My 50 Eurovision Shocking Non Qualifiers 2009 - 2018

[@karlJCompton]

1 - This was more shocking then my no.2 only because this happened first in 2017 and in sf2 I was expecting a shock. I understand now why it didn’t qualify but at the time hardly anyone thought this wouldn’t qualify. I didn’t think a non - qualification would ever get as shocking as Iceland 2016 but I was wrong. It’s not that I adore this song, I just thought that the juries would place this in the top 3, maybe even 2nd & thought there would be a lot of support from the public. Not as much but enough to see it qualify and to find out afterwards that it was the other way around and that the public qualified it and the juries placed this 20 points behind 10th ending in 12th place with them. It was just so shocking, I remember staying up till the morning hours in a private Eurovision group analysing this. Like I said, I kinda understand it now but not at the time. 2 - This is my 2nd favourite Eurovision song of all time & my favourite of the 21st century. After SF1 I was prepared for a huge shock but not this. I’m happy the public placed it 6th but the juries. I will never forgive them. In what universe was San Marino the only song worse then this? Even Lithuania placed higher with them. It’s disgusting. In one way though the non - qualification just adds to the drama of the Romeo & Juliet heartbreak story. 3 - This was a true WTF just happened moment. Even if the staging wasn’t as slick as the national final performance, this was quality enough to qualify. I will forever be in shock over its non - qualification and it didn’t even come close. It was closer to being last then 10th. Even though no bad songs qualified in this semi, I would have still placed it in the top 10. 4 - The staging to be honest was a let down for me. They didn’t bring the summer vibes as they did in the music video but as it’s Poland I was so sure this was going to qualify with ease. I thought this would be like Michal 2016, the juries not qualifying it but the public would have enough points to see it through but even the public only placed it 10th.a huge shock. 5 - This was amazing. It had a huge LGBTQ following & I’m still in shock over it. This was my 6th fav of 2015 and should have defo qualified over Cyprus and maybe Poland & Azerbaijan at least. 6 - My jaw fell to the ground (like all of my top 9) when this wasn’t called out as a qualifier, I was never going to not have this in my top 10 predictions. It’s crazy. 7 - Israel in 2013 & 2014 deserved to qualify. Maybe cos Mei was a shouty woman and juries don’t tend to vote for them much was a turn off, but the public didn’t even go for it. Only 5 songs missed out in this semi and this was one of them WTF 8 - I just don’t get it. I think it’s laughable how Armenia qualified over this master piece. Just a stunning performance. 9 - so shocked about this. I think the rap put juries off, but it did qualify with the public. Maybe there was too much going on & the message didn’t come across. This deserved to qualify. I love the song. 10 - I was so sure this was going to qualify. Looking back now, I’m happy it didn’t 11- come on, it’s Sweden. That alone was enough for everyone to place it in their top 10 predictions. 12 - I really liked this even when the fandom didn’t but before the rehearsals, I thought this would just miss out however, on the night. They got it together and it was a great performance. Hungary defo deserved the qualification but thought this would have done better over Slovenia & Serbia. 13 - I was caught up in that bubble as well. Looking back now it’s clear this wouldn’t qualify but I just loved it enough to not see it through the eyes of the fandom. 14 - Magical, Mystical and Mysterious but beautiful as well. I was praying this would qualify. I had a lot of faith in this even though they didn’t have a great history. The song deserved to qualify. Esp. over Armenia ugh. 15 - I hadn’t paid much attention to this before Eurovision week but on the night when I saw the staging, I was so happy & it made my list of 10 qualifications on the night. 16 - Even though Slovakia hadn’t qualified before, I thought the public & juries would like this enough to vote big for it. I’m still sad about this. 17 - Such a shame this didn’t qualify. A simple but catchy song. 18 - I loved this performance. This grew on me. The song is bad, but the staging was phenomenal and memorable. 19 - In 2013 Serbia had done so well at Eurovision and were beloved I just thought this would sail through. The national final performance was much better as they portrayed the song better, but most voters hadn’t even seen that. 20 - It was Armenia, catchy, camp song. This was a winner. They always did well up to this point. Didn’t see this missing out. It’s not that good of a song now but at the time. I loved it. 21 - Beautiful song, I didn’t think this had any chance of missing out on the final. Sadly, this semi was full of amazing songs and none of their main voters. Serbia, Bosnia. FYR Macedonia and Albania were in semi - final 1. 22 - So sad about this, I loved this song from the first time I heard it even though the rest of the fandom were disappointed, but momentum was growing with this to qualify when the rehearsal clips were shown and let’s not forget, Azerbaijan had a 100% qualification record up to this point so, I thought that would have helped as well. I think if this was on later, it would have qualified. I predicted before that Finland & Azerbaijan would finish 10th & 11th. 1 would scrape through and they kinda sound familiar. I thought Azerbaijan would get that last spot & Saara would just miss out, but it was the other way around. 23 - Just a great song and thought this would have qualified over Hungary. The 2 songs sounded quite similar to me and whenever I think of one, I automatically think o the other. 24 - I thought this was a great comeback & was worthy of a place in the final. 25 - once again the staging let it down but like many songs, I thought the love of the song before Eurovision would be powerful enough to see it through. 26 - Staging was poor, but Belgium had been doing so good lately. 2013, 2015 & 2016 so I thought the public would get behind her and thought she would be rewarded by the juries as well. 27 - This was just so much fun. I didn’t love it at the time as much as I do now, but it was such a fun song. And thought this would qualify over Montenegro & San Marino. 28 - Juri is smouldering and sexy & thought the James bond theme song would see it though but not do very well in the final. 29 - This is what Eurovision is all about and I want these crazy songs to come back and not just have all Spotify, radio friendly songs do well cos of the juries. Even though I didn’t love this as much as the fandom, I thought this was fun enough to qualify. Esp. when it was quite a weak semi. 30 - This was a huge fan favourites and one of the favs to win the entire contest. I didn’t think this was going to be missed out. Looking back now, it wasn’t good enough to qualify but at the time, I was caught up in that bubble. 31 - This was a weird one cos normally publicity doesn’t have much of an impact on results but on the night, I thought the lack of exposure of this song would be its downfall, but I still thought that this could have qualified. 32 - The staging wasn’t the best, they should have had the staging from the National Final, but Tamara was amazing. There was room in the final and even though (along with Albania) the staging was a let-down, I didn’t dismiss this and could have still qualified. 33 - I weren’t the biggest fan of this song and the staging was bad but it’s still Greece and I thought it could qualify for that alone but I’m happy it didn’t as it was a bad package. 34 - The song isn’t that good, I didn’t think it had any chance before the semi, but the staging really impressed me when I watched it. I thought this was going to be the shock qualifier of the year. Maybe if it was on later it would have. 35 - The song wasn’t strong but come on, it’s Dana International and thought the name alone would see her through. I was really shocked on the night cos I thought they would save her until last to be called but no. 36 - The staging let this down but as Moldova and Russia were voting in this semi, I thought this could sneak in. Looking back now, it was kinda obvious it wouldn’t. 37 - What a voice. The staging let this down, so I was less optimistic about it’s qualification but I still thought that this had a chance. 38 - Such a great ethnic song. The LED was fantastic, It’s the sort of song which I thought would do a lot better. 39 - Another song I loved before the contest, but I was let down by the staging, but I thought that once again a singer with a great voice and a song liked by the fans could have been enough to see it through. 40 - I didn’t want this to qualify as I thought it was dated but not nostalgic, but I knew her voice would be loved by the juries & her Eurovision legacy would do well with the voters to see it sneak through, but no. 41 - They got the staging wrong however I thought the love of this song pre-Eurovision would see it through, just like Belgium City Lights. 42 - I thought this would just sneak in to 10th place. It is one of my favourite songs now however, at the time I was less convinced then the fandom. 43 - This was a fun entry and I thought the public would vote hard for this enough to see it through. 44 - This wasn’t very loved in the fan community HOWEVER, when I saw the rehearsal. I was really touched by it. Not as much as the national final but it still gave me Goosebumps & I thought her voice would make her a big hit with the juries and it did, sadly however, the public didn’t understand

[@georgemcmahon7393]

I agree with your poll all these songs got robbed

[@paklurganteng]

Is Armenia your least favorite of 2013? 😂 Thanks for appreciating Romania 2018 and I agree Hungary deserved it but Romania should’ve qualified instead of Slovenia.

Finland 2017 not qualifying is one of the worst crimes in history

[@MissyLaMotte]

Greece not qualifying was a real bummer this year. It was one of my absolute favourites. Same goes for Belgium, even though I admit that both songs did come across better in the videos than in the live performances and that's what counts in the end.

[@andjela.randjelovic]

My opinion: 5. Israel 2013. 4. Czech Republic 2015. 3. San Marino 2013. For me "Vola" is better than "Maybe" 2. Switzerland 2017. 😔 One of my favourite in 2017. 1. Greece 2018. 😢💔💔 That was my favourite song this year 😢 I love it!

ESC Lisa Germany yup. Switzerland is one of the most underrated countries these years. And I loved this Switzerland's song this year so much, the music, the lyrics, the performance, and most of all, the message. I was surprised that it didn't make it to the final

[@jembh5378]

Zibbz? Stones?? SWITZERLAND??? Oh... okay then :( good list none the less

[@damirdominkovic]

I don't get why Poland 2018 was shocking. It was a decent song sung terribly, I don't think he hit one single note right!

[@MissyLaMotte]

I agree. It's a shame, because the song really did have potential. It is a common problem with Eurovision that the performers cannot hear their own voice correctly when they are on stage and that makes hitting the right notes almost impossible. It is true for about half the entries in this list (unless the artists really can't sing, which I seriously doubt, because they all have been picked to be there ... it is not like the first round of a casting show or something) I am surprised that this happens so often in an event that big.

[@damirdominkovic]

@@MissyLaMotte I was there for all performances live, and yes, there was a lot of technical and sounds engineering issues. But Poland actually sounded terrible live even in national selections

[@alexk.2332]

My top 5 non-qualifiers of all time (that should have qualified) 1. San Marino 2013 (She was the best In semi final two. She was my second that year. A perfect song, a perfect person, a perfect singer, a perfect language. Everything is pure and amazing) 2. Finland 2017 (What a Masterpiece!!!!! This was perfect. I was so happy that you put it first. It was way better than the winner that year) 3. Switzerland 2018 (I am not fan of the songs like this, but this was perfect. Simply perfect. I loved from the first I heard it. I couldn't understand why it didn't go through) 4. Sweden 2010 ( It is one of the best Swedish entries. I couldn't understand why why. It was something different from Sweden and It didn't qualify. I am speechless) 5. Something old Monaco 2005 (Amazing song. My 4th that year. What a classic background. What a magical song. One of the most Underrated and robbed songs of all time) Edit: After one month list has changed!!!! My 3rd place is for Latvia 2018!!!!!!!! So 3-5 go one place lower!

[@jennianneliese4029]

Amazing song, I really love it.💖💖💖💖 Better than Portugal

2010 Poland failed to qualify thanks to the last 30 seconds of that song, (The chorography in the end looked very weird, looked like a r-pe scene). Had the chorography been the same as what he did in the National Final I think it would qualified. 2010 Croatia, I think was a slower song than others in that Semi final. 2012 Netherlands would have been considered a cultural crime in the USA (Attitudes of Native American headdresses must be different in Europe) 2013 Switzerland I think failed because the old guy looked sincerely lost. 2017 Estonia-additional note, they made the same mistake that 2004 Slovenia made, too much flirting and non word notes.

YES! Finland was ROBBED in 2017! Arguably one of the most beautiful ballads in Eurovision history!

[@nathanael5898]

#4 hear the focals. Romania 2018 was one of the most undeserved NQ-ers for me since it was a weak semi and the song+performance were good.

[@Wlad_El_Exxxcritor]

And Belarus 2018 with Alekseev OMG! I LOVE HIS MUSIC! :(

[@AaA-nc4or]

Biggest crimes (for me) 5.Finland 2017 4.Belgium 2018 3.Greece 2018 2.Switzerland 2017 and 2018 and every fucking year 1.Serbia 2017(Deserved to be at least top 10)

[@taniapapoutsigr2524]

Nice Video.From those i was shocked(mostly) with 1.Swiss 2012 Sinplus.2.Israel 2011 Mei and most of all Finland 2017 blackbird(i was crying for this).I loved the Greek song last year but live she killed it with a very bad stage appearance.

[@SagaeRintaro]

They ultimate true. Oh, god, my cute Romania. Belgium, Israel, Greece, Finland, Norway, Moldova. My heart. NON QUALIFICATED!!! DARK EVIL ARE NOT EUROVISION!

[@tatutuomaala8648]

Bulgaria 2011 is the biggest crime! But Greece&Azerbaijan 2018 was also

[@GEOFame]

My 5 favourites: 1. Switzerland 2013 2. Switzerland 2012 3. Moldova 2015 4. Belarus 2015 5. Bulgaria 2011 Very good video!!!

I didn’t realize how many of these have ended up in my permanent playlist over the years... Goes to show that there are a lot of amazing non-qualifiers out there ✨

I'm from Poland and i loved our 2018 song but Lukas sang in horribly during the eliminations. No wonder we didn't get to the finals.

[@22nd_Place_Vasil]

Thanks a lot !!!!! I'm from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿

[@ESTablished2oo8]

Mei Finegold I loved the song so much. Still in my playlist 👌🏼👍🏼

[@Sabrinajaine]

I'm still angry about Blackbird! Also I can't believe you didn't have Macedonia 2018 with 'Lost and Found' (although the staging was a total mess, the song is one of my all time favourites from 2018 and I still listen to it on a regular basis)

[@22nd_Place_Vasil]

Azerbaijan 2018 non qualifier is a real crime. 🇦🇿

[@Helvett222]

I agree with most of your choices, of course I would change places. For sure, my number one would be Stella Mwanga and her Haba Haba, she regrets that she did not win the competition in 2011. I did not have a song from Latvia in 2018, it would be very high for me. The biggest positive surprise is place 50.

[@janamitevska31]

Switzwrland 2013 ''You and me'' was my winner for that year, i still love that song ❤

[@aniells77]

Finland´s still playing on my Playlist. FOREVER..

[@kubyasek1406]

Number one - Lindita. She should have won.

[@tycoo7]

Great to hear those songs again, their are an amazing songs no doubt

[@kristianberget6511]

Imagine for one second if all of these 50 songs had just qualified. Then we'd have 50 new songs that would probably be WAY more shocking non-qualifiers than these. So I don't really think «shocking non-qualifiers» is the right term to use on most of these songs.. imagine if like salvador sobral hadn't qualified in 2017. Now THAT would have been a shocking non-qualifier.

[@frutino82]

Anna Bergendahl 2010 and Norma John 2017 were fantastic and my favourites of these years. I don't like the other 48..

[@farros1578]

If u think about it, FYR Macedonia has always sent good songs and is overhyped in the recent Eurovisions but all ended up not qualifieing💁🏻‍♀️

[@EurovisionFan91]

My two biggest shocks were both in 2017 - Verona and Blackbird.

[@petterwilhelmsson7750]

Based from this timeperiod, there is alot of good songs that didnt make it to the final, and what I think is that many of these songs needed a second listening. Ofcourse there’s not a thing as a second performance But I think it would change alot of the results in many of these years. Anyway, Im not sure about My top 10, 5 or whatever, But what I Can say is that I have two important songs in My life that didnt make it to the final. The first one is The Lovebugs from Switzerland 2009, and the second one is the 3JS from The Netherlands 2011. Especially 3JS song had a HUGE impact on My life, and I just hope someday that Jan Dulles actually know that his song Never Alone Isnt just a last placing song in eurovision, Im sure Im not the only one on the planet that has enjoyed that song after the contest. Im sure all of you have Your songs that didnt make it to the final. Dont forget that this competition is a mixture between song and show, and it has alot to do with the starting positioning. These songs are still amazing!

OK for Belgium 2018 - San Marino 2013 (better than all Valentina's entries) - Switzerland 2017 and Estonia 2017 (still a favourite for me) - Malta 2018 - Georgia 2017 - Portugal 2013 (better than some songs in the final) and Belarus 2016.

[@Shako997]

I would be shocked if 48, 39!!, 30, 20!!, 16, 11, 10!!!, 4, 2 would have qualified, seriously all these song were so bad (30, 20, 16, 11) or the live was very bad (48, 39, 4, 2), and then there is Umbroken which was a total mess. I really love some of these but live was not good (48, 36, 28, 26, 13) The biggest crimes are defenitely Israel 2013 and 2014, San Marino 2013, Norway 2016, Iceland 2016, Bulgaria 2012 and 2013. Switzerland 2018, Greece 2018, Malta 2015, Albania 2017. I don't like the song of Finland 2017 but the performance was amazing and they totally deserved to qualify.

Austria 2013, Macedonia 2016 & 2017 and Greece 2018 are, for me, the most shocking ones. Specially Macedonia 2016, because I'm half Macedonian and because of the song and the meaning it has for me, and for the singer.

I also thought she would qualify 46. Ahm idk maybe 45. Deserved to qualify definitely 44. Not shocking at all, many hated it :/ 43. What?? Worst vocal performance ever xDDDD 42. Yeah... Especially because it has so many views now... But it's Slovakia, back then politics did a bigger role than now 41. I am not shocked somehow 40. Not shocked again xD 39. Terrible staging 38. Yeah especially because everyone is hyping her after 2016. For me personally this is even better 37. I thought her voice alone would make it qualify 36. Vocals could be better 35. It's DANA INTERNATIONAL so yeah 34. Underrated definitely 33. For most of people staging was dull... But kinda agree. And it deserved to qualify so much 💙 32. Again not shocking but deserved to qualify 31. Yes yes yes agree! 30. Ehhh nothing shocking at all 29. For me worst song ever ughhh I am happy it didn't qualify. But still OVERRATED XDDDDDD 28. Yeah last place how :O 27. So underrated 26. I feel so bad for her and Belgium 😭😭😭😭😭 and dont understand why people complain about staging 25. Expected with that staging AND it's Switzerland... And the song isnt too special 24. Yeah :/ 23. So underrated definitely 22. Song is generic, but as it's Azerbaijan I also thought it would qualify 21. Idk not surprising 20. Song is just too simple 19. Yes agree 18. Performance was great, but I didn't think it would qualify though 17. Soooo bland 16. So bland and it's Slovakia 15. Yeah it's so unique 💙💙💙💙 I guess staging was too empty for some 14. Its San Marino and 'only' 2nd time for Valentina so xD 13. As being loved by fans, performing last and having this bright staging yeah 12. Kinda... I feel sad for Romania 11. Biggest crime ever omg 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 10. She was so nervous... I am fine with that and love it, but others werent it seems 9. Ehhhh 8. Nothing shicking 7. Yes yes yes omg 6. Nothing shocking at all and I never was a fan 5. Yeah I was so sad back then when Malta didn't qualify 4. Bad vocals so... But kinda shocking still 3. Yeah 2. Too bland I guess.... But underrated 😭 1. Yes yes omg 😭😭😭😭 Great video! 💙💙💙💙💙 I don't agree with everything but still :D

Bosnia Herzegovina 2016: their streak was impeccable but if they were to fail it was now or never Israel 2014: fan favorite Malta 2015: o thought the juries would overrate it like in 2014: Poland 2018: I thought they’d do much better with the televote Iceland 2016: everyone expected this to qualify Estonia 2017: fanwank Finland 2017: fanwank I would add Armenia and Switzerland 2018

This is an updated version of this list. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXK0eIaDjdurY7s

This seems more like a list of good songs that didn't qualify rather than "most shocking non-qualifiers." A lot of these were pretty obviously on the bubble. I mean - you're saying there are on average 5 shocks a year!

[@kadz3597]

maybe couple of them were real shockers.. rest was pretty predictible

2017 Slovenia, 2015 Czechia, 2010 Slovakia were the main 3 that should have qualified. 2017 Estonia would have qualified if they sang it in Italian. 2017 was a year where the bad ones qualified and the good songs failed to qualify. Of the top 10 in the finals, only 4 were good. While 5 that didn't qualify were far better (Slovenia, Estonia, Serbia, Finland, Macedonia) all could have been top 10. My order in 2017 would have been Winner Moldova, 2: Romania, 3, Italy,4 Slovenia, 5 Estonia, 6 Azerbaijan, 7 Isreal, 8 Macedonia, 9 France, 10.Sweden...Portugal I had at 27th.

What happened?

Soraya Gabriela Pérez Zambrano I'm actually not sure because it was so long ago but people at home couldn't vote, I think they left it up to the juries for some reason

2010: Slovakia, Sweden, Croatia 2011: Norway, Armenia, Bulgaria, Israel 2012: just Slovenia tbh 2013: Serbia, San Marino, Israel 2014: Israel (big shock) , Ireland 2015: very easy to predict year, got 19/20 qualifiers that year, my best score ever, only mistaked Malta qualifying over Poland. And yes I had predicted Iceland not qualifying and Cyprus making it. It was very obvious to me in rehearsals. 2016: Iceland and Norway 2017: Finland, Latvia, Estonia 2018: Belgium, Greece, Poland So 22 songs in 18 semis were shocking non qualifiers to me. And to think that the shocking non qualifiers rarely are the 11th placed country. The most shocking though would be Israel 2014, Finland 2017, Iceland 2016. Though I gotta say, on the night of the first semifinal of Eurovision 2016, I was watching with my mom,uncle and grandma (who were listening for the first time) and none of them actually enjoyed Iceland.
