It's funny how the the last song of the show from Iceland was basically a parody of all the other songs - and most of Europe didn't get it. I think the actress behind Silvia Night deliberately entered Eurovision to make fun of its cheesy-ness.

It would be interesting to see the difference in results if there was two semi finals and not 10 automatic qualifiers for this year. So many great songs didn't make the final!!

loved Netherlands' "Amambanda" :)

I love Sakis Rouvas screaming "GAY" right at the end.

i think that the semifinal was better that the final :3

loved Ireland's "Every song is a cry for love" :)

Belgium - the best song to never qualify. Kate should try again.

My qualifiers of semi-final: Slovenia 🇸🇮 Andorra 🇦🇩 Belarus 🇧🇾 Cyprus 🇨🇾 Ukraine 🇺🇦 Finland 🇫🇮 Sweden 🇸🇪 Estonia 🇪🇪 Bosnia & herzegovina 🇧🇦 Iceland 🇮🇸

I was wondering if anyone would mention this, when i saw this back in 2006 i was like "What the..." She actually got into fights, made fun of journalists and had to change her song since it had multiple swears in it.

Türkiye ❤ 🇹🇷

Oh I remember this and this and that and that. Feels great to listen to all the old esc songs :D

poland was one of my favourites that year. but nobody was seriously better than lordi! absolutely deserved victory. EPIC *_*

loved Finland's "Hard rock hallelujah", of course \m/ +,+ \m/

🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸 Iceland was the best! Queen! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 Lots of kisses to that wonderful nation of Iceland from a small town in Eurovision nation!

anyone else find it weird how almost all of the weaker songs of the entire year were drawn to perform super early together in the semifinal? (specifically from bulgaria to belarus) anyways, without your love was the perfect opener and congratulations was the perfect closer

MY TOP : 1. Sweden 2. Slovenia 3. Estonia 4. Belgium 5. Ireland 6. Turkey 7. Russia 8. Poland 9. Cyprus 10. Bulgaria

I van sing with on everyone of these. Crazy.

1: Armenia 2: Bosnia 3: Slovenia 4: Andorra 5: Albania 6: Belgium 7: Macedonia 8: Russia 9: Ukraine 10: Finland But Bulgaria, Sweden, Turkey and Ireland deserve final too. There are many greats songs. The choice is hard. I think the countries of the top ten of 2005 didn't deserve the final like Croatia, Latvia, ...

loved Bosnia and Herzegovina's "Lejla" :)

My classified countries from Spain: Armenia Bulgaria Belgium Estonia Monaco FYR Macedonia Poland Finland Andorra Bosnia & Hercegovina

the albanian song grows on me... but BELGIUM is the best!! KATE

My Top : 01.Slovenia 02.FYR Macedonia 03.Belgium 04.Bosnia&H 05.Ukraine 06.Albania 07.Armenia 08.Russia 09.Monaco 10.Bulgaria Estonia so awful xD

I'd argue the Lithuanian 'vote for the winners of ESC" guys were the more obvious piss take.

Belgiun not in the final??? :((

Monaco was the BEST! Should have won overall! I agree with most of your choices though. And well done for not including Finland (ties with Serbia 2007 as worst winner EVER!), and Bosnia-Herzegovina (BORING!).

12

These countries should have made it to the final: Armenia Belgium Ireland Macedonia Poland Russia Finland Sweden Estonia Bosnia & H.

whatever

At least Eurovision is back again. Back in 2006 was too kits and boring. Few good songs like Belgium and Cyprus were beaten by trash because of the diaspora and blog voting.
