on comments tha aged poorly
@@vogelmeister6809 I was so young and naive 😢
@@eurovisiongal7007 we all were
Oh, yes. "I'm standing here, just because of you / every part of me is a part of you" - this stucked in my head but sometimes I forget where I heard it? This video reminded, haha. Fantastic.
aww thank you for putting Amir so high, I really love that song. Also like Poli, Zoe, Dami, Donny and a few others but Jamala was the clear winner that year.
Thank you so much for the high Iceland ranking, it’s my favourite eurovision song of all time
6:50 i actually have a cool story about that song, i saw it when i was 7 years old and i didnt remembered the name of the song (i speak hebrew), i only remembered a guy with a drum, the music a little and a floor made out pf lava, after 3 years i saw the 2016 Eurovision song contest again and i found out that this was the song that i remembered his music so much time, now i really likes this song!
i was the same except it was with montengro 2017 and i just thought... i want to be a helicopter now too
My top 10:
1. Russia
2. Hungary
3. Serbia
4. Bulgaria
5. Armenia
6. Sweden
7. Belgium
8. Bosnia
9. Cyprus
10. Australia
Thank you very much for the 8th place! 🇭🇺❤️
your MIND!! your TASTE!!!
placing dami 13th is a crime to humanity
2016 was a fine year, practically almost every performance (even the less than stellar ones!) really felt like it was on a different stage, hell, a different plane of existence, and that itself kinda elevated each performance.
41: Geez, starting this commentary off strong with an entry I’m pretty sure almost everyone forgot. Have you listened to the club remix of this? It’s...interesting if not a bit generic.
40: Can’t believe i would ever say this about Moldova but...oh yeah, they competed this year.
39: I think the like to dislike ratio on the live performance says a lot already.
38: Oof, normally I don’t MIND when a song gets translated into English, but something about how this entry does it rubs me the wrong way.
36: haha funny pole man go weeeeeee
35: And this would start the downwards meme spiral San Marino would be in now. We have been either blessed or cursed depending on if people actually tolerate San Marino.
34: Eck, this one makes me irrationally angry until I have to remind myself it’s a 3 minute song. Still don’t quuuite like it.
31: Talk about taking influence from last year’s entries. Kinda feels like they just slapped random effects where it didn’t fit and called it a day but...at least it kinda looks okay?
30: I still don’t quite under the outfit, it probably would’ve gotten a somewhat higher placement if it was handled better. I’ve talked about this entry before in the last place ranking so I’ll just leave it at this.
28: I can’t really tell whether or not I hate this entry or secretly enjoy it. Already seems kinda divisive to begin with. Also rip, the only Nordic to qualify and it was an automatic one :(
27: I would like both parts of the song separately, both just sound like my jam, but I just do not think they mesh well together at all. Tis’ a shame cause I probably would’ve liked it.
25: I will admit the staging does seem hard to pull off (I recall in a 2019 video Sergey was reacting to his 2016 performance and saying he hurt his leg during rehearsals)
21: They have a pretty decent track record if their worst result was being the closest to qualify that year.
15: The Czech were taking baby steps this half-decade and I really think it paid off. Kinda sucks it got 0 televote points but...I kinda get it.
14: Ah Georgia, just doing its own thing. I’m afraid I just can’t sit through that performance, not because it’s bad, but because the flashing lights always give me a headache.
9: Man, getting sick during Eurovision must be the worst.
6: I think this is up there with my top 3 Cypriot entries. This live isn’t nearly as flashy as Georgia’s so I can kinda sit through it.
5: Yeah, this is actually really fun. I find myself listening to it way too much...if that’s a crime, then we would be criminals.
2: A good example on how the placements don’t always match the quality of the entry itself.
1: Ooh, this one. This one’s a really controversial entry, dare I say one of the most controversial winners. I’m one of the people who really likes this entry but I do understand some of the hate it gets. Wailing women don’t exactly appeal to everyone.
The hosts put a lot of work into making this eurovision look very expensive and high quality. And there was a new and renewed focus on perfecting the staging after Mans' victory!
41: I'm not really super into remixes, but I do think this song really needed some revitalisation... It definitely has some fans but the performance is too cringe for me. 😂
40: Moldova does have the odd bland moment, which is a shame because they're usually so interesting!
39: Apparently some corruption or scandal went down, I think, which explains why they were even there...
35: I'm kind of torn! Current San Marino has given us some hilarious and iconic moments, but leaning hard into their meme status sometimes doesn't amuse me (I liked next to nothing about Who We Are) and I think it would be a shame if they ditched the idea of letting artists from such a tiny country like Valentina have a real moment.
34: I kind of like the song but the whole performance is just so... Grating. I'd rank this lower now but I think I'd been streaming the studio version quite a bit when I made this video.
28: So weird that this year feels very scandipop influenced but the only one in the final was Sweden! I quite like the verses but the whole thing does irrationally annoy me a little.
25: Yes, I heard he literally fell of the thing in rehearsals. I think he's a great talent to have pulled it off so seamlessly and so are the people who made the staging work, but I have to admit that just because it's impressive doesn't necessarily mean I prefer it to other songs.
21: They were so strong in the 2000s! It's a shame this entry didn't quite make it, the raw potential is there but it's a little messy.
9: Really the worst timing considering her voice is her biggest strength... She covered Suus!
2: I've tried to explain it over the years but I think she was just forgotten, which is a real shame :( I adore her and this song.
1: Sooo this is my favourite ESC song ever :) I do think it's not the most accessible song and was VERY pleasantly surprised when she won. It more disappoints me when people point to the political nature of the song as a reason to hate it- imo, eurovision, music, and art are all inherently political in some way. And to label a song about her family history as too political as though its propaganda or the like just feels in bad taste. I'm glad it's gotten a lot of recognition regardless of the controversies, either way.
I am working on my 2008 video for some fresh n exciting content but it's a little difficult because there's quite a few NQs I don't think I've heard before that I need to form an opinion on! But it'll be coming eventually :) In the mean time, thank you again for your comments ❤️❤️❤️
1. Couldn't agree more - it's literally just wailing noise to me and if we were to vote based on political sob stories winers would be so different each year lol
I love your taste
Thank you so much!!
Fun fact: If I were sorry is still played a ton on German radio haha
Ist auch nen guter Song

36: San Marino
His 2016 song is mid but he improved a LOT in 2019 so well down to Serhat.
35: Israel

34: Netherlands

10: Poland
juries did this one WRONG😭😭😭
9: Czechia
every part of me is a part of you oohhhwooooaaaaahhhh
8: Latvia

7: Lithuania
I liked this one a lot and he improved from 2012 (btw I’m Lithuanian)
6: Belarus
His voice sounds very unique to me idk why it’s just the naked wolf bit that messed him up BIG TIME.
5: Ukraine
Powerful message and a surprise winner
4: Russia
He was really good
3: Armenia
AHHH GOOSEBUMPS queen
2: Bulgaria
My number 1 and 2 switch like almost every day but today I’ll put Bulgaria 2, it’s a very good song.
1. Australia
I can’t decide if this or Bulgaria is better but I’ll tell you something. This was supposed to win but not a lot voted for this because of the “oh, Australia shouldn’t be in Eurovision” thing…
Ooh uh 2016, I've been liking it more. I literally quit watching Esc for like 3 years after finding out Estonia and Iceland didn't qualify and Romania was withdrawn lmao
My top 7:
7: Israel
6: Armenia
5: Iceland
4: Estonia
3: Ukraine
2: Croatia
1: Serbia (It *would've* been Romania but ya know)
I think this or 2015 is my top that aged the worst, haha, I have some questionable takes here.
I absolutely adored Sanja at the time, she was in my top 5 and definitely a song I would give a bump for the mems if i made this video again :)
Estonia had an amazing song but I must admit it was hard to want to vote for him when he did THAT, haha. I've watched the performance so many times I'm kind of accustomed to it but I'll never forget my first watch in the semi and being like "is he...... okay??"
Also Jamala stans rise up, her song is still my fav ever
Finally someone who is not overhyped by Russian entry. Now I feel such a relieve that I am not the only one not liking this performance haha.
Also I appreciate putting Iceland and Armenia so high. True masterpieces.
Thank you so much
Yeahhh, when I made this video I didn't realise people would leave such furious hate comments, but maybe that's a good thing because it made me honest 😂 I like him a lot... The song is okay... I really dislike the performance. Overall, a decent entry but not one of my favourites.
Armenia and Iceland are now my third and second place, actually 😊 Such amazing entries!!
Icebreaker became my winner for me, after 1944 and Sound of sielnce
Sergey Lazarev is a GOD!!!
Omg I showed my mom the top 10 of 2016 and she said Ukraine didn't deserve to win 😢, she also said she doesn't like like visionary dreams (Georgia 2007) 😢
She does love Eastern European Funk so she's not completely killable
BRUHHHH my mother absolutely loves Jamala 😭 some people will never understand
Joe ane jake problem was we dont want them has the next jedward.
The problem with Joe and Jake the song was uninspired, and we didnt want a new jedward or One direction

You habe to admit that the Song from Switzerland is good, but only the staging destroyed everything...
I find it very bland, maybe I would've liked it by a different artist/with different staging, but as it stands, it is the performance I enjoyed the least by far. Probably the least bad last place I've allocated on this channel so far, though!
eurovision gal did you listened to the studio version? This is great but I think she can‘t bring it live...
@@magician7773 still pretty average to me but i see why it's well liked by some :)
I think this song is meh, but still ok but the stage is maybe the worst from all songs since 1956

I like that you're honest but I think this Jamala was not at all deserving of this victory, Russia should've gotten it in my opinion but there's no changing things now. Still happy you liked Midnight Gold and Heartbeat though :)
Down to personal taste alone, I was really happy to see Jamala win. If Sergey had won, I'd say he deserved it too because I try and stay supportive of winners, but I have to admit the song/performance just doesn't work for me personally nor is it my idea of a strong winner. But I understand why people really like it.
Midnight Gold especially is super underrated by the fanbase. 🤠
eurovision gal Midnight Gold is Gold, as the title
Ahaha " Australia is not a song to win" NOT EVEN UKRANIA SO.
Worst top
K thx have a good day 😊
@@eurovisiongal7007 you're the nicest person omg, I would've had a breakdown
