Since the first round of qualifiers to Euro 2020 have just gone by this idea for a game seems fitting to me.

Let's imagine you can be the manager for your country at Eurovision and select the 11 songs from the all time-roster, be able to choose those that make you the most proud!

What's that? Too limitative? You want to be able to select from other countries which you enjoy usually supporting at Eurovision every year? Alright!

But let's add a twist then. Let's make us select from each and every nation that has taken part in the ESC ever since it's inception. So long they have at least 12 entries to go with.



Let's start with Belarus then. Each week you get to choose from a different country I'll be electing at the start of each week.

You can post your "national elevens" here on the thread.

All I'll do is add the number of times each song has been selected. Then after a week we have a rough idea about each of our favorites from each country through the years.

Some countries will be tough and heartbreaking, others will feel like a task probably.

But maybe the spice of life relies on hard choices to be made. So let's get it started with the ESC powerhouse that is Belarus then ;)

Re: National elevens (Belarus week)

Alright, you are entitled to your opinion of course.

Not even I think my 11 picks match my standard of good. Like I said, the fun would be in taking hard decisions.

Hope the game can be met with more interest until sunday (otherwise I just drop it then).

Unpopular opinion but I really like Belarusian entries. 2004, 2017 and 2019 just missed out!

Re: National elevens (Belarus week)

We're done with :by: Belarus then!

Work your magic by Koldun and Solayoh by Alyona Lanskaya got the most love!

Well done to all the other songs who finished on "medal" positions as well.

And all others too. Don't forget that every song that ends up at ESC stage is already a winner, even if it was the broadcast's big shot making the decision all by him/herself :p

Time to move on to the sunny island of :cy: Cyprus!

Now this will be trickier since we're moving from 15 songs to over the double.

You already know the drill, pick your favorite 11 songs and post them away in here. I'll try to keep this post updated daily. You have until sunday to post you preferences.

I'll let the 1988 entry stand despite having been withdrawn. Same will apply to other withdrawn songs from other countries over the years. Unless the majority is against it. But there should be no problem, right? ;)

Full roster:

:cy: 1981 Island - Monika

:cy: 1982 Anna Vissi - Mono i agapi

:cy: 1983 Stavros & Constantina - I agapi akoma zi

:cy: 1984 Andy Paul - Anna Maria Lena
