  1. 45 AZERBAIJAN 2010 Safura - Drip Drop 6.933% 49,210 / 709,804 Someone on YouTube trying very hard to find something to be impressed by: I know this dress was very heavy. Despite this, it was amazing how she got up and ran while kneeling in the dress, singing, and keeping her voice under control while doing so.
  2. 46 ISRAEL 2018 Netta - Toy 6.932% 166,894 / 2,407,522 12 Points from KFC!
  3. 47 THE NETHERLANDS 2014 The Common Linnets - Calm After The Storm 6.921% 69,779 / 1,008,214 It's always great to see a song coming from nowhere during rehearsals. And in 2014 there were 2 of them - more on that later.
  4. It's entertaining 😂
  5. 48 ARMENIA 2016 Iveta Mukuchyan - LoveWave 6.789% 114,329 / 1,684,030 Over the top YouTube comment: I am not exaggerating when I say that this level of vocal prowess genuinely has NEVER been topped in the entire history of the contest.
  6. 49 ALBANIA 2025 Shkodra Elektronike - Zjerm 6.778% 331,973 / 4,897,694 An unlikely winner at Festivali i Këngës against Elvana Gjata, closing the Eurovision Grand Final gave Shkodra Elektronike a great advantage in the televote, in which it came 5th.
  7. 50 UKRAINE 2024 alyona alyona & Jerry Heil - Teresa & Maria 6.690% 325,617 / 4,867,012 Despite drawing the “death‑slot” Ukraine still managed one of their best ever finishes with a score that would have won in 2025.
  8. Rush Rush was a very weak come back single. It's fine but it hardly has any impact at first listen. Chrous is indeed wonderful.
  9. I wanted a one-syllable, inelegant word that sounded like a derogatory term - so Spod was born. Then when I found out that there were no currently active empires in the contest I adapted it into the Spodic Empire.
  10. And also the televote of over 30 countries - if you're implying that Italy and Ukraine only send "awful" songs.
  11. There's only 26 countries in this list. 12 appear more than once and it seems we have a new powerhouse to be added to the traditional three of Italy, Sweden and Ukraine.
  12. The Eurovision Community Scoreboard is often a source of fascination and bewilderment come Springtime. A case in point - who the hell was voting for Kyle Alessandro's Lighter this year? Anyway, there's been 639 songs entered into the contest since 2010 and here we find out which 50 that the notoriously rabid Eurovision fans have flocked to in droves. Each entry was scored based on how many points it had on the app (as of 09/11/2025) as a percentage of the total points for the whole year. By way of example Moldova 2010 scored 32,847 out of 709,804 [total points for the whole year] so gets a mark of 4.628% putting it at number 100 in this list. There are shocks a plenty. Perch thyself, dear friends and prepare for girly bop flash flood.
  13. Delighted for Deandria
  14. Not a fan of Gypsy Woman. I don't like her tone of voice at all.
  15. Agreed. It's amazing.
  16. I totally agree. Every time a country returns it weakens the position of the countries threatening to boycott over Israel.
  17. I will definitely contribute to this.
  18. I didn't like If You Tolerate This for a long time. I thought they'd messed up their chance of a number 1. The album was ok.
  19. Drowned World is an incredible piece of artistry. William Orbit's trademark restraint is evident throughout, with one of Madonna's best lyrics. One of the best choices for opening tracks I've witnessed
  20. Clear winner at this point but your vote counts. Voting closes at midnight.
  21. If anyone wants to offer their opinion, that would also be interesting.
  22. Colm posted a post in a topic in BuzzJack Song Contest
    Spolidifestivalen is currently active with three synth-y things for your consideration. Voting closes when an entry receives 10 votes.
  23. Thanks Herbs. Everyone's opinion is welcome.
  24. The vocals are very Nordic. Like Röyksopp.
