The LOSERS Of Eurovision 2024... | My Ranking

[@unknownredditor]

The quality of the NQ songs this year is just something else. Might be my favorite batch of NQs ever.

[@richmlvcable]

I don't think I've ever heard a heterosexual man speak about Eurovision with such passion.. Great vids! 🎉

[@AdamMartyn]

Thank you!

[@JamieJooESC]

I'm Hetro too lol

[@ArrowsM]

Yeah... We exist but we're not too many people

[@sunamphino1174]

then you didn't see me after the ESC Final lol

[@saskiamckenna2925]

It’s crazy to me that last year Belgium was being called a non qualifier and ended up top 10 and the very next year Mustii was a contender to win and ended up not even being a borderline qualifier

[@thesnesgeek]

The live performance sucked, bland and boring. The music video kicked ass.

[@saskiamckenna2925]

@@thesnesgeek it's such a shame the live fell flat, I was really hoping that Mustii's experience in the drag community would beat the bad belgian staging allegations but I guess not

[@TaleOfTheToaster]

I’m also a lover of the Azerbaijan song, that and TiTAN are my top two here! But as for the song you heard FAHREE perform at Eurovision, it’s a folk song called Bəri Bax and of course you can’t exactly enter with a cover, but you CAN watch their studio version on the Eurovision KZbin so definitely give that a watch!

The funny thing is that for a while Iceland was one of the favorites to win the contest. Before the artists and even the song were reveled by RÚV (Iceland's public broadcaster) the national final was still not held. I think Iceland at one point was 3rd in the bookmakers' odds, because heading into the national final it was believed that Bashar Murad (a Palestenian singer and songwriter) was going to win the Söngvakeppnin 2024 and given that Iceland was one of the most outspoken nations against the participation of Israel, it could be assumed that by having a Palestinian representative Iceland will counter Israel and Eden Golan. Murad's song - Wild West, got more votes in both the jury vote and public vote in the first round of the final (to filter out the finalists from 5 to just 2) and 4 of the 7 jurors gave him the highest score. But when it came to the final round Hera won 69:50 which allowed he to win overall by less than 3000 votes. After Murad was NOT Iceland's choice (rumours swirled that Israel might have been involved) Iceland's stock tanked hard.

As a Dane I will say don't be suprised about not seing any eurovision-themed events while staying in Copenhagen - Eurovision is NOT a popular "thing" here and is not supported by the national music industry either which is why our national competition is bland and forgetable. Not even our participating broadcasting station (DR) gives a shit promoting it. I remember a few years ago Wiwibloggs posted a video with Deban walking around in Copenhagen showing people an image of Emelie de Forest - none of the locals he met knew who she was which says a lot.

[@AdamMartyn]

Wow... that has really surprised me! What was it like in 2014 when you guys were the host nation?

[@harrietamidala1691]

And with denmark failing to qualify for the fourth time in a row, you’re now the only currently active country that hasn’t qualified in the 2020s. I really hope you can turn things around in the future.

[@poertjt2]

@@harrietamidala1691 It's completely fair for us not to qualify with the bland songs we've send the past years. I honestly don't have faith in DR anymore who seem to already clinging on to old habits regarding the show next year - in my opinion they should completely skip the DMGP-format and maybe even chose internally and get international songswriters onboard.

[@repairsnstuff]

hey I was there too. great show, and great live festival in the park on the saturday.

[@thesnesgeek]

Czechia was my suprise this year, so cool and I wish Aiko the best of luck. My opinion but how can you say Czechia’s performance was okay? The song was extended and i think we have seen the first flashlight-break.

[@AlexTSP_]

My favourite the whole year, I’m still devastated she didn’t qualify😔😔

[@laust1231]

I think Czechia was my biggest one, I didn't expect them to make it to the final, but they were overall my #8 for this year

[@RebeccaPhythian]

I was full on loving Azerbijan in the Eurovision village! So grateful for this experience with you 🎉❤

[@Nostalgic80s-nd3qb]

Well, that was entertaining. I’m just wondering which location will be chosen for next year’s Eurovision. Great ranking in my opinion. (A bit off topic, the amount of times that Luxembourg have won and held Eurovision there is a bit astonishing.)

[@AdamMartyn]

They've sent some incredible stuff over the years! Apres Toi is one of my all time favourite ESC songs 🇱🇺

[@Nostalgic80s-nd3qb]

@AdamMartyn Well said. Those guys know how to make some quality songs.

[@Snodmystaahh]

Oh my gawd you go got got me on loooooooop

[@Snodmystaahh]

Pedestal was one of my faves of this year

[@koriolakorni5041]

22:15 same for me! Totally, watching it on television I didn't voted for it, but now I'm listening to it.

[@ZironixNO]

I made a playlist with my 2 favourites from each country throughout history (1 more upbeat and 1 more slow song) and I ended up choosing both of Azerbaijan and Australias entries this year for this list. Just love that both countries brought something that was uniquely national for their country. Both Australia and Azerbaijan have been pretty generic (despite often catchy and powerful) in Eurovision so far, so I am gutted that they didnt qualify this year.... i would have swapped Luxembourg, Israel and Latvia as well, as well as Finland, with with Azerbaijan, Australia, Czech Republic and San Marino (their staging was absolutely amazing).

[@thesnesgeek]

UPDATE!!! Czechia has announced participation for next year.

[@lee8kinders]

I still don't understand why Moldova never made the final. That's still my favourite song from all of the ESC entries this year.

[@RobTheGreenEngine]

Good to know I'm not the only one who really wanted Albania and Azerbaijan to qualify.

[@Flying_Ninja]

yea my aunt and uncle and cousins have been living in denmark for about 2 1/2 years and they’ve never heard of eurovision and i heard about it before them as an american through youtube maybe since copenhagen wasn’t decorated eurovision isn’t such a big deal in denmark unless they’re hosting it idk

[@Ivory-_-fox]

Your last is my first 😍😍

[@jeppeaksrensen8316]

As a dane, DEEPLY offended that you put Denmark below Iceland... I'm still subscribing though

[@AdamMartyn]

Happy to have you here! The two nations flip flopped for me but I've listened to Iceland more since the Contest, sorry 😭

[@leylayetmez]

Bari Bakh is national pop song of Azerbaijan. We cant send it because its anonymously composer and we dont know who wrote that song❤❤

[@lrios310]

22:00 what’s the song

[@haydenacott7962]

I loved Azerbaijan and Czechia.

[@adrianespinel7758]

My ranking of the losers (my opinion): 11th: Iceland, nice song, but sounded too much like something I would hear on the radio and compared to the rest of the competition, not very memoriable or stood out 10th: Azerbaijan, the vocals were excellent, but everything else was just "meh" to me 9th: Albania, why did they have to remake it? They just turned it into something generic and forgettable 8th: Moldova, another "meh" song, Barbu tried though. 7th: Malta, another "meh" song, but with dancing, which does bump it up on entertainment value 6th: Czechia, I liked the song, it was okay, wish it did better though. 5th: Poland, the song was okay, the chess theming was good, but I got nothing else much to say. 4th: Belgium, great song, ruined by some baffling staging. 3rd: Denmark, a great song I felt should have done better, but the staging felt lackluster. 2nd: Australia, I adore this song, I wish it could have made it further. 1st: San Marino, I just love the whole package, the song, the pink/black goth staging, it was fun. Another song I wished made it further.

[@fm95master]

Czechia should had definately advances to the grand final instead of austria, Austria had weak lyrics, weak vocals and mediocre staging. Czechia had good and meaningful lyrics, good vocals and one of the best stagings in the competition. Australia should had also advanced in my opinion. They only missed out by 5-6 points unfortunately.

[@Hsjdyshsish]

I think ITV1 has new idents but I’m not sure.

[@annhenriques3520]

Interesting video. I mostly don’t agree with your rankings, but I appreciate and understand your explanation for your choices. I always have songs that NQ, but this year there were six! The only song I’m upset didn’t make it was Czechia, because that is a banger! That could easily be a hit on the Alternative Rock charts in the U.S. I also like the studio version of the songs from Belgium, Moldova, Poland, Azerbaijan and San Marino, but the live performances and/or staging ruined their chances.

[@arnas6931]

Absolutely agree with Azerbaijan, it deserved to qualify

[@cassandramcbride7007]

Azerbaijan and Moldova are the ones i wanted them in the final. But sadly their staging feel empty and incomplete. They had some good ideas but execution was somehow not well succesfull

[@angelatlantis1522]

Huge turnoffs for me are - undressed performers (Malta, San Marino) - bad vocal performances (Poland, Denmark, Belgium) - bland songs (Iceland, Malta, Albania, Moldova) If an entry checks multiple or all points then it is out...

[@rogerdarthwell5393]

Adam, I know it seems weird that I comment under this video given that I am completely not interested in Eurovision whatsoever, but I saw the thumbnail you have used for this video and your face is completely red and it looks like that you are in pain! Please tell me that you are fine!

[@AdamMartyn]

I'm all good!

[@rogerdarthwell5393]

@@AdamMartyn Thank goodness! Thank you Adam and BTW you should make your next AMTV News video about the BBC News at One moving to Salford from next Monday (although I'd suggest recording it after you watched the first edition from Salford though, so that you can also do some sort of ''review'' of it as well)

[@Island_Eater]

I almost clicked off when the words "San Ri Ma No" Jesus😢

[@ziemniakmaster9520]

San marino last? The staging was amazing and their charisma should have got them throught

[@AdamMartyn]

Just my taste, its not my kind of song! As I said though, fully appreciate the talent and artistry!

[@nick3805]

I can not agree at all with Malta. That Semi was really incredibly weak. It started off great with Loop - it isn't reinventing the Wheel - but is a solid Dance Track with a really confident Delivery on Stage and good Vocals - it really only went downhill from there.

[@BridgLondon]

Malta was pretty grim. A dull song which we’ve hear so many times before.

[@RealJoBoGamer]

Honestly, last year was better lol
