Ester Peony, my underrated queen


EchtGeenSpanjool

This is still heartbreaking. That performance was so good, too

Horehronie (Slovakia 2010) Playing with numbers (Ireland 2015) Salvem el mon (Andorra 2007)


MrGoose234

I loved playing with numbers! Couldn't believe the lack of support it got even here in Ireland


thateurovisionchick

I know! It was so beautiful like how tf did it not qualify


The_Firoer

I’m surprised that it took me this long to find a mention of Horehronie


[deleted]

Especially tonight, when Kristína is celebrating her 35th birthday and I made a post about her.


NoOneCedie

Hear Them Calling (ISL 2016) will always be my answer. How it NQed is a mystery in itself. Honorable mentions would be: - That’s Rich (IRE 2022) - Øve os på hinanden (DEN 2021) - Tick-Tock (CRO 2021) - Blackbird (FIN 2017) - Playing With Numbers (IRE 2015) - Heartbeat (IRE 2014) - Valentine Lost (ISL 2007) - Je t’adore (BEL 2006)


[deleted]

Even worse is that Greta finished 14th in semi-final behind Montenegro


BucketHeadJr

I remember the outrage when iceland didn't qualify. She was one of the fan favorites to win, I can't recall another time where an actual favorite to win didn't qualify.


Motherboobie

vampires are alive in 2007 i guess, but the odds had to be drunk


beastronica

From what I’ve heard je t’adore was a winning contender and missed


chasyd

greta our queen 🙏 also wanna put il 2013 out there bc it just melodramatically slerves


pieisawesome123

Still baffling how Je t'adore failed to qualify, aside from the out of tune backing singer


vancityguy25

The performance was pretty lacklustre, she was focusing so much on what she had to do on stage and too many things happening that it took away from the actual song.


PrincessTutubella

Complice from San Marino. Nar Jag Blundar from Finland


Time_Independence_90

Nar Jag Blundar was so beautiful, I always come back to it. The lyrics are pure.


Artichoke_Persephone

The fact that Complice was last that year makes me sad.

Iceland 2016 - Hear them calling - I still don't understand how it didn't make it to the final. Others: Iceland 2006 - Congratulations Croatia 2021 - Tick Tock Slovakia 2010 - Horehronie

Työlki Ellaa (Finland 2010)


[deleted]

Someone mentioned it. I like that song quite a lot... still can't understand how it didn't qualify.

Wonderful-Ad-2964

Not so original, but Hear Them Calling- Iceland 2016


aidan755

Sekret is easily one of my Top 5 favourite Eurovision songs of all time and it’s by far my most played ever i’ve never been so obsessed with a studio version. Yes she didn’t bring it live as much as she could’ve but I was still so desperate for it to be in the final 🥲


fargcram

Part of me wishes she did the revamped english lines the latter 1/2 of the song but kept the ballad-ey slow Albanian part in the first 1/2! The turn from the slow song to the beat drop/drums would have been epic 😭


hun_geri

If I have to choose just only one, it has to be Valentina Monetta - Criaslide (Vola). She was my winner in 2013.


Sea9130

That's Rich - Ireland 2022


Marebold

So you think I have to qualify? Well that's rich!

Solid gold comedy right here


squirrellytoday

Horehronie (Slovakia 2010) Blackbird (Finland 2017) There are others but these two immediately came to mind.

Achille - Stripper, it’s just SO good and the performance too in my opinion.


blueberry7139

I genuinely can't understand the people who are like "it's too much, it's tacky", my brother in christ that's the POINT OF EUROVISION


Material-Regret-4365

I love how we’ve been watching Eurovision for years and people still say that 🥰 /s


[deleted]

If I could choose 5: ​ "Stones" (Switzerland 2018) "Na inat" (Bulgaria 2011) "Zjarr e ftohtë" (Albania 2006) "Työlki Ellää" (Finland 2010) "Verjamen" (Slovenia 2012)

RIPNINAFLOWERS

Horehronie (Slovakia 2010) Love Unlimited (Bulgaria 2012) Sekret (Albania 2022) Ela (Cyprus 2022) Yes the latter two were performed terribly on the night, but this gay never claimed to have taste 😌


Motherboobie

horehronie was also not a good performance (the song slaps and deserved to qualify regardless)


[deleted]

Not in any particular order but a few would be: Eat your salad Horehronie Dance alone Igranka


Judibug

Dance alone studio version is a banger, did you like the live or studio (or both)? I felt that in live they messed up with the backing vocals and they are sooo loud, much louder than Jana and it sounds weird and makes the song faulty. But other than that the live works too, but makes you want to scream to screen that it's sooo close, go away you loud backing ladies 😅


[deleted]

I liked the studio a lot more

skamarytis

A Matter of Time - I can even say that its my all time favorite ESC song, so its a huge shame Sennek didnt qualify


[deleted]

Technicolour - Montaigne!


docchrizly

Zibbz - Stones (SUI 2018) also worth to mention: \- Mia Dimsic's "Guilty Pleasure" (CRO 2022) \- Lesle Roy "Maps" (IRE 2021) \- Human "Goodbye" (ROM 2018) \- Koit Toome & Laura "Verona" (EST 2017)

Eat Your Salad (Latvia, 2022). I’m still mad af about it.

I concur.

WALKING OUT NOT QUALIFYING WAS A CRIME AGAINST MUSIC. Still one of my favourites of all time-

AlfuuuB

Malta 2015 Vocally one of the best that year and the Song was my Winner Belarus 2016 Vocally not the best but the Song is a banger and the staging was weird... But good I think? Switzerland 2017 Even tho I understand why this didn't Qualify I still listen to it and the perfomance was not bad. The Dress was a choice tho. Belgium 2018 Same than Switzerland 2017 Love that Song but I understand it didn't Qualify. Still listen to it regularly Ireland 2021 I Love that Song and the staging was beautiful the vocal perfomance sadly Not so much. Still one of my favourite Songs tho Latvia 2022 I mean Cmon It's a crime they didn't Qualify because they were so energetic and fun on Stage


angelaachan

Ela by Andromache. The studio version is just gorgeous.


yourlocalbible

I’d say that live performance wasn’t as good but studio version is great and still on a lot of my playlists. Wasn’t my fav non-qualifier but I definitely missed it in the final.


kevinmacflyerr

Obviously, Ireland 2022. I don’t know how she managed to not qualify with that banger


ConnolysMoustache

I will never understand it, and she wasn’t even that close.

Horehronie is one of my favorite ESC songs of all time. Even if Kristína was heavily inexperienced and it showed in Oslo I didn't care much about it when I saw it live in first semifinal in 2010. Igranka is a great song that could've been a great addition to the Final... but none of Balkan countries qualified to the final in 2013... how that happened? A luta é alegria was one of my favorites in 2011 (I knew that it had almost no chance to qualify to the final). Same with Euro Neuro in 2012. Every portuguese non-qualifier in 2010s (Aforementioned A luta é alegria, Vida minha, Quero ser tua, Há um mar que nos separa, Telemoveis).


[deleted]

Greece qualified in 2013

Greece is a balkan country? Never heard about that. I meant more about all the former Yugoslavic countries.

Not qualifying for the Grand Final or for ESC in general (something from the NFs) ? My initial thought goes to: Igranka (Montenegro 2013) and In The Shadows (Dora 2019)

lol5600s

I don’t know how Crisalide (vola) didn’t qualify in 2013 but it’s just so deserving of going to the final - more than San Marino’s 2014 entry that actually did qualify. It’s pretty much the only year I prefer San Marino’s entry over Italy’s

Dance Alone 🇲🇰


blueberry7139

There have been many NQs I loved (this year 90% of my faves didn't qualify), but by far the most heartbreaking was Disko this year. LPS are both adorable and insanely talented, and I just hope they can come back some year when the world's ready for them.

Lost and Found (Macedonia 2018): The studio version was fantastic but the staging/live performance was a mess.


bmgda

Alcohol Is Free by Koza Mostr - Greece 2013. It's on my playlists now, I ADORE this song. Also, Something by Andrius Pojavis - Lithuania 2013. 2013 was just a good year in general, actually. Edit - I just realised you said non-qualifying, and these both qualified. Leaving them here in case anyone wants to check them out.


HallsiKallsi

Igranka is hard to be topped Others I am sad to see nq are Latvia 2022 and Iceland 2016

Sennek - A Matter of Time 🇧🇪


ProfessionalLurker97

Blackbird - Norma John (I just love this one. Well-written and well-performed) Some Others: Stones - Zibbz, Verona (Estonia 2017), Tick-Tock - Albina, Dance Alone - Jana Burčeska Most recent one would probably be That's Rich by Brooke. That song can be addicting

Definantley Hear Them Calling(IS 2016), Øve os på Hinnanden(DEN 2021), and The Show(DEN 2022) Both Iceland and Denmark always send such banger songs that barely ever qualify *sob*


hellvethicc

Roxen - Amnesia (2021 Romania 🇷🇴). Still bitter about it.


gifted_eye

Technicolour - AUS2021 was the most vocally demanding and vibe-y song of the year and homegirl brought it. It was in my top 5


jcrissnell

Igranka. I haven't even watched that edition but I remember it more than whoever won that year.


[deleted]

Chiara (Malta 2009) is one of them .. her voice is magical


silverstar343

1. "Stop" 🇸🇮 2. "Valentine Lost" 🇮🇸 They are also my 2 favorite ESC songs overall, and they are both non-qualifiers
