1. My last place won in Eurovision 2014, 2016, 2018.

Also in 1973, 1978, 1979, 2003, 2004.

I thought it's impossible to dislike "Fairytale", maybe he was the most deserved winner in all Eurovision history.

Meanwhile 2004 remains the only Ukraine entry i liked. Everything else after that was really bad.

Overrated and awful song! However i'm not the only one in the world who hates ''Fairytale''. There are more out there!

Yeah, I don't hate it but I was really surprised that this song was the favorite, I didn't really get the appeal.

Imagine having Sertab last this has got to be some kind of awful mistake

Maybe the big success it had, turnt the dislike into ''hate'' in my case. No matter what it's my least favorite winner for sure.

Caught up with this NF as well, I feel so painfully slow working through all those songs My ranking of entries that I enjoy and wouldn't mind winning:

4. Samanta Tina - Still Breathing (I like it, but still... I find this quite niche, a borderline qualifier at best)
3. Katrina Dimanta - Heart Beats
2. ANNNA - Polyester (I think overall the best choice for Latvia. Still niche, but a bit larger kind of niche)
1. Bad Habits - Sail With You

Honorable NQ mentions:
Antra Stafecka un Atis Ieviņš - Coming Over (the song itself is not that special, but they perform the hell out of it and have an amazing chemistry together)
Madara - Maras Zeme (I don't care I haven't heard Esamiba yet. This is absolutely brilliant. It not making the cut is a crime! The juries are all criminals! Grrrrrrrr!)

Polyester would be incredible tbh. Deadpan slam poetry set to a dope synth track that calls out all the dirt of the fashion industry Woke Warrior done RIGHT

I guess that "Is it true ?" is your # 1 from 2009. Am I right?

Is it time for Tina?.Has she ever looked more fabulous?.If i could just get hold of one of those blonde hairs id be up to Roslin in Scotland demanding instead of Dolly they clone me my very own Samanta Tina.

Νο! Finland and Romania are!

"Tridymite" is still my favorite song maybe, but "Still Breathing" is one of the songs I have been listening the most recently. I haver never expected to like this as much as I'm Especially that instrumental after the high note

 

[Daybreak]

Finland really? Cool, Lose Control was my absolute favorite from that year! (although I did think the staging made it look slightly ridiculous compared to the amazing music video)

I agree. The staging probably didn't work but the song was the best imo.

 

[Mrm]

Samanta Tina is going for GOLD here.. It's now or never..

 

[Mimmon]

I still prefer this masterpiece.

 

[Citelis]

That was amazing too!
