Biggest crime ever in Eurovision.

[@sandrogigi5666]

Fun fact: Everyone says semi final 1 2021 was way stronger then semi final 2. But the average placing of the countries that qualified to the final are higher from semi final 2 then 1.

[@tzoreehandler9163]

I realized it a long time ago. 7 songs from Semi final 2 finished in the left side of the scoreboard (Switzerland 🇨🇭, Iceland 🇮🇸, Finland 🇫🇮, Greece 🇬🇷, Bulgaria 🇧🇬, Portugal 🇵🇹 and Moldova 🇲🇩) and only 4 from Semi final 1 (Ukraine 🇺🇦, Malta 🇲🇹, Lithuania 🇱🇹 and Russia 🇷🇺).

[@butterylobsterrolls]

In semi 2 there were not a lot of real competition. It was clear, which contries are gonna qualify. But the semi 1 had a big amount of great songs (much bigger than just ten) and nobody knew for sure who is going to be left out. Of course semi 1 were way more stressful (and disappointing in the end fore some)

[@Gumboliniz]

@@butterylobsterrolls we can base on the quality and how many countries in either the first or the second semifinal finish on the left side of the score board. Here's my opinion about which semifinal is stronger than the other (since 2008 to this year): 2009 2010 2011 2012 2019: the 2nd one 2008 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 and 2021: the 1st one

[@butterylobsterrolls]

@@Gumboliniz this method is does not really say it all, because the semifinal consists not only of qualifying acts, you have to take a look at NQ's performans quality too

[@NSq12]

esc 19 had similar situation when 1,3,4,5,6,7,8 places were from semi final 2 and the best place for semi final 1 was 9th by Australia.

Malta always being extremely UNDERRATED by the televoters

I actually think that Sergey getting 3rd place twice is pretty impressive, though I know that he probably aimed at becoming second Dima - I think the contest got much more competitive since the 2000s

[@sannev8407]

I don't think Malta receiving only 47p was a crime tho.. It wasn't that impressive on stage (except Destiny herself of course). It was more a jury friendly song, All of my love would have finished higher, it has more appeal.. It was much liked but more in the fandom than with the wider audience

[@mangomochi9847]

I personally don't even find Sergey's entries that spectacular, there are better entries of other artists. But the biggest crime imo is still Finland not qualifying in 2017😭😭

Leaving aside perfomances, Sergey sings professionally and doesn't offtune. I don't stan him, but recognise his talent and hard work.

[@tzoreehandler9163]

Agree about: - Andorra 🇦🇩 never qualifying (in 2007 they definitely deserved to qualify) - Horehronie 🇸🇰 not qualifying - I'm Yours 🇦🇹 and Black Smoke 🇩🇪 getting 0 points - neighbours/diaspora voting - Montaigne 🇦🇺 not coming to Rotterdam and Daði & Gagnamagnið 🇮🇸 not performing live - Portugal 🇵🇹 waiting 53 years for a victory, or even a top 5 - Germany 🇩🇪, United Kingdom 🇬🇧 and Spain 🇪🇸 (and France 🇫🇷, but not this year) being underrated (but sometimes they deserve those low places. I hope they will take Eurovision more seriously in the future) - Switzerland 🇨🇭, Greece 🇬🇷 and Latvia 🇱🇻 not qualifying in 2018 (Croatia didn't deserve to qualify from the strongest semi final ever, and I hate Malta that year) - Australia 🇦🇺 being extremely overrated by the jury in 2017 (c'mon, how can this be better than Blanche, for example? The jury placed Australia 4th and Belgium 9th, but overall they switched the places - Belgium 4th and Australia 9th) - Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 never singing in Azeri (maybe it'll finally happen in 2022? I guess we'll have a lot of native languages next year, following the success of the native languages this year) - Sergey Lazarev 🇷🇺 being always 3rd (but I mean the opposite of what you mean - he was overrated. In both 2016 and 2019 there were way better songs, that deserved to finish above him) - Finland 🇫🇮 being the most underrated Nordic country - Slovenia 🇸🇮 and Croatia 🇭🇷 being the most underrated Balkan countries (I would add North Macedonia 🇲🇰 too) - Latvia 🇱🇻 being the most underrated Baltic country France 🇫🇷 losing the tie break in 1991 (btw - if France won in 1991 instead of Sweden, then France had 6 wins, and Sweden only 5... The opposite of how it really is) - The 4 zeros in 2021 🇬🇧🇩🇪🇪🇸🇳🇱 (I don't think that anyone deserved 0 points this year)

Oh my and non qualification of Croatia, Romania and Australia 🤦🏼‍♂️ like any other year they could’ve been contenders for the win

[@chingiztulegenov]

And by the way Finland being most underrated Nordic country lays in the fact they’re not Scandinavian. I’m partially Finnish as per my DNA test, so this fact makes me sad, when I’m fact they’re more successful in managing life

[@elaychscrazyworld4173]

Crimes in ESC 2021: *Armenia not participating at all. Worse still, the date of the final was on Athena Manoukian’s birthday. *The 4x televoting nul points and my fave song from my country in a while being its worst faring entry ever (even more so than Jemini) at a time when it has suffered enough through incompetent politicians. Tbf, the staging was overdone and James looked clunky on stage, problems similar to Spain in 2019, another robbed bop. All 4 nul points in televoting were actually quite good. *Latvia being last in heat 2 for a song substantially superior to its predecessor. *San Marino and Flo not being National best *Malta getting fewer televotes than Moldova, Sweden and Serbia.

[@NSq12]

* Bulgaria getting only 30 points

[@elaychscrazyworld4173]

@@NSq12 they deserved more. There was me thinking Victoria would be the best faring first refusal (if not Dadi) but it was actually Gjon that would win that honour. Still 30-odd was way too low for her even though she wasn’t my style.

Denmark not qualifying

[@elaychscrazyworld4173]

@@kuutio3730 whilst it was a bit stereotypical, they performed it well, and qualification would have been deserved, more so than Moldova, also the only nation not to give it a televote.

[@sonesonh396]

Agreed. I would add - Turkey being EXTREMELY underrated until 1997, and Greece and Cyprus also being very underrated until 1997. Central Europe also has to work harder for televotes (Hungary, Poland, Czech Rep, Slovakia, Austria, and even Slovenia [which overlaps southern and central])... Especially because Central Europe doesn't seem to have as bad of a neighbor-voting trend.

[@Hugo-gc8jm]

that's true except for Poland who has a strong diaspora

[@Kyarago]

I don't actually think people liked Malta's song, or maybe it was one of those that part of people enjoyed, but it was noone's favourite so nobody voted for it. Anyways, I hated it, but my taste is different as I'm a huge fan of classic rock, so it's hard to tell

[@diekommentarekommentiererin]

Poor James making history like that. Sad.

Disko not making it into the Grand final in 2022 broke my heart. They should’ve gotten in second at least but we all knew Ukraine was going to based on not only Stefania being a great song but also because of the ongoing war which gave sympathy to Ukraine.

@@meowpoosaymeow eh I still think that the most underrated one is 2014

I quite liked "Mata Hari", and was glad it qualified to the ESC 2021 Grand Final. It's an eastern style song, which includes eastern style instruments, and the line “Yalan da men, yanan da men, yaman da men” (I like the way that adds to the eastern style of the song). In other words, it has everything one can expect in an Azerbajani song. What more could one ask for from Azerbaijan?

[@MustiiForTheWin]

@@TumbleTower I also think it should've qualified. But there's more ethnic songs from Azerbai̇jan. 2008 was a hard rock song included the famous Azerbaijani Muğam. 2009 was a traditional dance. 2012 was a ballad including a famous Muğam singer as backing vocalist. 2014 was another ethnic ballad. 2019 also has parts of Muğam.

Random country's being "underrated" is a crime but not Italy not winning in 2015

The reason France got 2nd in 1991 was because of their tie breaker rule which goes off of the number of 12 points then 10 points if they have equal amount of 12 then so on and so forth

[@mysticgirl916]

Both had 4 sets of 12 points, but Sweden had 5 sets of 10s to France's 2 so that's why Sweden won in 1991. However, had today's tiebreaker rule been used that year, France would have won because 1 more country voted for it over Sweden (18 countries voted for France while 17 voted for Sweden)

Lithuania has had good songs at times. Montenegro arguably had their best this year and didn't qualify.

[@fidan-aliazerli]

And also San Marino being the last place in 2008

Feel like, in addition of the geopolitics surrounding you-know-who, some of the Arab countries got scared off by Saïd flopping in 1980

[@monkington9615]

You are either Ukraine, who qualifies EVERY TIME, or Andorra who doesn't qualify, EVERY TIME.

4 countries with NUL points in televote in Grand Final 2021 - Insanity. They got more votes in Semi Final to qualify for Grand Final

[@manujelly3156]

Then we can translate Sergey Lazarev into Italian and we will get Toto Cutugno

[@sabinaaaa185]

Also add that almost no balkan countryes (exept Romania and Greece) not qualifing to the final in 2013.

[@CookyMonzta]

3:55 That changes this year, although not in full. You'll hear a bit of Azerbaijani this May, along with their cultural sound. 👍🇦🇿

[@tomeolse]

Horehronie was one of the best songs in 2010. With Cyprus 2022 that`s the biggest crime that didn`t qualify for the final in my opinion. But the biggest crime ever is that ESC 2020 never was held. So many good songs that year, and it would be fantastic to see them all on the scene.

[@zsoltkadar4607]

AGREEE WITH MARUV

[@l1nros263]

0:57 There was other story with ukraine that year. She wasnt disqualificated. She didnt agree with the rules that deligation of ukraine gived to MARUV

[@lovetico4ever]

yeah macedonia not qualifying in 2017 i was so pissed off back then. i found jana way more better than ogene and i am from the netherlands so i am not suppose to say that 🙈🤣🤣

[@polinabernard7579]

Marocco - it's not a crime, it's just their choice, they'd rather not participate in ESC for political reasons, than forget politics and join this biggest musical event and show Europe their music and culture. Or maybe you meant it's their crime against ESC and public - then yes.

[@ollektriinu]

I think it would be weird, if Marocco would be on Eurovision, considering, it is country , that is located in Africa :D

[@polinabernard7579]

@@ollektriinu really not, they are EBU member, so they can participate, they did once, but they don't anymore because of Israel. Australia takes part (only since 2015, but still), but they are not in Europe either.

[@ollektriinu]

@@polinabernard7579 , actually I think, Australia dont belong to Eurovision too :D I mean, for me, it has always been EUROPE SONG CONTEST. Thats why the EUROvison :) Otherwise it should be "Worldvision" or something :) And I think everyone thought that Australia participacion was one-time thing , for the Eurovision anniversary ( 2015) :)

[@polinabernard7579]

@@ollektriinu well, ESC rules say otherwise and any country - EBU member has right to participate. For example USA may be there next year already.

[@ollektriinu]

@@polinabernard7579 , wow, really? :O Well, I don`t mind listening more songs , but for the concept it just feels weird to me :)

[@catradora.]

do you seriously think russians DQ in 2017 is a crime.... listen her singing live, it's horrible

[@x_n_x_gal9161]

Azerbaijan AND SWEDEN never sending a song in their language.

[@gbriv]

4:23 yeah,i think so

[@jake5817]

I agree with all of these opinions especially Morocco having participated only once Slovakia not qualifying in 2010 disqualification of Ukraine in 2019 Poland not winning in 1994 Malta being super underrated in 2021 not qualifying countries in 2016, 2017, and 2021 Croatia and Slovenia being underrated 4 zero points in 2021 😢

[@matthewmoser5863]

"Underrated Big Five Countries" and then lists the remaining three of the five that never do well lol

[@escpikayohann4760]

Idc about uk & Germany but i found Spain extremely underrated
