So, there's no thread about the first winner of the new millennium.... or the last of the old, depending on how you count. Well, i for one don't know why everyone picks on 2001's "Everybody" and 2002's "I Wanna" as the worst recent winners - in my opinion, they both easily deserved to win, though there wasn't much competition, and i like them more than some of the more recent winners. But i'm surprised this one isn't considered one of the worst winners by anybody.

Overall, as far as the songs themselves go, 2000 must have been one of the single worst lineups ever, no matter how much i look back on it there really wasn't one single tune i liked, though Stefan Raab was at least funny, but i remember still thinking this win was a bit unexpected when i watched it at the time. I remember thinking it was all about young and youthful artists otherwise, and they must have won because the older viewers just decided to protest against the dominance of youngsters by voting for the only grey-haired artists on the entire evening, and not because they liked it in any other way.

What did you think, did they deserve to win? Who's your favorite from 2000?

For me, :dk: 2000 is one of the best winners ever and the best winner in 2000s decade.
""Fly on the wings of love" was amazing, very catchy, entertaining, brilliantly performed. Everything I love about an entry is in this song.

:ee: 2001 deserved to win because even if "Everybody" was good and not great, the live performance won me over.

But "I wanna" was annoying, not melodic at all and I didn't find any positive note in this song, so it was by far the worst winner ever in ESC and didn't even deserve to finish in top 15 that year...
