[@KasumiRINA]

2010 was a mess, that's when russian puppets won elections and all country got into protests as the new government was EXTREMELY nepotist, but back in 2009 when the guy nobody knows or listens to was selected, there was backlash because political connections shouldn't be the deciding factor. Later changes were due to backlash to singers fudging the votes or visiting russia after 2014... I am proud of who we sent to represent in last few years, Alina Pash has to be the worst rapper I heard, and Maruv is full-on russia cheerleader now, like supports the war and wishes us all to be dead.

This can't be correct unless the French broadcaster just has its own weird rules or the EBU changed the rules later. Plenty of Eurovision entries were originally pitched to different broadcaster and got rejected by them before ending up with their respective broadcasters SVT rejected both "Wolves of the Sea" and "In a Moment Like This" and they would go on to compete at the contest for Latvia in 2008 and Denmark in 2010.

As a Hungarian, I just can recommend you Tompos Kátya - Magányos Csónak, which is a hit song 13 years later too. And as we have one of most visible corrupt government, we held our national selection in the last 2 years just for our entertainment, where the winners didn't have a chance to go to Eurovision. The winners were in 2020 Rácz Gergő & Orosvai Reni - Mostantól, which broke every single record record in my country, and this year Kaukázus - Egyetlen szó won.

Also Italy 2014: The winning song of Sanremo was "Controvento" by 'Arisa', but Rai decided to chose internally, so Rai decided to send 'Emma' with "La mia città"

[@Preeesco]

I don't think it should be considered. Sanremo is not meant to be a Eurovision selection, and especially in 2014 it wasn't yet established that the winner of Sanremo would go to ESC, as far as I know.

[@lamusicachenonce]

Emma and La mia città have been selected before Sanremo 2014 was held.

[@Samah_Morph_exe]

@@Preeesco I know it's not a national selection for Eurovision (I'm Italian). Rai decided in 2011 to select an artist from Sanremo with an internal jury, but in the end they decided to send the winner of that year, Raphael Gualazzi with "Madness of love". In 2012 Rai instead decided not to send the winner of Sanremo to Eurovision but internally chose Nina Zilli, who was competing in Sanremo in 2012 but did not win (that year Emma won with "Non è l'inferno"). In 2013 Rai decided to send the winner of Sanremo. And again in 2014 Rai decided to choose the song internally (that year Emma was not in competition) so Rai decided to send a song that had nothing to do with Sanremo. So if Rai had wanted to do things done in the right way, it would have had to send at least any singer from Sanremo 2014 to Eurovision but they didn't.

[@Samah_Morph_exe]

@@lamusicachenonce Ho cercato e non trovo da nessuna parte il fatto che Emma con 'La mia città' fosse stata scelta prima del Festival, credo che sia un errore anche perché di solito, Sanremo prima faceva passare Sanremo poi pensava all'Eurovision quindi quasi sicuramente (come scritto su Internet) la Rai dopo Sanremo decise di scegliere internamente il cantate scegliendo di mandare Emma e non Arisa vincitrice del Festival

1988 Cyprus :song was played prior, 1992 Switzerland song participated first in the Swissgerman broadcaster but wasn’t selected to compete, then they presented it to the Swissfrench and won therefore was disqualified. Austria 1990, the song participated in the German selection from 1988.

Wrong about Nina Zilli. She was selected to represent Italy, but she has never won the Sanremo festival. ("Winning Sanremo " means winning the category Big, not the newcomers section.) The year Nina was sent to Eurovision, Emma Marrone won Sanremo. She represented Italy in 2014 instead. Thanks for the video. Very interesting! 🙂

i agree, according to the same standards used for Belarus' song this year, 1944 shouldn't have been able to participate. The only true difference between the two songs (except for the fact that Ya Nauchu Tebya is ugly as some rotten roadkill) that justified this double standard is that 1944 was useful as pro-NATO propaganda, while the other one was the exact opposite

Blows my mind how many countries didn't perform because they sent songs that had already been performed. Like, it's a clear rule and so many countries decided to break it. Didn't they know they were breaking rules or what

[@Shellydaliie]

This is actually quite fascinating to watch. Some of the early 2010s songs that had to be changed make so much more sense to me know as I only saw them for the first time in the semis or final and I thought they weren't good and questioned why they were sent to Eurovision. 😂

Actually, you forgot one more entry, Denmark 1962. Apparently, Gitten Hænning was supposed to participate in Dansk Melodi Gran Prix that year with "Jeg snakker med mig selv," but was disqualified right before the show, because the composer of the entry was heard whistling the song in a restroom at DR studios. It was the bookies favorite to win DMGP that year and represent the country, and would have done better than what they sent. It's totally crazy!

[@Ivar68N]

Great video! One error: Norway 1968 was not disqualified. The composer Kari Diesen withdrew the entry before the accusations of plagiarism had been dealt with by NRK. She later regretted her decision.

[@peopipeo]

From where I read it said it was DQ, thank you for clarifying:)

[@ioannistheringer]

Am i the only that loves the 1982 Greece's song? I think if they didnt release is as an album it would have won for sure without being illegal(as the rules of EBU say obviously)

Love this video, I've always had a soft spot for Per Sempre over her official entry. I remember Hungary 2009 so well, Katya was actually the second choice after they had withdraw the first entry they submitted Márk Zentai - If You Wanna Party because it was a cover of the Swedish Big Brother theme song 😂😂

Fyra Bugg och En Coca Cola was renamed so it could be played. The song stayed the same just changed Coca Cola to Rocka Rolla. So I would argue that it is pretty much the same song that was in ESC.

Update for 2022: Ukraine: Supposed to be represented by Alina Pash and her song "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors", but it was revealed that she forged travel documents, so the broadcaster selected the second place of the national final.

Just a notice, actual winner of Serbia & Montenegro was Flamingosi - Ludi Letnji Ples which was proven later. Also, in 2011 Georgia had "a situation" where they at first wanted to replace the performer but their broadcaster forcefully replaced the singer of Eldrine, Tamar Vadachkoria, with Sopho Toroshelidze and kept the song but they rearranged it to sound a bit different from the original one. And in 2009, audience in Serbia chose OT Band - Blagoslov Za Kraj but jury fixed the results for Marko Kon for some unknown reason.
