[@nosequeponer745]

So, in your opinion Maneskin is not a winner but Loreen yes? WTF

[@roi_de_trefle5001]

Whats wrong with it? it’s just an other opinion.

[@AlexandrosValavanis]

Yes to both

[@wwng2629]

Is the concept of an opinion that difficult to grasp?

[@ZertuzOipo]

Måneskin=Great Winner Loreen= Good Song but Käärijä should’ve won

[@RobiePAX]

@@roi_de_trefle5001 I think the point he's making that it was one of the most divided Eurovisions where people had a fan favorite. So much that the winner Sweden even acknowledged it with a joke next year and let him perform during the final. But in this video that's about "people's choice" didn't even mention it.

[@AlekseyNekhayev]

Absolutely agree with Keiino "Spirit in the Sky"... and Baby Lasagna!

[@larseirikfodnes4361]

I'm gonna guess you didn't see the whole final in 2023. There was this song called Cha Cha Cha. It was somewhat popular, maybe check it out?

[@themist7450]

Croatia should have won this year 😢

[@nizamaddinisrafilli7836]

I think in 1999 Croatia with the song Maria Magdalena should have won❤

[@g__e__o]

This music and Doris Dragovic lives rent free in my head

[@jeannyxy9991]

Totally agree with you 👍🏻

[@mr.georgios4967]

Maria Magdalena is a masterpiece

[@anteglibota9411]

Totally the best song of the year

[@corto7820]

Can you imagine Croatia host New millennium, 2000 ESC edition?! NO, let give it to Sweden and to one of the most forgettable songs in history of ESC.

3 MORE WINS FOR GREECE??? Im absolutely flattered neighbor!

[@EbuChiLL]

Dude we love greeks

[@aristotelisoikonomou8514]

Well i am not sure that Kaiti Garbi deserved to be the winner of 1993 ,sure she deserved to have a higher place than 9th ! But i am sure that Cleopatra in 1992 , Antique in 2001 ,maybe Sakis Rouvas in 2004 and Kalomoira in 2008 deserved to be the winners !!! And for Turkey Manga in 2010 deserved to be the winners !!

[@salihyeneraltiner46]

I don't like Greece, but the truth is that Greece has been treated unfairly here

[@aleksandarflorschutz4481]

Maneskin was absolutely great, idk how on earth you find The Roop song better.

[@justinio8450]

I accept all of them, but I cannot accept that Eleni Fureira (Fuego) came second

You forgot Love is Blue, the true winner 1967

[@rakura926]

POV: you're Swedish. 2023 was Finland that won!

[@lauravalentine123]

The real winner of 2024 CROATIA❤❤🇭🇷

[@user-rc5ck9sh1w]

But they took it from Rammstein, it's pure plagiarism.

[@user-rc5ck9sh1w]

So they should not be on eurovision at all with this song

[@TheTorturedPoetsDepartment11ts]

It's Israel

[@keahnig164]

As a Swiss, yes. I don't like our song that much. (Still glad we won after 36 years tho...)

[@yesimkirdar3160]

@@user-rc5ck9sh1w Rammstein would be so proud if they could match the melody and memorability of the Croatian song ! 🤣🤣

[@mac15011]

1994... WHAT!? POLAND should be won instead Ireland. Thank you.

[@iankirillin7285]

Hungary...

[@yesimkirdar3160]

I agree with almost all of these. Great compilation, well done...

Can someone explain to me how Eleni Foureira(Fuego 2018) didn’t won?

[@johannaxd]

YOU FORGOT CHA x3 , true winner of 2023!

[@edwardperkins8317]

Sam Ryder with Spaceman United Kingdom 2022 Entrant should of won The Eurovision Song Contest in 2022 if it wasn't for The War between Ukraine and Russia. But still The United Kingdom did still get to host The Eurovision Song Contest in 2023 on behalf of Ukraine because of the War in Russia.

[@BadSpring]

I love Sam so much. I'm from the UK. But I still hold Ukraine 2022 much higher!

[@xavi1684]

This is a matematic mistake. If wasnt for t'he war, points would go in the same ranking, and Spain won much more points than UK in televote. Spain would have won

[@ChrolliForever]

Why IS this horrible Song and Performance so beloved???

[@ayrenbethancourt9379]

Or Chanel with "Slo mo"❤

[@Antyoksydantka85]

Someone explain me the phenomenon of Baby Lasagna and what is so special about his song that he should have won

[@mr.georgios4967]

In 2001 I think that Greece should have won. And in 2005 Israel.

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Amazing!!! ❤

[@DiegoFranco571]

Estonia and Latvia are so underrared in the history of eurovision

[@dianabialaskahansen2972]

Some I agree on, others I do not.

[@ChrolliForever]

Blue johnny blue was so robbed!!! I always got tears when I hear it! Someone else think so?

[@shovkovskyi]

because you're turkish, it doesn't surprise me to see so many Balkan/Mediterranean countries as your choice for the winners, especially in 21st century

[@Werderina]

I agree so much with your winner of 2017 Francesco Gabbani ❤

[@johansvahn3798]

Greece should’ve won in 2020 if there would’ve been a contest ❤️🇬🇷

[@LadyArachnea]

I agree with you on many points 🤗🤗

[@Bandido894]

2016 Should be Australia, what a performance and the song! 1999 is one of Sweden's worst winners, it's like pro gradu cut/paste of Swedish schlagers. 😆

[@basmeisters3]

Very funny how I can agree on most and totally disagree on some of your choices. Like 1973 and 1991, when I did not like the winner and you did. In the end I think that every winner was the right choice.

[@JudgeJudith]

Good picks. Love Norway 2020

[@duygufrtna7009]

2011 Azerbaycan evet çok iyiydi ama "daha iyisi yoktu" demek Eric Saade'ye biraz haksızlık olmuyor mu? 😊

[@janedoe3167]

Ciao dall'Italia!! Io sono ancora triste e arrabbiata perche' la canzone dell'Azerbaijan in Malmoe 2024 meritava, era bellissima, cantata bene, molto malinconica 🥰🥰🥰🥰 ma non e' arrivata al Gran Final 😔

Kalomina in 2008 was amazing

[@riavandevelde443]

I liked Portugal much more ❤❤

[@Mspachi3]

Good job and everybody has their own taste but don’t agree about 2017 Portugal win. That song was the best. It still is on my playlist.. Also Maneskin was the best.. For me, the biggest dissapointment was Satellite’s win over Manga.. ‘We could be the same’ was the best of the best.. That was a shame..

Real winner Baby Lasagna

[@RelaxCreatorMary]

I was thinking, who on earth who like this year's croatia to vote it? But I see you find it so good?

[@nobody15470]

Actually its the best song in many people eyes and you would see it would remain as of the songs that will gain masive listening and viewings count as like snap is now number 2 in the charts of most listened and is the only song since 2000 to get on US The Billboard Top 100 at 67 place but it was at 20th place in 2022 at eurovision

[@eduardoj3314]

Eres tu from Mocedades from Spain should havewon the year it competed. It has become annathem in all spanish speakinkg countries. Also I think Israel’s Toy was by far the best and most inovative song that year!

[@casillasricardo]

In 1973 the song Eres Tu by Mocedades from Spain should’ve won instead of that french song 😥

[@user-uh7wj9lc1s]

Last year the best song was "You can't break a broken heart from Cyprus, I agree about 1979 ,1993, 2001, 2006 or Tornero,2017,2018 ,2024, I disagree about 2013,2014,2015,2016,2019,2023, "Only teardrops " and 1994- Jamala was two of the bests songs in the history of the contest

[@fionabennett170]

[@ReuPortPsy]

i’m sorry, but y’all are coping SO HARD if you think anyone but Portugal 2017 deserved the win. it got both the most jury votes and televotes and ended up with the most points OF ALL TIME.

[@nobody15470]

It was pure simphaty but i do not agree with their pick either as i love the song from Salvador i thing Kostov deserved the win more and yeah 2017 as a whole was wild most points alltogether to winner and runner up in the history of ESC as Kostov still holds more points than most of thr winner since 2017 only Ukraine in 2022 passed him but they took almost the maximum possible televotes with more than 430 points from 450 or something like this 😅

[@domckey7922]

Worst winner in the last decade, I will never understand it. But that's just me

[@ReuPortPsy]

@@nobody15470 “pure sympathy” PROCEEDS TO GET MOST VOTES OF ALL TIME mate, it gets to a point where you have to think “damn, this guy must at least have SOME talent”
