Heisann!
In this thread you may post your overall impression of this edition, and you may rank your favourites or unbearables. You may of course use any older thread instead if you would like. For example this one: Comparing Your Ranked 39 Eurovision Songs
In other words, you may use this thread if you are listening to the entries some years after 2010 and want to rank your favourites/scrapings or just want to put a comment about your overall impression/memoirs.
So what do I remember from 2010? Well, "Satellite" was like "Fairytale" the year before. The moment you met it you knew it would conquer. And that's sort of what I remember. Everything was about Lena and the rest was quite a middle year (in comparison to the modern-modern era since 2008).
However, I've listened through the studio versions once again during the last day and this is my not so complete rankings, but my top and bottom layers:
1. - Lena Meyer-Landrut - Satellite
The cleverness about the beat is unparallelled in ESC-history. And you're not intended to dance, nor to sweat. You're just working on a dainty aura of moist. Intellectually challenging, just lightly touching your carnal desires. And with Lena at the helm, it's still hotter than fire. It's chilly petting blue.
2. - Kuunkuiskaajat - Työlki Ellää
My favourite finnish entry to date. Generic in a very genuine way, just like "Hora Din Moldova" which I appreciated the year before. I like the ladder-kind-of structure in the pre-refrain phase. Very catchy, and the clapping is perfectly timed. This one still lingers on my workout playlist.
3. - Jessy Matador - Allez! Ola! Olé!
The all-time workout comp of Eurovision. Did france lose hope in their low key entries? In any case I'm glad they did this year. There is a very exciting part (e.g. 1:14-1:29 into the song) that lifts this to my third place: "Tout le monde, dambadam badabadam badambadam badam"...
4. - Safura - Drip Drop
And this was also the year when Azerbaijan got dead serious about conquering. Drip Drop is smooth (and semi-bland) all the way, but you just have to hear it all through to be able to appreciate the subtle magic at the moment she groans: "Oh no no no, Oh no no no" (2:33 into the song). That moment alone makes "Drip Drop" something that doesn't get lost in the crowd.
5. - Milan Stanković - Ovo Je Balkan
Repetitive but exciting. Many pleasant elements. From Beograd to Beograd, just hop, hop, hop.
6. - Inculto - Eastern European Funk
I shouldn't like this, but there is something well timed in the supersonic speed beat.
7. - Jon Lilygreen And The Islanders - Life Looks Better In Spring
This one is pretty good. I remember I thought this one was way better than the Belgian equivalent that surprised by placing 6th.
8. - Roka Žlindre & Kalamari - Narodno Zabavni Rock
Interesting rollercoaster, and thus decent. Would have needed a little more of what we here between 0:25 to 0:33. That is the best part.
Gutter:
39. - Josh Dubovie - That Sounds Good To Me - The archetype of emptiness.
38. - Giorgos Alkaios & Friends - Opa - Homespun idling...
37. - Marcin Mrozinski - Legenda - Monotonous misery.
36. - Alyosha - Sweet People - Draging and draging. A sedative.
35. - Michael Von Der Heide - Il Pleut De L'Or - That beat is so stolen from Lena Philipsson's "It Hurts". Punishment!
34. - Malcolm Lincoln - Siren - Nnnnnnnext...
33. - Aisha - What For? - Low-budget. Just not good.
32. - Hera Björk - Je Ne Sais Quoi - Ice queen please, not some French mishmash...
No Horehronie. No Apricot Stone. Oh, no no no...
Oh, no no no.
