Might be because that's the first year that I watched and I remember without it feeling like a fever dream but 2010 is one of my most favourite editions of ESC. There are way too many songs that I like, I don't think in any other post 2000's edition I have liked that big amount of songs. Anyway here's my top:
01.
- We Could Be The Same: I love how it combines rap, rock and some traditional elements in the prechorus and also how unusual the stage show was for ESC's standards. Would be great if it won cause it was one of the best performances of the night but I'm not mad it didn't, second is an excellent result.
02.
- Lost & Forgotten: I really like the humour in this entry. The over the top performance from the singer, the heavy russian accent, the awful lyrics, that legendary second verse. They all just add to it so much I really enjoy this song. But while it's a parody it has a great melancholic melody and somehow captures the feeling of Russia as a country perfectly for me.
03.
- Työlki ellää: One of Finland's best songs imo. The music is fantastic, I love the violin and the accordion and the folk sound they create. The performance was great, could have been better but it wasn't that bad to justify the NQ.
04.
- Millim: Very beautiful ballad and it has a great melody as well. I wish the performance would be better causethe song really deserved it. I'm glad it qualified at least.
05.
- In A Moment Like This: This is a very cute song, also very catchy though kinda dated for its time. One of the few songs that I like the key change and think it suits it. Their performance was great too. Btw
2021 sounds very similar to it.
06.
- Run Away: I kinda liked it in 2010 but never payed to much attention to it. After it got popular I relistened to the whole song and realised how much I liked it. A bit underrated in the results, though the performance could be better.
07.
- Allez Ola Olé: This was a big hit here in Greece and was playing on the radio during summer for years. I wish France would take the risk to send something like this again, this was such a fun song and live it was even better.
08.
- Playing With Fire: Probably my favourite entry from Romania. I like how playful it is and the live performance was fantastic. Deserved its result.
09.
- Ik Ben Verliefd: I know that this is hated especially by the Dutch people but it's a big guilt pleasure. It's cute and I like the melody. It had been playing in my head at random times for years before I found out it was a eurovision song.
10.
- Ovo Je Balkan: This is a bit trashy tbh but the chorus is very enjoyable. The performance was a bit of weird but it was very fun.
11.
- What For: I think this was ahead of its time. The live performance was very underwhelming indeed but the song was very unusual for ESC during that time. If it participated around that time with a polished performance it could do really well.
12.
- It's All About You: I don't have too much to say. Amazing song and performance and the violin solo was awesome
13.
- Life Looks Better In Spring: For years I hated this song until I gave it a chance and it became one of my favourites. very charming song and performance.
14.
- Algo Pequenito: It's a bit weird tbh but I like a lot this kind of creepy? I guess aura that it has. The circus theme for the performance was great.
15.
- Satellite: I like the studio version a lot and it's a great radio friendly song but the performance was kinda meh. I would much rather see her winning with her 2011 song but it isn't a bad winner at all.
16.
- Horehronie: Very good song, I like a lot it's mystic forest aura but the performance wasn't from my favourites.
17.
- Drip Drop: One of their best entries but it's just has kinda got old for me. The performance could be better but it stood out.
18.
- Je Ne Sais Quoi: Another entry I used to dislike but I like it a lot right now. It's a catchy song and was performed well.
19.
- Sweet People: I'm still not sure if I like this song or not. It is kinda epic but also misses something at the same time. Great performance though.
20.
- Il Pleut De L' Or: Another song that probably should have been lower but I like it somehow. The performance wasn't very good but the studio version is enjoyable.
21.
- This Is My Life: Honestly it doesn't deserve to be their only NQ. The performance is a bit uneventful but it is still a good radio friendly song and deserved to be in the final.
22.
- Me and My Guitar: This is pretty sweet and had a good performance but other than that I'm not a very big fan of it.
23.
- OPA: I used to like it more, now I consider it so-so I don't really like listening to it, but the performance was very good.
24.
- Eastern European Funk: Fun performance but the song is a bit meh for me.
25.
- Lako Je Sve: Nice song and decent performance but I'm not a big fan of these kind of songs but it's from the better ones I have heard.
26.
- Siren: It's a pretty cool song with a great performance.
27.
- Shine: Pleasant song but lacks a bit of character for me.
28.
- Jas Ja Imam Silata: I don't like it a lot but don't dislike it either it, it stand out at least.
29.
- That Sounds Good To Me: There is a certain charm to the song but the performance was meh.
30.
- My Heart Is Yours: Great singer, decent song. Could have done a bit better.
31.
- Narodnozabavni Rock: I don't like it a lot but it's different from anything else and to some extent it's kinda enjoyable.
32.
- Legenda: I used to like it a lot but I find the performance very creepy and I don't like the song anymore.
33.
- Apricot Stone: For some reason back then I really hate it this song and to this day I still have a negative feeling towards it. However I think it's kinda better than the songs below it and had a decent performance.
34.
- Angel Si Ti: This is ok I guess, I neither like it nor dislike it.
35.
- Butterflies: Pretty boring song but the performance was decent.
36.
- Thunder and Lightning: I just can't get behind this. I don't hate it but for some reason I just can't enjoy this song.
37.
- Há Dias Assim: Same as Bosnia but I like it a lot less.
38.
- My Dream: I just find it boring and uninteresting but the performance was nice.
39.
- It's For You: Same as Malta I just like this one a bit less.
