Oh that's fun!

:12: :no: 1995 - best winner of all times, period!!!!
:10: :ie: 1993 - I was rooting for her!
:8: :ie: 1992 - I was rootinger for her!
:7: :ie: 1994 - I was not rooting for them at all, I think Poland and Hungary were upset, but now I like it. Not so much as PL and HU
:6: :il: 1998 - glad it won over Malta, but I find other songs in the Top 6 better
:5: :it: 1990 - I was shook, my dad even more. The winner felt so wrong at the time. But I am ok with it now
:4: :ie: 1996 - One victory too many for Ireland, I don't live for it
:3: :se: 1991 - Outrageous victory over a tie-break. Should not have happened
:2: :uk: 1997 - This song does nothing for me. But it was also a bad year.
:1: :se: 1999 - Hate it. Lazy shit. Poor Iceland!

I also think my country was robbed from better placements on several ocassions. I was a young kid, and thought our placements are not right.

Venedig im Regen was so catchy, Keine Mauer mehr I loved, Zusammen Gehn, Weils dr guat got and Reflection.... as a kid I already realized the depression that comes with Song Contest. On the other hand, I thought Maria Magdalena, Die ganze Welt dreht sich verkehrt and One Step were terrible choices that should have landed lower. I was ashamed by the 12 points from Bosnia in 1993 for good neighbourship, but not for the merits of our song.

:10: :se: Charlotte Nilsson - Take Me To Your Heaven (1999)
:8: :il: Dana International - Diva (1998)
:7: :se: Carola - Fångad av en stormvind (1991)

:2: :ie: Paul Harrington & Charlie McGettigan - Rock 'n' Roll Kids (1994)
:1: :it: Toto Cutugno - Insieme (1990)

On the whole I really don't think :ie: sent anything special apart from 1996, they were just taking advantage of Eurovision being ballad-loving at the time tbh.

I love the songs I've ranked from 1-3 here, like 4-6 and then not a fan of the rest
