2012 has so many problems. First of all, most songs are good in studio version but many died live and I have some theories why - maybe bad acoustics? maybe the late hour? Maybe because Azerbaijan were jerks and were trying to rig it for their buddies? Idk.

Second of all, Azerbaijan's hosting stint was pretty terrible, what with the wanton human rights violations and fucking self-congratulatory intersitials ("AZERBAIJAN - THE LAND OF FRIENDS" fuck OFFFFFF), and also I know people rightfully hate Assi Azar but ELLBEAST is my least favourite esc host ever and I cringe at every single one of his godawful "jokes". :sick:

Oh and third of all, 2012 is one of those "Business Trip" years where the winner is a full category ahead of everyone else. It's not like Loreen didn't deserve to win, but it was painfully obvious from the start and it's so fucking boring. I really didn't want to give her #1 here either, but every other fave I had sucked live, so. Oh well, at least she gave me "Statements" to obsess over, I guess.

:10: :se: Loreen - "Euphoria"
:10: :md: Pasha Parfeny - "Lautar"
:10: :ee: Ott Lepland - "Kuula"
:8: :by: Litesound - "We are the heroes"
:8: :nl: Joan Franka - "You and me"
:8: :bg: Sofi Marinova - "Love Unlimited"
:8: :mk: Kaliopi - "Crno i belo"
:8: :ua: GAITANA - "BE MY GUEST"
:8: :sm: Valentina Monetta - "The Social Network Song"
:7: :ru: Buryanovskiye Babuski - "Party for everybody"
:7: :is: Greta Salome & Jonsi - "Never forget"
:7: :it: Nina Zilli - "L'amore e femmina"
:7: :es: Pastora Soler - "Quedate conmigo"
:7: :tr: Can Bonomo - "Love me back"
:7: :gr: Eleftheria Eleftheriou - "Aphrodisiac"
:7: :cy: Ivi Adamou - "La la love"
:7: :dk: Soluna Samay - "Should've known better"
:7: :il: Izabo - "Time"
:6: :sk: Max Jason Mai - "Don't close your eyes"
:6: :hu: Compact Disco - "Sound of our hearts"
:6: :lv: Anmary - "Beautiful song"
:6: :fi: Pernilla Karlsson - "Nar jag blundar"

:6: :ge: Anri Jokhadze - "I'm a joker"
:5: :ch: Sinplus- "Unbweakabuwl"
:5: :fr: Anggun - "Echo"
:5: :ie: Jedward - "Waterline"
:5: :sl: Eva Boto - "Verjamem"
:5: :rs: Zheljko Joksimovic - "Nije ljubav stvar"
:4: :pt: Filipa Sousa - "Vida minha"
:4: :uk: Engelbert Dinklehump -- "Love will set you free"
:4: :be: Iris - "Would you?"

:4: :hr: Nina Badric - "Nebo"
:3: :ro: Mandinga - "Zaleilah"
:3: :no: Tooji - "Stay"
:3: :az: Sabina Babayeva "When the music does"
:2: :lt: Donny Montell - "Love is blind"
:2: :me: Rambo Amadeus - "Euro Neuro"
:1: :mt: Kurt Calleja - "This is the night"
:1: :de: Roman Lob - "Standing still"
:0: :al: Rona Nishliu - "Suus"

:0: :at: Trackshittaz - "Woki mit deim Pop"

and Loreen is also my lowest ranked yearly fave for the 2010s, at a ~blistering~ #38. She great and all, but the best ever? Honeys, i'm not that basic.

Probably the best year in the decade, or at least the best FINALE of the 2010s. Holy shit, over 20 greens songs and only two reds in the finale? That's extraordinary. A pity there's so much garbage clogging up the semifinals.

2018

A year with a massive reputation because you know, Netta and Eleni, but I'm not at all fond of it as the ranking below shall show. 2018 definitely suffered from the same disease as 2012 did, in that most tracks sounded great in studio and then just... died during the live rendition. 'A Matter of Time'? Echoed, Echoed and Fell. 'Oniro Mou'? Neutered through smurficide. "Bones"? A posterchild of the Iconically Bad/Ironically Great movement. 'ALEXEEV'? Sic a psych on it. 'Mercy' WHERE THE FUCK IS YOUR STAGING???

The few acts that *did* improve (Eleni, DoReDoS and Michael Sheeran) suffered from subpar, uncanny valley musical melodies. *sigh*

Oh and about our good friend Netta Barzilai... I do believe she is a suitable winner for this year, but that's where my sympathies end. I used to really like "Toy" but the joke has worn off and I am so fucking *OVER* both it and Netta to the point that I lowkey hate both now? #MeToo is a good cause et all, but I can't take it seriously in a contest that rewarded a song that *figuratively* reduces women to objects with a fucking sixth place finish.

At least "Toy" caused Salvabrat to almost die from cardiac arrest (again) when he realized he had to hand her the throphy and congratulate her xheart

I might as well finish with 2019 now

I have not rewatched this contest yet since its original airing, but the feeling I have is "wow this year is pretty underwhelming"? Mostly due to horrible production which caused technical difficulties and a myriad of bad camera angles. Seriously, :no:, :al:, :pl: and :ee:'s broadcasters should all just sue KAN for fucking them over like that???

Another elephant in the room was Björkmann's very shady appointment as exec director. Like, we joke about Christer being corrupt all the time while he mostly abides by the rules, but this year he briefed the juries with ' jury notes' on how to vote... which Jon Ola allowed, for some reason???? Notes which somehow always benefited Sweden????? ummmmmmmm.

At LEAST australia finally proved themselves worthy of my time.
