Now that ten years have passed since jury voting made its comeback in the semi-finals let's have a thread and poll for the best song that did not pass by national televotings but got through with the help of the jury instead. 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 not in the televoting Top-10s of the official charts released 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.
PPS: 2008 is not included as it – whilst technically a jury wildcard – would also have qualified without this rule.
