Since some couldn't handle me adding Sweden to the ranking hehe, I'll do this one without Sweden this time around not to risk being falsely labeled as "biased"

If we were say, in 2008, and someone came to complain about my having my country first I, well... should God have mercy of his soul xjason
This is not one of those games, just a simple, honest, personal extensive ranking. The nerve.

Well, we don't have the same favourites, that is for sure. But I think there are a couple of common characteristics after all. We both have Netherlands on the bottom half and we share four songs (Cyprus, Iceland, Croatia, Ukraine) in the highest category. I wonder who is the most lonesome of us though, according to our first choices. Are you the only one with Moldova on top? However I've only seen Croatia (my fav) on top of PeterLPZ's list too. :)

Yeah, sure we agree on some ;) Netherlands being an obvious difference between us and the majority it seems. As I wrote in my review I like where they're coming from with the Dutch entry more than the actual product xshrug

I think I'm the only one with Moldova in the very top though...

Hey B!tches xwave
So this is my ranking of all 39 entries. All in all, I think it's a weak year with too many insignificant songs.
I must say that my order of preference is kinda random in some places, because I simply don't have an opinion on some of the songs.

01 :no:
This ended up as my favourite. Everything about it is classy, sexy and fierce. It sounds like a movie soundtrack. The melody lacks something though.

02 :lv:
I love PeR. They're like Jedward but with musicality and content. I wish more acts like this would go to Eurovision. The song is total feel-good. The chorus is catchy, but a bit cheap as well.

03 :ua:
This sounds like it's taken from a Disney movie. It's cheesy, but the amazing melody makes up for it. I actually think it has the best melody in this edition. The revamp destroyed some parts though.

04 :es:
Beautiful and sweet song. Makes me feel good. Another one of the strongest melodies. I like the celtic sound.

05 :ie:
A strong dance anthem sung by a male artist which sets it apart.

06 :me:
This song makes me want to bootypop and that's always a good sign :lol: It deserves respect for being the only 100% contemporary song this year.

07 :hu:
It's static but still interesting. The production and the language sounds delicious.

08 :fi:
Feel-good pop. It does what it's supposed to. Stupid but tongue-in-cheek and catchy.

09 :bg:
Dancy folkmusic is always nice. The dubstep seems silly. Very catchy chorus.

10 :sl:
I like that she wrote it herself. The dubstep sounds interestring in this, but also a bit confusing. The melody is fairly catchy.

11 :rs:
Trashy, slutty and funny. A bit like Feminnem in 2005. Reminds me of good times.

12 :de:
Guilty pleasure. Cascada makes discount-music, but it's enjoyable nevertheless.

13 :be:
The revamp worked wonders. It has a nice melody, but it's nothing special.

14 :ee:
It seems a bit too conservative for me, but it's cute and pleasant.

15 :it:
Eros Ramazzotti comes to mind. Nice melody in some parts. Too typical.

16 :uk:
Feel-good ballad. She looks so cute. Nothing spectacular like I would expect from UK, but enjoyable.

17 :se:
Interesting melody but uninteresting singer.

18 :is:
He's so damn smarmy it's disturbing. I like the folky touch of the song, but the melody is silly.

19 :al:
Powerful music but I'm just not too fond of this kind of "old-man's-rock".

20 :az:
He's HAWT but the song is pathetic. The chorus is stolen from thousands of other songs, but somehow it still works.

21 :md:
A pretty but very generic melody.

22 :lt:
This song beat my potential 1st placer of ESC 2013, so maybe I hate it more than it deserves. There is something very beatiful in the melody and the lyrics and the fact that he looks like an autist, but it seems pretentious. A brit-pop wannabe song.

23 :nl:
This just doesn't speak to me.

24 :ge:
Ridiculously fake and manufactured. G:son just knows how to write a catchy melody, which I hope won't fool people.

25 :cy:
Sweet song but too sweet.

26 :fr:
I can't really get into this song. Nice try but I don't think it's my thing.

27 :mt:
Annoying but fairly sweet. Tries to give a "feel-good-siger/songwriter"-vibe, but it's too much.

28 :il:
Emotionally raping and annoying.

29 :ru:
When you look up the word "cheesy" this is what you should find. It's quite simply disgusting.

30 :sm:
Silly.

31 :dk:
Bad song. Especially in the chorus. Pseudo-indie/folk.

32 :mk:
I like Esma's singing but this song is just a mess.

33 :gr:
Annoying. Embarrassing chorus, even if it's meant as tongue-in-cheek. I only like the instrumentation.

34 :hr:
Nice harmonies I guess, but not my thing.

35 :am:
Seems very american. Not my thing. He has a great voice though.

36 :at:
Filler. It almost provokes me how generic this is. A complete nonentity.

37 :by:
Absolutely stupid! They should've picked Satsura and kept his song. It was also stupid but strangely addicting and funny.

38 :ro:
Unbearable. The fact that this won with 1 point over Electric Fence rocks my world. Why Romania!!???

39 :ch:
Another embarrassing song. This has to take my last place because of the idiotic melody.

@knubelznarm

Although we of course don't feel exactly the same towards many of the entries, everything you wrote was very much to the point and made sense.
There's nothing not to agree here, a piercing, insightful, thoroughly enjoyable read! xgood

(You know, I have no idea why I placed Latvia so low, as I remember rooting very desperately for it when it was a question of them or big samantha whatshername and I was enormously relieved when it finally won. I actually even like it I guess, lol.)

Thanks a lot! xrunhug I'm glad you enjoyed reading, cuz I spent hours making that list :lol: I even accidentally erased all of it mid-way xgaah wow I was mad T()

About Latvia... well, I expected lots of people to hate it, especially among fans, cuz most wanted Samanta Tina to win :lol: A miracle must have happened that night! I was so sure she was going to win. "Here We Go" is a pretty mediocre song, but the band gives it so much energy, and with the generally poor level this year they are easily in my top 5.

In what way San Marino's entry is silly? :?

It's only my opinion :lol: and it's hard to explain...
"Crisalide" is the kind of bombastic disco ballad stuff that only exists in this contest today. This genre has always been ridiculous imo, and the "twist" in the song leaves me shaking my head. Then there's the characters of Ralph Siegel and Valentina making it seem even more like a circus. I just can't take it seriously. It's a silly mess in my eyes, but apparently not in many others' which is all right.

So you can't take seriously Crisalide but Here we go is a good song enough to be ranked second xshock
As you said It's only your opinion, we all have different kind of taste...luckily :lol:

Songs i listen to all the time and that will stay in my playlist forever:

1. Emelie De Forest “Only Teardrops”
2. Zlata Ognevich “Gravity”
3. Elitsa & Stoyan “Samo Shampioni”
4. Who See & Nina Zizic “Igranka”
5. Margaret Bergen “I Feed You My Love”
6. Koza Mostra feat. Agaphonos “Alcohol Is Free”
7. Anouk “Birds”
8. Adrian Lulgjuraj & Bledar Sejko “Identitet”
9. Klapa S Mora “Mizerja”
10. Amandine Bourgeois “L’Enfer At Moi”
11. Robin Stjernberg “You”
12. Eyphor Ingi Gunnlaugsson “Eg A Lif”
13. Valentina Monetta “Crisalide”

20. Moran Mazor “Rak Bishvilo”
21. Birgit “Et Uus Saaks Alguse”
22. El Sueno De Morfeo “Contigo Hasta El Final”

Songs i could listen to as a background for some activity without even noticing what is playing but with no disgust as well, however i'd never download them by my own free will:

23. Takasa “You And Me”
24. Gor Sujyan & Dorians “Lonely Planet”
25. Dina Garipova “What If”
26. Per “Here We Go”

31. Ryan Dolan “Only Love Survives”
32. Despina Olympiou “An Me Thimase”
33. Roberto Bellarossa “Love Kills”
34. Hannah Mancini “Straight Into Love”

Songs i will turn off immidiately if i hear them on the radio, songs i will never listen to even if those artists pay me!:

35. Krista Siegfrieds “Marry Me”
36. Sophie Gelovani & Nodi Tatishvili “Waterfall”
37. Farid Mammadov “Hold Me”
38. Moje 3 “Lubav Je Svuda”

For me Crisalide has got such a 1950s vibe to it, and not in a nice sort of way, that makes it very silly indeed. Tiny waists and round skirts come incongruously to mind. I enjoy the dramatic ending though, even if it is a bit worn. I wouldn' rank Here We Go second, of course not, but it surely is not as bad as people rank it.

I'm sure it has a lot to do with age and background. Naturally some specific things will appeal silly or interesting to me since I'm batshit crazy and just 18 xjason Btw it's not like I LOVE all the songs in my top 10. There's just an exceptionally low level this year, but something has to be in top, you know :)
