the final ^_^

That means that possibly 2 people have loved it enough to give it big points, or everybody has liked it enough to put it in their top ten. Or something in between. That's satisfaction enough for me :)

September 10, 200816 yr But they've only exsisted for two years :P, when they were with Serbia they got a second. When was the last time Belgium qualified?
September 10, 200816 yr It was 2004 :P And they got through cos they were top 10 in 03. Well I qualified once, so I guess I can be Belgium :P Although they came 2nd in 03, but that doesn't count :D Edited September 10, 200816 yr by nickthenoodle
September 10, 200816 yr I think Dalisska is the Portugal of the competition. I think I nearly always send songs that are good but not amazing so they miss out on support and end up being placed 13th-18th in a final.
September 10, 200816 yr Bokia is Norway, when you have a good song it's amazing and goes top 5 but you're not a stranger to missing out on the final either :(
