Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 in Eurovision Song Contest (2008-2024)

[@sandstrano9107]

Azerbaijan is like that one student you didn’t expect to do so well in the beginning but then they got overconfident and starting developing bad habits.

[@TumbleTower]

Well last year, Azerbaijan tried entering a a 1960s style British rock ‘n’ roll song; similar to what The Beatles, Marmalade and The Dave Clark Five used to produce, but with rap thrown in for good measure. The Eurovision 2023 song I'm referring to is “Tell Me More” by TuralTuranX. Look what happened to that; it failed to qualify for the final.

[@petitepastequeuwu7876]

Because they do anything, but at least this year they sang in Azeri but they really have to make an effort.

[@TumbleTower]

Why withdraw after just 2 DNQs? The Netherlands had 8 conecutive DNQs 2005 to 2012 inclusive, but still came back in 2013, and made it to the final with "Birds". Georgia, Latvia and Ireland failed to qualify for several consecutive years each, but they all kept going and finally they all made it to the final this year.

Azerbaijan is a strong country but I feel like a lot of their songs were very generic, Swedish-sounding pop songs. I love how they finally embraced their language in 2024 and sent a more Azerbaijani entry. Hopefully they continue this trend and do better next year.

Our song this year is pretty good for an Azerbaijani. But we need to understand this, we must send songs that Europe will like, not for ourselves.If we continue to adapt it to ourselves, we will see the last place next year.

No. Keep representing your culture and singing in your language! More countries need to do that. That's what Eurovision is about.

[@nirvanass23]

@@x_n_x_gal9161 Of course we should do that, but rather the kind that Europe might like.This year's song was good at presenting our language and culture, but it was weak. We can come to a good place with a song like in 2008 and 2019 or with a more upbeat song. But thanks 🙏🏻

My qualifiers and non-qualifiers of Azerbaijan in eurovision 🇦🇿 (Since 2004): OBS: I'll leave the automatic qualifiers as automatic qualifiers even if the country hadn't been my choice to win in the previous year or wasn't high for me in the semi-final format from 2004-2007, since as the entry did not face the semi-finals that year, it would be difficult for me to imagine a situation of these entries in the semi-final *New semi-final format (2008-Current) 2008: Non-qualifier ❌ 2009: Qualified ✅ 2010: Qualified ✅ 2011: Qualified ✅ 2012: Automatic qualifier ➖ 2013: Qualified ✅ 2014: Qualified ✅ 2015: Qualified ✅ 2016: Qualified ✅ 2017: Qualified ✅ 2018: Non-qualifier ❌ 2019: Non-qualifier ❌ 2020: Qualified ✅ (If 2020 had happened) 2021: Qualified ✅ 2022: Qualified ✅ 2023: Non-qualifier ❌ 2024: Non-qualifier ❌ My opinions about the country in eurovision: A country that unfortunately has seen its quality of entries drop a lot in these two years (and it's all Eli's fault, he definitely wants to be Azerbaijan's only winning entry) I imagine if they had chosen Aisel this year with her song "Game of chess" they would definitely be Qualified, because I saw the whole song and really loved it, I and all Azerbaijanis hope that Eli will not be able to choose next year's representative, because his choices over the past two years have been horrible, We just hope it gets better next year (And that Aisel comes back 🥲)

[@ESCFan-we7xi]

I am sorry to see how Azerbaijan, a country that in the late 2000s and until the mid-2010s really knew what Eurovision was and was considered one of the professionals, is now sharply surrendering its positions with the exception of 2015, 2019 and 2021 with more worthy songs. I really like the songs from 2012 and 2013, which (in my opinion) are many times better than "Running Scared". Why didn't the country win with songs like these? I wish that Azerbaijan will radically change its method of choosing songs to return to the final and prove the worth of its songs.
