My Personal Eurovision Winners (and then some) Part VII: 2010-2020

And now we reach the final part of this 7 part series. Thank you all for actually sticking with this, because I know some people read it and that makes me a happy kitty :’)

Now, the 2010s were a weird decade for me, since this is the only decade I actually watched live. I started watching Eurovision in 2010 (though I have some vague memories of 2006), started taking notes on the contest in 2012, and started getting into the fandom around... 2014-ish. And confession: I haven’t rewatched any 10s contest since.

The 10s winners are a mixed bunch. I’d put them in the same ballpark as the 00s, only this time I really dislike the ones I dislike. Like they’d probably be bottom tier, would refuse to listen to songs. But I’m procrastinating.

2010- Spain- Daniel Diges- “Algo pequenito”

Honestly I think I only remembered this song because it had a ballet dancer in it. I didn’t even notice they got stage jumped. But then again, he fits right at home with all the other chaos on stage. 

2011- Denmark- A Friend in London- “New Tomorrow”

I remember being absolutely convinced this song would win on the night because I was led to believe that only Scandinavian countries win Eurovision these days because they pay their neighbours to vote for them or whatever shit the UK media spews out and being very disappointed when it didn’t. I learnt not to trust the UK propaganda machine after that. ... Or so I thought. ANYWAYS... I just really like this song, I found it very appealing as a 14 year old going into the contest completely blind and I find it appealing as a 24 year old now. It’s a corny late 00s/early 10s pop-rock anthem, sure but... Come on, are we really expecting anything else?

2012- Spain- Pastora Soler- “Quedate Conmigo”

Is it me or was 2012 a really terrible year? I barely remember anything from it. Aside from the winner, but I haven’t been given a chance to forget it. Lucky me. It was between Spain and Iceland for 2012 for me though, I ddn’t really want to put either since I put Spain down for 2010 and Iceland for 2013, but hey, unlike with Iceland’s song I haven’t gotten sick of this one yet  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2013- Iceland-  Eythor Ingi- “Ég á Líf”

Do you know how hard it is coming from a family of Only Teardrops stans and preferring a song that’s not only not in English but also stereotypically boring? ... The answer is not at all because I refuse to tell my family which Eurovision songs I actually like. Anyways, stick with the live version of this one, I just prefer the way he sings it. It feels a lot more heartfelt and impassioned than the studio at least.

2014- Portugal- Suzy- “Quero Ser Tua”

So despite 2014 having a lot of things people remember really fondly (ie, winning entry, runner up, stage, etc) the songs were... Well, I can barely remember anything from this year aside from the winner had a beard, the Dutch sent country and Poland sent a whole lot of boobs. And also this. I liked this. I don’t remember it not qualifying though, I must’ve left the room or something. I just remember watching the final and Portugal not being there and being very :(

2015- Serbia- Bojana Stamenov- “Beauty Never Lies”

I remember being absolutely convinced this song would win on the night because I was led to believe that- I.... probably should have learnt my lesson from 2011. But to quote myself from when I was asked to review this song... “But yes, this is either my 2015 winner or runner up depending on how I’m feeling about Heroes. Which is bizarre as all Hell given how A) I don’t usually give a fuck about Balkan entries and B) It’s… really not the kind of song I’d usually gravitate towards. I’m sure you’ve seen enough of this blog to know that “I’m different and that’s a good thing” club songs aren’t exactly my cup of coffee after all. But… yeah, for some reason I just like this song. Probably my favourite Serbian entry behind Molitva if I’m honest.”

2016- France- Amir Haddad- “J’ai cherche”

Man, anyone else remember the disappointment of spending the entire ESC season listening to a song and hyping it up, only for the live performance to suck? That’s this song. Granted the studio still goes hard af, and I still like it but man, this is the song that made me realise just how much a live performance can change a song.

2017- Croatia- Jaques Houdek- “My Friend”

I was going to put Italy for this but fuck it, I wasn’t about to have another double winner because double wins make me mad. Uh, spoilers for 2018 by the way. But this song is just proof that Croatia should be the only country in Eurovision allowed to send opera songs. Namely because they’ve sent like, what, two and they’ve both been amongst my favourite entries of that year. 

2018- Italy- Ermal Meta & Fabrizio Moro- “Non mi avette fatto niente”

Oh my basic, basic ass fave. How I wish you’d come second. How I wish you’d come first.

2019- Malta- Michaela Pace- “Chameleon”

I ALMOST went with Romania for this, but I wanted to limit myself to one NQ winner and I blew that card on 2014. Not that it matters much because unlike 2014, I found 2019 to be a fairly strong year. Granted there were a few songs that were so shoved in my face I’d rather drink a tall glass of cold vomit than listen to them ever again (see: Soldi), but there were still a lot of songs I would probably say could make it into my top three of that country. This being one of them. Now Malta is a pretty terrible country in Eurovision, in my opinion. Their 70s entries are completely forgettable, their 90s entries are some of the worst Eurovision songs I’ve heard, and the 00s is a mix of both. Thankfully they’ve managed to clean themselves up in recent years; their 2017 and 18 entries both deserved to qualify in my opinion, and their 2019 entry is the best they’ve ever sent. 

2020- Ukraine- Go_A- “Solovey”

So 2020 blew ass in terms of songs, but this song didn’t blow ass at all let’s try and talk about it for a while. Key word being try, because I’m bored and I want to get this posted as soon as possible. Anyways, this song was love at first listen. An immediate download. Had it on loop for like, an hour. I just fell for this song, and I still absolutely love it.

Aaaand that’s a wrap! This wasn’t as fun as I’d hoped it would be, but it’s something I wanted to do for a while :D

[no-passaran]

I'm from the US originally and I was so excited to see my first Eurovision because I was looking forward to hearing music in French, Spanish, Czech, Italian, German, etc. Then I was in for a huge disappointment when I heard most of the songs were in English :(

Every year I get or see a message like this from an American 😅 even if in the USA it's the standard to sing in your language (English), it's not like that everywhere.

That happens almost every year in Eurovision because songs in English always do better, not just in Eurovision but in normal radios etc. Lots of singers from different countries sing in English even in their countries, and for a lot of people it's "easier" to listen to music in English or Spanish (even when they aren't good at English/Spanish) because people automatically assume something in English is better than something in their language (unless it's Spanish or French, who produce a lot of music in the country and their ex-colonies and are very nationalistic) and better than in some language considered weird. Some countries (I'm thinking Italy, Greece and Germany) have an industry of music in their language, but many others have interiorized that they're not good.

In my county, probably about 95% of all music in trendy radios is in English. Luckily in Catalonia we are starting to break the taboo of writing music in our language (though in our case we have that taboo stronger, not only because we aren't English but most importantly because our language has been persecuted and discriminated against for so long that we all have interiorized that to some point), but a lot of people still refuse to even give it a try. But we've come a long way, like 7 years ago I tried to get my friends into my favourite band at the time (Obrint Pas) who sang in Catalan and they completely refused to listen to it when I said their name and it wasnt an English name because they said all music in our language is tacky.

Same happens with movies btw.

However, if you want to hear some good non-meme ESC songs from the last few years in the singer's language (there's a lot more obviously, I'm just listing ones I liked):

J'ai cherché - Amir (2015) is in French with the chorus in English

Adio - Knez (2015) is in Montenegrin

Soldi - Mahmood (2019) is in Italian

La Venda - Miki (2019) is in Spanish

Molitva - Marija Šerifović (2007) is in Serbian

Requiem - Alma (2017) is in French and English

De la Capat - Voltaj (2015) is in Romanian

Non mi avete fatto niente - Ermal Meta and Fabrizio Moro (2018) is in Italian

Occidentali's Karma - Francesco Gabbani (2017) is in Italian

Historyja Majho žyccia - Naviband (2017) is in Belarussian

Loin d'ici - ZOË (2016) is in French representing Austria because the singer is part of the French-speaking minority of Austria

Ég á líf - Eythor Ingi (2013) is in Icelandic

Mall - Eugent Bushpepa (2018) is in Albanian

Amar pelos dois - Salvador Sobral (2017) is in Portuguese

Viszlát Nyár - AWS (2018) in in Hungarian

Origo - Joci Pápai (2017) is in Hungarian and Romani

These are the ones I can think of rn that were pretty good. If you look at the singers who sang in English, when they're in their respective countries they often sing in their language. For example, Eleni Foureira has lots of songs in Greek (like Vassilissa or Sto Theo Me Paei), maNga have all their songs except the Eurovision one in Turkish (like Cevapsız Sorular, Yine Yeni Yeniden, or Beni Benimle Bırak), etc.

Though if you’re looking for music you probably shouldn’t be looking for it in Eurovision. Eurovision is more about the spectacle really, and kinda looked down upon in some countries so actual famous musicians from many countries would never accept to go to Eurovision.
