Best non-qualifier of all time?

I feel pretty sure this isn't even recency bias. Did absolutely everything it came and needed to do! (and/just with a HORRENDOUS taste level to boot )

It even finished top ten on both metrics! Well and truly done like a kipper

Comme ci, comme ça

 

[Lucille]

OBVIOUSLY!

NO DISCOURSE PLEASE

 

[Dark Carnival]

OBVIOUSLY!

Yes!

[Tisch]

Both very EXPENSIVE looking flawless performances. Tragedies that will go down on history books.

 

[VoR]

Admittedly not brilliantly performed, but come on…

 

[auretz]

Inexplicably kept out by the juries



All of my 00s bland pop dreams come true (feat. an iconic bum note)

 

[Kratz]

OBVIOUSLY!

We’re still talking worst, yes?

 

[Kratz]

Admittedly not brilliantly performed, but come on…

Of course - not a great few years for the contest overall and this missing out was indicative

And the scandal that followed:

 

[Kratz]

If this had been Italy it would probably have won. What was Bjorkman thinking putting it on second? It was all so painfully unfair. The hubris of that man.

@SvalaWuzRobbed

As a song, very much so.

But the whole performance was so horrid that on that level I totally get why hardly anyone liked it.

Dunno about all time but our Molly really was robbed

I realised something for the first time the other night playing this- I don't think it WAS terribly performed. The sound mixing was the issue. The vocals aren't that bad, it's just sounds ROTTEN because of that.

I also think Selma had the same issue...to a lesser extent.

In terms of the song I have to go for this... I can't bring myself to post the Eurovision performance though:

Maybe one decent result could have encouraged Slovakia to stick it out a bit longer

Lost and found

It's his looks to her and to camera they still send a shiver down my spine (love the song though)

My 3 most played are all top notch examples of basic pop and I will be taking no questions

You've not chosen Rykka for the performance though I hope

LOVE Falling Stars

 

[rhythmbandit]

This one instantly springs to mind.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

I'm a sucker for a medieval Final Fantasy soundtrack reject, Plus "I'm no stay-at-home, and heady is my quest and venture mode" is still one of the greatest opening lines to an ESC song.

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

A brightly coloured dominatrix mistress singing along to a cheap 90s inspired pop beat was never gonna fare well but Europe missed out on this in the Final.

 

[Jacques]

This one instantly springs to mind.

The most shocked I remember being at a NQ.

 

[D5K]

This was my first taste of crushing NQ disappointment:

 

[auretz]

This also should be mentioned:



And this would’ve been a fun addition to the lineup in Oslo (definitely more so than several of the songs that did qualify):
