What's your mum's favourite?

[revallsay]

Well, my mother has no intrest in Eurovision. Last year during the second semi, we had guests at house and the tv was on and she was watchING ESC only briefly. When I asked her who she liked the most, she said she didn't pay any attention about the show (expect the polish performance), but she remembers those 'who were singing about the forest' - she doesn't speak English, so she didn't understand the lyrics. When I was thinking about which song could that be, I found out it was Georgia

My mum is like most of yours, she never misses an opportunity to criticize Eurovision, but she always ends up watching it with me and telling me which songs she likes

Here's a quick history:

2009:
2010:
2011:
2012:
2013:
2014:

I'll keep you posted for 2015.

Here's some more Mum history..

2012:
2013: (my mother simply adored Cezar)
2014:


I'm sure i'm missing out a few. This is just from my memory.. and darn right she loved "Suus". She had absolutely no choice but to love "Suus"

I doubt my mum will listen to anything before the contest this year but she loved and in 2014

Clairsensant mom :O

 

[Uvaro]

my mum liked the best but and came close.

 

[Luki]

My mom hates almost every song from the past 10 years... :'D But as she used to be a huge ESC fan herself I know among her favs are 1990 and 2006. My dad on the other hand likes anything sent by Turkey iirc. To this day I still catch my sister singing Is It True. :'D

 

[Schlagerman1]

and darn right she loved "Suus". She had absolutely no choice but to love "Suus"

Both mom and I hated "Suus" before ESC, but when I called her after the semi she was like "Well I gotta say that that screaming woman was actaully pretty good"

 

[Lupus]

I really ought to get my Mum to listen to a few more then! She is an ABBA fan and keeps surprising me with her knowledge of the slightly less-than-recently successful ones (ie 1970s/80s)!

 

[Kairit]

I haven't had her listen all of the songs, maybe half or so, if that. I should do another listening sesh with her soon.
But so far I think she has liked and mostly because of the languages and she's a big fan of Italian music anyway, because it reminds her of her youth when Italian music was a huge deal. She said she wants Italy to win.
She also likes a lot and our song as well. I showed her thinking that she wouldn't like it, but she said that yes, she surprisingly liked it and she liked her interesting voice and the violin. She thought the song stood out and couldn't really explain why, it just does. That's when I realised that oh, maybe this song could have big chances.
So yeah. I guess I should have her listen to all of the songs actually, since I did only show her the ones that I just found worth it.

Last year she liked and and the most .. I don't remember about the previous years, but in 2011 she loved the most from the start and it won.

 

[BarefootBoogaloo]

I managed to convert my family into ESC fans last year but they prefer to wait and hear the entries when the shows happen.

My dad just judges the vocal ability and song. After Conchita's semi final performance last year he said, "That's the winner." He wouldn't even play along and do points with us because, "There's no point in giving out points if there's only one winner."

My mom's favorites last year: , , , , (she wasn't able to see the semis)

My brother's favorites last year: , , , , , , , , , , ,

 

[Simon87]

I showed her my favorite Slovenia and she likes it
She also liked Israel she is into arabic music

 

[theCONWEL]

I casually put some of the songs on in the car and gauge her reaction from that I've not had the chance this year yet though haha...

Ones I know she loved:

2013
2013
2014
2014

and I know she hates 2015

I remember my dad was a big fan of 2012 and 2013...

Personal favourites in order:
Russia

Azerbaijan
Poland
Macedonia
Romania
Norway


I'll post her comments for each of them too (sorry she is pretty negative ):

Spain - Good, catchy tune, surprisingly spain sent something decent and listenable
Poland - good, I really like this one
Denmark - would've been good 20 years ago
Estonia - meh I'm bored with this one
Malta - alright, a little boring, needs some oomph.
Hungary - Utter crap, needs to get going
Slovenia - Absolutely fab song but not keen on the singer
Lithuania - Doesn't do a lot for me sorry
Ireland - sweet song but a bit boring
Italy - listenable but nothing to write home about
Greece - little too shouty for me
Romania - quite like this one, good song
Switzerland - not really sure how I feel about this one
Germany - hate it, she can't sing
UK - Deserves to get nothing, love this kind of music hate this song
Cyprus - Sweet song, missing something, nothing stands outforgetful
Iceland - good but bland
Latvia - wailing, wailing next
France - boring, screamy and crappy song - like most things France send nowadays
Georgia - like the song, needs more though
Serbia - it's alright, nothing special
Belarus - doesn't do anything for me
Moldova - Utter crap, move on
Netherlands - okay chorus but verses are missing something
Czech - it's okay but a bit boring and not catchy
Finland - awful song
Belgium - not a fan of this, bit too modern for me
Macedonia - Really like this one
Portugal - Really boring and doesn't go anywhere
Armenia - too many people singing, they really don't need 6
Israel - not a fan, the lyrics are strange too
Norway -brilliant song however they can't sing well together
Sweden - will do very well, like the light show and him
Albania - sounds alright
Russia - Best song you've shown me, very good entry
Azerbaijan - A catchy ballad, nicely done!
Austria - awful and boring, but will do better than the UK
Montenegro - boring ballad
Australia - Sounds almost 80s disco, a bit dated, expected more for them
San Marino - It's a pretty good song but nothing catchy or stand out so will be completely forgotten


Other thoughts:
UK last and France 2nd last
Finland will do well for the wrong reasons

From her reactions when I've been listening to them, and .

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

My Mum loves Eric Saade Sting She says it would have been a gooden for Eurovision

 

[GRE]

My mum is not a fan of eurovision, and never listen the songs before the Final.
BUT,
at the big night, she only says "THIS", and guess what !
She predicts the winner !
She is the average viewer of Eurovision, so i always count on her opinion.

 

[lavieenrose]

So my parents responded well to Norway & Australia, not at all to Germany & Israel, and badly to Slovenia (!), the UK, and especially Georgia.

I remember my mum's fave in 2013 was Azerbaijan and in 2014 she liked Russia and Spain, but ended up voting for San Marino

 

[NikkiBoy]
