My Top 100 ESC Entries- Semi 1 (88-85)

Nov 24, 2020 by SeaViper
Welcome to my working out of my 100 favorite entries from Eurovision in the last ten years. I have split the decade into three sections (2010-2012, 2013-2016, 2017-2020) each split into three Semis. I have started with 2017-2020. I then picked the top 25 from each year, making the top 100 for this semi. Then, I chose the top 33 to advance to the final. But, before I reveal who the final 100 are, I thought it'd be (Not very) fun to show the Songs that placed 34th and beyond, so good luck

#88: Chingiz "Truth"
Country: Azerbaijan
Year: 2019
Placement: 8th



The first Azeri entry on the list! This is sadly one of their weaker songs and this only ranks about 2011 in my ranking of their songs. The voice is really impressive though, even a woman would struggle to sing that high, but the song isn't special

#87: Natalia Gordienko "Prison"
Country: Moldova
Year: 2020
Place: Contest Cancelled



Lots of people dislike this song. For me, it's not terrible, but not something I'd keep on repeat. I have found it quite catchy though, and have found myself humming the tune multiple times in the car. It would have flopped, but I still enjoy it!

#86: The Humans "Goodbye"
Country: Romania
Year: 2018
Place: NQ



This song is honestly forgettable in the ether of ESC songs. One positive thing I can say is that it weakened the blow for Ester's NQ the year after, as these guys were Romania's first flop. The song isn't bad but gets a bit above Prison and Truth because my opinion's never changed on this, it's been in the higher '20s for 2018 ever since I first heard it, meanwhile, the others tend to dip in and out of the 30's

#85: Claudia Pascoal "O Jardim"
Country: Portugal
Year: 2018
Place: 26th



This song is certainly not for new people, and it functions as a grower. When I first heard it, I ranked it in the Bottom 5 for 2018, and when it came on in the contest, I went to re-fill my snacks. This song is a grower though, and I like it more every time I hear it. Give it another year and it may end up in my Top 15 for 2018. Unfortunately, this flopped due to the fact that it's a grower, and for people only listening to the final, they couldn't appreciate it. If the competition was longer, I think this could have done very well

Episode 4 done! 21 to go! This zone of songs is one that constantly changes in my rankings. May some have only gotten this far because I liked them on the day I ranked them, but if I did it again they may be much lower, or even have dropped off the lost entirely
