Overrated / Underrated

[EvNickGR]

lool greece was overrated and the song was not even chosen... so trust me that greece and azerbaijan are the most overrated countries from eurovision. they were in top 5 at the bets and the song was not even chosen.. so yes:

Greece was overrated at the bets because six years now, is Top 10.

Overrated : Ireland - you just like this ballad because Niamh Kavanaugh sings it.
Underrated : Portugal - you just don't like this ballad because Catarina Pereira came second. Oh, and because it's in Portuguese...

That not true. I think many people compare this songs to the last 2 wonderful!! songs of Portugal. And I think , just like many other people, that this song is weaker than the last 2.

And that's another reason. Thanks!

2009 is way weaker. This is a great ballad and although I hoped for CANTA POR MIM, this wast he second best choice and I really like it. Senhora do mar is a true classic. however. 2007 is also better.

Agreed. Except 2009 is my favourite Portuguese song.
Sabrina was, and still is, great fun, no one could ever top that performance. Senhora do Mar was an instant soulful classic, Flor-de-Lis was tradition.
"Há Dias Assim" is a good ballad, sure, not even close to Yohanna's masterpiece, but still better than Malta's for instance.
It doesn't deserve half the slack it's getting here... :roll:
Shame Canta Por Mim couldn't make it... Oh well...

It's strange. At first I liked Todas As Ruas Do Amor but then it grew off me. A certain person who associate ESC 90% with this song is a key factor, probably. Whenever we speak about ESC, they always have to say they love that song. Malta isn't as weak, Iceland for me was a bit overrated but at least I'm happy it was Iceland.

Well at least Flor-de-Lis have a fan there!
Malta (2010) is a snooze fest... :roll: It's the one I hate the most this year. Chiara (2009) wasn't any good either. I think Filipa's ballad is superior to both Maltese entries.

I was talking about Chiara. Hers was definitely more successful.

About this topic:

Overrated: Israel, Azerbaijan?!
Underrated: Slovenia & Netherlands

I was talking about Chiara. Hers was definitely more successful.

Well, to date at least, yes.

Overrated: Israel (My country's song, and a good one! but a winner? I dont see it wins, hope I'm wrong :-), I'll give it 3-7 place max)
Underrated: Belarus ( A realy good disney-like song, I would bet top 10)

Not really! :| I personally like your language and now and then I tend to listen to Portuguese language based music (Cesaria Evora from Cape Verde being one example ). I really hoped that Catarina would win, because the song was simply great. This one, not really. :| There were better songs in the Portuguese NF than this one for sure. I actually didn't like your last year's entry, but I did love Sabrina in 2007! And I did like your 2004 entry, which I think it was very underrated.
However, I'm going to agree with you that Ireland is overrated. I could imagine them ending 11th in the semi-final and missing the final by one point!

Overrated: Denmark - Norway

Underrated: Cyprus - Belgium

Thanks but I do think that Belgium is not underrated, their are many people who think that Tom will end in the top 15 and I also think this is the right place

 

[FallenAngelII]

Greece is over-rated too - it's a terrible din. Not remotely tuneful in any way. Whoever televotes for it has criminal music taste in my humble opinion.

The odds before the national finals are based on how well the countries have done in the past few years. These odds change eventually. The Greek entry itself is not overrated since no one expects it to come close to winning (and it won't).
