[CC92]

Which is the best of the now 17 songs that the minor 'plebs' wanted to qualify to the Grand Final but foundered on the verdict of the musical 'elite'?

Vote in the poll!

I like many but Työlki ellää is my favourite. Still the best song from 2010 for me.

You should be able to vote for more than one.

Close between 2010 and 2013, but I chose "Työlki ellää".
Most of those songs actually aren't that great, and didn't deserve to qualify, or qualify 8th-10th.

Of course Haba Haba. When I watched first semi final of Eurovision Song Contest 2011, Haba Haba was my sure favourite

2013!

"Igranka", no doubt !
BTW "I don't wanna leave" was 12th in SF2 2009, also jury could push it into the final. After Igranka, it's best jury-eliminated entry to me.

I voted for 2010. BTW, 2013 is a very difficult year to comment on. While Switzerland and Montenegro are rather clear bombs with the juries. Croatia may or may not have qualified on televotes alone (we will never know) so I don't know if this should be included on that list.

I thought about that too and even had in mind put a note. However, in the end they were in the Top-10 with the counting system they were using for the public vote that year so the most logical thing to me is to include them.

Seeing the list of these entries makes me sad and a proof that juries are just destroying ESC, some of these entries deserved final far more than some wailing or dated cheese the juries put in the final instead

2010, 2010, 2012, 2012, 2013, 2013 and 2013 all deserved to be in final!

I suppose the only ones that can be considered are the 10th places that would have qualified with televote. Otherwise we'd have to put every single song from the semi-finals of 2008 and 2009, since the same you argued for Poland can be argued for any of the others.

I'd just take 2013, and maybe 2012 out of that list.
I liked 2012, but the performance was a bit too boring.It's just strange a song in that style being presented with only one singer.

Exactly. Although he probably meant only those that scored higher than the 'jury' qualifier of their semi. But as Poland placed 12th, phone voters obviously did not want it to qualify so it can't be included here.

It's simple. Entries that would of qualified without any form of 'jury' involvement.

Ok, sorry if Poland 2009 couldn't be counted as jury-eliminated entry.

 

[Impressive]

Sorry if this offends someone but, Gosh, 2013 is just...

Sofi Marinova was one of my favourites (2nd fave behind Pastora) in 2012! should have replaced even though Tooji was incredibly attractive to me his song was horrible
