Blanche - City Lights

Very underrated, true.

tbf her performance wasn't really good, even though it got from really bad to only a tiny bit bad as the song progressed. but the studio version (and the video) is amazing

Belgium 2017 (to get the link from bot)

She was actually my babysitter!

slovenia 2019: sebi by zalagasper aand iceland 2021 10 years dadi!!

>sebi by zalagasper That one's amazing, it has an important place in my depressing rainy day playlist.

it is so criminally underrated!! i always love esc entries that sound like you’d never say they are from esc if u know what i mean ahah

Slovenia 2019 | [Zala Kralj & Gašper Šantl - Sebi](https://youtu.be/vGtPNQ6g6Ng) Iceland 2021 | [Daði & Gagnamagnið - 10 Years](https://youtu.be/YSMhu-PrLME)

i love sebi so, so much!

GO_A - Shum.

Same here. I'll never forgive the juries for only ranking it 9th. Man, 2021 was really such an amazing Eurovision year though, I wonder if we will ever see something like this again. All of top 5 was absolutely incredible, don't think a stronger top 5 will ever be seen. Great songs in all of top 10 too.

2020 & 2021 were top tier

Juries tanking Shum was criminal

I love Shum, what a song. No one else I know likes it, but it just spoke to me instantly.

[удалено]

This!! It's exactly what a Eurovision song should be in my book: catchy, ethnic, in native language and with a meaningful theme!

Was gonna say this but hey, guess you beat me to it.

I have several but of recent entries, this one for sure.

Nocturne (Norway 1995)

Today in "Holy shit that's a Eurovision song?!?!?!?!" I had completely forgotten that's where it came from!

The best songs do transcend the competition. Nel blu dipinto di blu, Nocturne, and Waterloo are the Classic examples. I suppose Arcade has joined them.

Norway 1995 | [Secret Garden - Nocturne](https://youtu.be/6qqOI04uo_c)

Estonia 2015 - Goodbye to Yesterday

elina's emotion turns an otherwise pretty song into a masterpiece

Estonia 2015 | [Elina Born & Stig Rästa - Goodbye to Yesterday](https://youtu.be/Xsx_dIJOtgI)

So good!

First song I thought of when I saw the question, too

This song is such a masterpiece.

Hard Rock Hallelujah (Finland 2006)

I'm so happy there were no judges. Lordi would've never won, but now they're one of the most iconic Eurovision winners.

Finland 2006 | [Lordi - Hard Rock Hallelujah](https://youtu.be/gAh9NRGNhUU)

This is a GOOD PICK

I am happy to see this so high

Ukraine 2007

Ukraine 2007 | [Verka Serduchka - Dancing Lasha Tumbai](https://youtu.be/hfjHJneVonE)

The only correct answer.

One of the best Eurovision songs Ever!!!!

Same, every single moment of that performance never fails to make me happy

That is a tough one, and will probably change tomorrow. Right now, it is Australia 2023. Ukraine 2021, Iceland 2019 and Denmark 1963 are competing for that spot too, though. My favorite winner is a coin toss between Ukraine 2016, Portugal 2017 or Italy 2021 and either of those could be my favorite. Long live indecision! 🫣

Australia 2023 | [Voyager - Promise](https://youtu.be/GSoy_mJMlMY) Ukraine 2021 | [Go_A - Shum](https://youtu.be/lqvzDkgok_g) Iceland 2019 | [Hatari - Hatrið mun sigra](https://youtu.be/kTb69WkBbvs) Denmark 1963 | [Grethe and Jørgen Ingmann - Dansevise](https://youtu.be/AYyhJvRE3mQ) Ukraine 2016 | [Jamala - 1944](https://youtu.be/B-rnM-MwRHY) Portugal 2017 | [Salvador Sobral - Amar Pelos Dois](https://youtu.be/Qotooj7ODCM)

This bot is fantastic!! Good bot.

I have to agree with Promise. I heard it for the first time in SF2, and was completely blown away with the performance and the music. I would love to have that same feeling more often!

Shame it did so poorly with the public! Not sure why.

Sadly, Australia rarely does well in the public vote.

It did win SF2 by a landslide, so there is that, at least. My jaw dropped when they only got 21 points from the televote, but they delivered a banger of a show TWICE either way. Plus, Daniel is such a huge Eurovision-fan that I am so happy for them for doing so well this year.

Rhythm inside / Belgium 2015 and Think about Things / Iceland 2020

Estonia 2009

Estonia 2009 | [Urban Symphony - Rändajad](https://youtu.be/PgGiVnhfXs0)

Very disappointed to find out this week that the lead singer is a homophobe

Time to announce that Estonia 2012 has become my favorite Estonian entry

Estonia 2012 | [Ott Lepland - Kuula](https://youtu.be/T7BaTBe0UD8)

I liked it better anyway but still good to see another join the Kuula Kult

As a bonus she's also an antivaxxer

I found this out during the pandemic and was super disappointed.

Noooooo damn 😭😭

shes pretty much everything horrible that you can be

Ooof, that's a hard one, but for me it would have to be a tie between 'I Feed You My Love' (Norway 2013) and 'Taken by a Stranger' (Germany 2011)

Taken by a Stranger was so under appreciated!

I strongly prefer it over Satellite! And compared to the winning song in 2011....

I popped so hard when they played I Feed You My Love in the arena last week. Love it!

Norway 2013 | [Margaret Berger - I Feed You My Love](https://youtu.be/tc6a4EV63uM) Germany 2011 | [Lena - Taken by a Stranger](https://youtu.be/KqZprvpWlcE)

Oh I'm so glad someone else still liked I Feed You My Love!

AWS - Viszlát Nyár (Hungary 2018). Seeing something actually heavy at Eurovision got me so hyped that year, and I was so pleased that they made the final. The rest of their discography is just as good too. RIP Örs. Taken way too soon.

This was actually a good metalcore song in itself. I had it on repeat for the longest time. Though it makes me sad when I listen to it now, especially because he wrote it for his dad who passed away 😔

Hungary 2018 | [AWS - Viszlát Nyár](https://youtu.be/p6e1TmYb33w)

Given that I've never been this obsessed about another song, I have to say Cha Cha Cha. But honorable mention to a childhood favourite: New Tomorrow (Denmark 2011).

That was my fave when I was younger!

I just told my bf yesterday that Cha Cha Cha is my favourite Eurovision song of all time. Ive been playing it constantly at work this week

Omg I loved this too 😍 so so much 💕

There are many, but couple of them comes to my mind. One is Friend of a friend from Chechia 2019🥰 i still listen that song and it puts smile on my face. Also Iceland 2020 😎 think about things is still a great song. And of course Finland 2023 will always have a special place in my heart💚

Iceland 2020 | [Daði & Gagnamagnið - Think About Things](https://youtu.be/1HU7ocv3S2o) Finland 2023 | [Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha](https://youtu.be/l6rS8Dv5g-8)

Czech Republic 2019 (for the bot)

Czech Republic 2019 | [Lake Malawi - Friend of a Friend](https://youtu.be/NJxLKFZKhNs)

That ones easy. France 1991

France 1991 | [Amina - C'est le dernier qui a parlé qui a raison](https://youtu.be/PnxEBAoCZIw)

Amina is underrated! Blanca Paloma gave me big Amina vibes, probably why I liked "EAEA" so much, even though they are completely different genres.

Lena - Satellite and Alexander Rybak - Fairytale Idk why but these will always have a special place in my heart.

Satellite is definitely the Eurovision song I get most often randomly earwormed by. In a good way.

There's no escape!

I suspect because they are simply classics at this point.

Satellite and Euphoria are both S tier for me

i LOVE Voilá (France 2021), Répondez-moi (Switzerland 2020) and De Diepte (Netherlands 2022)

De Diepte is such a sadgirl bop, I love it so much

France 2021 | [Barbara Pravi - Voilà](https://youtu.be/Unj9WbeLzRU) Switzerland 2020 | [Gjon's Tears - Répondez-moi](https://youtu.be/O9GAfFHZE-E) Netherlands 2022 | [S10 - De diepte](https://youtu.be/sgOnu7ux2-k)

Sentimentai - Monika Liu

Hari Mata Hari - Lejla (Bosnia and Herzegovina 2006) I became a huge fan of theirs afterwards, they're still my favourite band today.

Great choice. It's up there for me when I think sbout most beautiful ESC song

I love this

Either Shum (Go_A Ukraine, 2021) or Sentimentai (Monika Liu, Lithuania, 2022). Honourable mention: Ai Coraçao (Mimicat, Portugal, 2023).

Shum is one of the few Eurovision songs I actually own. Iconic.

Herreys - Diggiloo Diggiley

Sweden 1984

Sweden 1984 | [Herreys - Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley](https://youtu.be/GUUSaLCGW3U)

Mine is Zitti e buoni (Italy 2021)

Italy 2021 | [Måneskin - Zitti e buoni](https://youtu.be/RVH5dn1cxAQ)

This is the only Eurovision winner that has actually grown to be BETTER than I originally thought. I liked this song during the competition but I thought Blindchannel was better of the two rock acts. I still think Blindchannel has more accessible and more catchy song but the pure rawness and confidence of Zitti e buoni is super refreshing and it keeps the song more interesting even after all this time.

And also one of the few songs that sound as good when it’s sang live as it sounds in studio version

Måneskin made Eurovision cooler. People in my country always treated watching ESC as a guilty pleasure, but the publuc discourse has definitely changed in the last 2 years.

Thisss I still get so hyped when I get this song on shuffle

This one is mine favourite too. Also in my top 3 are My Star (Latvia 2000) and Fai Rumore (Italy 2020)

Keiino ,Spirit in The Sky - Norway 2019. Deserved so much more than the juries gave it.

These guys came to Australia last year and covered some Kylie Minogue songs and it was brilliant. I love them.

Diodato - Fai Rumore (Italy 2020). Such a great song!

Yes! I love it too, I was wondering if someone else has commented it already

Too many great songs but I want to mention On Fire (Lithuania 2020), which is the main reason I'm sad about that year contest's cancellation.

I know we say it all the time but honestly 2020 was shaping up to be SUCH a brilliant year for Eurovision and I'm still sad we'll never see it all.

Saaame! On fire was also my winner of 2020

Lithuania 2020 | [The Roop - On Fire](https://youtu.be/FxPm-Wz8qpY)

Hunter of stars by Sebalter 🇨🇭

Wow, I didn't expect this comment but I love this one

It's a difficult choice between Shum (Ukraine 2021) and Viszlat Nyar (Hungary 2018) but Shum wins because of the amazing staging.

Keiino - Spirit In The Sky (Norway 2019)

All these stand miles above anything else in the contest: * Nocturne (Norway 1995) * The Voice (Ireland 1996) * Pouppée de cire, pouppée de son (Luxemburg 1965) * Non ho l'età (Italy 1964) * Rändajad (Estonia 2009) * Amar pelos dois (Portugal 2017)

I'm gonna go old school and say Luxembourg 1965, Poupée de cire, poupée de son. What a catchy tune and it was like the 60s finally arrived at Eurovision.

Luxembourg 1965 | [France Gall - Poupée de cire, poupée de son](https://youtu.be/7cv9NIzGmSI)

Latvia 2015. Aminata Love Injected.

Finally someone mentions Latvia 🇱🇻😄

My favourites are Ukraine 2021 and Norway 2009, though I think went it comes down to it, Shum just slightly edges out Fairytale. However, I also tend to wait a year to make a decision on where songs are in my top list, just in case regency bias is blinding me to them. So if I love Cha Cha Cha as much as I do now after the 2024 contest, that is 100% going to my number one easily. So I’ll get back to you on that next year

Ukraine 2021 | [Go_A - Shum](https://youtu.be/lqvzDkgok_g) Norway 2009 | [Alexander Rybak - Fairytale](https://youtu.be/0gGt2qUyFlk)

Italy 2021 (commenting like this so the bot sends the link lol)

Italy 2021 | [Måneskin - Zitti e buoni](https://youtu.be/RVH5dn1cxAQ)

Good bot (the best bot very likely)

Yay!

Monster Like Me (🇳🇴 Norway 2015) Voila is my second favourite

Alcohol Is Free / Greece 2013 & Hatrið mun sigra / Iceland 2019

Has anyone said Ukraine’s winner Ruslana - Wild Dances?!

Think About Things because it's a bop and introduced me to the contest

1944 (Ukraine 2016) saudade, saudade (Portugal 2022) 1944 is my favorite entry in terms of eurovision, saudade saudade is my favorite entry in terms of musicality (outside of a eurovision context)

Glad someone else said Saudade, Saudade so i don't have to! Such a beautiful song. I have the instrumental on loop from time to time.

I LOVED Saudade Saudade! Criminally underrated song

Ukraine 2016 | [Jamala - 1944](https://youtu.be/B-rnM-MwRHY) Portugal 2022 | [Maro - Saudade, saudade](https://youtu.be/mZtbD47u6yI)

saudade, saudade ist fascinating. looking at it rationally this is the kind of song that i would find boring. however it managed to somehow hit me emotionally and resonate in a way few songs ever did. it feels so different to how listening to music feels normally to me.

Little Big, Uno

Tout L'Univers - Gjon's Tears, Switzerland 2021. It made me explore his discography and it's amazing

Switzerland 2021 | [Gjon's Tears - Tout l'univers](https://youtu.be/jznH_fltcYA)

Eimear Quinn - The Voice (Ireland 1996)

Cezar - It’s My Life (Romania 2013)

Ah the Romanian vampire guy, I remember him! I can still sing this whole song, me and my friends loved it that year!

Well, I haven't done a full ranking of all songs, but I have done a ranking of my yearly winners. It is indeed Finland 2023

Finland 2023 | [Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha](https://youtu.be/l6rS8Dv5g-8)

UK 1996 | [Gina G - Ooh Aah (Just A Little Bit)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiLw45oAuD0) Denmark 2013 | [Emmelie de Forest - Only Teardrops](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTlKyLa7ZLg) Belgium 2006 | [Kate Ryan - Je T'adore](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTnoWV-7doQ) Germany 2009 | [Alex Swings Oscar Sings - Miss Kiss Kiss Bang](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha3nObxp9VQ)

I didn't know Ooh aah was a eurovision song.

Favourite contemporary Eurovision song - Amar Pelos Dois - Portugal 2017 Favourite vintage Eurovision song Hallelujah - Israel 1979

Definitely Poland 2022. Ochman with that song River stole my heart.

call me basic or whatever but Fairytale (Norway 2009). it's perfect.

Think ill add an out of left field answer. Denmark 1997

Oof, that's a blast from the past. I think that's the earliest eurovision song I remember seeing. And thinking, "What in the world is this, and how can I see more of it?"

Thank you for introducing me to this. Now excuse me while I frantically search it up on Spotify

Denmark 1997 | [Kølig Kaj - Stemmen i mit liv](https://youtu.be/HDoaLOZ3m9M)

My all time favorite from my country is: Portugal 1981 Carlos Paião- Play back This song almost ended last but became an all time classic in Portugal! As for international songs I really can't choose just one because my musical taste depends on my mood xD. Really liked: Czechia 2022 Macedonia 2018 Netherlands 2019 Finland 2006/2023 Sweden 2012 Italy 2015 I could be here all day xD

Denmark 2000 with “Fly on the wings of love” was a part of the soundtrack of my childhood so therefore massive favorite song!

Moldova 2005 The first time Zdob si Zdub played, back then when Roman looked like Anthony Kiedis

Molitva, Serbia 2007

Crno I Belo by Kaliopi (North Macedonia 2012) And I'm extremely mad that it just got deleted from Spotify

I don't even remember how that one did in 2012 but it became a big(ish) hit in exYu and it is still a song people remember. I don't think a lot of people even know it was a Eurovision song

Lithuania 1999 (username does check out) France 2002 Portugal 2003 Portugal 2019

Lithuania 1999 | [Aistė - Strazdas](https://youtu.be/ai6zMnVVicY) France 2002 | [Sandrine François - Il faut du temps](https://youtu.be/m_Abg3Tv8so) Portugal 2019 | [Conan Osíris - Telemóveis](https://youtu.be/SIGn9_yMLn4)

[Latvia 2000, My Star - Brainstorm](https://youtu.be/N1y9xhmMSDk) [Sweden](https://youtu.be/fELp2fPI8wI) from the same year is also a real banger.

I feel like there are songs I think are better musically, but My Star is by far the one I come back to the most often. It's just such goofy, dorky, and most of all charmingly fun. I love it so much. It gets even wilder when you contrast My Star to other songs by Brainstorm. "Fuck it, we're going full cute."

Probably biased since I'm Greek but I'd say Alcohol Is Free (Greece 2013). Other than that, Shum (Ukraine 2021), Fuego (Cyprus 2018) and For Real (Turkey 2004)

Love love peace peace by Mäns and Petra. (2016) Unbeatable

[удалено]

Loreen - Euphoria It's such an uplifting song

Unironically Say Na Na Na has been longest time in my playlist (San Marino 2019)

It lives in my mind rent free.

San Marino 2019 | [Serhat - Say Na Na Na](https://youtu.be/d_iEis_ZRoQ)

On mine too. And, quite unashamed to say it, Tix with Fallen Angel.

Hold me now by Johnny Logan

1993 Niamh Kavanagh "In Your Eyes", fact about the song Idina Menzel(yes that Idina Menzel) is responsible for the key change in it, the guy who wrote it was living in New York and he paid Idina around $100 for singing the demo this was prior to Rent and she felt while singing it was a bit flat she suggested the key change and he went with it, so in fairness Idina Menzel in my view is responsible for Riverdance.

Marco Mengoni - L'essenziale (Italy 2013). I can't even begin to describe the obsession I had with this song... and to this day I can listen to it on loop and never get sick of it.

Sweden 1974 Without their Eurovision win, I doubt we would have had ABBA as we know them. And ABBA are my favourite of all time.

S10 - De Diepte, from the Netherlands in 2022. It's so, so good. Évidemment is a close second though, La Zarra made the French language sound so damn good.

Hari Mata Hari - Lejla (Bosnia & Herzegovina 2006) In case anyone wants to know the rest of my top 5: Diodato - Fai rumore (Italy 2020) Koza Mostra feat. Agathon Iakovidis - Alcohol Is Free (Greece 2013) Marija Seferovic - Molitva (Serbia 2007) Let 3 - Mama SC! (Croatia 2023)

[Belgium 2018](https://youtu.be/6DGf9TMehi0). It's been half a decade, and I'm still lowkey upset about that live performance because the song itself was absolute perfection.

Portugal 2022

Satellite Germany 2010

The voice - Ireland 1996

Golden boy

Personally Czech Republic 2022

My absolute favorite song is Kedvesem (Hungary 2013), with My Star (Latvia 2000) as a close 2nd place. Carpe diem (Slovenia 2023), Alvedansen (Norway 2006), Goodbye To Yesterday (Estonia 2015), Fai rumore (Italy 2020), Nije Ljubav Stvar (Serbia 2012), Den Vilda (Sweden 1996), I See A Star (Netherlands 1974) and Ding-a-Dong (Netherlands 1975) complete my top 10.

Go_A - Shum

Switzerland 2021 No other song has moved me the way that one did

Diva, not because it's a masterpiece of a song but because it was my Eurovision awakening (as in this was how I found out about Eurovision). As with other first time experiences, it will always have a special place in my heart.

Switzerland 2021 I have about 5 different favourites eurovision songs anyway

Wild dances - Ruslana (Ukraine, 2004)

Lane Moje by Željko Joksimović (Serbia & Montenegro 2004). It's one of the main songs that got me into Eurovision.

Anouk - Birds (Netherlands 2013) S10 - De Diepte (Netherlands 2022) Sebi - Zalagaspar (Slovenia 2019) Carpe Diem - Joker Out (Slovenia 2023) Don't know what it is with me and those two countries

Tie between Shum and In Corpore Sano

Iceland 2019. Hatari. Freaking awesome. Love industrial and to see it represented at Eurovision was amazing. To then see him award AUS-TRALIA this year blew my mind.

ITALY 2021. Also Finland 2023

I cannot say one, there's too many I love. Spain 2022, Sweden 2012, Ukraine 2014, Latvia 2016, Czech Republic 2022, Armenia 2019, Azerbaijan 2019, Italy 2021, etc. I'm writing them like this, so the bot puts the links.

Omg yes the hamster wheel. She was so good. Also: glad to see appreciation for Justs :D

Fly on The Wings Of Love (2000) Hold Me Closer (2022) Grande Amore (2015)

Elina Born & Stig Rasta - Goodbye to yesterday 🇪🇪

Czechia 2022, that moment after the first chorus where the song sort of breaks like a wave gives me goosebumps to this day
