One funny thing here is that you have successfully created a double paradigm. The first one is pretty obvious you say an opinion with a question mark, which may mean irony, may mean that it's a real question (not as likely though), but it can also and more likely mean that it's so obvious, as a da-question. On the second statement you may mean, that you can either agree with my opinion (first line), or that you agree that I'm thinking too much about it (second line). Due to your subscription: I go with Irony and first line. :)

[@ebhae199]

Best List: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpK5dGpqg9l7naM ESC Channel: kzbin.info/door/riBIxZC8b0X9EWkA_sJoKQ I would say your opinion is more uncommon than mine, maybe just because you understand the language.

[@jamesshunt5123]

Supreme Lord of the Dark World Never mind the chorus (one line of the song) , even if you don't understand a single word the song itself is just incredibly repetitive and bland. There's no great hook, no change of key, no memorable lines, no finesse, nothing. It's not bad, it's not good. It's just so middle-of-the-road bland. It's ironic Yugoslavia won with one of their worst entries because they had several decent songs and a few good ones over the years. "You can't critisize one line from the song if you don't understand the rest of it." Yes, you can because it's judged by the music first and foremost. And listen, I very much doubt the rest of the lyrics were in the Bob Dylan class of lyrics. And while commercial success perhaps isn't the most fair way to judge the quality of music one can easily make the argument that the Eurovision mostly appeals to a "commercial crowd" (and has received both a lot of deserved and undeserved flak for it). Unlike most other of these winners listed here Yugoslavia's 1989 ESC winner was a commercial flop everywhere else but in Yugoslavia. What I'm trying to say is that it didn't chart anywhere in Europe. And from what I've read the band didn't last very long in Yugoslavia either and split up after two years. Johnny Logan's 1987 winner was number 1 in two countries and number 2 in four another countries. It was a top-10 hit in 11 European countries. Celine Dion charted in 6 countries. Italy's 1990 winner charted in 8 countries. I never liked the 1991 Swedish winner either but at least it charted in 6 European countries. Linda Martin's 1992 winner for Ireland charted in 8 countries. I can go on. Before you judge me I'll say that I consider Estonia's 2001 winner the worst, closely followed by Latvia's 2002 winner. They nearly killed the ESC altogether. Azerbaizdjan's 2011 winner should never have won but it wasn't bad. Never liked Russia's 2008 winner even though Dima Bilan has a lot of talent and charisma as an artist.

First I have to make one thing clear. The only song I really hate on this list is No: 1, all the other songs I can easily respect that other people likes. But I like when songs have a big variation and has a clear structure with different verses. Therefore I can not ignore a song that does the exact same thing three times with just one small stick between the 2nd and third. That is just to much laziness for me.

[@lucianozurich]

#10 Ireland 1993 = YES I cannot remember this song. Not unpleasant but very old style. Not really a fan of it. #9 Sweden 1991 = YES awful song. France had a beautiful song, they got the same result, the same score of 12 points but eventually the worst one won #8 Israel 1978 = NOOO are you kidding? This song was amazing. Don’t forget that in the seventies and eighties, all songs had the same style. Didn’t age well but it was perfect for the last 70s. Sound quality was bad because has been filmed 40 years ago. If the singing is unclear for you it’s because they sang in Hebrew, it’s not “mumble”, is a language. #7 Ireland 1980 = YES I agree, very boring song, Johnny Logan won again some years later with a much better song #6 United Kingdom 1997 = NOOOO I TOTALLY DISAGREE with your choice. One of the most iconic winners in Eurovision’s history. She repeats herself and the choir is always similar? Welcome to Eurovision! Nobody cares about the lyrics, 90% are simple and cheesy. #5 Yugoslavia 1989 = YES, YES you are right, probably one the worsted winners in Eurovision’s history. #4 The Netherlands 1975 = NO, NO I TOTALLY DISAGREE! This song is a legend in Eurovision’s History. Don’t forget it was in the middle of the seventies, this was Eurovision’s style. Same feeling as Israel ranked #8. #3 Israel 1998 = NO, NO, WHY? Don’t touch Dana International. You probably ignore that the most passionate Eurovision’s fans are gays. Dana is not a woman, she was the first transgender winning the competition. #2 Latvia 2002= YES not my favorite #1 Azerbaijan 2011 = YES not my favorite either

Thank you for a valued comment. I kind of regret my comment on Diva because I didn´t really reflect about that she/he? (Wich one is it) were Trans. (My mom told me so, but she said it so fast that I didn´t thought about what that mean) And I can respect that she takes so much space to spread the great message even though I in general hates self focused people. The number 10 is like I said my least worst since 1970 and I have always thought about it as a (in general) song that is on the bottom half of ESC winners. Maybe I´m wrong.

[@lawenda-prowansalska5450]

Tastes are not wrong or right. They are different, that's all. And there is absolutely nothing wrong or right about being gay, straight, trans or whatever. That's the way you were born. Dana's being transsexual does not make her songs better or worse just like my favourite songs are not better or worse just because they are performed by gay or straight people. You sing with your vocal chords, not with your sex. My remark about Dana was just a joke. By the way, I just have realized that only 4 items in my all-time ESC top 10 are winners, the highest placed one being ranked 3rd. Just another proof that not all winning songs are the most impressive ones.

[@ebhae199]

What I regret was not my placement of Diva, what I regret was my comment. "Please use it to sing instead of being sexy..." and "Because I dislike when people are just self focused." I should at least have framed it different. But my placement would have bin the same.

[@lawenda-prowansalska5450]

Personally, I do not see anything improper in your comment. And I dislike people singing about 'me, myself and I' all the time, either. This is, among other things, why the Italian song was my favourite ESC entry this year; it is about our society, not about how the lyricist feels.

Mmm quite good choices! I m very close to agree with you. If you replaced Israel 1998 with Estonia 2001, would be almost perfect. Although since you are a Swede, I have to say that I 'd easily see your "Take me to your heaven" and "Digiloo digilei" here instead of "dig a dong" and "what's an other year". Also Ireland's "why me" should be here as it's by far their worst winner. To complete detailed perfection I might also replace Israel 1978 with Israel 1979 or Russia 2008. But generally your only real "mistakes" are [1] to include "Diva" which is indeed a bit irratating but also a catchy banger and a fabulous hisyorical moment and [2] to exclude Estonia's supercrap wich is probably the worst of the worst. I think it would be my number 1.

JCH Walthamstow having different opinions is not a problem, the problem is when people like you don’t understand it.

[@DeArteCombinatoria]

1993 is literally my favorite of all 71 winners. 1975 is 6th and 1980 is 9th. Why haven't you included 1983, 1979 and 2006 on this list??

[@cloudyswildride]

Yesss 1993 is amazing... the no that was said when this video opened on Niamh Kavanagh. 😂

[@Lily_Yas]

Ukraine 2016???

[@ebhae199]

A copy passed answer. Jamala is one of the songs I like to listen to the least but I decided to be immune from this list, because it´s a impressive way of singing that I´ve never heard before (even if it´s repeating as hell) and therefor I can not fairly criticize it without feeling like a evil person. Also I like the English verses. Hope you check out my new list of ESC songs of the 50s and 60s and subscribe to either me or my ESC channel if you like these kinds of commented lists.

[@EREJones]

Fair enough assessment. "Rock me Baby" must've been a really weak year

[@linpet99]

My top 10 01 2009 02 2008 03 2002 04 2001 05 2004 06 2005 07 2015 08 1980 09 2006 10 1984

[@marylenehan7510]

your saying the Irish Eurovision song was to old school that was the type of music back then.

[@ebhae199]

No I'm saying that I have no dam clue why I dislike it.

[@marsukarhu9477]

No "Heroes"? It's the worst winner of all-time... I just hate that song and all the fakery in the performance, yikes!

[@dubbelhenke854]

Its very bad. A lousy song.

[@richln9682]

This was going pretty well I reckon until Diggyloo Diggy*******ley failed to materialise at number 1.

[@CrackPi]

Riva’s lyrics maybe stupid but first the music is AMAZING. And second, the fact the Yugoslavia won just “seconds” before the bloody war is so, idk, but when I hear this happy song with the knowledge of why happens just 2 years later is such an emotional roller coaster. That true for the arguably better song the Yugoslavia sent next year, it adds such an emotional layer to the silly song. And maybe I shouldn’t judge the song by things that happen later but I can’t. Also we have to remember this was the first Eurovision after the fall of The Berlin Wall. So I guess a fun and optimistic song was just what European needed at that point. And for that Rock me baby was perfect. It’s was the perfect for the time. Also it’s so poetic that it’s from a communist country (although not Stalinist) so it really is the perfect song for the time. Edit: About Dive I guess you aren’t queer. If so you can’t understand the importance of this song. Also yesterday I watched esc 2011 out of boredom. And and still, 12 years later I shouted at the TV When Azerbaijan won. It’s so STUPID. Lena should have when for the second time!!!!

[@terhiheino3593]

1989 Eurovision was not after the fall of Berlin wall. Diva was a fun, and there were little bit camp, song and it was perfect be a winner of Eurovision. Today ESC is so serious and boring.

[@katrin.iceland.universe]

You have completely different taste, but I respect it. But I am surprised as well. Ireland 1993 is the best Irish winner for me. I agree with Sweden 1991 and Yugoslavia 1989, but the worst winners for me are: Ireland 1992, Ireland 1996 and above all Spain 1968!

[@dubbelhenke854]

Agree with most of them. Although there are others even worse IMO. The unmelodic fashion/light shows crap from the last decade for example. And Finland 2006. 😢

[@stevengornall934]

You call Johnny Logans song old school cus yeah it was the fucking 80s barely even the 80s at that point, and Niamh Kavanagh doesnt wail she sings honestly shes one of the best 90s winners

[@naborrodriguezdieguez7758]

Hola, un saludo desde España. Te dejo las que me gustan mas. :Irlanda 1980, U.K 1997, Holanda 1975, Israel 1998, Letonia 2002,

[@Espanolei113]

Fine I know you dislike 2002 Latvia but idk what’s your problem with her, yeah the song isn’t the best lyrics aren’t the best but still it’s interasting

[@tomhesenth]

10. 9/10 9. 8/10 8. 7/10 7. 8.5/10 6. 7/10 5. 6.5/10 4. 6.5/10 3. 6/10 2. 6/10 1. 6/10

[@paweloelo]

for me the worst winner is 2017

[@sandrogigi5666]

I disagree with every song except sweden 1999. This are the best songs ever! Your opinion but this was a weird choise

[@Dim4323]

Johnny Logan he is eurovision loyalty

[@Soulis.Sergiou]

Im from a different universe and in our universe sylvia night won! Ahah

[@eurovisioninspace]

The worst winners for me are Estonia 2001, Russia 2008, Germany 2010 and, of course, Azerbaijan 2011. Latvia 2002 was a bop and also one of the most game changing performances if you look at the 2003-2005 winners.

[@Vasil.Kostadinov_official]

I unironically like Russia 2008 and Estonia 2001. My favourite winner is in 2017 ofc ❤️❤️❤️

[@Dim4323]

1989 Uk should've won it, maybe it was a slow year, even the singer of live report was not happy

[@Uffysagasyidk]

Latvia 2002 seems similar to gold from loi lol

[@cherryvodka9621]

10. Really like it 9. I agree, généric. France should have won, especially since they had the same number of votes 8. I did not realize the mic problem, this is the only Israël winner I appreciate tbf 7. Agree on it being overrated 6. Same as above this is plain. 5. I could be the only one who love it then 😅 I find it very uplifting 4. UK should have won 3. Agree 2. Still better than Estonia the year before 1. Haha love how you cut without argumentation

[@Dim4323]

And 1998 with Were are you

[@animecontortionist8128]

Same thing with The 2nd song from Israel

[@zdskillz849]

Your just picking on the UK and Ireland ones

[@ebhae199]

7 and 5 victories.

[@zdskillz849]

EBHAE Good point. I didn’t think of that.

[@marylenehan7510]

i agree!!!!

[@amigos2841]

Well we all have our own opinions but personally i lived Ireland 1980 and 1993 and Israel 1978, plus ding a dong is a banger

[@theofficialdetectivepikach3262]

WHY IS CAROLA HERE

[@jonnyvandenbruel5769]

People become happy when you say good things about their country, their songs, their singers, their victories of their favorite winner(s) or entrees. Everybody is so different. And it's possible you really loved a song in 1972, but today you don't like it anymore. It's sometimes dangerous to say what you 'hate'. It can make people sad or angry. Maybe I'm the only one in the world who really doesn't like 'Poupée de cire, poupée de son (Lux 65) and Satellite (D 10). More people understand me when I say I don't like 'Rock me' (YU 89), 'Hard rock hallelujah' (FIN 06) and 'Running scared' (AZ 11). But I love from the same countries: 'Blackbird' (FIN 17), 'Où sont-elles passées' (LUX 64), 'Im Wartesaal zum grossen Glück' (D 56), 'Dan Ljiubezni' (YU 75) and 'Drip drop' (AZ 09).

[@pn2360]

you think you're the only one who hates satellite?? that song has a literal hate club with at least 1 million members (of which i'm defo not a member of, it's my 8th favourite song of all time lol, but it has a LOT of haters)

[@duckydodo1123]

How can you criticise Ireland 1993 for being screams and then not have turkey 2003 on here at all? If you want to talk about out of pitch and screaming to hit notes out of her vocal range then that’s the one…….

[@ptitchat5380]

You forgot one of the worst eurovision winners. Lena with Satellite...

[@rukiyedegilrukiyye7408]

P'tit Merdeux totally agree.

[@ThinkAboutVic]

Agree. maNga - We Could Be The Same should have won that year.

[@elj955]

The song wasn’t that bad, though. I don’t think it deserved to win, especially over Turkey, but I don’t think it was that bad either

[@chitradevi5649]

👍

[@jesemepardens9151]

P'tit Merdeux oh come on, she did send a greater song the next year which should have won instead and quite frankly, Satellite is far from being the worst

[@capitacaldera02]

I agree you except for Israel (both songs are wonderful hits an they are remembered still today) und Sweden

[@ebhae199]

Israel x2, the third one wasn't that far away either. On Dana I don't really like my comments. Prefer these ones: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJjJknqom5iAgNE

[@miguelaclopes]

Amazing comments. But you should have included Norways f___ing childish and meaningless Fairytale by "Justin" Rybak .

[@ebhae199]

It was battling over it, but it got better with many listenings. Still in my bottom 15 and you bet quite some request it on the best list. My ESC channel with as amazing comments: kzbin.info/door/riBIxZC8b0X9EWkA_sJoKQ

[@Vasil.Kostadinov_official]

Shut up 2009 is good!

[@kimonmarsellos2347]

I have to completely disagree with you… when judging a song on if its a good winner or not you have to consider when it won and its competitors, not if it would do well now or how repetitive it is…

[@zdskillz849]

YEEESSS!! AZERBAIJAN WORST!!! FINALLY SOMEONE AGREES WITH ME!!!

[@ebhae199]

You've seen this list before but yes I do. Laughter. If you've missed it, I also have a separate Eurovision channel.

[@zdskillz849]

EBHAE What’s the name of the other channel?

[@ebhae199]

ZD SKILLZ: ESC Mixed.

[@elmiralakbarli5265]

Mate they deserved it earlier eurovision is pure politics

[@ingrima4220]

You forgot Estonia 2001... I mean...what the actual fuck.

[@Soulis.Sergiou]

A ba ni bi is good
