I love years like 2006, 2007 and 2008. The glory years of the 00's. So many high quality anthems and then hilarious joke acts that you can still bop to. Let 2021 be full of quality and fun.

[@SelfMedicatedOnHalloumi]

And 2021 truly was a quality year! :D I would add 2009 to that list also.

[@jardejay8804]

@@SelfMedicatedOnHalloumi 2009 was epic. Back then that stage Russia created was a technological marvel.

[@tmdgcmct9756]

Literally could not disagree more. These three years are for me the worst years of Eurovision. Only three bops every year and full of jokes. The whole 2000s actually is the dark days of Eurovision for me. Things started to pick up again in 2009 when the juries were reintroduced.

[@kendzo92]

@@tmdgcmct9756Wow, 2010s were pretty bad Imo, 2000s were probably the best. Later it was easier to fix the winners with the "jury" voting so that the west European countries could win sometimes. Also, I highly doubt Azerbaijan winning wasn't rigged or giving the Victory to Ukraine in 2014 and 2022 for political reasons. Everyone and their grandma knew Sweden was gonna win this year too, even if the song is super boring. 2000-2014 are probably the best Eurovision years

[@han-oq6bo]

​@@kendzo92 since the jury votes were reintroduced the televote winner has only failed to win 4 times... Two of those were western countries in Italy and Norway. Western countries such as Norway, Germany, Sweden (2012 edition), Denmark, Austria, Portugal and Italy would have won with the televote only.

[@matthewlinehan658]

Ukraine, Armenia and Greece were all doing similar things. Amazing things but similar things. So I think they had all cancelled each other out which somehow lead to a Russian victory (In fairness, 2009 looked epic). My personal favourites from this year are Georgia, North Macedonia and Portugal (Portugal's my favourite).

[@roy.moreno]

That's exactly what I thought of 2008 Ukraine could have probably won it if it hadn't been for Greece and Armenia also doing the same thing

[@commentor3485]

2008 was short dresses and 4 dancers. That a how Dima broke out of the pack.

[@martinusv7433]

Yep, 3 lovely ladies were controlling the show in 2008, and only Dima Bilan managed to disturb their party.

[@iankirillin7285]

Serbia was standing out but unfortunately people did not want the contest to be held in the same country, we have the real issue of not wanting that the winning country do this in a row

[@srdjangavrilovic3116]

[@martinusv7433]

It was mostly a protest against the ESC's transformation into "Yugovision" (i.e. Balkan states propping each other up in the rankings by only giving points to each other).

[@minano-nim6795]

My best guess is that, among other reasons, most countries did not want to win. Remember, 2008 was in the midst of a Global Crisis, and many countries were not in a good financial position at the time. Sending a fun joke entry could potentially give people something to laugh about, while hopefully pushing the financial burden of hosting Eurovision on someone else.
