Worst qualifier of all time?

[Penelope]

This one's doing the rounds at the minute on Twitter. What's your worst of all time?

 

[Penelope]

Probably the least listenable one for me.

 

[Jacques]

Has to be "Cheesecake". Not just god awful, but also really confusing considering that Belarus don't exactly have a spectacular track record.

 

[VoR]

Denmark took some truly hideous shite to the finals in the 00s

 

[VoR]

Although as much as it reeks of recency bias, Boys Do Cry was a terrible, terrible qualifier.

 

[VoR]

This was FOUL

 

[Kratz]

Although as much as it reeks of recency bias, Boys Do Cry was a terrible, terrible qualifier.

FOUL.

Problematic Isaiah’s ‘Don’t Come Easy’ was also garbage - but dull rather than objectively awful.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I refuse to so much as link to it, but that PORTUGESE SHITE that had the temerity to not only qualify, but WIN.

 

[Kratz]

Diaspora pulled this flatly performed nothing through by the skin of its teeth. Juries rightfully tanked it.

 

[Suomi]

So pointless that it changed the way songs could qualify

 

[VoR]

Obviously some of the very worst qualifiers were the ones that auto-qualified due to their respective countries doing well the previous year during 04-07.

I would love to know the viewer dropout rate during the first 4 songs of the 2006 final. Absolute horror show.

I swear we saw the same group three times!

 

[Kratz]

That recap also briefly made me think I like Alvedansen…but I don’t.

[Madíson]

Dreadful

 

[Kratz]

Dreadful

LIES! It brought a bit of life to a tepid year.

And it was a televote top 10

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Dreadful

WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT

 

[Madíson]

Don’t get me started on democracy.

 

[Suomi]

Strongly disagree with some of these.

Lonely Planet is probably in my top 500 ever

Something is Erasure gone wrong. Love the shoe lyric

Say Na Na Na is the dream of every ageing homosexual come true. With money, anything is possible and to the rich queens who want to spend their inheritance on coming 22nd at Eurovision I say na na na.

 

[D5K]

This must be the correct answer to this question.

 

[Kratz]

This actually knocks me SICK

 

[Kratz]

WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT

I never want a Eurovision where there isn’t space for a song like Na Na Na

 

[Velvet Skies]

 

[Kratz]

I was going to suggest this, but wondered about recency bias. However, it is absolutely foul.

 

[Madíson]

I never want a Eurovision where there isn’t space for a song like Na Na Na

Nanana > Say Na Na Na

 

[VoR]

I will never listen to Mama ŠČ again, but it's the kind of nonsense that you really need for a truly classic Eurovision lineup, so I don't especially resent it.

 

[Beverley]

That recap also briefly made me think I like Alvedansen…but I don’t.

Get her @VoR

 

[Kratz]

Get her @VoR

Don’t come for me!

It’s a nice song but she screeches her way through it

 

[Jacques]

Denmark took some truly hideous shite to the finals in the 00s

I rather like all of these, especially "All Night Long"

 

[Suomi]

Don’t come for me!

It’s a nice song but she screeches her way through it

Well what do you expect, the poor woman is being attacked by ELVES

 

[auretz]

Nothing like an English lyric that doesn’t even fit the tune

 

[VoR]

I think this one has its fans, but I just find it completely dreadful.



If you really love the love you say you love, really love
Then surely that love would love
Then surely that love would love to love you back

 

[VoR]

Also, what a boring opener for a great final!

 

[Suomi]

Sorry but I hate this so much, nice message but it’s just a very ugly melody

 

[D5K]

2015 has loads of candidates for this prize (Hungary, Romania, Cyprus, Azerbaijan), but you turn against a banger instead?

 

[auretz]

Did anyone even care about this at all? It seemingly qualified on the basis of performing last, denying us of an Andorran qualifier or the sheer WTFery that would've been Portugal making it in that semi.

 

[Velvet Skies]

Although I never played that song again after the 2015 final and have no idea of what it sounds like, I remember actively disliking it

 

[Hak]

There's a melody in there somewhere

Good if you wanna fall asleep
