I laughed really hard when the video ended right at the number 1 spot, because we don't need any explanation why it's the worst ESC winner of all time.
unpopulat opinion but i don't mind azerbaijan winning in 2011 not bcos of the song per se but because 2011 was so shit that there were barely any songs that outright deserved to win. my winner that year was lena but even that's an 8/10 at best, everything was so... meh
Wow! It’s really interesting to hear your opinion! I personally love most of these songs, but I completely respect your opinion. You brought out some great points. Overall great video!!
@@flopjul4581 more 10s, they got the same 12 points. france would have won under today's system (ie country with most juries giving it at least 1 point wins). i think israel were actually in the lead for 95% of it and sweden were nowhere near for a while before they got back in it (i would watch the voting procedure but i can't bear myself to watch the shitshow of toto cutugno and gigliola cinquetti trying to host a show in a 3rd language and show zero knowledge of english or french). they went next to each other in the running order as well, which i founda kinda funny
I like the fact that you have something good to say about every song... and the fact that this was uploaded today and doesn't Include Salvador Sobral... Makes me like it even more... Kudos for not liking Dana as much as I do
I absolutely love Dana but her song isn’t THAT great. And yeah, the Salvador thing is overdone, I feel like most people who hate it just won’t sit through a slow song.
I agree with most of the choices except ding-a-dong. It was a world wide hit and it’s a decent song. EDIT: I thought that ding-a-dong was the last song on this list. So I didn’t watch the whole video at first but you can not put diva on this list Edit 2: I completely agree with you on no.1, it’s the worst song I have ever herd
Great opinion. But imo, they were trying really hard to be ABBA, who won the year prior. The happy music, the members looking almost identical, very similar clothes. It comes off as unoriginal to me.
One funny thing here is that you have successfully created a double paradigm. The first one is pretty obvious you say an opinion with a question mark, which may mean irony, may mean that it's a real question (not as likely though), but it can also and more likely mean that it's so obvious, as a da-question. On the second statement you may mean, that you can either agree with my opinion (first line), or that you agree that I'm thinking too much about it (second line). Due to your subscription: I go with Irony and first line. :)
Katrina & The Waves - Love shine a light is real winner, their song is so wonderful. I like also Dana Internetional 'Diva'. As for me the worst winner is Netta 2018 with stuped song 'Toy'
Toy is for me a bottom half song that was preferable over Cyprus Beyonce Wanna-be. My problem with Catrina is that I have such a hard time with lazy writing and two verses and choruses that are exactly to the notes the same is for me lazy writing. Best list: ua-cam.com/video/LaVC74NtHgA/v-deo.html ESC Channel: ua-cam.com/channels/riBIxZC8b0X9EWkA_sJoKQ.html
@@ebhae199 Lazy writing for Catrina's song? wtf.... ok. And what is Toy about then? Some deep meaningful lyrics right there, right? LOL, stop trying to be a music expert or smth, you dont understand music, you dont understand Eurovision. Ou and btw Cyprus wasnt a Beyonce wannabe just because she danced well and had good choreography.
Noooo. Yugoslavia from 1989 is great! You can't critisize one line from the song if you don't understand the rest of it. Anyways I don't agree with most of the list but I appreciate that you are trying to make points.
Best List: ua-cam.com/video/LaVC74NtHgA/v-deo.html ESC Channel: ua-cam.com/channels/riBIxZC8b0X9EWkA_sJoKQ.html I would say your opinion is more uncommon than mine, maybe just because you understand the language.
Supreme Lord of the Dark World Never mind the chorus (one line of the song) , even if you don't understand a single word the song itself is just incredibly repetitive and bland. There's no great hook, no change of key, no memorable lines, no finesse, nothing. It's not bad, it's not good. It's just so middle-of-the-road bland. It's ironic Yugoslavia won with one of their worst entries because they had several decent songs and a few good ones over the years. "You can't critisize one line from the song if you don't understand the rest of it." Yes, you can because it's judged by the music first and foremost. And listen, I very much doubt the rest of the lyrics were in the Bob Dylan class of lyrics. And while commercial success perhaps isn't the most fair way to judge the quality of music one can easily make the argument that the Eurovision mostly appeals to a "commercial crowd" (and has received both a lot of deserved and undeserved flak for it). Unlike most other of these winners listed here Yugoslavia's 1989 ESC winner was a commercial flop everywhere else but in Yugoslavia. What I'm trying to say is that it didn't chart anywhere in Europe. And from what I've read the band didn't last very long in Yugoslavia either and split up after two years. Johnny Logan's 1987 winner was number 1 in two countries and number 2 in four another countries. It was a top-10 hit in 11 European countries. Celine Dion charted in 6 countries. Italy's 1990 winner charted in 8 countries. I never liked the 1991 Swedish winner either but at least it charted in 6 European countries. Linda Martin's 1992 winner for Ireland charted in 8 countries. I can go on. Before you judge me I'll say that I consider Estonia's 2001 winner the worst, closely followed by Latvia's 2002 winner. They nearly killed the ESC altogether. Azerbaizdjan's 2011 winner should never have won but it wasn't bad. Never liked Russia's 2008 winner even though Dima Bilan has a lot of talent and charisma as an artist.
First I have to make one thing clear. The only song I really hate on this list is No: 1, all the other songs I can easily respect that other people likes. But I like when songs have a big variation and has a clear structure with different verses. Therefore I can not ignore a song that does the exact same thing three times with just one small stick between the 2nd and third. That is just to much laziness for me. Ps: Om du är från Norge kanske du också vill testa mina politik videor på svenska och om du tycker om dom har du ingen anledning till att inte prenumerera.
EBHAE Ок, i'm sorry but, Diva is a really great song. I respect your opinion, but atleast other people Love it, and you ruined their contration on the song.
Maybe I was a bit to hard on it. But I think that the best society is the one were we are honest and shares ideas. And it´s my "job" to try to convince you with the best and funniest arguments I can found. (This is more important when I talks about politics but I think the principles should be the same.)
10. Really like it 9. I agree, généric. France should have won, especially since they had the same number of votes 8. I did not realize the mic problem, this is the only Israël winner I appreciate tbf 7. Agree on it being overrated 6. Same as above this is plain. 5. I could be the only one who love it then 😅 I find it very uplifting 4. UK should have won 3. Agree 2. Still better than Estonia the year before 1. Haha love how you cut without argumentation
I really think your argumentation for these picks is incredibly flawed. This is most definitely your personal opinion, so please put that in the title instead of just proclaiming the these are 'the worst winners', because that's just ignorant; if they were bad, they wouldn't have won. Most of these song were HUGE hits in Europe at the time.
I like all of those songs but in particular Johny Logan's "what's another year" is one of my favorites of all time, definitely has a special place in my heart. (Not from the UK, so I didn't even know the song that well growing up, I just discovered it a few years ago and it made it into my favorites playlist)
worst songs 1. Tattoo -Loreen nonsingle 12 points from the jury, public votes wanted Finland, also Jamala in 2016: Jury winner Australia, public votes winner Russia
I'm from the UK love shine a light was our last ever win and I personally love it but I doubt we will ever win again heck I was shocked that we managed to come second this year but tbh he was the best artist we've had represent us since Katrina and the Waves
You have completely different taste, but I respect it. But I am surprised as well. Ireland 1993 is the best Irish winner for me. I agree with Sweden 1991 and Yugoslavia 1989, but the worst winners for me are: Ireland 1992, Ireland 1996 and above all Spain 1968!
#10 Ireland 1993 = YES I cannot remember this song. Not unpleasant but very old style. Not really a fan of it. #9 Sweden 1991 = YES awful song. France had a beautiful song, they got the same result, the same score of 12 points but eventually the worst one won #8 Israel 1978 = NOOO are you kidding? This song was amazing. Don’t forget that in the seventies and eighties, all songs had the same style. Didn’t age well but it was perfect for the last 70s. Sound quality was bad because has been filmed 40 years ago. If the singing is unclear for you it’s because they sang in Hebrew, it’s not “mumble”, is a language. #7 Ireland 1980 = YES I agree, very boring song, Johnny Logan won again some years later with a much better song #6 United Kingdom 1997 = NOOOO I TOTALLY DISAGREE with your choice. One of the most iconic winners in Eurovision’s history. She repeats herself and the choir is always similar? Welcome to Eurovision! Nobody cares about the lyrics, 90% are simple and cheesy. #5 Yugoslavia 1989 = YES, YES you are right, probably one the worsted winners in Eurovision’s history. #4 The Netherlands 1975 = NO, NO I TOTALLY DISAGREE! This song is a legend in Eurovision’s History. Don’t forget it was in the middle of the seventies, this was Eurovision’s style. Same feeling as Israel ranked #8. #3 Israel 1998 = NO, NO, WHY? Don’t touch Dana International. You probably ignore that the most passionate Eurovision’s fans are gays. Dana is not a woman, she was the first transgender winning the competition. #2 Latvia 2002= YES not my favorite #1 Azerbaijan 2011 = YES not my favorite either
How about: Sweden 1984 Sweden 1999 Denmark 2000 Estonia 2001 Turkey 2003 Russia 2008 Denmark 2013 Sweden 2015 Ukraine 2016 Portugal 2017 ....And most recently Israël 2018 Switzerland 2024
I would say im an esc super fan but im probably the only one that has running scared as their favouirte eurovision song of all time. To me its literal perfection i just dont understand the hate :(
You call Johnny Logans song old school cus yeah it was the fucking 80s barely even the 80s at that point, and Niamh Kavanagh doesnt wail she sings honestly shes one of the best 90s winners
My taste : 10 : Good but not a winning song 09 : Good as well but France instead for the victory 08. Outdated but good in 1978 07. I'm not fond of him either 06. You're right in your comments but very good tune, deserved victory 05. Don't like it, how could it win... I'm still wondering 04. Same as 08. 03. I like the song 02. Same as 05. 01. Not a winner at all
Sounds like you mostly agree with me, especially when the only song I truly hate is number one. Be sure to check out my Best ESC winners as well. Link in the description.
10. Not really bad, but this is not catchy 9: this is pretty meh, just meh 8: i know hebrew, and this is the "B" lang. Ababnibi obhben abobtbabh= ani oheb otah and this is i love you 7: this is good! And i even think this is better than johnny logan 1987 win 6: this is alright 5: this is in my top 20 winners 4: this is one of the best winners ever! How dare you? 3: yes, this is the worst israel winner, but this not so bad 2: ok i agree 2011: decent
No that's not the audio "of those years". That's the audio of that specific year, Israel was worse than most and I can't look away for how awful it sounds. The audio in the 50s sounded better.
I agree with most of these...Runnning Scared (political voting?) as well as Katrina and the Waves ("one little clusterfuck" LOL!) needed to be called out. Disagree about Carola and Ding-A-Dong, your video actually introduced me to the latter, and hey, I like those harmonies! Not like Katrina at all IMO.
Mon Mothma I think the point in Azerbaijian 2011 is that there was no clear favorite and the points were very evenly spread out between all the countries. I mean, if you compare its pointscore to some of the other winners, it's extremely low (it could easily have been on 4th place or even lower in some other competition)...
Tilen Burnik You may well be correct. As far as I can remember, there were no runner-ups that many people thought should have won instead, which probably supports what you say. Just an all around weak year then...
I really disagree about Katrina and the Waves. I might not be a hardcore Eurovision fan but I was born in 1997 and I thought the song was amazing. I found the clusterfuck remark inappropriate and not funny at all. Some of the other comments are just petty especially Niamh Kavanagh being screamy even though she isn't , choosing to wail, singing outside of the music and rambling a lot of things. Another example was the chorus of Riva's winning song being criticised for being lazy for being improvised and unfinished. But the biggest insult was comparing Ding-a-Dong to Love Shine a Light and criticising the fake happiness and being childish which I completely disagree. Again I might not have been born back in 1975 but it was popular. Not to mention there might have been a sound problem with Israel's winning song from 1978 but they're definitely not mumbling. What doesn't make sense is that he praised the verse for being emotional but he criticised the chorus being bad. The video in general is one big clusterfuck IMO.
That song was great and it became a HUGE hit in Europe and launched Lena's career. In addition to that, Satelite changed the trajectory of ESC winners from ethnic to contemporary.
My top 10 worst winners: 1. Israel 2018 - "Toy" 2. Azerbaijan 2011 - "Running scared" 3. Yugoslavia 1989 - "Rock me" 4. Austria 1966 - "Merci chérie" 5. UK 1969 - "Boom Bang-a-bang" 6. Estonia 2001 - "Common everybody" 7. Ukrania 2004 - "wild dances" 8. Italy 2021 - "Zitti e buoni" 9. Ireland 1970 - "All kinds of everything" 10. Ireland 1980 - "What's another year?" My top 10 best winners: 1. UK 1997 - "Love shine a light" 2. Italy 1964 - "Non ho l'età" 3. Sweden 1974 - "Waterloo" 4. Luxembourg 1965 - "Poupée de cire, pupée de son" 5. Luxembourg 1983 - "Si la vie est cadeu" 6. Austria 2014 - "Rise like a phoenix" 7. Serbia 2007 - "Molitva" 8. Turkey 2003 - "Everyway that I can" 9. Israel 1998 - "Diva" 10. Sweden 2012 - "Euphoria"
It´s on the bottom half, but even if I think it´s kind of boring, it´s also kind of beatuful and have the nice plus of being in own language, in our era. Also I wanted to upload just after the competition and was prepared for Sweden but not Portugal :). Check out my best list, if you like praise more than shitting.
No you are not crazy. You are very skilled. I have a horror picture their to make people unconsciously hate the song even more. I don´t know if it´s legal and I certainly don´t know if it´s work. But respect to you to be the first one to see it (and comment about it)
In your eyes? Far superior to Irelands 92', 94' and 96' winners, so that is an odd choice. Carola? Johnny Logan? Teach-In? Even Azerbadjan '11 does not belong on this list. Try Estonia 01', Sweden 99', Ireland 94', Germany 10', Italy 90' instead.
The worst winners for me are Estonia 2001, Russia 2008, Germany 2010 and, of course, Azerbaijan 2011. Latvia 2002 was a bop and also one of the most game changing performances if you look at the 2003-2005 winners.
Mmm quite good choices! I m very close to agree with you. If you replaced Israel 1998 with Estonia 2001, would be almost perfect. Although since you are a Swede, I have to say that I 'd easily see your "Take me to your heaven" and "Digiloo digilei" here instead of "dig a dong" and "what's an other year". Also Ireland's "why me" should be here as it's by far their worst winner. To complete detailed perfection I might also replace Israel 1978 with Israel 1979 or Russia 2008. But generally your only real "mistakes" are [1] to include "Diva" which is indeed a bit irratating but also a catchy banger and a fabulous hisyorical moment and [2] to exclude Estonia's supercrap wich is probably the worst of the worst. I think it would be my number 1.
How can you criticise Ireland 1993 for being screams and then not have turkey 2003 on here at all? If you want to talk about out of pitch and screaming to hit notes out of her vocal range then that’s the one…….
Riva’s lyrics maybe stupid but first the music is AMAZING. And second, the fact the Yugoslavia won just “seconds” before the bloody war is so, idk, but when I hear this happy song with the knowledge of why happens just 2 years later is such an emotional roller coaster. That true for the arguably better song the Yugoslavia sent next year, it adds such an emotional layer to the silly song. And maybe I shouldn’t judge the song by things that happen later but I can’t. Also we have to remember this was the first Eurovision after the fall of The Berlin Wall. So I guess a fun and optimistic song was just what European needed at that point. And for that Rock me baby was perfect. It’s was the perfect for the time. Also it’s so poetic that it’s from a communist country (although not Stalinist) so it really is the perfect song for the time. Edit: About Dive I guess you aren’t queer. If so you can’t understand the importance of this song. Also yesterday I watched esc 2011 out of boredom. And and still, 12 years later I shouted at the TV When Azerbaijan won. It’s so STUPID. Lena should have when for the second time!!!!
1989 Eurovision was not after the fall of Berlin wall. Diva was a fun, and there were little bit camp, song and it was perfect be a winner of Eurovision. Today ESC is so serious and boring.
Salvador, just look at my answer on "Affe plays" Jamala is one of the songs I like to listen to the least but I decided to be immune from this list, because it´s a impressive way of singing that I´ve never heard before (even if it´s repeating as hell) and therefor I can not fairly criticize it without feeling like a evil person. Also I like the English verses. If you like my kinds of lists check out my list of the best winners, and a new list will be coming up soon.
Agree with most of them. Although there are others even worse IMO. The unmelodic fashion/light shows crap from the last decade for example. And Finland 2006. 😢
10. No way. It's a wonderful song, my all-time ESC top 10. 9. I am not fond of it, either. I prefer 'Främling' by far. 8. Not a masterpiece, but this was the mainstream kind of music at that time. 7. I am allergic to it and to his 1987 winning song. His whining makes me sick. 6. Not the best song I've ever heard, not the worst one, either. 5. I remember my disappointment when it won. 4. Quite OK for me. 3. I can live without it. 2. It's forgettable, but not actually bad. 1. The Serbian song should have won that year. But if you are against hetero normative messages, you should like your No. 3 :).
Thank you for a valued comment. I kind of regret my comment on Diva because I didn´t really reflect about that she/he? (Wich one is it) were Trans. (My mom told me so, but she said it so fast that I didn´t thought about what that mean) And I can respect that she takes so much space to spread the great message even though I in general hates self focused people. The number 10 is like I said my least worst since 1970 and I have always thought about it as a (in general) song that is on the bottom half of ESC winners. Maybe I´m wrong.
Tastes are not wrong or right. They are different, that's all. And there is absolutely nothing wrong or right about being gay, straight, trans or whatever. That's the way you were born. Dana's being transsexual does not make her songs better or worse just like my favourite songs are not better or worse just because they are performed by gay or straight people. You sing with your vocal chords, not with your sex. My remark about Dana was just a joke. By the way, I just have realized that only 4 items in my all-time ESC top 10 are winners, the highest placed one being ranked 3rd. Just another proof that not all winning songs are the most impressive ones.
What I regret was not my placement of Diva, what I regret was my comment. "Please use it to sing instead of being sexy..." and "Because I dislike when people are just self focused." I should at least have framed it different. But my placement would have bin the same.
Personally, I do not see anything improper in your comment. And I dislike people singing about 'me, myself and I' all the time, either. This is, among other things, why the Italian song was my favourite ESC entry this year; it is about our society, not about how the lyricist feels.
i screamed no louder with each entry. i mean some i agreed with espcially no. 1 (Germany was standing RIgHt ThErE) but i love lativia 2002 and netherlands 1975
Fine I know you dislike 2002 Latvia but idk what’s your problem with her, yeah the song isn’t the best lyrics aren’t the best but still it’s interasting
Latvia in 2002 should be number one on this list, and you seem to have forgotten the awful entry by Russia's Dima Bilan in 2008. He could be number two on the list. I applaud you for bringing Azebaijan in 2011 up there, but I might put that in third place. An awful trio, these winners.
I have to completely disagree with you… when judging a song on if its a good winner or not you have to consider when it won and its competitors, not if it would do well now or how repetitive it is…
I have some funny news, basically for number 9 the voting system skipped the part where you count how many countries voted for u so nowadays France would have won lol
Yes, not only would France have won by today's standards, it should have. But this was before the first countries used televoting, I think that the public would have pushed Feance ahead, if some countries would have tested televote already.
A copy passed answer. Jamala is one of the songs I like to listen to the least but I decided to be immune from this list, because it´s a impressive way of singing that I´ve never heard before (even if it´s repeating as hell) and therefor I can not fairly criticize it without feeling like a evil person. Also I like the English verses. Hope you check out my new list of ESC songs of the 50s and 60s and subscribe to either me or my ESC channel if you like these kinds of commented lists.

No Estonia 2001?? That was easily the most shocking win in Eurovision history. Norway's 1995 winner was incredibly short and bland too - as if it was composed to be an intro theme to a tv series. And Ireland's 1996 winner really was a "singing fairy" too many. Also, there's no way the 1975 winner (Netherland's - and a deserving winner) is *worse* than Yugoslavia's 1989 bland bagatelle. What's the 2000th century?? We're just in the 21st today and the 20th century was the 1900's.
Johnny Logan song is overrated, because the year 1980 got another two strong candidates who are Adja Pekkan and Samira Bensaid whose song were underrated
Finally someone that agree with NR:3, that is by my comments probably the most liked. Check out my other three ESC lists with the exact same format and if you like them all, please Subscribe to me or my separate ESC channel were I only upload my ESC videos.
Azerbaiijan shall be the worst ESC winner all time? That´s nonsens. The song is perhaps not a bull´s eyes but it´s OK. Other will be more worst. Anyway: The ESC 2011 was one of the best ESC ever!
People become happy when you say good things about their country, their songs, their singers, their victories of their favorite winner(s) or entrees. Everybody is so different. And it's possible you really loved a song in 1972, but today you don't like it anymore. It's sometimes dangerous to say what you 'hate'. It can make people sad or angry. Maybe I'm the only one in the world who really doesn't like 'Poupée de cire, poupée de son (Lux 65) and Satellite (D 10). More people understand me when I say I don't like 'Rock me' (YU 89), 'Hard rock hallelujah' (FIN 06) and 'Running scared' (AZ 11). But I love from the same countries: 'Blackbird' (FIN 17), 'Où sont-elles passées' (LUX 64), 'Im Wartesaal zum grossen Glück' (D 56), 'Dan Ljiubezni' (YU 75) and 'Drip drop' (AZ 09).
you think you're the only one who hates satellite?? that song has a literal hate club with at least 1 million members (of which i'm defo not a member of, it's my 8th favourite song of all time lol, but it has a LOT of haters)
NOT DANA INTERNATIONAL IN THE TOP 3 I agree it's not a GREAT song in the truest sense, but it has so many camp/drag qualities. It's a transgender singer, singing a disco song, about powerful women in history, in the ESC. You can't get more gay and camp than that. And it's so catchy. I love "Diva" just for that.
10. i love this to bits, an actually very good irish win for once 9. please don't use the "what if it competed today" rhetoric. there's no point - different eras, different songs. this stands out in its own, vibrant way and i love it (prefer framling but both songs are my winners both years) 8. i think hallelujah is more overrrated than this but i don't really like both 7. this is such a snoozefest idk how it won. hold me now is WAY clear 6. british bias maybe but this is a classic and a masterpiece. simplicity done to perfection 5. ... i love it?? 4. yeah no this is rapidly growing off me 3. fantastic song, what can i say. i love disco 2. no-one can deny that this only won because of the staging and the dance routine. which is fair enough, 2002 was a shit year, but the song itself is shockingly bad. my 2nd worst winner of all time behind russia 08 1. i love how you just ended the video and didn't need to explain anything lol. personally 2011 was so awful that there weren't any songs that deserved to win necessarily, so i don't mind it that much
P'tit Merdeux oh come on, she did send a greater song the next year which should have won instead and quite frankly, Satellite is far from being the worst
OK: The reasons why Portugal is not on the list, in no particular order: 1: It´s re-listenable. It´s gets better with some listenings. 2: Laziness. I have worked for weeks to get this list and the best ESC songs done, to publish it right after the final. I have a backup if Sweden had won but not for Portugal (which leads me to the next point.) 3: Don´t know what to say. I can´t find anything to really criticize. It would basically be another No: 8 and one of that is enough. 4: The guts to not sing in English. It hasn't been any fully non English song since 2007. 5: The man seems to be disabled: I may be wrong about that but the way he move his hands seems uncontrolled and I don´t want to include these kinds of people on this list. 6: The performance is way better than in the Portuguese competition. I have it very low on my ESC 2017 list but liked it more now.
Portugal is one of the best songs that ever won the festival. Classic and timeless. I agree with the 1 and 2 options, really terrible options to win the festival
Hi, heres a channel were I will only upload my (EBHAE)s Eurovision videos. Slightly shorter so you don't get any commercials (or if it happened that money goes to me :) ). If it goes well for this channel I will probably start uploading more ESC content in general. Hope this support my main channel more than hurt it.
I laughed really hard when the video ended right at the number 1 spot, because we don't need any explanation why it's the worst ESC winner of all time.
Well, it’s not the worst winner, because the worst winner is 2011.
why i wanted to hear his views on it he should re-do it
Tbh agreed that it’s the worst one, when I listened to all winners in Eurovision I always skipped this song
unpopulat opinion but i don't mind azerbaijan winning in 2011 not bcos of the song per se but because 2011 was so shit that there were barely any songs that outright deserved to win. my winner that year was lena but even that's an 8/10 at best, everything was so... meh
@@Taylor-oq3gf no the worst one is 2012 and 2023
Didn't know what was the matter with the first one. She sang beautifully. It was like listening to some Italian singer.
Right? A nice song and a nice voice.
It is literally my favorite of all seventy one winners!
tbh 1989 is one of my favorite entry's maybe even my favorite winner
Really ☺?
Rock me was garbage. UK were robbed.
I love that song tho but i love synth in general
Thank you, I am not alone. But I think the fact Yugoslavia won before its collapse plays an important part in it
Wow! It’s really interesting to hear your opinion! I personally love most of these songs, but I completely respect your opinion. You brought out some great points. Overall great video!!
Judging fake, childlessly is not great points.
Especially with Fangad av en stormvind because he didnt even notice(i guess) that it was a tie and won because she got more 12 points i believe
And the idiot can't spell Energy.
@@flopjul4581 more 10s, they got the same 12 points. france would have won under today's system (ie country with most juries giving it at least 1 point wins). i think israel were actually in the lead for 95% of it and sweden were nowhere near for a while before they got back in it (i would watch the voting procedure but i can't bear myself to watch the shitshow of toto cutugno and gigliola cinquetti trying to host a show in a 3rd language and show zero knowledge of english or french). they went next to each other in the running order as well, which i founda kinda funny
Wow some of the greatest winners of all time in there!!!!
my heart!!
I'm from the Netherlands!!
I like the fact that you have something good to say about every song... and the fact that this was uploaded today and doesn't Include Salvador Sobral... Makes me like it even more...
Kudos for not liking Dana as much as I do
haha true
Drama All Around I mean, most of Ireland's winner were mediocre and shitty, Calm down it's my opinion...
I absolutely love Dana but her song isn’t THAT great. And yeah, the Salvador thing is overdone, I feel like most people who hate it just won’t sit through a slow song.
I agree with most of the choices except ding-a-dong. It was a world wide hit and it’s a decent song.
EDIT: I thought that ding-a-dong was the last song on this list. So I didn’t watch the whole video at first but you can not put diva on this list
Edit 2: I completely agree with you on no.1, it’s the worst song I have ever herd
Great opinion.
But imo, they were trying really hard to be ABBA, who won the year prior. The happy music, the members looking almost identical, very similar clothes.
It comes off as unoriginal to me.
@@um773 yeah for sure, I’ve always felt that way about it but it’s such a guilty pleasure of mine
Niamh Kavanagh was easily the best of winner of the 90s
This and Sonya was a head to head
love shine a light, insieme, diva and fangad beat it imo but it's a great song.
So true, I mean she is somewhere in my top five of all time (winners)
It's my second after Diva 😂
LOL she is lovely and a good performer but her 2010 song was MUCH better. And best of 1990s??? Seriously??? What about Nocturne?? Or the voice?
Ding-a-Dong is the best Eurovision song ever?
Structure: Verse-Chorus Same Verse-(Same) Chorus Bridge Same Verse-Chorus.
Guess I'm thinking too much when I'm listen to music.
EBHAE I think so too
One funny thing here is that you have successfully created a double paradigm.
The first one is pretty obvious you say an opinion with a question mark, which may mean irony, may mean that it's a real question (not as likely though), but it can also and more likely mean that it's so obvious, as a da-question.
On the second statement you may mean, that you can either agree with my opinion (first line), or that you agree that I'm thinking too much about it (second line).
Due to your subscription: I go with Irony and first line. :)
@@ebhae199 that doesn't necessarily make a song terrible, that is just your opinion.
@@ebhae199 You definitely don't know the meaning or purpose behind the lyrics.
Katrina & The Waves - Love shine a light is real winner, their song is so wonderful.
I like also Dana Internetional 'Diva'.
As for me the worst winner is Netta 2018 with stuped song 'Toy'
Toy is for me a bottom half song that was preferable over Cyprus Beyonce Wanna-be. My problem with Catrina is that I have such a hard time with lazy writing and two verses and choruses that are exactly to the notes the same is for me lazy writing.
Best list: ua-cam.com/video/LaVC74NtHgA/v-deo.html
ESC Channel: ua-cam.com/channels/riBIxZC8b0X9EWkA_sJoKQ.html
Turkey 1997 was much more good than Uk
@@ebhae199 Lazy writing for Catrina's song? wtf.... ok. And what is Toy about then? Some deep meaningful lyrics right there, right? LOL, stop trying to be a music expert or smth, you dont understand music, you dont understand Eurovision. Ou and btw Cyprus wasnt a Beyonce wannabe just because she danced well and had good choreography.
I liked Netta very much instead
@@anilhandro and UK 1998 was better than Israel
No "Heroes"? It's the worst winner of all-time... I just hate that song and all the fakery in the performance, yikes!
Its very bad. A lousy song.
your comments are so on point!
Noooo. Yugoslavia from 1989 is great! You can't critisize one line from the song if you don't understand the rest of it. Anyways I don't agree with most of the list but I appreciate that you are trying to make points.

ESC Channel: ua-cam.com/channels/riBIxZC8b0X9EWkA_sJoKQ.html
I would say your opinion is more uncommon than mine, maybe just because you understand the language.
Supreme Lord of the Dark World Never mind the chorus (one line of the song) , even if you don't understand a single word the song itself is just incredibly repetitive and bland. There's no great hook, no change of key, no memorable lines, no finesse, nothing. It's not bad, it's not good. It's just so middle-of-the-road bland. It's ironic Yugoslavia won with one of their worst entries because they had several decent songs and a few good ones over the years.
"You can't critisize one line from the song if you don't understand the rest of it." Yes, you can because it's judged by the music first and foremost. And listen, I very much doubt the rest of the lyrics were in the Bob Dylan class of lyrics.
And while commercial success perhaps isn't the most fair way to judge the quality of music one can easily make the argument that the Eurovision mostly appeals to a "commercial crowd" (and has received both a lot of deserved and undeserved flak for it). Unlike most other of these winners listed here Yugoslavia's 1989 ESC winner was a commercial flop everywhere else but in Yugoslavia. What I'm trying to say is that it didn't chart anywhere in Europe. And from what I've read the band didn't last very long in Yugoslavia either and split up after two years.
Johnny Logan's 1987 winner was number 1 in two countries and number 2 in four another countries. It was a top-10 hit in 11 European countries. Celine Dion charted in 6 countries. Italy's 1990 winner charted in 8 countries. I never liked the 1991 Swedish winner either but at least it charted in 6 European countries. Linda Martin's 1992 winner for Ireland charted in 8 countries. I can go on.
Before you judge me I'll say that I consider Estonia's 2001 winner the worst, closely followed by Latvia's 2002 winner. They nearly killed the ESC altogether. Azerbaizdjan's 2011 winner should never have won but it wasn't bad. Never liked Russia's 2008 winner even though Dima Bilan has a lot of talent and charisma as an artist.
@@ebhae199 I really like this song as well haha, didnt know it was uncommon because I am not in the Eurovision game
5:20 why? thats one of my fovourites
Ps: dere gjorde det bra i år Sverige, En hilsen fra norge
First I have to make one thing clear. The only song I really hate on this list is No: 1, all the other songs I can easily respect that other people likes.
But I like when songs have a big variation and has a clear structure with different verses. Therefore I can not ignore a song that does the exact same thing three times with just one small stick between the 2nd and third. That is just to much laziness for me.
Ps: Om du är från Norge kanske du också vill testa mina politik videor på svenska och om du tycker om dom har du ingen anledning till att inte prenumerera.
EBHAE Ок, i'm sorry but, Diva is a really great song. I respect your opinion, but atleast other people Love it, and you ruined their contration on the song.
Maybe I was a bit to hard on it. But I think that the best society is the one were we are honest and shares ideas. And it´s my "job" to try to convince you with the best and funniest arguments I can found.
(This is more important when I talks about politics but I think the principles should be the same.)
10. Really like it
9. I agree, généric. France should have won, especially since they had the same number of votes
8. I did not realize the mic problem, this is the only Israël winner I appreciate tbf
7. Agree on it being overrated
6. Same as above this is plain.
5. I could be the only one who love it then 😅 I find it very uplifting
4. UK should have won
3. Agree
2. Still better than Estonia the year before
1. Haha love how you cut without argumentation
I really think your argumentation for these picks is incredibly flawed. This is most definitely your personal opinion, so please put that in the title instead of just proclaiming the these are 'the worst winners', because that's just ignorant; if they were bad, they wouldn't have won. Most of these song were HUGE hits in Europe at the time.
Yeah, lots of well-known songs
So he must have the same opinion as most people?
You can’t deny that 2011 is bad though haha
@@logi-a it was horrendous yeah
Oi Katrina and the waves is a masterpeice
I like all of those songs but in particular Johny Logan's "what's another year" is one of my favorites of all time, definitely has a special place in my heart.
(Not from the UK, so I didn't even know the song that well growing up, I just discovered it a few years ago and it made it into my favorites playlist)
I hate Azerbeijan winning song and I hate Dima Bilans winning
france should've won in 1991.
Warum ist das Video am Ende abgeschnitten?
I completely agree with your Top 3!
i only agreed to 1 song in that list lol and uk entry should have been up there with the best
worst songs 1. Tattoo -Loreen nonsingle 12 points from the jury, public votes wanted Finland, also Jamala in 2016: Jury winner Australia, public votes winner Russia
I'm from the UK love shine a light was our last ever win and I personally love it but I doubt we will ever win again heck I was shocked that we managed to come second this year but tbh he was the best artist we've had represent us since Katrina and the Waves
why did you cut out number 1 after 3 seconds wanted to hear your views on it
You have completely different taste, but I respect it. But I am surprised as well. Ireland 1993 is the best Irish winner for me. I agree with Sweden 1991 and Yugoslavia 1989, but the worst winners for me are: Ireland 1992, Ireland 1996 and above all Spain 1968!
I agree with everything except 1978 & 1993 of which I would replace with 2018 and 1999 or 2008
100% i'd stick 2018 and 2008 in there, 3rd and 1st respectively in the worst winner list for me. i'd probably stick linda martin in there as well
@@pn2360noo linda martin deserved it, but i did wish that Terminal 3 won
I agree with you on lavita
2:07 He is singing in Hebrew... it's not supposed to be clear to you. Hebrew not similliar at all to any european language (SRY for bad spelling)
Fine, but the microphone still sucks.
That's not his fault
Therefore I wrote "But France, you could have done a better job" :)
But I still have to judge, how the song sounded on stage.
No way bro put israel 1978 entry in their.
1993 is literally my favorite of all 71 winners. 1975 is 6th and 1980 is 9th. Why haven't you included 1983, 1979 and 2006 on this list??
Yesss 1993 is amazing... the no that was said when this video opened on Niamh Kavanagh. 😂
#10 Ireland 1993 = YES I cannot remember this song. Not unpleasant but very old style. Not really a fan of it.
#9 Sweden 1991 = YES awful song. France had a beautiful song, they got the same result, the same score of 12 points but eventually the worst one won
#8 Israel 1978 = NOOO are you kidding? This song was amazing. Don’t forget that in the seventies and eighties, all songs had the same style. Didn’t age well but it was perfect for the last 70s. Sound quality was bad because has been filmed 40 years ago. If the singing is unclear for you it’s because they sang in Hebrew, it’s not “mumble”, is a language.
#7 Ireland 1980 = YES I agree, very boring song, Johnny Logan won again some years later with a much better song
#6 United Kingdom 1997 = NOOOO I TOTALLY DISAGREE with your choice. One of the most iconic winners in Eurovision’s history. She repeats herself and the choir is always similar? Welcome to Eurovision! Nobody cares about the lyrics, 90% are simple and cheesy.
#5 Yugoslavia 1989 = YES, YES you are right, probably one the worsted winners in Eurovision’s history.
#4 The Netherlands 1975 = NO, NO I TOTALLY DISAGREE! This song is a legend in Eurovision’s History. Don’t forget it was in the middle of the seventies, this was Eurovision’s style. Same feeling as Israel ranked #8.
#3 Israel 1998 = NO, NO, WHY? Don’t touch Dana International. You probably ignore that the most passionate Eurovision’s fans are gays. Dana is not a woman, she was the first transgender winning the competition.
#2 Latvia 2002= YES not my favorite
#1 Azerbaijan 2011 = YES not my favorite either
Well about Dana international mate, we judge the song, not whatever you identify as
"Don't touch Dana, because she's the first transgender winner" sounds ridiculous. Her song is rubbish.
I did not like Portugal 2017
How about:
Sweden 1984
Sweden 1999
Denmark 2000
Estonia 2001
Turkey 2003
Russia 2008
Denmark 2013
Sweden 2015
Ukraine 2016
Portugal 2017 ....And most recently
Israël 2018
Switzerland 2024
Stop cooking
Turkey, Denmark, and Sweden in 2015 are some of the best winners of the modern contest.
I would say im an esc super fan but im probably the only one that has running scared as their favouirte eurovision song of all time. To me its literal perfection i just dont understand the hate :(
the dislike for it. But in my case it's probably hate.
You call Johnny Logans song old school cus yeah it was the fucking 80s barely even the 80s at that point, and Niamh Kavanagh doesnt wail she sings honestly shes one of the best 90s winners
Yugoslavia won because the country almost ended
My taste :
10 : Good but not a winning song
09 : Good as well but France instead for the victory
08. Outdated but good in 1978
07. I'm not fond of him either
06. You're right in your comments but very good tune, deserved victory
05. Don't like it, how could it win... I'm still wondering
04. Same as 08.
03. I like the song
02. Same as 05.
01. Not a winner at all
Sounds like you mostly agree with me, especially when the only song I truly hate is number one.
Be sure to check out my Best ESC winners as well. Link in the description.
It doesn't matter whether one or two people dislike it.
"how could it win" it can bruh. Ur opinion is not important to Eurovision
@@tsarvic1918 I wrote it was just my taste ... My opinion matter or doesn't more than yours
10. Not really bad, but this is not catchy
9: this is pretty meh, just meh
8: i know hebrew, and this is the "B" lang. Ababnibi obhben abobtbabh= ani oheb otah and this is i love you
7: this is good! And i even think this is better than johnny logan 1987 win
6: this is alright
5: this is in my top 20 winners
4: this is one of the best winners ever! How dare you?
3: yes, this is the worst israel winner, but this not so bad
2: ok i agree
2011: decent
What’s wrong in diva and i wanna be
1975 is literally my 2nd fave winner in the esc history i'm
1:53 Thats the audio of those years.
2:08 just put translation instead of saying-Rsndom Noices.
you so wrong,Check yourself aiagn please thank you.
No that's not the audio "of those years". That's the audio of that specific year, Israel was worse than most and I can't look away for how awful it sounds. The audio in the 50s sounded better.
@@ebhae199 you cant say israel sucks
aay it to those who were responsble for the AUDIO and btw
its Super Great.
I agree with most of these...Runnning Scared (political voting?) as well as Katrina and the Waves ("one little clusterfuck" LOL!) needed to be called out.
Disagree about Carola and Ding-A-Dong, your video actually introduced me to the latter, and hey, I like those harmonies! Not like Katrina at all IMO.
Mon Mothma I think the point in Azerbaijian 2011 is that there was no clear favorite and the points were very evenly spread out between all the countries. I mean, if you compare its pointscore to some of the other winners, it's extremely low (it could easily have been on 4th place or even lower in some other competition)...
Tilen Burnik You may well be correct. As far as I can remember, there were no runner-ups that many people thought should have won instead, which probably supports what you say. Just an all around weak year then...
Azerbaijan bought votes in 2011
I really disagree about Katrina and the Waves. I might not be a hardcore Eurovision fan but I was born in 1997 and I thought the song was amazing.
I found the clusterfuck remark inappropriate and not funny at all. Some of the other comments are just petty especially Niamh Kavanagh being screamy even though she isn't , choosing to wail, singing outside of the music and rambling a lot of things. Another example was the chorus of Riva's winning song being criticised for being lazy for being improvised and unfinished. But the biggest insult was comparing Ding-a-Dong to Love Shine a Light and criticising the fake happiness and being childish which I completely disagree. Again I might not have been born back in 1975 but it was popular. Not to mention there might have been a sound problem with Israel's winning song from 1978 but they're definitely not mumbling. What doesn't make sense is that he praised the verse for being emotional but he criticised the chorus being bad. The video in general is one big clusterfuck IMO.
And you left out that horrible 1979 Winning song?? This was the worst ever in my opinion.
Where is Portugal 2017?????
Lena 2010 ??
That song was great and it became a HUGE hit in Europe and launched Lena's career. In addition to that, Satelite changed the trajectory of ESC winners from ethnic to contemporary.
your saying the Irish Eurovision song was to old school that was the type of music back then.
No I'm saying that I have no dam clue why I dislike it.
My top 10 worst winners:
1. Israel 2018 - "Toy"
2. Azerbaijan 2011 - "Running scared"
3. Yugoslavia 1989 - "Rock me"
4. Austria 1966 - "Merci chérie"
5. UK 1969 - "Boom Bang-a-bang"
6. Estonia 2001 - "Common everybody"
7. Ukrania 2004 - "wild dances"
8. Italy 2021 - "Zitti e buoni"
9. Ireland 1970 - "All kinds of everything"
10. Ireland 1980 - "What's another year?"
My top 10 best winners:
1. UK 1997 - "Love shine a light"
2. Italy 1964 - "Non ho l'età"
3. Sweden 1974 - "Waterloo"
4. Luxembourg 1965 - "Poupée de cire, pupée de son"
5. Luxembourg 1983 - "Si la vie est cadeu"
6. Austria 2014 - "Rise like a phoenix"
7. Serbia 2007 - "Molitva"
8. Turkey 2003 - "Everyway that I can"
9. Israel 1998 - "Diva"
10. Sweden 2012 - "Euphoria"
Finally I saw a comment that hates Italy 2021 song
You got a problem mate

@@Steven-hq4mbhis opinions are different radically for the sake of being quirky and unique
Estonia 2001?
Latvian entry was good. Same with Netherlands and Israel (DI).
WHERE IS 2017 WINNER
It´s on the bottom half, but even if I think it´s kind of boring, it´s also kind of beatuful and have the nice plus of being in own language, in our era. Also I wanted to upload just after the competition and was prepared for Sweden but not Portugal :).
Check out my best list, if you like praise more than shitting.
In your eyes is my favorite winner! But I can understand why people don't like it
7:52 am i crazy or there is a strange photo??
No you are not crazy. You are very skilled. I have a horror picture their to make people unconsciously hate the song even more.
I don´t know if it´s legal and I certainly don´t know if it´s work.
But respect to you to be the first one to see it (and comment about it)
In your eyes? Far superior to Irelands 92', 94' and 96' winners, so that is an odd choice. Carola? Johnny Logan? Teach-In? Even Azerbadjan '11 does not belong on this list. Try Estonia 01', Sweden 99', Ireland 94', Germany 10', Italy 90' instead.
2010...
Finally that has the same opinion with me!
The worst winners for me are Estonia 2001, Russia 2008, Germany 2010 and, of course, Azerbaijan 2011. Latvia 2002 was a bop and also one of the most game changing performances if you look at the 2003-2005 winners.
I unironically like Russia 2008 and Estonia 2001. My favourite winner is in 2017 ofc ❤️❤️❤️
Can agree on Rock me, Viva la vida, Latvia 2002 and Running Scared as terrible winners.
Mmm quite good choices! I m very close to agree with you. If you replaced Israel 1998 with Estonia 2001, would be almost perfect.
Although since you are a Swede, I have to say that I 'd easily see your "Take me to your heaven" and "Digiloo digilei" here instead of "dig a dong" and "what's an other year". Also Ireland's "why me" should be here as it's by far their worst winner.
To complete detailed perfection I might also replace Israel 1978 with Israel 1979 or Russia 2008.
But generally your only real "mistakes" are [1] to include "Diva" which is indeed a bit irratating but also a catchy banger and a fabulous hisyorical moment and [2] to exclude Estonia's supercrap wich is probably the worst of the worst. I think it would be my number 1.
How can you criticise Ireland 1993 for being screams and then not have turkey 2003 on here at all? If you want to talk about out of pitch and screaming to hit notes out of her vocal range then that’s the one…….
Riva’s lyrics maybe stupid but first the music is AMAZING. And second, the fact the Yugoslavia won just “seconds” before the bloody war is so, idk, but when I hear this happy song with the knowledge of why happens just 2 years later is such an emotional roller coaster.
That true for the arguably better song the Yugoslavia sent next year, it adds such an emotional layer to the silly song. And maybe I shouldn’t judge the song by things that happen later but I can’t.
Also we have to remember this was the first Eurovision after the fall of The Berlin Wall. So I guess a fun and optimistic song was just what European needed at that point. And for that Rock me baby was perfect. It’s was the perfect for the time.
Also it’s so poetic that it’s from a communist country (although not Stalinist) so it really is the perfect song for the time.
Edit: About Dive I guess you aren’t queer. If so you can’t understand the importance of this song.
Also yesterday I watched esc 2011 out of boredom. And and still, 12 years later I shouted at the TV When Azerbaijan won. It’s so STUPID. Lena should have when for the second time!!!!
1989 Eurovision was not after the fall of Berlin wall. Diva was a fun, and there were little bit camp, song and it was perfect be a winner of Eurovision. Today ESC is so serious and boring.
I love opinions
where is Salvador?
where is Jamala?
Salvador, just look at my answer on "Affe plays"
Jamala is one of the songs I like to listen to the least but I decided to be immune from this list, because it´s a impressive way of singing that I´ve never heard before (even if it´s repeating as hell) and therefor I can not fairly criticize it without feeling like a evil person. Also I like the English verses.
If you like my kinds of lists check out my list of the best winners, and a new list will be coming up soon.
Where they belong. On the list of worthy winners.
Agree with most of them. Although there are others even worse IMO. The unmelodic fashion/light shows crap from the last decade for example. And Finland 2006. 😢
10. No way. It's a wonderful song, my all-time ESC top 10.
9. I am not fond of it, either. I prefer 'Främling' by far.
8. Not a masterpiece, but this was the mainstream kind of music at that time.
7. I am allergic to it and to his 1987 winning song. His whining makes me sick.
6. Not the best song I've ever heard, not the worst one, either.
5. I remember my disappointment when it won.
4. Quite OK for me.
3. I can live without it.
2. It's forgettable, but not actually bad.
1. The Serbian song should have won that year. But if you are against hetero normative messages, you should like your No. 3 :).
Thank you for a valued comment.
I kind of regret my comment on Diva because I didn´t really reflect about that she/he? (Wich one is it) were Trans. (My mom told me so, but she said it so fast that I didn´t thought about what that mean) And I can respect that she takes so much space to spread the great message even though I in general hates self focused people.
The number 10 is like I said my least worst since 1970 and I have always thought about it as a (in general) song that is on the bottom half of ESC winners. Maybe I´m wrong.
Tastes are not wrong or right. They are different, that's all. And there is absolutely nothing wrong or right about being gay, straight, trans or whatever. That's the way you were born. Dana's being transsexual does not make her songs better or worse just like my favourite songs are not better or worse just because they are performed by gay or straight people. You sing with your vocal chords, not with your sex. My remark about Dana was just a joke. By the way, I just have realized that only 4 items in my all-time ESC top 10 are winners, the highest placed one being ranked 3rd. Just another proof that not all winning songs are the most impressive ones.
What I regret was not my placement of Diva, what I regret was my comment. "Please use it to sing instead of being sexy..." and "Because I dislike when people are just self focused." I should at least have framed it different.
But my placement would have bin the same.
Personally, I do not see anything improper in your comment. And I dislike people singing about 'me, myself and I' all the time, either. This is, among other things, why the Italian song was my favourite ESC entry this year; it is about our society, not about how the lyricist feels.
i screamed no louder with each entry. i mean some i agreed with espcially no. 1 (Germany was standing RIgHt ThErE) but i love lativia 2002 and netherlands 1975
The Netherland - 1975 Ding a Dong. is very good song, not bad. English version is also very fantastic
Fine I know you dislike 2002 Latvia but idk what’s your problem with her, yeah the song isn’t the best lyrics aren’t the best but still it’s interasting
I love Yugoslavia but agree fully with all the others
Latvia in 2002 should be number one on this list, and you seem to have forgotten the awful entry by Russia's Dima Bilan in 2008. He could be number two on the list. I applaud you for bringing Azebaijan in 2011 up there, but I might put that in third place. An awful trio, these winners.
Johnny Logan's song reminds me a little of "Reflections of my life" by Marmalade.
Fair enough assessment. "Rock me Baby" must've been a really weak year
I have to completely disagree with you… when judging a song on if its a good winner or not you have to consider when it won and its competitors, not if it would do well now or how repetitive it is…
7:52 Scary pic i did 0.25 in Slowmotion
Spore Gamer oh shit the hands on the walll
I have some funny news, basically for number 9 the voting system skipped the part where you count how many countries voted for u so nowadays France would have won lol
Yes, not only would France have won by today's standards, it should have. But this was before the first countries used televoting, I think that the public would have pushed Feance ahead, if some countries would have tested televote already.
This was going pretty well I reckon until Diggyloo Diggy*******ley failed to materialise at number 1.
Ukraine 2016???

Heres the right one.
No Estonia 2001?? That was easily the most shocking win in Eurovision history. Norway's 1995 winner was incredibly short and bland too - as if it was composed to be an intro theme to a tv series. And Ireland's 1996 winner really was a "singing fairy" too many.
Also, there's no way the 1975 winner (Netherland's - and a deserving winner) is *worse* than Yugoslavia's 1989 bland bagatelle.
What's the 2000th century?? We're just in the 21st today and the 20th century was the 1900's.
Norway's 1995 winning song was a masterpiece wdym
Ummm...disagree. "In your eyes" and "Fångad av en stormvind" are one of my favs!!! I agree only on Latvia, 2002 and maybe The Netherlands, 1975.

Great job!
Greetings from Portugal
Johnny Logan song is overrated, because the year 1980 got another two strong candidates who are Adja Pekkan and Samira Bensaid whose song were underrated
Mine worst winners,toy,stefania,amar pelos dois,running scared,satellite,jamalas song
I agree with 3 and 1 so much!
Finally someone that agree with NR:3, that is by my comments probably the most liked.
Check out my other three ESC lists with the exact same format and if you like them all, please Subscribe to me or my separate ESC channel were I only upload my ESC videos.
1989 Uk should've won it, maybe it was a slow year, even the singer of live report was not happy
HELL NO, I DISAGREE WITH 1989.
Azerbaiijan shall be the worst ESC winner all time? That´s nonsens. The song is perhaps not a bull´s eyes but it´s OK. Other will be more worst. Anyway: The ESC 2011 was one of the best ESC ever!
As an Azerbaijani I agree and I won't forgive these who mock my country. Yes, 2011 is by far the best.
Well we all have our own opinions but personally i lived Ireland 1980 and 1993 and Israel 1978, plus ding a dong is a banger
People become happy when you say good things about their country, their songs, their singers, their victories of their favorite winner(s) or entrees.
Everybody is so different.
And it's possible you really loved a song in 1972, but today you don't like it anymore. It's sometimes dangerous to say what you 'hate'. It can make people sad or angry. Maybe I'm the only one in the world who really doesn't like 'Poupée de cire, poupée de son (Lux 65) and Satellite (D 10). More people understand me when I say I don't like 'Rock me' (YU 89), 'Hard rock hallelujah' (FIN 06) and 'Running scared' (AZ 11). But I love from the same countries: 'Blackbird' (FIN 17), 'Où sont-elles passées' (LUX 64), 'Im Wartesaal zum grossen Glück' (D 56), 'Dan Ljiubezni' (YU 75) and 'Drip drop' (AZ 09).
you think you're the only one who hates satellite?? that song has a literal hate club with at least 1 million members (of which i'm defo not a member of, it's my 8th favourite song of all time lol, but it has a LOT of haters)
Agree so much, 7th Wonder is waaay better than I wanna in my opinion, too...
Your just picking on the UK and Ireland ones
7 and 5 victories.
EBHAE Good point. I didn’t think of that.
i agree!!!!
Worst is 2016 Australia deserved the title
Omg noooo not In Your Eyes and Diva.
NOT DANA INTERNATIONAL IN THE TOP 3
I agree it's not a GREAT song in the truest sense, but it has so many camp/drag qualities. It's a transgender singer, singing a disco song, about powerful women in history, in the ESC. You can't get more gay and camp than that. And it's so catchy. I love "Diva" just for that.
10. i love this to bits, an actually very good irish win for once
9. please don't use the "what if it competed today" rhetoric. there's no point - different eras, different songs. this stands out in its own, vibrant way and i love it (prefer framling but both songs are my winners both years)
8. i think hallelujah is more overrrated than this but i don't really like both
7. this is such a snoozefest idk how it won. hold me now is WAY clear
6. british bias maybe but this is a classic and a masterpiece. simplicity done to perfection
5. ... i love it??
4. yeah no this is rapidly growing off me
3. fantastic song, what can i say. i love disco
2. no-one can deny that this only won because of the staging and the dance routine. which is fair enough, 2002 was a shit year, but the song itself is shockingly bad. my 2nd worst winner of all time behind russia 08
1. i love how you just ended the video and didn't need to explain anything lol. personally 2011 was so awful that there weren't any songs that deserved to win necessarily, so i don't mind it that much
You forgot one of the worst eurovision winners. Lena with Satellite...
P'tit Merdeux totally agree.
Agree. maNga - We Could Be The Same should have won that year.
The song wasn’t that bad, though. I don’t think it deserved to win, especially over Turkey, but I don’t think it was that bad either
👍
P'tit Merdeux oh come on, she did send a greater song the next year which should have won instead and quite frankly, Satellite is far from being the worst

YEEESSS!! AZERBAIJAN WORST!!! FINALLY SOMEONE AGREES WITH ME!!!
You've seen this list before but yes I do. Laughter.
If you've missed it, I also have a separate Eurovision channel.
EBHAE What’s the name of the other channel?
ZD SKILLZ: ESC Mixed.
Mate they deserved it earlier eurovision is pure politics
Portugal 2017?
OK: The reasons why Portugal is not on the list, in no particular order:
1: It´s re-listenable. It´s gets better with some listenings.
2: Laziness. I have worked for weeks to get this list and the best ESC songs done, to publish it right after the final. I have a backup if Sweden had won but not for Portugal (which leads me to the next point.)
3: Don´t know what to say. I can´t find anything to really criticize. It would basically be another No: 8 and one of that is enough.
4: The guts to not sing in English. It hasn't been any fully non English song since 2007.
5: The man seems to be disabled: I may be wrong about that but the way he move his hands seems uncontrolled and I don´t want to include these kinds of people on this list.
6: The performance is way better than in the Portuguese competition. I have it very low on my ESC 2017 list but liked it more now.
Portugal is one of the best songs that ever won the festival. Classic and timeless.
I agree with the 1 and 2 options, really terrible options to win the festival
Hi, heres a channel were I will only upload my (EBHAE)s Eurovision videos. Slightly shorter so you don't get any commercials (or if it happened that money goes to me :) ). If it goes well for this channel I will probably start uploading more ESC content in general.
Hope this support my main channel more than hurt it.
@@ebhae199 wow He wanted an answer and you Gave him whole list
