July 25, 200915 yr I have a very rough quality recording of the 2002 show on video...I watched it at a friends house and asked my mum to tape it, but she must have used a broken video or something because it's barely watchable :(
July 25, 200915 yr Author I haven't even watched a single show until 2002 AFAIK. The first moment i remember is me & my sister blaming Europe for 3rd place and 3 points from winning :kink:
July 25, 200915 yr that was 2003 :P did you blame anyone specific in Europe? you should have blamed the UK! Nul points for tATu despite the fact that at that point, All The Things She Said was the biggest song of the year and Not Gonna Get Us was in the top ten :heehee:
July 25, 200915 yr Author Yeah I meant until 2003. :P I started blaming UK only few months ago as i had been doing some research for the Eurovision site (my Uni task) and i noticed how impressive they were at the time of the Eurovision -_- Actually, Wikipedia says that people actually blamed the Kingdom (and Ireland) for this third place. LOL
July 25, 200915 yr it surprised me actually that we gave Russia nothing in 2003, in fact, the song was even the b-side to Not Gonna Get Us here in the UK! Having said that, I really dislike Ne'ver ne Bojsia (sp?) and thought that their performance was vocally terrible (almost as bad as Jemini!) and didn't deserve any points from us :heehee:

Having said that, I really dislike Ne'ver ne Bojsia (sp?) and thought that their performance was vocally terrible (almost as bad as Jemini!) and didn't deserve any points from us :heehee: I'm with you on the point that Ne Ver' Ne Bojsia (Не Верь Не Бойся) was vocally DISASTROUS. LOL But I was too patriotic that time so really wanted us to win :heehee: Jemini... what a great comparison by the way :kink:
July 25, 200915 yr the pair just sounded completely out of breath, especially in that bit where they ran to meet each other in the middle of the raised stage :lol: the only time I've fully backed Russia for the win is in 2007 :heart: in 2000 you had one of the two best songs too though :wub: Jemini were just singing along to a different tune in 2003 :heehee:

They kicked off fantastically... unfortunately, you have now to be more than a lesbian duo with decent voices to manage through the unbreakable barrier to massive world attention :( I still watch that performance from time to time in order to keep remembering what the awful singing is :lol:
July 25, 200915 yr Uh Huh Her will never rule the world then :( they should have launched in 2001 and beat tATu to it :kink: I remember when I first heard All The Things She Said on the internet, I thought 'this will be a top ten hit' and then I saw the video and thought 'this is a guaranteed No.1' :lol:
July 27, 200915 yr Fortieth • Hanna Pakarinen - Leave Me Alone hUxgL2LjXPE Finland 2007 17th • 53 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The song is fantastic really, the performance is even greater than the studio version. The crowd that year was clearly the best. The early performing number was a disadvantage as well. One of the 2007-defining songs. One of the best this decade :wub:
July 28, 200915 yr Author Thirty-Eighth • Lior Narkis - Milim La'Ahava 1xCEqVtHEQw Israel 2003 19th • 17 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The 3rd Israeli entry top this chart so far. There're also 3 to come. It seems I also have this fetish in my countless list. :( --------------=============---------------- Here're some of the additional stats: Country Number of entries Israel 6 Ukraine 5 Serbia (+...&Montenegro) 4 Turkey 4 Greece 3 The rest of the countries all has 1 or 2 entries in the chart. It's quite widespread i should say. From UK and Austria to Latvia and Croatia :o
July 28, 200915 yr Author Thirty-Seventh • Urban Trad - Sanomi RRQlsvWMWBo Belgium 2003 2nd • 165 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This costed us our first win :angry: LOL Joking of course. Incredible song! National motives through the song click me a LOT. Thius was no exception. Even though i like it it could've done better finishing 3rd. :heehee: Talking of that Tatu are yet to come :magic:
July 28, 200915 yr Author Thirty-Sixth • Inga & Anush - Jan Jan L3mzzWCmPiU Armenia 2009 10th • 92 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The first 2009 entry to the list! And again it finished one point and place above the Russian entry. But i didn't really f***ing care a single SECOND how 'Mamo' does in ESC. Because it was a pile of $h!t. This song however is the mix of great lyrics, performance (amazing show!), costumes and vocals (although one sister was singing more poorly than the other but still...) which obviously couldn't help but click on me...
August 3, 200915 yr Author Thirty-Fifth • Marija Šerifović - Molitva 0Sp9OOoxCJo Serbia 2007 1st • 268 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= A gorgeous beatiful ballad, can't get all the hate it gets from time to time. Brilliant vocals, great performance, nice knowhow for Eurovision in general.
August 3, 200915 yr Author Thirty-Forth • Sirusho - Qélé, Qélé IpXBekq2qC4 Armenia 2008 4th • 199 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Finished criminally low for such amazing song (at least comparing with Dima Bilan( :manson: )). Perfect Eurovision anthem. Pure sex.
August 3, 200915 yr Author Thirty-Third • Javine - Touch My Fire 5pQ9ULBtkio United Kingdom 2005 22nd • 18 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= One of the most amazing years in Eurovision. The fact this song finished 3rd to last pissed me off to be honest. I found the song insanely catchy and it was my summer 2005 anthem, couldn't stop listening to it, was even my favourite just after the show.
August 3, 200915 yr Author Thirty-Second • Dana International - Diva Fv83u7-mNWQ Israel 1998 1st • 172 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= How could I not include this song in my countdown?!! One of the most significant winners and probably the second best song of the whole last decade of 20th century. Transsexual or not gorgeous performance/song!
August 3, 200915 yr Author Thirty-First • Nelly Ciobanu - Hora Din Moldova 4GF22HWRF_w Moldova 2009 14th • 69 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Woo. I know when it finished and how many points it scored by heart LOL Talk about Eurovision freeeeaaaaks ;( As for the song, it grew on me during the 'preparation', absolutely gorgeous song, Nelly is amazing live... and her daughter thing was SO CUTE <3
