Countries Which Did Not Deserve to Qualify?

[Leigh744]

Every year there are those songs which did not deserve to qualify to the final, thanks to televoting, disapora etc. However, like this years contest, one semi is weaker than the other, resulting in less deserved qualifiers to the final from one of the semis.

In my opinion, these are the songs I thought didn't deserve to pass to the final, and in brackets what should have qualified instead:

2004: Macedonia (Israel)
2005: Hungary, Norway, Macedonia (Iceland, Belarus, The Netherlands)
2006: Turkey, Macedonia (Belgium, Poland)
2007: Bulgaria, Moldova (Portugal, Andorra)
2008: SF1: Finland (Slovenia) SF2: Croatia (Switzerland)
2009: SF1: Israel (Montenegro) SF2: Lithuania, Croatia (Ireland, Slovenia)
2010: SF1: Bosnia&Herzegovina, Russia (Slovakia, Finland) SF2: Ukraine, Cyprus (Sweden, Croatia)

In 2010, Russia/Israel/Ukraine/Serbia/Bosnia.

Sweden/Croatia/Slovakia should have gone through as well as Switzerland and Finland!
