The Greatest Eurovision Songs That Never Were

Important to mention she was Željko protege!

 

Jutro had to die so Oro could live, and now we have both. So I'm at peace with it.

 

This rejected Cyprus entry was a mess but is also kind of a bop?

 

Bop from Spain 2010's NF

 

Three lost gems from Finland's 2012

 

I stanned so much this Avicii-esque Baltic-folk smash back in the day

 

Sure the vocals are rather all over the place but still a great mid 2000's tune. Would take this over Walters & Kazha any day.

 

Thank goodness "Secret Combination" won the national competition but I've always kind of liked this 2008 would-be Greek entry...

 

Imagine a Godawful turd of a song sung by a creepy AF guy in Moldovan 2010 NF.

Imagine stanning it hard.

And yes the live version was all kinds of awful.

 

The more you know. Just found out that Ben Barnes is the one with a hoodie in this sub-Blue conglomerate that toop part on the UK's 2004 National Final.

 

This was way better than I Can though.

 

To this day I can't believe the UK picked Love City Bloody Groove over this absolute banger

While we're on the subject, this was much better than Precious too

 

Might as well complete my trilogy of favourite Eurovision songs that never were, this would never have gone on to win like Katrina did but I unapologetically love it!

 

R.I.P. Kerry-Ann MacGregor

 

Going all the way back with this one!

 

The full show of the Turkish 1999 national final has just popped up on YouTube.

 

Not sure if these have already been mentioned but here are a few that I still love:

 

I watched the Norwegian national finals that year, and stanned Bombo hard. Her live vocals were very shaky, even when she was static and I'm not sure Ina Wroldsen would have been there to sing the chorus.

Performing it at a Zumba convention though? Icons only.
