[MAD20]

Germany 2015, Czech Republic 2016 and (unpopular opinion) UK 2021.

 

[Elina UA]

Oh no, my favourite zero was robbed again!
2015 Black smoke

 

[Franco]

Ann Sophie!
2015

Totally upside-down scoreboard.

If Aven Romale was an entry in 2021, it might get some points for its originality and quirkiness

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Definitely 2016, I Stand.

Honourable mentions go to I don't feel hate and Limits. (also Black Smoke!)

I liked Omaga from this year as well but the live performance kind of ruined it a bit.

I was totally addicted to 2003 prior to the contest, and I think their car crash on stage was kinda epic and hilarious. They scored one point for each note they sang in tune.

Weren't there technical problems for much of that contest? To have a song you like ruined by that surely is something to be annoyed at rather than finding funny. Latvijas Televīzija (LTV) have somehow got away with it as most aren't even aware.

 

[Jay25]

"I stand" and "I'm yours"

 

[astatine86]

Austria 2019 . Average live showing, but I love the song in its studio version.

 

[empo21]

2012 and 2016 deserved so much more

 

[Ezio]

Ann Sophie!
2015

Totally upside-down scoreboard.

She didn’t score zero televotes

Well Latvia was the poorest country as of this date to ever host the big ass Eurovision. If you sue them, what would you get out of it?

 

[Iker]

2016
2015

Both were very emjoyable for me. The rest - no.

 

[Brandt]

Unironically, I actually love Sister, as well as I don't feel hate, and Black Smoke.

I also voted for Echo back then, but I probably would not with my taste of music today.

Honorable mention: 2017

 

[Ianp16]

Probably 2003 but if it was sung in key and I didn't have to see the performance.

2021 was also a hit with me but that's mainly because I want to have Benny's babies...

2015 was a quality entry, not really a song I would listen to but I thought it really did not deserve joint last, definitely in a year of, in my opinion, mediocre.

 

[Ezio]

Please stop mentioning Black Smoke in this thread. It has not received zero points from televoting.

 

[Shadowfuxcs]

"Limits" was my number #1 in 2019 and as a studio track one of my favorites songs from esc ever. Though I didn't like the staging or the choices she made in her singing so the result wasn't surprising.


(but I'm still bitter about how the fandom tore Paenda apart for chosing to go with such a song and then hyped Victoria with her thematically very similar songs)

Please stop mentioning Black Smoke in this thread. It has not received zero points from televoting.

I mentioned it in my post too before removing it... I forgot it was a victim of the weird calculation system.

In hindsight, Ann Sophie had the royal treatment: firstly she was the default choice in the NF due to the Kümmertgate, and then she ended up with zero points despite getting points from both juries and televoters... No wonder the EBU did not keep that system.

 

[Esc_Vinyero]

I have to go with:

2017 Running on air
2021 Omaga

I love both songs, they deserved much better

The three big fat 0 deserved this year were UK. Germany and Spain.
I was rooting for Germany before the rehearsals but then totally felt down.
I don't mean these artists didn't deserved to be appreciated with points.
The countries deserved the 0 not the artists.
All these countries have the economical means and music heritage to organize decent national selections instead of choosing randomly the first who passes by. Does these singers have a career outside ESC?
I know JNewman is a song writer but is he famous as an interpreter?
What about Jendrik and Blas?
I know they could be some kind of famous but are they considered real and strong local artists?
I don't know much about the other big 4.but I can speak about Italy. From 2011, all our representatives are well established artists with strong careers.
Just a few days ago Emma and Il Volo had concerts at Arena di Verona, and you don't sing there if you aren't a famous artist. Diodato has a long career as a song writer, singer, winner of prestigious prices, and also he is the artistic director of La Notte della Taranta, a very well known and appreciated music festival in Italy. Marco Mengoni is one of the most appreciated and acclaimed Italian singers, many tours sold out. Mahmood is considered the best of the new and contemporary Italian generation of songwriters and singers. Gualazzi, Gabbani, Zilli, Meta Moro and Michelin all are very active and their music is very appreciated by the Italian public.
And I'm not talking about Maneskin. Do I?
I mean non of them was only-an-ESC-singer.

Blas is a star in Spain and I knew him long before Eurovision 2021. He had several number 1 albums with his boyband, but then also as a soloist. Best Spanish act in 2013.
