Non-qualifiers in your Top 20?

[jatojo]

Which non-qualifiers from the national selections would be in your Top 20 at present, edging out some of the national winners?

For me, it would be:

Imaginary Friend - Bulgaria
Monument - Norway
Kelle mä soitan - Finland
Lost In A Dance - Estonia (studio version)
Hero - Norway

(And maybe one or two more.)

 

[Ezio]

Clara Klingenström
Daughter
Je t*emmenerai danser
Dancing in the stars / Neev
Imaginary friend

 

[Looren]

Nathalie Brydolf would've been my favorite and in my top 5 or top 3 ESC songs

 

[Realest]

Almost everything from , because their Selection was so strong. Eric would have been my #1.
Keiino was alright.
I dont remember the other Selections.

 

[Swede12]

Raylee - Hero
Juri Pootsmann - Magus melanhoolia
Dotter - Little Tot
Eric Saade - Every minute
Bernarda - Colors
Imaginary friend
Ugly Cry

 

[burrito]

Teflon Brothers x Pandora - I love you

 

[VikingTiger]

Victoria: Ugly Cry
Victoria: Imaginary Friend
Victoria: Phantom Pain
Victoria: Dive into Unknown
Keiino: Monument
Juliette: Pourvu qu'on M'aime
Clara: Behøver inte dig idag
Nadine: Cheguei Aqui
Karetus e Romeu Bairos: Saudade
Eu.Clides: Volte-Face
Orietta Berti: Quando ti sei Innamorato

 

[HayashiM]

There's too many! Some of them aren't necessarily better than those who actually won, but all of these would've been my top 10 had they won and nothing else changed:
LMK - Magique, Juliette Moraine - Pourvu qu'on aime, Andriamad - Alléluia (had they fixed those vocals)
Inis Neziri - Pendesë
Bernarda - Colors
Emmy - Witch Woods
Teflon Brothers x Pandora - I love you, Aksel - Hurt
Koit Toome - We Could Have Been Beautiful
Fasma - Parlami, Irama - La genesi del tuo colore, Annalisa - Dieci
Joana Alegre - Joana do Mar, Nadine - Cheguei Aqui
Charlotte Perrelli - Still Young, Dotter - Little Tot, The Mamas - In the Middle

And the absolute darlings that might have given Barbara Pravi a good run for my n°1 spot, most probably taking it:
KEiiNO - Monument
Jorn - Faith Bloody Faith
Raylee - Hero
Ermal Meta - Un milione di cose da dirti
Francesca Michielin e Fedez - Chiamami per nome
Clara - Behøver inte dig idag

and threw away my top 10 for my bottom 10, but I am the most mad at and , who still sent very good songs, but trashed my absolute favourites of the year, both in the final elimination rounds.

 

[ekzuu]

All!!! (Downloaded the whole album and love it!, just like her other songs)
KEiiNO- Monument, Raylee - Hero, Daniel Owen - Psycho, Blasemafian - Let Loose

Wow - they are all better than your Top 20 favourites for Rotterdam ...?

They would have been in my top 20, yes

I didn't have the best NF season in terms of outcome but that doesn't mean that I'm unsatisfied with the choices in most cases (except for Italy and Finland), but I like the ones I have mentioned more than the selected songs.

Some ESC fans say they avoid the national finals because it makes them less happy about the big Eurovision show, knowing that many of their favourites are not there.

That's quite true in an extent. For me, I would have enjoyed the contest more if my favourites from my NF are the winning entry for the country. But it will make me sadder of they don't qualify to the finals though.

That may be true for some people but I'm personally sad about losing my personal favorites for like 3 or 4 days, then I "get over it" (quoting that iconic sentence)

They may not manage to go to Eurovision but they will go to my playlist and for me, that's the most important thing
