There are other songs that I would've liked to see in the final, like :sk: 2010, :bg: 2011, 2013, :il: 2013, 2014, :fi: 2012, but I felt like those songs were doomed to fail anyway, especially after weak/boring performances.

I'm most mad that :cz: 2015 didn't qualify because it was such a good effort from them and it deserved to qualify so much, this year they just have a fan hype which is doomed to fail (at which point it'll get called underrated and everything), I feel like people have forgotten about ;:cz 2015

(Despite a horrible performance)

Important point. :cy: 2007 and :bg: 2010 had terrible performances, too, but I loved the original songs so much. I can somehow see why they didn't qualify but then again, there were (more) awful songs passing with a solid but boring performance (some because they always pass). Not fair either.

:il: 2014 und :cz: 2015 hat great performances but I still don't know why those failed. Especially Israel 2014 seemed to be a great fan favourite, too.

[MENTION=15159]midnightsun[/MENTION] I have heard a lot of people that think :cy: 07 had a bad performance, but for me it was epic. The only downside I can see is that some people might think she was too overcharged and was giving her all in the performance, but that is for her advantage IMO.

But to the topic, I do have one or two almost every year I think deserved to qualify especially from 2007!
Full list of the songs I feel rather strong about should have qualified:

:sl: 2005
:is: 2006
:cy: 2007
:is: 2007
:pt: 2007
:ad: 2007
:mk: 2008
:me: 2009
:rs: 2009
:ee: 2010
:se: 2010
:hr: 2010
:no: 2011
:by: 2011
:me: 2013
:ie: 2015

This is not only to say who you wanted to qualify, that's easy, but also whose place should've taken and this is my list. It's not that I cried for all of them, but I still think they were way better than some of the qualifiers.

2004: :ee: and :ad: instead of :ba: and :hr:

2005: :at: :ad: :sl: and :is: instead of :mk: (xpuke) :hr: :dk: and :lv:

2006: :bg: :ad: :pl: :nl: and :ee: instead of :am: :ie: :mk: :tr: (xpuke) and :fi:

2007: :cy: :nl: :ee: and :at: instead of :ge: :hu: :tr: and :lv:

2008 SF 1: :sm: :sl: and :nl: instead of :az: :ba: and :fi:
2008 SF 2: :ch: :bg: :cy: and :cz: instead of :hr: :lv: :dk: and :ge:

2009 SF 1: :me: and :ad: instead of :se: and :mt:
2009 SF 2: :sl: and :pl: instead of :dk: and :ua:

2010 SF 1: :sk: :pl: and :mk: instead of :pt: :ba: and :ru:
2010 SF 2: :se: :bg: and :hr: instead of :dk: :az: and :ro:

2011 SF 1: :pl: :tr: :mt: and :no: instead of :rs: :fi: :is: and :lt:
2011 SF 2: :sk: :cy: and :bg: instead of :md: :ro: and :ie:

2012 SF 1: :lv: :sm: and :ch: instead of :al: :ro: and :ie:
2012 SF 2: :nl: :by: :pt: :bg: :sl: and :hr: instead of :mt: :ua: :tr: :ee: :ba: and :lt:

2013 SF 1: :at: :rs: and :sl: instead of :ee: :by: and :be:
2013 SF 2: :sm: :mk: :bg: :il: and :ch: instead of :fi: :mt: :am: :hu: and :ro: (xpuke)

2014 SF 1: :ee: and :be: instead :is: and :me:
2014 SF 2: :il: :ie: and :mk: instead of :at: :fi: and :by:

2015 SF 1: :by: and :nl: instead of :am: and :gr:
2015 SF 2: :mt: and :ch: instead of :az: and :pl:

My biggest disappointments

2015

:by: Sorry but how could :al: :gr: :ro: or :ru: easily qualify but "Time"?

2013

:at: She was better than at least half of the qualifiers of her semi.
:ch: One of specifical reasons I hate jury voting. Would love to see them in dreadful final of 2013.

2012

:fi: One of best songs ever been performed on Eurovision stage. I could choose her over anyone in her semi final, or even the other semi final.
:nl: She was literally the best of her semi.



And these songs made me "WTF?!" when they didn't qualify back then, but now I'm not really impressed:

:md: 2015
:no: 2011
:lv: 2010

My award for the biggest injustice I think actually goes to Sofi Marinova's "Love Unlimited". So much butt was kicked with that performance and the jury ruined it for her. I've seen no one else at Eurovision command the stage like Sofi did.
