Tamo, ljubavi... old women baking bread! Ti ćeš zauvijek.... and a man in a hamster wheel! Serbia & Montenegro is gonna have one hilariously bloated average ranking once I finish my 2004 video 😂 Anyway, I really like this year, there's loads of good songs and no atrociously bad ones.

[@origo1165]

Is 2004 winner going to be Serbia and Montenegro? :D Then I can say we agree on yet another winner :D

[@esciveta5507]

2005 Serbia and Montenegro my alltime favorite ❤️❤️❤️

[@ESCStroopwafel]

This year was so polarizing. There were a lot of forgettable, bad ones, but also a ton of good ones. Hungary, Israel, Malta, Greece, Austria, Latvia, Romania, Slovenia and Switzerland were my faves

[@aliabbasov795]

Such a great list. In my opinion, 2005 is one of the best years of ESC. There are so many unforgettable songs this year but Cool Vibes is my favorite among all. Also, it is one of my all time favorites.

[@eurovisiongal7007]

It surprises me that such a strong year is wedged in between a bunch of questionable ones! Yes, lots of amazing songs here.

[@aliabbasov795]

I personally love 2006. I still listen to many songs from that year and Lordi is one of my favorite winners, maybe the most favorite one 😅 But I dislike most of the songs from 2004. I think it’s a questionable year too

passe partout pssst, don't say that loud or you'll receive zero points.

[@paulojrneto]

In 2004, you could let it slide because the semifinal wasn't that competitive, but starting in 2005 it became clear that having so many countries getting a bye in the final and only ten countries qualifying from the semifinal hindered the fairness of the competition and sooner or later having two semifinals and only reducing the automatic finalists to the host country and big 4/5 was the way to go. For me Eurovision 2005 is a very hot & cold, for every song that I love, there's another that makes me cringe.

[@TheHammertimeable]

I take it you also watched the 2005 eurovision again livestream on the official channel? I loved how everyone in the comment section were like "Oh, more drums" every time a new song came on haha. My favourite was Vanilla ninja this year, such a catchy song. And your number 2 lool, I swear this song. I just see a bunch on eastern european boys out on town, just hitting up the karaoke bar and deciding to completely put their heart and soul into it. Which actually makes it kinda wholesome to me, but also so funny.

[@eurovisiongal7007]

I don't usually watch Eurovision Again, actually!!! It's at a bad time for my schedule, haha, I'm usually too busy these days. I do always check the results later to get salty about them though. :) I think my main upset this year was Croatia and North Macedonia finishing so low! Nah, this edition just came at a good time because I'm doing a series where I rank every year and this video was already a while in the making. It's hilarious because Zauvijek Moja as a song is kind of amazing/artsy, but it's literally just an ~ethnic~ adaption of what was originally just a 2000s pop number, and it also features a bunch of random dudes playing hopping around excitedly, playing air violin, and singing like they're at a karaoke bar :,) I love it, where else could you find an entry like that? I'm guilty of often being someone who likes ~deep music~ at ESC the most but I totally recognise when something is just great fun. There is a hell of a lot of drums here, I guess Sertab and then Ruslana taught people they need some HIGH ENERGY songs to do well!

[@DentalFlan]

I remember everyone complaining about Germany's song on the stream, deserved ngl

[@myharlequinn]

So I could finally watch and well don't wanna spoil but we agree and disagree on a LOT OF THINGS. Also, cool video. I wonder how is it possible for Serbia and Montenegro to be so good?

[@eurovisiongal7007]

It be that way sometimes 🕺 I think it's good luck and how few entries they had! There's plenty of countries that have had an excellent pair of songs one after the other. I like their proposed 2006 entry but it definitely would've been the least impressive of the three.

@@myharlequinn it's sucky but she seems very confident and capable. I think they should offer artists more creative freedom, especially if they're gonna pick someone who makes a certain type of music. Their entries do usually come out very polished and high quality but can be interpreted as cold or inauthentic. Similar to Russia actually. It's a type of entry that can be received differently by different people. For me, I think it just depends what song 😂 I personally vibe more with countries that let artists do their own thing pretty much all the time even if it's unusual.

The Dutch singer was in America's Got Talent in one season, she went quite far because she was in the semi-finals or even got to the final if I'm not wrong... :D The backup for Andorran singer was, if I remember correctly, the Spanish singer in 1995 XDDDDD And yeah, Czarna dziewczyna was just about 6 pts from qualifying but IMO it should've qualified (along with Slovenia and Netherlands aka the two biggest crimes among the NQs of 2005), it wasn't THAT bad as some of the songs that went in :/ one of the authors of Belarussian song was also an author for I didn't know XD one of the Latvian guys (but I forgot which one) died not so long ago because of some kind of cancer :( And really, there used to be in Estonia (and as I heard somewhere, in Lithuania it still can be found because the company still has the rights to brand it seems...but I dunno if my info was actual) an actual ice cream brand named Vanilla Ninja (vanilla taste...and yes, after the band), but I don't know if that was just for these big packages of ice cream one could eat with your family or friends (or alone when having a bad day and watching some kind of romcom or so) or also for small ice cream you could eat on your own, but more like ice lolly-type/sandwich-like with ice cream laying between either two wafers or two cakes/ice cream in a cone/ice cream put in a cup or sth similar but made of wafer :DDDDD I also enjoy the Serbian-Montenegrin song, I see why someone had an idea to shape Love Love Peace Peace at least partially like that song :D I have nothing against Let me try but I always laugh at that those "drums" behind Luminita looking like either trash cans or those cans where radioactive (or some other kind of "warning, dangerous") trash is put in XDDDDDD

[@eurovisiongal7007]

You're always bringing the trivia :) I heard about the Dutch singer, sadly I don't love talent show style ballads so that's why I'm just okay with her song. I recently learned the meaning of the Polish song's lyrics and now... Uh, I don't know what to think. I knew about the Vanilla Ninja ice cream and referenced it in my comment :) you an find photos, they're little lolly things. I like Luminita's toxic waste drums, I think they create a nice edgy atmosphere back when staging wasn't as big a deal!

I never noticed the Austrian entry was your pfp, I'm so blind! I appreciate your enthusiasm for the Ukrainian entry, I think it's really cool and entries with some context or message often speak to me in some way, I think it's a shame it makes many appearances in bottom ten of people's tops. Even as a lover of No Name, I have to say Lane Moje is still the better song for me :) That makes Serbia & Montenegro technically my favourite ESC country given I'm now bound to rank it 1st or 2nd but that's not quite fair because they only have two songs! 😂 Also omg, I see you're a Javine fan, she's arguably the most well known UK entrant from the 2000s because she already had a few hit songs. She was involved in a pretty iconic beef... She ran off with the husband of another well known British singer, Alesha Dixon. Her friend, another even more recognisable singer, Jamelia, called her a, UM, degradatory term for a promiscuous woman when she got brought up on a panel show 💀 And the host asked her, how could you say that about our Eurovision entrant from last year? and Jamelia just says "well look where that got her 😌💅🏽" Poor gal, haha, the clips still exist and they're legendary. People usually say her career died because she dedicated all her time to the new guy.

This is a decent year for Eurovision, quite like it! A lot of strong entries, though there's a fair share of weak ones as well. Here's my opinion! 39. Belarus Wow, the chorus is laughably bad. And the rest of the song doesn't help. 38. Russia Yup, this is not how you do a metal song. The chorus once again sucks, very poor quality. 37. Austria This never really caught me. There are a few parts of the song which I actually dislike. I don't know, this is definitely not for me. 36. Bosnia & Herzegovina The song is generic and the delivery is far from the best one. 35. Germany Okay, here's another laughably bad chorus, but this time I can actually get enjoyment from those laughs. 34. Belgium Bland, forgettable entry. And that's really it. 33. Portugal And speaking about forgettable, this one is by far the most forgettable entry in this year. I don't know why this is higher than other songs. I guess the melody was decent, too bad I already forgot about it. 32. Andorra I feel like this song could have been executed better, it's really missing something. 31. France Another one that I can easily forget. The chorus was quite nice, though. 30. United Kingdom Damn, this is too generic for me to put it any higher. 29. Monaco I have zero effect from this ballad. It's really not for me. 28. Estonia It's an interesting setup, and the chorus is okay, but it's nothing special. 27. Ireland Yup, the same can be said about this song. 26. Finland Decent ballad, too bad it's another one of those songs that don't stand out. 25. Ukraine I like the chorus, but the verses aren't for me. 24. Turkey I used to really dislike this, but it's growing on me now. Overall a decent ethnic song. 23. Albania Another okay entry, which could have been better. Something's missing... 22. Iceland Nice song, it has a good chorus, but I understand why it didn't qualify. 21. Greece Yup, I put this entry down here. I've never really seen anything special about it, especially the chorus, which is the weakest part of the song. But the verses are pretty good and the performance is entertaining, so it's okay. 20. Poland I like what they did here, good ethnic entry! 19. Spain I don't know why, but I enjoy this for some reason. 18. Malta Chiara has a great voice and she definitely raises the bar for this song. I have a feeling that it could have easily flopped with the wrong singer. 17. Israel Pretty good, the chorus flows really good together and it overall sounds nice. But I have to say, that I'm slowly losing interest about this song, it used to be higher. 16. Lithuania Sure it sounds cheap, but I really enjoy the instrumental and chorus of this song! To be honest, I have no idea how it ended up in last place, probably because of the bad starting position. 15. Norway Finally, a decent hard rock entry! Too bad it's kind of generic. 14. Switzerland Finally, a decent hard rock entry! Too bad it's kind of generic, but not as generic as Norway. 13. Serbia & Montenegro Love what they did here, the folk sound is great, the song is a bit too repetitive, but it's still good! 12. Croatia Another awesome entry from Croatia, man, 2004 - 2009 were their golden years! 11. Romania The staging is awesome, the vocals are great, and the song is catchy! Well deserved top 3 position! 10. Denmark Classic Danish entry, that's why we love them! They take the simple and turn it into something special! 9. Hungary I'm pretty sure your comment about Hungary works as well in here. 8. Sweden One of the rare times when Sweden was actually underrated. I really like the performance, the chorus works really great as well! 7. Cyprus The chorus is catchy, I like the rhythm, and the song is well performed! This is really a similar situation to Sweden, this one's underrated. 6. The Netherlands That voice is great! And the ballad is so triumphant, especially in the final chorus! This is another case of a potentially bad song saved and massively improved by a great singer! 5. Bulgaria Very classy, very interesting - it's a big yes from me. Wonderful instrumental, the mood and atmosphere of this song is fantastic! A very strong debut by a very strong country. 4. Slovenia This song should have definitely qualified. Omar does a far better job here than in the snore that was his 2017 entry. Also, the metal vibes are awesome! 3. North Macedonia What a fun, fantastic experience! Another well performed and wonderfully done song, which is catchy and hits all the right notes for me! Awesome, another underrated track! 2. Latvia This, ladies and gentlemen, is the best thing that we have ever sent to Eurovision. The ballad is beautiful, it spreads a nice message, and is greatly performed, despite the fact that Valters had a bad case of cold in the final. I really think that we deserved the top 5 result, I love what we sent. 1. Moldova But I love this stuff even more! It was about time when we actually saw a punk song enter Eurovision! And this one has amazing ethnic vibes to it! This entry is everything a good punk song should be! It has a lot of energy and the chorus is very catchy! What a way for Moldova to start Eurovision, and this was their best result for a long time for a reason! Truly amazing.

The song is boring, the hook is the epitome of no effort, her outfit and hair make me want to puke, and the staging looks like the set of an extremely low-budget CSI rip-off. I said what I said

AND THE HOOK. I love it, really memorable. I think I've seen it in people's NQs maaaaybe once or twice.

Great top! But I don't like Andorra and Ukraine in this year. Bad vocal
