Eurovision Ironies

[SRBIJA]

Sweden was the the country that introduced LED Screens back in 2000 and now 13 years later they are the country taking it off for the first time since then!

Can you think of some ?

 

[Fluke]

If Hungary chooses to include some Swedish in their song this year, it would be the second year in a row we hear Swedish used in a ESC entry - and neither of them by Sweden!

 

[Sean]

Montenegro may not be performing first, but they were still drawn to open the second half of their semi

 

[Impressive]

2008 - First Semi Final - First performer song - Montenegro - Failed in semi
2009 - First Semi Final - First performer song - Montenegro - Failed in semi
2012 - First Semi Final - First performer song - Montenegro - Failed in semi

Russian and German are Europe's most spoken languages and yet we hear them rarely in ESC.

... And Gracia Baur should have run and hidden !

 

[Terence]

has sung in English since ages, and yet the last time a non-English word was used in a Maltese song, was in Russian.

 

[Terence]

Montenegro may not be performing first, but they were still drawn to open the second half of their semi

Yeah, that! they were unlucky again!

Also, although this is not ironic or so, Russia stick to the first semifinal AGAIN!

Run and hide beat My number one in the votings by the back-up-juries that had been used in that contest.

Run and hide beat My number one in the votings by the back-up-juries that had been used in that contest.

How do you know? Where can I see those results? It would be a freaking interesting read to be honest!

Wikipedia says that , , and needed back-up-juries but I had heard it were only the latter two. In that case it would not be true anymore.

LT United weren't the winners

 

[hijirio]

Turkey gave 12 points to in 2005, and in 2007

The same country had been underrated almost all the time until 2003, and all of a sudden became one of the most overrated ones.

 

[EscGeek]

two more songs were performed after Omar Naber's "Stop"
Mihai Traistariu didn't return...yet
Peace still didn't come
Kalomira has twin babies,so someone unlocked her combination
Roman Lob didn't stand still
and Loukas Giorkas didn't dance

 

[EscGeek]

Selma was all out of luck in 2005,but she had our love in 1999 3

 

[toinou03]

Peace still didn't come

Yes, sadly, Georgia 2008 was the biggest Eurovision irony !
