[@supermadrid1]

For me, the two worst songs in the history of Eurovision coincide in 2000, the 4 girls from Macedonia and the band from Israel, they did not tune a single note, a real ridiculous and lack of professionalism, the worst thing is that in the selection of their countries these songs won, what would the others be like? Impossible worse.

[@IzayoiArwena]

Happy and happy 2.0

[@bluefoxvenus]

The song and performance of the 4 girls from North Macedonia should definitely receive a reward for being the worst EVER. As a matter of fact 80% of all Macedonia's entries were outright crap.

[@bartekbrdon2398]

2000 was one the worst years in the entire history of Eurovision

ok 2005 Turkey is bad but not that much. The story they wanted to tell was shamanism or tengrism which Turks believed before they converted to Islam. But because Turkish Radio and TV's pressure the song became more like an Indian song with screamings. The original Rimi Rimi Ley is better. But still it isnt a good song for the golden age of turkey's eurovision history.

How is Unicorn a masterpiece? Is everything okay at home? There is absolutely zero melody, the drums cause nausea and the lyrics are undisputedly the worst in Eurovision history.

Respect to You for actually having the strength to make a list like this. Knowing have many outright HORRIBLE songs this contest have produced( I would file at least 10 songs every year under: Unbearable listening). Then again I do have a Tendency to pick favorites that end up in the bottom 3 (Spain,Belgium(1983,)Turkey(1989), France (2008 & 2022) And Norway(1984 & 2024). These " Bottoms" would probably all be on my Top50 BESTof ESC. So going back to yr 50 Worst of list. 🤩 I do agree with you (one third I can't even remember 😶😆)at least 49 of them. Still glad you list this though. Coz I had completely forgotten about this, but looking it up now, I completely changed by view. (so yet another top bottoms for my best of list) totally Talking about yr nr.25 : Odd Børre "Stress" ( actually the orchestration alone is better than some entire finals from the early 90s. it also introduced aspects of humor to ESC. That combined with its dead pan delivery, lyrically word playing & sung in Norwegian,. Altogether sounding like a heartfelt Tribute to Stress, Valium & Sleeping Pills, 🧭🤪🙃
