      Mistress Gineva Well, there are some really good songs each year, that's why I still watch it. But I agree, too much politics and cultural standard are affecting it. That's why for instance the Russian song didn't win this year, because boo they hate the gays ... which isn't even remotely true.

    A bit of a presentist bias? How could they miss one of the most popular and memorable songs in Eurovision history, Domenico Modgno's Nel "blu depinto blu", better know as "Volare", from 1958? According to Wikipedia:
    "It spent five non-consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 in August and September 1958 and was Billboard's number-one single for the year. Modugno's recording subsequently became the first Grammy winner for Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the 1st Annual Grammy Awards in 1958. The song was later translated into several languages and it was recorded by a wide range of performers. "

    This is not your average complaint. These are legitimate concerns with this list.
    1. An objective f**k-up that nobody can defend. For "Fångad av en Stormvind" as your 'honorable mention', you're not even playing the actual song, but the postcard greeting preceding it. HUGE ERROR.
    2. Johnny Logan as merely an honorable mention? The man won Eurovision thrice (though only as a composer on the third) and out of those songs, his arguably more successful song was "Hold Me Now".
    3. "Rise Like a Phoenix" being on this list is honestly shameful. Dont get me wrong, it is fantastic. But lets also be honest here, the song didn't win that year. Conchita Wurst did. We voted for her majestic beard, wonderful attitude and political message. Not for her song. It is just another ballad.
    4. Jedward as an 'honorable mention'? "Lipstick" finished 8th, what the actual f**k?! You pick it over (for example) 97's "Love Shine Like A Light" which was the only song to receive 200+ points until 2004?
    5. I agree. "Diva" was a controversial choice. 'Controversial' as in why would you include it, considering it received no international fame beyond Eurovision and was forgotten pretty quickly?
    I'm trying to stay objective in my rant here. Your list is otherwise great, but you honestly made some serious mistakes. I hope to see a revised version soon.
    I'm only saying this because I love you, WatchMojo, and want to see you improve. :)

      Carolus Rex I agree with most of the things you said, but I do disagree with you on Conchita Wurst. At least in my opinion, I think her song was downright beautiful. Yes, in a way it is "just another ballad" but I think the overall message and performance of said ballad was so strong and touching, it has definitely become one of my favourite Eurovision songs ever. When I watch Eurovision, and listen to the music, I also judge it by the performance. And the performance gives me chills everytime. Just my opinion. :)

    • @diva42me
      @diva42me 9 років тому

      +Carolus Rex I agree with you on some but beg to differ on others.
      1- Diva was among the most successful ESC songs. The song even chartered in the US unlike Only Teardrops which you had in your list as well as J'aime La Vie, Satellite and Fairytale. Whether it was Dana International or Diva that won the competition, it is still one of the most memorable years in Eurovision media coverage.
      2- if Celine Dion wasn't the singer that she is today, Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi wouldn't have been even mentioned.
      3- Save Your Kisses for me is still one of the most successful commercial Eurovision song. The numbers speak for themselves and the song went to become an international hit.
      4- Wild Dances wasn't a commercial success in 2004. Ruslana herself admitted that the song is all about the performance. Don't forget, Ruslana herself became famous world wide due to her involvement in the Ukrainian Revolution in 2005 much more than her winning.
      5- I definitely agree with you on Conchita but I also think the performance was outstanding! It definitely added to the votes the fact of the beard but also don't forget the conservative countries/judges that voted for Conchita.
      Euphoria is without a single doubt, the most successful ESC song in this century. wayyy beyond the others.
