Love Eurovision Advent Calendar: 24th

I've still got Christmas shopping to do today so just one 24th place video for you! And it's a good one :-)

Spain: Soraya - La Noche Es Para Mi - 24th place in Moscow with 23 points




Ok just one more then. I liked this one but no one else did.


Norway: Knut Anders Sørum - High - 24th place in Istanbul 2004 with 3 points (from Sweden)





and one last one I thought would do well that came 24th.


Denmark: Malene - Tell Me Who You Are - 24th in Tallinn 2002 with 7 points














Love Eurovision Advent Calendar: 25th

Merry Christmas!

If you're reading my blog then shame on you! You should be eating and drinking more! Then again so should I! Quickly before I go the lovely Josh Dubovie would like to share his 25th place entry 'That Sounds Good To Me' with you.





In 2009 it was Finland's turn to come 25th in the final.


Finland: Waldo's People - Lose Control - 25th at Moscow 2009 with 22 points.





Christmas needs something a little more impressive don't you think? How about the 25th country to perform in this year's Eurovision final? Denmark was my favourite entry this year so it's a fitting Christmas present from me to you. Merry Christmas!


Denmark: Chanée & N'evergreen - In A Moment Like This - 4th place in Oslo with 149 points




Oh and a final happy Christmas from the official Eurovision team


Love Eurovision Advent Calendar: 23rd

On the eve of Christmas Eve I'd like to share with you some songs that came 23rd in Eurovision. Now you'd think they'd be the real stinkers but this Dutch entry from 1994 is actually one of my favourite Eurovision entries ever. Having talked to a few friends I seem to be alone.


Netherlands: Willeke Alberti - Waar is de Zon - 23rd at Dublin 1994 with 2 points!





Only the Croatians liked this song and even they only gave it 1 point. Perhaps a little too laid back for Eurovision but it's not a dreadful song. Sounds like an Eternal album track to me.


Spain: Lydia - No quiero escuchar - 23rd at Jerusalem 1999





Ok so some songs deserve 23rd place. Each entry needs something unique to make it stand out but I don't think knitwear is a winner.


Lithuania: Aivaras - Happy you - 23rd in Tallinn 2002 with 12 points





Now how this came 23rd I don't know! And I'm not being sarcastic this time! Watch in beautiful HD.


Belgium: Xandee - 1 Life - 23rd at Istanbul 2004 with 7 points





Lithuania: Sasha Son - Love - 23rd in Moscow 2009 with 23 points





Chiara and now Niamh have shown returning to Eurovision isn't always a good idea. Lena and Yohanna beware!


Ireland: Niamh Kavanagh - It's For You - 23rd in Oslo with 25 points

Love Eurovision Advent Calendar: 22nd

I realised I've been neglecting the 90s in my advent calendar posts. Here's a lovely nil pointer from 1991 - 22nd place in Rome.


Austria: Thomas Forstner - Venedig im Regen






I think the dancing saved Finland from last place in 1994. Worth 11 points in itself!






Poor Haldor Lægreid could only manage 3 points in 2001 but he wasn't 'on his own' as Norway tied 22nd place with Iceland (see what I did there ;-) It's one of my favourite Eurovision songs actually).






Nobody wanted to touch Javine's fire and so it languished in 22nd place in 2005.







Chiara returned in 2009 hoping to go one better than her previous 2nd place. Unfortunately she just added a 2 and came 22nd.



Love Eurovision Advent Calendar: 21st

It's the 21st! Nearly Christmas! God I'm excited! Anyway it's time for some songs that came 21st in Eurovision. There are some classics trust me!


First up is Corinna May singing for Germany in 2001:






and a rather frantic Spain in 2005:





Gosh that was exhausting! Here's some 21st place lift music while I look for some more 21st place entries.



Oh now here's a great song from 2008! Can't possibly imagine why it came 21st ;-)





In 2009 it was Sweden's turn to come 21st which was a shame for Malena as she did so well in the semi final (she came 4th)!.




Only a few more days to go now. We're getting to the really good stuff now, 22nd-25th place!
