Best entries that weren't to be

[katapult]

Well, if our Krista doesnt do well, I guess every Finn will be asking: "why on earth didnt we send Mikael there..."

^
She's a very good performer and I think, she might actually do well.

(But that Saari-song was just breathtaking...but ok, the Finns prefered to keep the perfect ballad for themselves. Of course I respect that. Maybe it would have been wasted at the competition anyway? Well, we won't ever know.)

[arne1990]

I only really cared for Mikael Saari (Finland) and Sirkus Eliassen (Norway).
Both were amazing songs that deserved to be performed for a European audience.

These (+ State of Drama of Sweden) are also my favorite songs that didn't make it.

Estonia Grete Paia - Päästke Noored Hinged
EESTI LAUL 2013: Grete Paia - "Päästke noored hinged" - YouTube


Tragic how the snoozefest won over this amazing song. Estonia probably thought they were going to do another Kuula....well I doubt that very much.

This is the only really sad one for me, although there's a bunch of songs I would have preferred over what did qualify.

If there's any reason not to follow other countries national finals, it's this. You end up putting together what could have been and it makes the reality look dire in comparison.
