I love how we'd been singing Malta's '91 entry for nearly 20 years having only heard it once at the original competish. When we eventually discovered it again on You Tube turns out that A) We'd made up our own tune B) It's shit.

Whilst Nicole is an obvious choice how can you have missed out these 2 classics.....

Johnny Logan - What's Another Year (So Hot!!!)

Belle and the Devotions - Love Games

[mump boy]

i was only allowed 3 i forgot Johnny !! (how if that possible amazing song and really hot) and i watched Belle and the Devotions and decided it was rather shit, Malta was more fun

[Baby Clyde]

How very dare you!!!

Did you see The Devotions 'Supremes' style dance routine and green plastic outfits??? What's not to like,

Apparently they are miming to the real backing singers who are hiding behind a screen because one of them was pregnant.

[Baby Clyde]

Such a missed opportunity. Would have been legendary and is actually a far better song than any we've entered in over a decade.

Half-decent songs since 1997: 2002, 2009, 2011. These have also been our best results since 1997 (save for 1998).

Entries that "Not Just Anybody" is better than since 1997: 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2012.

Has everybody forgotten the uber-amazingness of Urban Symphony's Randajad and Sebastien Tellier's Divine?

France Gall - "Poupee De Cire Poupee De Son"
Urban Symphony - "Randajad"
MaNga - "We could be the same"

So hard!! Great thread.

1. Gina G - Ooh Aah Just A Little Bit
2. Kate Ryan - Je T'adore
3. Lena - Taken By A Stranger

[Keifer3194]

For me it's

1. Playing With Fire - Paula Seling & Ovi (greatest middle 8 ever!)
2. Drip Drop - Safura (amazing ballad, great vocal)
3. Taken By A Stranger - Lena (almost too good for Eurovision)

It was a close call between Taken and Euphoria. Popular (Eric Saade) and Is It True (Yohanna), In A Moment Like This (Chanée & N'Evergreen) and are also amazing. Also, Girls Aloud would kill to have something like Serebro's Song #1 in their discography.

In terms of performances, Elena Paparizou's is exactly how you do it.

I still can't believe the British public picked Andy Abraham over this:

[jruk2007]

I still can't believe the British public picked Andy Abraham over this:

I can't believe the British public were reduced to having to choose between this and Andy Abraham.

[CopenhagenPop]

It's an impossible task. Today it is:

1. Anabel Conde: Veuelve Conmigo, Spain 1995
2. Stella: Si tu aimes ma musique, Belgium 1982
3. Vicky Leandros: Après toi, Luxembourg 1972

Tomorrow it could be Tom Pilibi, France 1960, Every Way that I can, Turkey 2003 and Is it true, Iceland 2009.

All I can say is WHERE THE HELL IS FRANCES RUFFELLE???

http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/lat...sion-vote.html

[Boots]

1) Nina Zilli - L'amore è Femmina
2) Eldrine - One More Day
3) Anggun - Echo (You & I)

I lurve these ones obviously, but I liked a lot more of this years songs; I'm sure that if I were to pick my top three in a few months again, Cezar would feature.

[undisco_me]

I don't care how predictable this list is:

01. Ooh Ahh ... Just A Little Bit - Gina G
The unmistakable camp siren of Steve Roadway's fizzing riff that pops its cork even before the song's hardly begun, the gushing giddy hysteria of it all as Gina's manic love life takes her from one excessively fickle, tormented and insatiable extreme to another, her sparkly mini-dress all the while shaking her hips, Moonbaby on work experience, and the iconic chorus (built on simulating a really good body pump class or else an intimidating session in the sack) that goes so high Gina faints and gets carried out by a stretcher where it's now left to a Martha Wash type backing singer to do some major ad-libs. Impossible for me to keep my composure when this flares up into the stuff gay comas are made of.

02. Diva - Dana International
Raising her arms to the sky as she took to the stage, either announcing her victory already or just drying her pits, an icon had arrived, and boy did she have quite the package for us. A genuine fan of the contest, the song is both a tribute and personal theme tune.

03. Love Shine A Light - Katrina & The Waves
The Celtic jangles are already iconic and signal something huge, but the surge and tremors of pre-Euphoria euphoria from THAT vocal soar is something unmatched before and since, all the while looking like a kd lang's wet dream.

[3words~]

This trumps Angel and What If We for me.

Emma - Give A Little Love Back to the World (1990 UK)

Frances Ruffelle - Lonely Symphony (We Will Be Free) (1994 UK)
