I thought they were pretty good as well, certainly deserved a better place. But I guess the rest of Europe doesn't understand them.

By year


2001 , although was great too, those two countries should have fight for victory not for the 3rd place.


2002 I think ,, were good too.

2003 The best song won for me even if i love Belgium & Iceland

2004 but Ukraine was a good winner

2005 or

2006 has a great winner but Sweden, Romania, Ukraine, Bosnia & Russia all could have won without it being a major upset. When i think of it now i realized 2006 was a good year since all the good songs were well performed and they all got some good points they deserved.

2007 or even if Serbia is a good winner

2008

2009 or

2010 even if Germany is ok for me

IMO, the best non-winning song of 1998 is the Netherlands and Edsilia Rombley's "Hemel en aarde". Perfect performance. 1998 was a very strong year so her 4th place is impressive!

In 2009, ESTONIA.
In 2010, FRANCE (outstanding performance, nobody saw it coming)
In 2011, ESTONIA (SO underrated I can't believe it ended up second to last!)

 

[gustav]

It's hard to choose from that great amount of songs, but this three instantly came to my mind after reading the topic title:

1. Lejla (2006)
2. Luna (2000)
3. Dancing lasha tumbai (2007)


Maybe I'll post a more extensive list sorted by year later on

Suppose not, especially since my taste usually differs a lot from others in this contest, both the national and international. Also, I liked Romania a lot that year, think I even voted for them, if I remember it right. Didn't win either, so...
