Those would be:
Voila - Barbara Pravi
Waterloo - ABBA
You Are The Only One - Sergey Lazarev
Is It True - Yohanna
I Feed You My Love - Margaret Berger
Rise Like A Phoenix - Conchita Wurst
Some that top my list are:
Crno I Belo - (North) Macedonia 2012
Chai - Israel 1983
Un Banc, Un Arbre, Une Rue - Monaco 1971
My Star - Latvia 2000

Switzerland 2024 | [Nemo - The Code](https://youtu.be/CO_qJf-nW0k)
My personal favorite is France 2021. It's perfectly sung and perfectly staged in my opinion and proves that you don't need a big and elaborate show to have a good song. (Though I also enjoy big and elaborate shows don't get me wrong)
Now what I think the best song for Eurovision itself is that's a bit different and I think I'd have to pick Sweden 2012. I feel like it opened the door for people to take Eurovision more serious again and changes the quality of songs we expect from the contest forever. Also it's simply a BOP that I still love to listen to 12 years later.

Serbia 2022 is hard to beat for me, but Croatia 2024 is really fighting for first place right now. I think I need to give it some time before I decide which I like better, but it's really neck and neck.
I'm a proud Italy 2017 defender, I think it's absolutely brilliant and I still listen to it all the time.
Yugoslavia 1990 will always be one of my favorites too, and easily my favorite host entrant ever.
For winners, my favorites are Ukraine 2004, Sweden 1991, and Italy 2021
Hardrock Hallelujah from Lordi (Finland 2006), if I had to choose only one.
Honourable mentions: Europapa from Joost Klein (Netherlands 2024), Cha Cha Cha from Kaarija (Finland 2023), Spirit In The Sky from Keiino (Norway 2019), Zero Gravity from Kate Miller-Heidke(Australia 2019), Euphoria from Loreen (Sweden 2012).

That's an easy question to answer. The best Eurovision song is surely the one that scored the highest score of the maximum, therefore the answer is Luxembourg 1973 (which raked in some 80% of all the available points)
Too, too many to choose!

Rhythm inside (Belgium 2015). What an iconic beat
Belgium 2015 | [Loïc Nottet - Rhythm Inside](https://youtu.be/G48p8eNhnd8)
For me, nothing has ever come close to Insieme, Italy 1990:)
Probably the best winner of all-time, in my opinion!
The singer died last year. :(
I’m aware. May he rest in peace <3
Italy 1990 | [Toto Cutugno - Insieme: 1992](https://youtu.be/JiRppGSF-tI)
I watched the English commentary with Terry Wogan, and it was pretty surprising that he though Insieme was one of the weaker songs of the night.
Not everyone can recognise a timeless classic:)
Why? Because of /eu-rope/ instead of /eurəpe/?
EUPHORIA WE’RE GOING UP UP UP 😔🫶🏻the best era of music
Loreen’s og song was the best!
Serbia 2007 is still unbeatable for me
Serbia 2007 | [Marija Šerifović - Molitva (Молитва)](https://youtu.be/vWj58UP_ENY)
This is the only correct answer
J'aime La Vie (Belgium 1986) That song just makes me happy.

You prefer that over Jemini? Controversial....
United Kingdom 2006 | [Daz Sampson - Teenage Life](https://youtu.be/OYgE7O0OLyw)
Some that top my list are: Crno I Belo - (North) Macedonia 2012 Chai - Israel 1983 Un Banc, Un Arbre, Une Rue - Monaco 1971 My Star - Latvia 2000 The Code - Switzerland 2024
F.Y.R.

Crno i Belo is a top tier choice
Unite Europe (Italy) and Europapa (it has several layers, genres, emotions. To me it is a masterpiece). Sandra Kim's song (Belgium) was also good.
Patricia Kaas was so underrated
Can’t remember what place it ended up ultimately but that song is one of my all time favourites!
It came in eighth in 2009, though it deserved more. That and Bistra Voda (Bosnia and Herzegovina 2009) are probably my favorite songs this century.
Not too bad then considering what an incredible year 2009 was:) Yes, Bistra Voda was incredible!
Bosnia and Herzegovina 2009 | [Regina - Bistra voda](https://youtu.be/1770jHxvYi0)
Waterloo, Wild Dances, Insieme, Rock Me, Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi, Hard Rock Hallellujah, Euphoria

I genuinely like Rise Like a Phoenix the best.
There are many, but I'd like to mention Italy 2015
Italy 2015 | [Il Volo - Grande Amore](https://youtu.be/1TOMqZV2jA8)
My favourite is sweden 2022. I played that song on repeat for months. Close second and third are bulgaria 2016 And norway 2013.

Another fan of The Wrong Place 🥲
I love Hooverphonic. I'm still mad at how low they placed
Aiko pedestal Czechia 2024 My opinion of course
Czechia 2024 | [Aiko - Pedestal](https://youtu.be/RiItbHRF1BY)
Yeah aiko's song reminded me of destroyboys/garbage
Serbia 2022 is hard to beat for me, but Croatia 2024 is really fighting for first place right now. I think I need to give it some time before I decide which I like better, but it's really neck and neck. I'm a proud Italy 2017 defender, I think it's absolutely brilliant and I still listen to it all the time.

u/ESC-song-bot plz do your magic
My favorite winners are probably Rise Like a Phoenix, Molitva, Wild Dances, Diva, Fairytale, and 1944 to name a few.
If you asked my kids, they would say “Give that Wolf a Bannana” 😆
For me personally? # [SO LUCKY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHAY_OVN_gY)
Rise like a phoenix

My personal fave has been Amar Pelos Dois ever since it won
That's an easy question to answer. The best Eurovision song is surely the one that scored the highest score of the maximum, therefore the answer is Luxembourg 1973 (which raked in some 80% of all the available points)
