>>220866881Albania 2012 is a great call. It was a very strong year. Allthough I think Sweden deserved to win, Albania was my fav and I'm also a sucker for Donny Montells - Love is Blind as it's so silly and overthetop but in a admirable way.
I think 2009-2013 was the absolute peak of eurovision with 2011 being perhaps the most competitive ever:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTI-wDJ1zTI>Hungary>Ireland>Sweden>Estonia>Greece>France>Moldova>Germany>Slovenia>Iceland>SpainAll very memorable in one way or another with Iceland having one of the best meta-stories ever.

>>220866881I dont watch this shit cos Im not homosexual, but I like the song that won this year, its catchy
>>220866881Eurovision is very antisemitic, why is this allowed?
>>220869964France Gall is definitely my favourite of all time.But you can't really say there was much of a stage show there, which seems to be what OP was asking for. Just a cute girl singing and not giving a fuck about being perfect or impressing everyone (unlike everyone else that evening). Lena in 2010 had the same vibe - again stood out by not going with the flow, which by then was putting on a massive show.
>>220870070>Eurovision is very antisemiticI wish it was. Fucking EBU went out of its way to keep Netanyahu's state media in the competition, five countries that anyone would rather have has there left because of that.Besides, I always hate it when the French send a boring Frech ballad. Why should I not give fucking Israel shit for doing the same? At least France have an excuse for doing it.
>>220870070fat tits beats kike trickery
>>220870277>fat titsYeah, but she also was cute in general and unironically the best performer of the evening.
>>220870277>>220870070SEX WITH DARA
>>220870375Sadly, she's married. Talked about her husband and how he owes her a pizza in all post-win interviews.Don't think she's available for casual sex.

>>220866881Finland's 2013 performances live rent-free in my mind.It's so cute and carefree.And it bothers me that it became last and got 0 points in the grand final.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlBXOveVh7c&list=RDdlBXOveVh7c&start_radio=1
>>220871428Shouldn't have taken that long to post that greatness, OP is a faggot and Lordi crushing the sissies that year was Eurovision's peak
>>220871443>It's so cute and carefree.That's the problem. Happy silly girlbops have never been famous at the contest.See also:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxvmdR7oYdQOr for a ambivalently upbeat (melocomedic) silly disco girlbop:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MB628Kanzo

>>220871443Why do europeons try so hard to be american? Its so fucking cringe
>>220866881I genuinely dont get this Eurovision meme? Is it supposed to be a freakshow or actual musical competition or whatever?
>>220866881>Norway 2019Absolute banger. Still pissed it didn't win.
>>220871581>americanThat's fucking Swedish to the core, brainlet. The only "American" music is fucking rap and hiphop. Anything else you imported.
>>220871609There's nothing to get. It isn't freaky enough to be a freakshow, there isn't music good enough to make it about music, and there is no competition because everybody just votes based on political shit.
>>220871634its literally apeing american pop music, are you fucking daft? there is nothing swedish or whatever about that whole fucking performance
>>220871650>there isn't music good enough to make it about musicThere's always some good music. Unless you talk about certain years in the early 00s.
>>220871548>Happy silly girlbops have never been famous at the contestthats literally what won this year
>>220871665>apeing american pop musicAgain, you have no idea what you're talking about.Americans did not invent pop music (or anything of value, really), and this particular style has always been Swedish in origin.
>>220871682I'm talking about post 2000, yeah. Idk, it's nothing special. In older seasons, they had a handful of actually good songs.
>>220871688No. What won this year was the stage show and the performer, not the song. It's also not really "girlbop", and rather contemporary, so it had that going for it.
>>220871695they dont even sing in swedish you absolute fucking cuckold lmao
>>220866881BANGARANGA
>>220871699>it's nothing special.Depends on what you're looking for. Compositionally, you always have a few outliers. Ballads generally are pretty decently made, but frankly, I'm not a fan of ballads either.Ironically, when it comes to contemporary pop, the few really well-written and well-produced ones usually end up somewhere in the midfield (that's why stuff literally gets criticised as "too radio-friendly for ESC").
>>220871732>they dont even sing in swedishNot sure at this point whether you're just trolling or actually this retarded.Do you think ABBA sang in Swedish or something?
>>220871682It's not good music for people with taste.
>>220871795what is YOUR point? there is literally nothing swedish about abba either. its literally american music ripoff
>>220871813You're not even watching, are you?
>>220871825>literally nothing swedish about abba eitherYeah, you're fucking trolling.
>>220871825>there is literally nothing swedish about abba either.lolwut
For me, it's Germany 2010.
>>220871964Still the most authentic winner of the last 25 years by a long short. No big show, just her. And we all know it was her charisma, not the song, that won.She's the anti-Loreen (overproduced and overchoreographed).
>>220872041Song was still catchy, though.
>>220871854>>220871862what exactly is swedish about abba...?
>>220866881I'm not reading all that but I assume that epic sax guy is there.
>>220871964>>220872041Oh, and I forgot to add: I'm glad she won that year and not Manga, which is unironically one of the worst acts Turkey ever sent, and so fucking tryhard. Mor ve Ötesi in 2008 was the significantly better Turkish alt-rock band.Speaking of better Turkish entries:Sebnem Parker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Blywpx1ZqOAAnd her song from the following year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5J6-bCMz3YAlso the way underrated Iki Dakika: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr2-D19CGQE
>>220872226Not to be a contrarian, but I prefer spinning violin guy at the beginning.
You know what, anons. I'm in the mood for a game. Give me any country and I'll give you their best entry ever and their worst entry ever, in my utterly unbiased objective opinion.And, no, you're not being clever by picking Morocco.

>>220871964The euro-version of Taylor Swift
2006 when Iceland's Silvia Night trolled the entire event with absolute maniac interviews and performance. Silvia Night was a character played by an actress and pretty much nobody got it. Especially the Greeks (where the competition was held) were particularly butthurt. She was even booed on stage. The whole thing was hilarious.Enjoy the potato quality:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVdf7KrevF0
>>220872335LuxembourgSpainAustriaCzechiaPoland
>>220872421Didn't Taylor Swift come from country?Lena has no background in Schlager.I think you're looking for someone more like Helene Fischer.
>>220866881/tv/ is so fucking homosexual, holy shit
>>220872452>LuxembourgBest: France, of course.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyFnDf8PvmUWorst: Sophie Garel and Chris Baldo, old-fashioned even then, and dissonant.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lecahSE8bZkHonourable mention: Really enjoyed last years homage to Frace Gall by Laura Thorn.>SpainBest: Él. Just quintessentially Spanish.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXYFmy-YaP8Worst: Blas Cantó. Not even that bad technically, but I'm really not a fan of anything in that one. Gay-baiting male singer, pop-ballad, repetitive as fuck.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thV-vhOQHvQHonourable mention: Masiel's La La La, just because of the La La La.>AustriaBest: Teya and Salena and Edgar Allan Poe. Fun performance.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uk64V9h0KoWorst: Trackshittaz. No elaboration needed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6IKHZ4ovioHonourable mention: Udo Jürgens. Merci Chérie is far from his best song, but his discography is truly impressive.>CzechiaBest: Vesna. Ethno-pop. I like the vibe.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag8qxpvTTy0Worst: "O Maga". Terrible both as a song and the performance.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgGRCTUPsqYHonourable mention: None, really. I have nothing clever to say about the other acts.>PolandBest: Donatan and Cleo. Even beyond the sexy staging, I can appreciate a clever genre-mix like this one.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8J3GAg5zaIWorst: Light Me Up. Just terrible. Guy can't sing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyoiCyP4BkgHonourable mention: Edyta Górniak. Truly wonderful singer.

>>220873119>BulgariaBest: Gotta say, Dara. Might be part recency bias, but it was a perfect performance.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EltgrumKJfkWorst: Deep Zone and Balthazar. No idea what that even was.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-uCAFTr4ewHonourable mention: Poli Genova's If Love Was A Crime would be my top choice if not for this year.>IsraelBest: Eden Alene. Decent song, well sung, cute girl. Bonus points for the outfit change.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Y-blG5ptwoWorst: Teapacks. Even for a joke entry ... it just didn't work.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KhPzTLQBJEHonourable mention: Noa and Mira Awad, There Must Be Another Way. An actual pro-peace, anti-apartheid song from Israel. Unthinkable nowadays.>RomaniaBest: Playing With Fire. Yeah, it's gimmicky. But it's genuinely good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9EtMZXeQZwWorst: Theodor Andrei. Bad singer, song itself is a mess.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRxv-AUCinQ&list=RDEM61kG4hBpkcb1d_8yci0Jfg&start_radio=1Honourable mention: Malina Olinescu, Eu cred. Really solid balad, great singer.>AustraliaBest: Dami Im. Great voice and stage presence.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ymFX91HwM0Worst: Sheldon Riley. I can see what they were going for, but it didn't come together at all.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wosfFz2FJPUHonourable mention: None. They've only been there for a decade and generally been pretty decent overall.>ItalyBest: Insieme. What can I say? It's a classic. And very "Eurovision" in spirit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiRppGSF-tIWorst: Francesco Gabbani. Not good. Appreciate the gorilla though.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KieE_MLv-ZYHonourable mention: Gigliola Cinquetti, I enjoyed her 1974 entry "Si" more than her winning entry in 1964.
>>220866881All the confusion over the inclusion of Pissrael and Australia dissipates the moment you give any of this vile shit a listen.You couldn't synthesize anything more spiritually Israeli/Australian (remarkably similar actually) if you tried. Really is a perfect barometer of the state of the crumbling globalism
>>220873281The early 2000s saw a rise in "queerbaiting" as paticiating broadcasters realized that there the audience demographic included more and more gays and lesbians who were fully invested in the contest (and more likely to vote than the traditional general audience). You won't be surprised to hear who started that trend by sending a transsexual "diva" in 1998 with a terrible song and won.
>>220866881The correct answer is this nigga looking like a final fantasy boss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgHWFiavqjAHe even got phases
>>220873601>confusion over the inclusion of Pissrael and AustraliaWhat confusion? They're EBU members. Well, Australia is only an associate member, and strictly speaking, their inclusion was a bit of a copout. But if you're invested enough to understand that detail, you don't have any right to be confused.As for Israel, the actual critical question here is why they weren't treated the same way Russia were for doing something similar.
I don't think you get it. This thread is about the most kino entries. Not your favorite.
>>220874149Problem with that is that people would rather talk about what they like than about some shit that was cinematic but trash. Naturally.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBbL8ORqNVU>This came last
>>220874521Norway is the socially awkward nerd who is allowed into to jock-clique of Nordic countries so they can copy their homework from him (i.e. get high points for free), but never return anything other than making him feel included.
>>220873174it's WEFvision
American hours here really ruin any kind of discussion of art and culture.
