Best jury-eliminated entry [2008–2013]

[A-lister]

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.

Well, I first and foremost judge the songs (although I agree that Sofi's performance was lame and didn't fit the song, although it was vocally good), but in terms of songs it deserved the final more than some others for sure.

Well I seriously think 2010 “Työlki Ellää” (Finland) is the best of the above list, it's a diabolical shame that failed to reach the 2010 final. If I had to give a second place choice, I'd say 2013 “Mižerja” (Croatia); that should have been in this year's Grand Final as it was a really well sung soothing ballad (or as I see it, an adult kids' version of the CBeebies Goodnight Song).

If you asked me to choose the worst of the above list, I'd go for 2013 “Igranka” (Montenegro). Thank heavens that failed to reach the 2013 final, as I've said already, it would have been a disgrace to the 2013 final had it qualified. At least the juries had the sense to weed that out at the semi-final stage; it didn't even belong in the semi-final really. As far as I'm concerned, I'm appalled and disgusted that Montenegro chose that mish-mash of rap and dubstep to represent their country.

Each to their own, I'm on the other disgusted when dated cheese like Georgia and Russia gets jury support and not something that is actually from this part of the century...

The choice is difficult, as so many good songs have been left out (though on the contrary, many good songs have scored better because of juries as well).

Igranka was one of the top three songs of 2013, but Eastern European Funk as a song is just brilliant. The issue is that Eastern European Funk had a terrible stage performance, whereas Igranka's worked, even if it certainly was far from perfect.
I haven't voted yet, as the decision... well, you can only pick one.:?

I voted for 2012. My second favorite behind Cyprus back in Baku and I was very, very disappointed when it didn´t reach the final.
But there are many good songs in the list above.

 

[AdelAdel]

Montenegro 2013, without a shadow of a doubt.
As for the others, Lithuania 2010 and both Macedonian entries are next on my list.

Not sure whether you understood the question correctly.

:shock: I thought you hated 2013 with passion?

"Best jury-eliminated entry" - doesn't it mean which entry I think that the jury did the best job in eliminating?

 

[94ayd]

I like most of these, but my top picks are:

1st - 2013
2nd - 2012
3rd - 2010
4th - 2012
5th - 2012
6th - 2010

I've taken into account both performances and songs, otherwise songs like 2011, 2011, 2011 & 2013 woulda been also up there.

Of course not. It is about the song you like the most.

 

[AdelAdel]

Of course not. It is about the song you like the most.

The topic title was ambiguous, then xsnooty

In that case, it's Netherlands 2012 for me.

Agree one could read it either way but I'm sure you are the only that did. Question might'f been more precisely: 'Best entry that got eliminated by the jury?'

 

[AdelAdel]

Question might'f been more precisely: 'Best entry that got eliminated by the jury?'

It's still ambiguous :?

It should've been: "Most unfair jury-eliminated entry" or "Which entry didn't deserve to be eliminated by the jury".

^ But the poll is supposed to reflect our personal tastes and not to judge the jury's verdicts which are based on different criteria.

 

[alca]

Tough decision between 2012 and 2010. I voted for

 

[Romeo]

I LOVE BELARUS

 

[greece]

Työlki Ellää, I love Belarus,Love Unlimited, Igranka and You and Me was all great.
But is my winner for 2011 so I will vote for them

 

[Salmon]

I really, really cannot decide between Cipela, Työlki Ellää, Eastern European Funk, Live It Up, Unbreakable, Igranka and You And Me (the Swiss one). The eliminations of these songs are among the biggest Eurovision injustices of all time.

But then again, I love to see 2010 in that list :twisted:

 

[pyryniemi]

Switzerland 2012 other injustices here are:

Finland 2010
Armenia 2011
Belarus 2011
Netherlands 2012
Montenegro 2013
Switzerland 2013
Serbia 2009
Macedonia 2009
