Here are my rankings, that took ages. Some are a bit in accurate but, it's ok
1. Israel - Boaz Mauda - The Fire In Your Eyes – I think this was underrated, I love the language, there is a bit that is a bit too “pop-ish” but mainly, I just love everything about this song. Although, I agree about the shirt, it’s bad
2. Latvia - Pirates Of The Sea - Wolves Of The Sea – This is ridiculously catchy, and although kind of like a slutty version of the Wiggles or something, I really enjoyed it
Although, it does depend on my mood, it gives me a headache sometimes, but it’s great to sing and dance with, very uplifting. 12th is much higher than I’d have guessed, but good.
3. Georgia - Diana Gurtskaya - Peace Will Come – I don’t know why I like this so much, but I really got into it on the night/s, her voice didn’t seem very strong, but perhaps.. I don’t know. The costume change was clever too. 11th place is slightly underrated.
4. Greece - Kalomoira - Secret Combination – This song is so catchy, and Kalomoira has stage presence. Not the best live vocals, and very slutty, but I liked the costume even so
The main reason this is #4 is, catchiness, and I like her smile,
5. Ukraine - Ani Lorak - Shady Lady – Of course Ukraine and Greece get ranked together for me! Both catchy, both good performances. Ani’s was much better than Kalomoira’s, and she put much more into it, and also looked like a hooker (I don’t think Ani is pretty like most people think), but yes, great song, deserved place
(what’s with Ukraine’s 2nd places lately! Tha, but yes, great song, deserved place
(what’s with Ukraine’s 2nd places lately! That’s 3 in 2 years!)
6. Bosnia & Herzegovina - Laka – Pokusaj – It’s a bit boring to listen to on mp3, but live it’s brilliant and creative.
7. Armenia - Sirusho - Qele Qele – Again catchy, though not so much as Ani/Kalomoira. She was a bit lacking in (well vocals), but also.. energy.. kind of, hard to explain. Look at how Ani sweats/pants after her song.
8. Iceland - Euroband - This Is My Life – Obviously not original but so catchy, and so energetically performed. This one gave me a headache at first, but now I love it, at times. The lady could have changed her look I’d say, too much “chubby hooker” going on.
9. Sweden - Charlotte Perrelli – Hero – Will I get yelled at for this then?
Haha, well, this was my first ESC ever, and I like this better than her 1999 one, it’s catchy, she looked like an alien though. Not the best, but, it’s 9th, for some reason. XD
10. Bulgaria - Deep Zone & Balthazar Bulgaria – Mainly the start makes me love it, so catchy, I have a weakness for catchy techno stuff. I can’t remember the song at all, I don’t think it was thattttt good
Great performance though, this was ROBBED!
11. Azerbaijan - Elnur & Samir - Day After Day – Everyone hates it but I liked it! It was creative, and the start was cool. It was very, “Jesus christ superstar” like. A bit tacky looking the costumes though. At least they actually got the entry in, unlike their jesc >:C
12. Turkey - Mor Ve Otesi – Deli – Kind of the same as Azerbaijan, a really good performance, and it wasn’t in English! I enjoyed this, though it took time to grow on me. The guy is very scary looking.
13. Netherlands - Hind - Your Heart Belongs To Me – unlucky 13 for sure! How could some crap like Poland qualify when this doesn’t! Good song, catchy, not so much as my upper rankings, but still!
14. Czech Republic - Tereza Kerndlova - Have Some Fun – I can’t remember it live (I had surgery to remove a tumour about 5 days before the ESC, so my memory is hazy, and the semis got deleted from the recorder, so I just have final, hence my top 10 being mainly finalists, I’ve watched esc 5 times now
) so you guys say it was bad, but I like the studio? Well, it’s a catchy song!! Underrated. Like, a bit cheap/nothing song, but whatever.
15. UK - Andy Abraham – Even If – Brilliant final performance! Full of energy, grossly underrated. This is so not my style, but I liked it!
16. Finland - Terasbetoni - Missa Miehet Ratsastaa – Something about this appeals, more than Lordi.. no idea what it is, but I enjoyed these guys. (their hair on the other hand, not my thing
)
17. Ireland - Dustin The Turkey - Irelande Douze Pointe – I get sick of it, but it’s clever and catchy-ish.
18. Croatia - Kraljevi Ulice & 75 Cents – Romanca – I considered ranking this higher, but it gets kind of boring after a while. I loved the old-fashioned-ness of it, and it reminded me of France… definitely a worthy entry and qualifier. No idea how it got through though (in 4th!)
19. Albania - Olta Boka - Zemren E Lame Peng – I hated it at first, and it wasn’t exactly energetic, but I find it strangely appealing now. And her name, love it, don’t care what it means in certain other languages
Her stage colours I loved also, like Andy Abraham’s.
20. Serbia - Jelena Tomašević – Oro – It’s a.. nice song.. different..I don’t know, I liked it, despite it’s utter and complete lack of catchiness.
21. Cyprus - Evdokia Kadi - Femme Fatale – I just watched it on youtube to remind myself, this should be higher in my rankings, I really liked this! 15th in semi 2 my ass!
22. Belgium - Ishtar - O Julissi – Cool stage and dress, but, I have gone off this, but, it’s not so bad, quite cool.
23. San Marino - Miodio – Complice – I did hatehatehate this, but now I like it! I just… totally forgot about it during ESC (so to me, = hate, well, I got bad impression from the reprise I saw before ESC), but it seems so good now. Maybe just not my rhythm.
24. Denmark - Simon Mathew - All Night Long – Well performed, kind of good looking guy haha, just, it kept me awake, all night long….. (literally)…TOO catchy? In a bad way
25. Russia - Dima Bilan – Believe – He feels himself on stage. He has some random-ass ice skater. He is uppppppp himself. However, it is not such a bad song, I had it higher before he won (as you do
).. vocally though, pssh.
26. Belarus - Ruslan Alenho - Hasta La Vista – It’s kind of… ew.. but kind of, catchy?
27. Estonia - Kreisiraado - Leto Svet – It’s more that the others are bad, than this is good… I have things against slow songs, so this gets up there.
28. Slovenia - Rebeka Dremelj - Vrag Naj Vzame – don’t remember this… oh I see.. not that bad… bit messy.. I REMEMBER… HOT dress colours!
29. Malta - Morena – Vodka – It’s like.. Carravaggio was cool. Anyway, everything was good about this, except, the song itself, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzz.
30. Switzerland - Paolo Meneguzzi - Era Stupendo – boring but, gosh, the bottom ones suck.
31. Moldova - Geta Burlacu - A Century Of Love – This is kind of pretty, I like it more than portugal. Teddy bear? I don’t like her voice muc
32. Norway - Maria Haukaas Storeng - Hold On Be Strong – She looked ugly/cheap but I guess the songs ok, way too highly ranked.
33. Andorra - Gisela - Casanova – Nice hair hehehehe
This just doesn’t do catchy for me. FAIL! Just, what is this, what is the point, besides the outfit!
34. Hungary - Csezy - Candlelight – Weak voice? Way too, nice dinner at a fancy restaurant song for me. Could do well in a Disney movie, seriously.
35. France - Sébastien Tellier – Divine – I hated this kind of, but, it can grow on me.
36. Spain - Rodolfo Chikilicuatre - Baila el Chiki-chiki – at least it’s catchy? Horrible however.
37. Romania - Nico & Vlad - Pe-o Margine De Lume – well I mean, five times and I can almost never sit through this song, it makes me boreddddddddddd, but it was well performed…
38. Macedonia - Tamara, Vrcak & Adrijan - Let Me Love You – Can’t remember this AT ALL, and can’t waste more bandwidth checking
I think I might be underrating it here though.
39. Lithuania - Jeronimas Milius - Nomads In The Night - Same as Macedonia. I remember it was bad though.
40. Portugal - Vania Fernandes - Senhora Do Mar (Negras Aguas) – So low due to it’s massive popularity which I don’t comprehend at all. The women looks more annoying than Rosie O Donnel, she isn’t that great a singer, the song obviously SUCKS….
41. Montenegro - Stefan Filipovic - Zauvijek Volim Te - Can’t get into this, though my friend loves it.
42. Poland - Isis Gee - For Life – 1800 hooker anyone? YUCK
43. Germany - No Angels – Disappear – The song is no where near this bad, however, vocally, yuck, presentation, yuck. A horror.
