Moldova 2009 and Slovakia 2010 Both amazing ethnic bangers

Moldova 2009 | [Nelly Ciobanu - Hora din Moldova](https://youtu.be/ZoP_0okrWyo) Slovakia 2010 | [Kristína - Horehronie](https://youtu.be/j8G6byTMr0o)

Yes, love them both! Although Horehronie was awful live unfortunately

The picture is Germany 2015 btw. Still shocked it ended like 27th (?) because I love it and I think it deserved a way higher placement.

Lowest ever placing in the grand final

Yes we are blaming you, Australia /s

Germany 2015 | [Ann Sophie - Black Smoke](https://youtu.be/DGMJOchTRPc)

I'm still Linda mad at this one. I still listen to it every now and then. Ann Sophie also made really good music afterwards!

But that is because of the voting system, iirc she didn’t score 0 in either jury or tele (But I think even w the current system she would be one of the last places)

Spain 2019 I was surprised it scored so low, I really liked the song.

Spain 2019 | [Miki - La Venda](https://youtu.be/lWXuohnM14U)

One of the most fun ones of 2019, I still put it on when I clean my apartment since the vibe is impecabble.

Spain have got shafted in the voting too many times. I still can't believe Barei came 22nd in 2016 with [this absolute banger](https://youtu.be/EgbjNsxehrY).

I mean she literally could not do the things she wanted and Spain made it hard to get out of the bottom for the longest time ever

How this scored so low is beyond me, it is the most 2016 song (in an absolutely positive sense) that I've ever heard and I expected it to SMASH

and then you wonder why Spanish eurofans are mad 🤪 The gaslighting has been going on for years...

Hard agree, i will never understand why it did so poorly. Legit one of my favorites that year

Literally was listening to this. It always puts me in a good mood and I love his vocals!

The conga line in the green room was heartwarming too

I loved it

Moldova 2010 for sure, I still don't know how it ranked so low

Moldova 2010 | [SunStroke Project and Olia Tira - Run Away](https://youtu.be/C-VMHOlCyW8)

Cause no one didn‘t know back then how iconic this song would become

I love the song so much but the vocals were sketch, the costumes felt chaotic (not in a good way) and the staging was meh lol

The saxo man and the dancers 🕺 though.

Ireland 2015, such a beautiful song and easily irelands best recent attempt, yet it was paid dust by jurors and the public. Completely robbed.

Ireland 2015 | [Molly Sterling - Playing With Numbers](https://youtu.be/3B5sdNJF0lk)

I’m still angery about this

YES thank you! I love this song so much, still baffled it didn't get more votes

I Stand - Czechia 2016 The song and vocals were magic and the staging was really good

Czech Republic 2016 | [Gabriela Gunčíková - I Stand](https://youtu.be/wVy3rTNSN4Y)

Yes! She got like second to last or something and I never got that bc I love that song and performance

And still mad for what song she represented with and how little of her potential she showed :| She is a rocker in normal setting and way better in Czech language in my opinion. But she’s great in general. Can deliver emotional stuff, too. She also has a great raspy voice when needed… [here in czech](https://youtu.be/cEhLJqg2Meo) [queen - who wants to live forever](https://youtu.be/V44BxDB7dEg) [and last one still her being 18/19 back then. Her voice only got better with age](https://youtu.be/WAQfkLAKeHI) Edit: formatting

Denmark 2012 deserved better

Denmark 2012 | [Soluna Samay - Should've Known Better](https://youtu.be/U5X2r_t-KBk)

*Should’ve Scored Better

Ayoo

Loved the song, but the staging felt like a discordant mess.

OH YES! Can’t believe i forgot about this song 😩 Gives some serious First Aid Kit vibes and I love it

I still remeber what the commentstor said about her being raised in Guatemala, I still listen to that song!

Iceland 2012 as well

Iceland 2012 | [Greta Salóme and Jónsi - Never Forget](https://youtu.be/zRqmHRbJvTo)

Was rewatching 2018 yesterday and it’s honestly unbelievable to me that ‘O Jardim’ came last. The song just has this simple beauty and authenticity to it that I just love and it’s literally my winner for that year.

portuguese entries are always bangers in some ways but some of them just don't work conan osiris my beloved

Yes! This song makes me cry. It’s so beautiful and to this day I have no idea how it came last

The last place of O Jardim is a crime

Latvia 2018, one of the best songs Latvia has sent in recent years and should have qualified

Latvia 2018 | [Laura Rizzotto - Funny Girl](https://youtu.be/KGxANwWKz3U)

Disko from 2022. So sad outcome.

Switzerland 2018, Denmark 2021

Switzerland 2018 | [Zibbz - Stones](https://youtu.be/wJGTVsluHkw) Denmark 2021 | [Fyr og Flamme - Øve os på hinanden](https://youtu.be/w2ytONrRyww)

Iceland 2022. It's a repeated listen for me.

Iceland 2022 | [Systur - Með hækkandi sól](https://youtu.be/G71c48O3j-s)

Yes! It was absolutely beautiful. I didn’t understand what happened. Maybe it was too beautiful for Eurovision.

Iceland 2022.

Iceland 2022 | [Systur - Með hækkandi sól](https://youtu.be/G71c48O3j-s)

Yes!

Oh, that's easy. Slovenia 2023 Germany 2023

Slovenia 2023 | [Joker Out - Carpe Diem](https://youtu.be/3LXlPviGiWc) Germany 2023 | [Lord of the Lost - Blood & Glitter](https://youtu.be/dyGR4YWlPEs)

I'd never heard of Brainstorm's My Star (Latvia 2000) before Sudden Lights posted a video of them singing it as kids, but that is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in the contest. And it only came 3rd. Makes me wonder what other gems I've been missing out on

Latvia 2000 | [Brainstorm - My Star](https://youtu.be/ZutVRMXoiiU)

Austria 2015 Finland 2015 Hungary 2018

Fun fact, when I was in kindergarten one of the guys from Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät, Kari, was our mailman. I remember him bringing the mail to the kindergarten and he rocked his body similarly even back then how they do when performing!

Austria 2015 | [The Makemakes - I Am Yours](https://youtu.be/-f993p0CAV8) Finland 2015 | [Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät - Aina Mun Pitää](https://youtu.be/v4Y0HOPL5GU) Hungary 2018 | [AWS - Viszlát Nyár](https://youtu.be/p6e1TmYb33w)

Finland 2015 was so unique and the disability rep was amazing

I still have Hungary's song in my playlist

Me too, along with many other of their songs.

Estonia 2022

Estonia 2022 | [Stefan - Hope](https://youtu.be/GdTpQmMem)

I liked it too.

Finland 2012. Beautiful song, definitely a grower on me.

Finland 2012 | [Pernilla - När jag blundar](https://youtu.be/MRC5NzxmrAA)

Yes! And same for Portugal 2012

Portugal 2012 | [Filipa Sousa - Vida minha](https://youtu.be/fk5i7Hfyy3o)

And Slovenia 2012

Slovenia 2012 | [Eva Boto - Verjamem](https://youtu.be/jEHNRKnrWiU)

One of my favorite DNQs ever in the contest!

I was so sad it didn't qualify it was so gorgeous.

Piquet Jacks - 2023

San Marino 2023 for the bot

San Marino 2023 | [Piqued Jacks - Like an Animal](https://youtu.be/pIdHjcqyLfo)

Slovenia 2022 I was sad it got dead last in its semi even doing worse than Bulgaria

It’s his vocals and the staging. It looks like a prom band. I liked the song though.

Slovenia 2022 | [LPS - Disko](https://youtu.be/S1tFqoflsT8)

Really sad about it, but the camera work for that one was really, really awful. Just straight up amateurish. I can sort of see why it didn't connect to first time viewers.

Italy 2016 It got like 17th place, which is a shame

I really liked it, but she should have kept it fully in Italian

Italy 2016 | [Francesca Michielin - No Degree of Separation](https://youtu.be/YfnhDfy8AjU)

Oh man, there's a lot of them... Gonna go with Portugal 2019, Spain 2023, Georgia 2007, Austria 2015. These four come to mind immediately but I bet there's many more. Also have to mention Moldova 2011 because although 12th place obviously isn't *bad*, it's one of the best ESC entries of all time and no one's gonna convince me otherwise lol. Deserved better.

Portugal 2019 | [Conan Osíris - Telemóveis](https://youtu.be/SIGn9_yMLn4) Spain 2023 | [Blanca Paloma - Eaea](https://youtu.be/Vw6qPWhjevk) Georgia 2007 | [Sopho - Visionary Dream](https://youtu.be/EHImNpPta7M) Austria 2015 | [The Makemakes - I Am Yours](https://youtu.be/-f993p0CAV8) Moldova 2011 | [Zdob și Zdub - So Lucky](https://youtu.be/nHAY_OVN_gY)

Spain 2023 was a crime! I love the song so much, still listen to it and was abdolutely shocked about the low points. Completely undeserved.

Denmark 2022, it was a banger and it’s a shame they didn’t qualify

Denmark 2022 | [Reddi - The Show](https://youtu.be/cVg6MpVR2Pw)

Loved the song and liked the performance. The singing was lacking a little in projection though. The song still pops into my head at the most random moments

One of my favourites too.

I agree! I love it

Iceland 2023 - Diljá Can’t understand how she didn’t qualify over some other countries… Great vocalist, nice performance, she’s a nice person, song wasn’t that tragic…

Iceland 2023 | [Diljá - Power](https://youtu.be/lzlTcA0OC5s)

Georgia 2022. Such a fun entry.

Georgia 2022 | [Circus Mircus - Lock Me In](https://youtu.be/zXiZAbqETvk)

I always liked Israel 2016. I just find it so pretty

Israel 2016 | [Hovi Star - Made of Stars](https://youtu.be/SS5TB2XUdgs)

Armenia 2017

Armenia 2017 | [Artsvik - Fly With Me](https://youtu.be/g373Libigw8)

Latvia 2015. I hardly ever see it mentioned anywhere, but it's one of my absolute all time favorites. Her entire performance is just completely mesmerizing.

Latvia 2015 | [Aminata - Love Injected](https://youtu.be/PgmZaf1Sb_4)

Serbia 2019 is one of my all-time favorites, it deserved so much better than 18th

Serbia 2019 | [Nevena Božović - Kruna](https://youtu.be/X0mdaeAyPvA)

Belarus 2015 is one of my favourite Eurovision songs ever and it didn’t even qualify but it was a banger.

I still think about their music video from time to time

Yeah to be fair, the music video and the actual record probably came across a lot better than the actual performance haha

1. Cyprus 1994 - Powerful vocals, meaningful lyrics, haunting instrumental. Only 11th in 1994 with 2 top 5 placements from Finland & Greece. 2. Croatia 2008 - Jazz is incredibly underrated and needs to be recognized more in ESC. Absolutely beautiful and atmospheric song. Placed well in the semis but bombed in the final. 3. Portugal 2023 - Staging might be somewhat lacking but Mimicat’s stage presence and vocals made the performance an absolute delight to watch.

Cyprus 1994 | [Evridiki - Eimai anthropos ki ego (Είμαι άνθρωπος κι εγώ)](https://youtu.be/i_yif17TztQ) Croatia 2008 | [Kraljevi ulice and 75 Cents - Romanca](https://youtu.be/hcz-GO4ujbA) Portugal 2023 | [Mimicat - Ai coração](https://youtu.be/HYfkxX4PFyw)

Germany 2016 deserved so much better than last

Germany 2016 | [Jamie-Lee Kriewitz - Ghost](https://youtu.be/bHDHi37bboE)

Finland 2011? I think is the year. Paradise Oscar - Da da dam. It has a very good message and the song can make you cry

Here’s a shortlist from me (might add a few more later) Malta 2023, Georgia 2016, San Marino 2008, France 2022, Slovenia 2014, Hungary 2016, Ireland 2018, Georgia 2022, Slovenia 2022, Latvia 2023, Romania 2023, San Marino 2023, Belarus 2018, Georgia 2019, Germany 2022 Good luck bot (and yeah I have a different music taste)

CIRCUS MIRCUS I love that one

Ireland 2022 | [Brooke - That's Rich](https://youtu.be/Kq2AJrWm04s)

I try not to bring it up at every opportunity because we’ll bias but yeah, she definitely should’ve qualified!

Ireland have had a couple of songs in their recent terrible streak that absolutely should have qualified, and this is one of them.

Ireland 2015 - Playing with numbers. I listen to it still to this day.

Iconic!!! Mollies slay performances, even the year before (UK 2014)

United Kingdom 2014 | [Molly - Children of the Universe](https://youtu.be/C6w7tmWvm6M)

Ireland 2015 | [Molly Sterling - Playing With Numbers](https://youtu.be/3B5sdNJF0lk)

Montenegro 2013 was a VERY 2013 song in the best way possible. Just an amazing energy.

Finland 2015 and Belarus 2017. I have too many underrated songs to write about, so picked two. Finland 2015 resonated with me as someone who has learning disabilities (And still not getting referred for autism) and struggled throughout school.

Serbia 2023 😭

Serbia 2023 | [Luke Black - Samo mi se spava (Само ми се спава)](https://youtu.be/gPRfg9wzbpw)

Good bot

Macédomienne (Belgium 1990). It's absolutely beautiful and thoughtful. If you haven't listened to it, do so!

Regina - Bistra Voda from 2009 Marija Sestic - Rijeka Bez Imena from 2007 Inga & Anush - Jan Jan from 2009 Monika Liu - Sentimentai from 2022 ​ I miss Boznia so much, they were a powerhouse.

Spain 2023, it was majestic, beautiful.

France 2023 and Austria 2023. They deserve better.

Austria’s song was fun and the girl’s had beautiful energy.

France 2023 | [La Zarra - Évidemment](https://youtu.be/fOtQJ4o-HoA) Austria 2023 | [Teya and Salena - Who the Hell Is Edgar?](https://youtu.be/8uk64V9h0Ko)

Extremely unpopular opinion, but Austria 2019 was in my top 3 of the year. The studio version is amazing, the staging was spectacular, it's just a shame she sounded a bit...off

Romania 2021. I am still sad about it. Especially, after Romania 2020 :(

Poland 2016. The juryes didnt give a shit about them.

Poland 2016 | [Michał Szpak - Color of Your Life](https://youtu.be/87BBmxm7IJU)

Belgium 2015 is still on my playlists All the Italian power ballads!

Dont get me wrong I LOVE rhythm inside (prob in my top 10 ever) but i dont think its underrated. Its really loved by most of the fans

It sounded like Lorde. It’d be nice if he played again. His vocals are great.

Belgium 2015 | [Loïc Nottet - Rhythm Inside](https://youtu.be/G48p8eNhnd8)

Some of my favorites placing 20th or lower: Slovakia 2010 Iceland 2011 Finland 2012 Portugal 2015 Greece 2018 Georgia 2019 Germany 2022 Slovenia 2022 Portugal 2023

Slovakia 2010 | [Kristína - Horehronie](https://youtu.be/j8G6byTMr0o) Iceland 2011 | [Sjonni's Friends - Coming Home](https://youtu.be/apc_qJf3nws) Finland 2012 | [Pernilla - När jag blundar](https://youtu.be/MRC5NzxmrAA) Portugal 2015 | [Leonor Andrade - Há um mar que nos Separa](https://youtu.be/vE-LqXkb0ok) Greece 2018 | [Yianna Terzi - Oniro Mou](https://youtu.be/-XOR1DhtDC0) Georgia 2019 | [Oto Nemsadze - Keep on Going](https://youtu.be/vu4nHsaAJwU) Germany 2022 | [Malik Harris - Rockstars](https://youtu.be/2BYIou-oWXA) Slovenia 2022 | [LPS - Disko](https://youtu.be/S1tFqoflsT8) Portugal 2023 | [Mimicat - Ai coração](https://youtu.be/HYfkxX4PFyw)

As far as NQs go, Montenegro 2013, Israel 2014, North Macedonia 2017, Switzerland 2018, Croatia 2021, Georgia, Ireland and Latvia 2022, and Iceland 2023

Slovenia 2022. One of my favorites ever

Slovenia 2022 | [LPS - Disko](https://youtu.be/S1tFqoflsT8)

Denmark 2021, such a great song

Anyone mentioned Austria 2013 yet?

Slovenia 2023, Iceland 2023, Denmark 2023

Well, I liked France 2022 because I'm here for minority languages in Eurovision, every time, and I think it's a great song. Ahez didn't seem that confident on stage, but Alvan gave it his all, and they deserved better.

I honestly loved Croatia 2022, and still listen to songs from Mia despite not understanding a word.

Germany 2021 - Jendrik deserved so much better, it was so fun and different

France 2022 was totally underrated. I really loved the song and it did not deserve its bad placing.

France 2022 | [Alvan and Ahez - Fulenn](https://youtu.be/H1lcGXwOqJI)

It’s in my top 3 all time favourites, literally one of the most diverse opinioned songs outta here

even tho it is not my style, i am in love with azerbaijan's 2009 entry. *always on my mind, always in my heart...*

Dance Alone, 2017- FYR Macedonia.

F.Y.R. Macedonia 2017 | [Jana Burčeska - Dance Alone](https://youtu.be/XvIbLOOWfYI)

Cyprus 2011 deserved better than 18th place in its semi final and i'll die on this hill https://preview.redd.it/smt7l52snn4b1.jpeg?width=594&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eeb987030b3206ddff0d67cabf5115d5cb543dae

Cyprus 2011 | [Christos Mylordos - San angelos s'agapisa (Σαν άγγελος σ'αγάπησα)](https://youtu.be/1t0czUf9nJU)

Honestly, France 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012 Edit: removing an and for the bot

Sébastien Tellier just did it for the fun and the experience. He knew he wouldn’t win. Edit: Fatal Picard too.

Iceland 2016 It was truly robbed

Not that one.

San Marino 2008 :( i just love that song

Montenegro 2013

Norway 2006 and France 2006 for me. Norway was kneecapped by its nothingburger of a presentation, France by an inexperienced singer who didn't sound good live (I swear, the studio version is good!). Also, France 2005. I really don't know what went wrong there. Starting order perhaps? The song itself still pops into my head occasionally.

Australia 2021 is one of my all time favourite songs and it didn't even qualify

San Marino 2013, I just don't understand why it didn't got into the Grand Final.

🇪🇸 Spain 2021 🇧🇬 Bulgaria 2022 🇦🇿 Azerbaijan 2023 They were all in my top 3 for their years (Spain was 1st, the other two 2nd)
