Four years have passed since I created a poll of the same topic. Last May the return of jury voting celebrated the tenth 10th anniversary with ten new victims so I thought this was the right time for a new one. Which is the best song that was voted through by the national televotings but hindered by the jury? Did the juries do a good job in general or would results have been fairer without them?

Discuss mannerly and enclosed please vote in the poll. :)

PS: I know about the 2013 'calamity' but I have decided to include the respective entries nevertheless because of the following reasons. First they are in in the televoting Top-10s of the official data handed out to us by the EBU, and secondly we cannot tell with certainty anyhow what counting system ('12 points', average rankings, etc.) would have been used to determine the qualifiers if it had been either full jury or televote.

Btw its very bitter to see that :ch: was destroyed 3 Times by the Juries and only saved once, considering that they have the lowest Diaspora in whole Europe.

Re: Best jury-eliminated entry [2008-2017]

Juries killed some pretty colourful songs tbh, it breaks my heart to see so many faves of mine in this list. By the way, I didn't remember juries were responsible for the non-qualification of Sweden in 2010 :eek: And seeing "Blackbird" here - one of the most jury-friendly songs of 2017 - is just weird.

Of course, I voted for the epic Montenegrin entry "Slayanka", my personal winner of 2013 that was butchered by that flawed and fishy voting system they introduced that year. But that doesn't mean I don't mourn the loss of other gems.

Difficult to choose between:

:bg: Love Unlimited
:me: Igranka
:ee: Verona

..but chose Igranka

With Igranka it's obvious why they voted it out since they have 0 sense of humor or fun, but with Love Unlimited and Verona there seems to be a thread they don't like mature women. Having seen enough Idol/X-factor etc, it's evident age is a huge factor in jury thinking so no surprises here.
