The Greatest Eurovision Songs That Never Were

!!! True that...

 

This is a classic in the gay bars of Copenhagen :-)

 

Remind me again who was chosen over her? That was beautiful! Maybe not a winner but a definate top 10.

 

duckface, I'm so glad there's another person on earth who feels the same way I do.
(Granted, it may just be us, but that's fine. Only you and I, we're the ones tonight.)

 

Swedish House Wives were amazing.

Also, this:

........... So awful. I honestly don't get what the BBC were thinking.

 

That Josh Dubovie song was my guilty pleasure (the original mix when he won the talent show).

Maybe that's because it sounded like a long lost Jason Donovan demo from 1989?

 

The choir doesn't help the performance here...

 

Completely unrelated to any selection process, but from the very first time I heard this I thought: this is a Eurovision smash.

Has this been mentioned? Estonian preselection, 2003.

 

If we can suggest songs that were never intended to be Eurovision but ought to have been, then Turkey should have been all over this song this year.

 

I'm such a nationalist when it comes to Eurovision, promoting Serbia all the time, but I think this would've made a damn fine entry back in 2006. It's literally one of the best tracks we ever had. It mixes traditional and modern elements quite well, and the girl created it all by herself, so we could forgive her an occasional bum note.

Kira's 'I'll Be Your Angel' was like a proto-Euphoria and would be a huge winner.

 

I always wanted to see this in the eurovision final:

Glad she came up with Lynda Woodruff too. Hope she's gonna try again.

 

She lost to Lordi, so Finland can't really complain, but it will forever be my favorite runner-up:

Another great G:son one from Norway 2007:


Jannicke Abrahamsen - Rocket Ride


How this didn't beat Guri Schanke I'll never understand.

 

It's really best to link to the single version of this, because live it was pretty horrendous.
