Eurovision 2017 - My Top 42

Here's my Top 42 of Eurovision 2017, a pretty good year in my opinion, if only the right songs qualified.
Hope you enjoy!

[@NIKITA-xe1ce]

Terrible top

[@illsu]

U have gotten the pin of shame.

[@raimoxd3060]

Dude Dont Hate

[@nicoledickson6099]

It's not your top, we all have opinions you dumbass, what if I call your top absolutely disgusting?

[@shea8977]

Blackbird is one of my favourite entries of all time, such a beautiful song 😿

[@vincentesc]

Omg yes Czech Republic receive the recognition it deserved !

[@gg454lune]

10th: Italy 9th: Australia 8th: Portugal 7th: Austria 6th: Poland 5th: Finland (I don't understand why that song didn't qualify) 4th: Bulgaria 3rd: Moldova 2nd: Belgium 1st: France

[@ESCStroopwafel]

I really like this ranking, and it seems many of the countries you wanted to see qualify resemble mine. I'm still sad Lindita, Tamara, Jana and Norma John failed to qualify with really good songs. I genuinely think 2017 is a good year for Eurovision, but maybe it's a bias of mine because I started my channel in that year. Also, I love that you put Armenia, Denmark and the UK in the top 10, they deserved it :D

[@ronweasley6585]

i definetely agree you about Sweden, i think it was trash. and also i agree about Albania, UK, Georgia and The Netherlands. they were amazing.

[@jonnyvandenbruel5769]

Portugal is for me since 2017 the best ESC song ever! And I also like 'Blackbird' very, very much!!! 1. Portugal - 2. Finland - 3. Croatia - 4. Austria - 5. Czech Republic - 6. Belgium - 7. Bulgaria - 8. Italy - 9. Australia - 10. Slovenia. I also adore the harmonious sound of OG3NE, but not this song.

[@sangreazul46]

Here's my top 4 4: Albania - World (awesome entry , powerful voice 100/100) 3: Czech Republic - My turn (beautiful, grateful, from the billion hearts to choose 100/100) 2: Armenia : Fly w/ me (so in love with song and performance all along100/100) 1: Finland : Black bird ( masterpiece, mysterious , excellent music and song 100/100 )

This year sort of breaks the fantastic year streak that was going on in 2007 - 2016, but oh well, this one is also quite fine, with plenty of great tunes, although there's also plenty of mediocre ones. 42.

[@ilovemcharts9992]

portugal sounds like a song straight from the early eurovision years (it grows on me ridiculously, it’s so timeless) i see now why it won denmark was crazy underrated in the televoting (australians basically voted for themselves there lol) a lot of the songs fell flat live though (italy, greece, n. macedonia, serbia, iceland, czech republic, germany, switzerland [it was amazing in the nf, but that yellow dress ain’t it], and so much more) so it’s probably why people say it’s a weak year

[@tombontoft4447]

nooo macedonia was so good

[@keithharth1219]

FINALLY someone who recognizes how good Albania and Georgia were in '17

[@Knabberfritz]

Moldova this year is my favourite entry ever 😂

[@fyr_og_flamme_vasil]

I rarely agree with you but Moldova 2017 is a masterpiece and I like the Epic Sax Guy, he's one of the biggest legends of Eurovision ever. 2010 was such a robbery and 2017 was one of the greatest masterpieces of all time. 🇦🇿❤️🇲🇩

[@Knabberfritz]

@@fyr_og_flamme_vasil we might not often agree but we agree on the most important thing 😂 btw, Azerbaijan is first in my 2016 top, I forgot to tell you 🇦🇿 I always have very controversial opinions, but in this case you probably like it

[@escchristian593]

I'm glad Portugal saved Czechia from the televoting nul points that year. She didn't deserve that and Czechia didn't deserve nul tele points for the second year in a row.

[@FFFlemish]

Technically Jana wasn't dancing alone because she mentioned that she was pregnant during the performance

[@TM-bg8dn]

Your top is really good!

[@vincentesc]

And yes this year was so good but the results were so bad like half of my top 20 are NQ-songs and my top 05 there is 3 NQ-songs

[@SamLennon201]

OMG your taste is actually the best 👌 👍 😍

[@escchristian593]

Amazing top. Only Belgium should be higher.

[@Knabberfritz]

Glad someone else finds Bulgaria overrated

[@aknigge]

Here are my personal votes/rankings, i'am from the Netherlands 12 points: Bulgaria - Kristian Kostov - Beautiful mess 10 points: Belgium - Blanche - City lights 8 points: Australia - Isaiah - Don't come easy 7 points: Sweden - Robin Bengtsson - I can't go on 6 points: Italy - Francesco Gabbani - Occidentali's karma 5 points: Israël - Imri - I feel alive 4 points: France - Alma - Requiem 3 points: Norway - JOWST - Grab the moment 2 points: Greece - Demy - This is love 1 point : Hungary - Joci Pápai - Origo

[@aknigge]

Also Jana Burceska (F.Y.R. Macedonia) deserved with her song "Dance alone" a place in the Grand Final Show.

[@aknigge]

I gave my personal votes to the ESF eurovision songs performed in the Grand Final Show. Very disappointed that Estonia - Koit Toome & Laura - Verona > wasn't chosen to performing the song in the Grand Final Show. Then i gave Estonia 7 points, after my personal points for Bulgaria, Belgium & Australia.

[@stephanievantielen5615]

YES!!! Finland did deserved a place in the final. One the most beautiful songs ever made for eurovision. Also very pleasantly surprised you put the UK into your top 10. It was indeed a good song. But putting The Netherlands 5th? I think I must be missing something. Way too much Wilson Phillips, not to mention boring! But I do respect your opinion! My winner of 2017 is, and always will be Belgium!

[@valentinovlugt1390]

Connor, normally I barely agree with you, but you really hit it out of the park this time w/ me by putting Albania/the UK/Georgia up that high.

[@EldaMengisto]

I feel like 2017 is a bit slagged off because it lies in the shadow of the 2016 contest, both in terms of songs and production. While upon second viewing, it was a bit less interesting (songs 13-16 in the final was a particularly bad run), there were a number of charms it has, from the Eurovision medley with Ukrainian instruments to the interval act. And while it wasn't the strongest overall lineup, there were some good songs in this field. (I may be biased because it's the first-ever contest I've watched, haha!) My top ten (honorable mentions to ARM, PRT, UKR, ALB, and CYP. I also have SWE as a guilty pleasure, haha): 1 pt: BLR 2 pt: POL (I love this song for being so dark and intriguing, and I like Kasia's vocals in the live performance) 3 pt: FIN (I don't know why this NQed either, except it was the juries that pulled them down. Norma John actually did everything right! And I can relate having your winner not qualifying, but we'll have to wait one more year for that...) 4 pt: GBR 5 pt: ISL (I listened to this quite a bit post-contest, and I like the sonic atmosphere of it, along with the lyrics about mental health. The problem with Paper is that it didn't stand out amongst the crowd.) 6 pt: AZE 7 pt: HUN 8 pt: BEL -- I love the sonic atmosphere of City Lights. It reminds me of being in the middle of one at night, with everything blinking around you. Blanche was definitely nervous, but surprisingly, it added to the stakes of the song, almost as if she was on a wire. 10 pt: ITA -- The message of the song, along with its upbeat nature, really got to me when I first listened to it. I actually believed that Occidentali's Karma was going to win with all the hype that was going on! While I didn't mind the staging that much, it has worn off of me at times, however. 12 pt: FRA -- Requiem, on the other hand, really stuck with me. Partially because it was French (haha), but also because it combined love and death really well. The production for the revamp was even better than the original, even though the English-language lyrics were a bit forced at times. The staging was pretty, but I agree with you on it needed something more. Either way, it's such a beautiful French-pop song, filled with passion and whimsy.

[@maxwebb425]

If Flame is Burning was on this list where would you rank it?

[@Knabberfritz]

My top 5: 1st Moldova 2nd United Kingdom 3rd Sweden 4th Cyprus 5th Portugal VERY STRONG YEAR!

[@maskedkami5385]

2017 stands out as quite a bit weaker compared to the rest of the post 2015 contests. It isn’t bad by any means, but there are quite a lot of weak entries in this bunch and there isn’t a lot of entries I regularly listen to here. The production and hosts were also not the greatest. Still a decent year though if we compare it to more than just the last few contests. Below is my Top 5 1. Hungary 🇭🇺 2. Portugal 🇵🇹 3. Norway 🇳🇴 4. Bulgaria 🇧🇬 5. Armenia 🇦🇲 I also have a question for you. I’m working on a big video showcasing the Top 10 of every single contest, so I obviously need footage from all the contests. 4K Downloader doesn’t support videos from 2016 - 2021 so I wonder what VPN you recommend.

[@eurovisionconnor]

Hmmm, 4K downloader has worked fine for me for all the years. there was a brief period where it stopped working completely but an update fixed that issue. I'm not sure what issue you're running into, and I haven't used a VPN for it.

[@maskedkami5385]

@@eurovisionconnor I’ve had issues downloading certain videos from 2016 - 2021, cause I believe there is something with those videos that make them harder to download. Maybe I just need to try to download them again. Do you pay for 4K downloader or do you just use the free version (like me).

[@eurovisionconnor]

I've paid for the personal Premium. That might make the difference.

[@maskedkami5385]

@@eurovisionconnor I just managed to download 2016 without the premium, so it might not be an issue anymore. I will consider getting the premium if I encounter the problem again.

Dance Alone

[@timoherrmann2818]

Again I really love some choices, especially France, Georgia, Albania and Finland in the top 10!

[@Quietstream_productions]

Well, this is the farthest off I've been with my winner prediction; 20 places. Meanwhile my last place prediction was just 3 places off. Anyway, I need to condence my thoughts more because my last 2 comments have been so descriptive that they were too long for youtube I guess. But anyway, 2017 is an alright year. I've noticed a theme in the 2010s where the odd-numbered years are if worse quality than the even-numbered years. The stage kinda looks ridiculous because of that hilariously oversized loop in the back. Also the voting was completely trash, such a landslide (even more than 2009)! 42. Lithuania (possibly the strangest accent I've ever heard) 41. Germany 40. Spain 39. Ireland (SUCH an annoying voice) 38. Cyprus (idk why this annoys me so much) 37. Slovenia 36. Malta 35. San Marino (bad but funny) 34. Montenegro (bad but funny v2) 33. Sweden 32. Georgia 31. Greece 30. Israel 29. Serbia (best entry for the adjective "meh") 28. Croatia 27. Norway 26. Australia (jury overrated it but televote underrated it) 25. Ukraine 24. Iceland 23. Romania 22. Albania (not sure about how necessary that note is) 21. North Macedonia (nq) 20. Estonia (nq) 19. Czech Republic (nq) 18. Switzerland (nq) 17. The Netherlands 16. Latvia (ridiculous staging) 15. United Kingdom 14. Italy (monke) 13. Portugal (grown on me significantly) 12. Armenia 11. Hungary 10. Poland 9. Denmark (what's not to like about this?) 8. Moldova (not as memey as 2010 but is still better) 7. Finland (no clue how this nq'd) 6. Azerbaijan 5. Austria (so adorable!) 4. France 3. Belarus (favorite Belarusian entry) 2. Bulgaria 1. Belgium (6th and final time Belgium has been my winner; 1966, 1999, 2003, 2010, and 2015 are also when Belgium was my winner) In 2018, I predict Lithuania will be your winner and Iceland will be your last
