Aijā by Sudden Lights, Ulveham by Gåte and Europapa by Joost are definitely 3 of the biggest robberies of the last few years imo. Sudden Lights deserved to qualify SO MUCH, I’m genuinely still so frustrated and simply furious that they didn’t Q. Gåte also deserved much better, but hey, at least they reached the final… We don’t talk about the Joost incident, but as a Dutch person I’m still so… disappointed that our new national icon, our exporter of a frankly forgotten piece of Dutch culture, our ticket to the top 5 or even top 3, was just eliminated by the EBU on an exaggerated story.

Lord of the Lost in 2023 is still the one that hurts most for me. Getting 11th in the televote in most countries is 0 point, why not go from 1 to 27 (is it 27 countries now?) that way everyone gets points in the televote which could make things a lot more interesting imo.

Some of entries who I think were robbed/deserve better:- 1) Croatia 2021 - yeah.. getting seperate top 10 in juries and televote but not when combined... that's just sad. 2) Iceland 2020 & 2021 😢 3) Spain 2023 - my second favourite entry that year. I understand why Blanca might get lower scores in televotes as Eaea was extremely artsy, but 5 points... damn 4) Latvia 2023 - Again, I understand why Sudden Lights didn't qualify as the song wasn't very "Eurovision" (idk how to explain it, but you get what I mean). But still, it is my favourite entry that year so this one hits hard for me. 5) Norway 2024 - I did not expect this kind of outcome at all. The year where I hope to see Europe to appreciate Norwegian folk rock, only for Gåte to be placed last in the final (and the unexpected borderline qualifier) 6) Czechia 2024 - the battle for the 10th spot into the finals was between Gåte and Aiko. I wish both of them had qualified, but oh well at least Aiko won something else in the aftermath (Kat from Megara)

LOVE that you're giving Norma John their flowers, which they truly deserve! I rediscovered ''Blackbird'' in 2021 and it became one of my most listened to songs that year, and it would probably be the one of the first songs I think of when thinking about robbed entries. But apart from that I would also say: - Conan Osiris - Sudden Lights - The Humans - The fact that Lena won with ''Satellite'' when the much, much better follow up ''Taken By A Stranger'' only came 10th in a pretty weak year. If you were to put those two songs up against each other today without context, I would pretty confidently say that TBAS would perform better. - And lastly Eugent Bushpepa, because even though he got a pretty good result, I think he gets robbed in the sense that he in large parts often gets overlooked when talking about the greatest singing performances in the competitions history and all time Albanian entries. I also think he played a significant part with his result in 2018 to rock music again starting to find its foothold in the competition and encourage rock musicians to consider Eurovision more seriously. After a long negative trend of rock- and rock influenced entries having less representation in the modern era of the competition, it reached it's low point in 2017 statistically. So this encouraging result and performance the next year, couldn't have come at a better time.

Horehronie is still a huge hit here in Czechia (since, you know, us and the Slovaks were one country up until 1993 and I'd say the main cultural staples are shared between both countries) and it gets played on the radio quite frequently. This, Malá dáma (Czech entry from 2007) and Hard Rock Hallelujah were pretty much the only songs I knew before getting into Eurovision last year. And yes, I was shocked with every single one of them, when I found out they were Eurovision entries.

Denmark 2021 - Again what you said about the scandinavian languages, but also the fact that it was something else than the middle of the road, nothingburger pop that we would usually see from a scandinavian country! Finland 2023 - I am a sucker for this song, and so were so many other people. I still think Käärijä was massively robbed, and i don't think it is viable to let the juries control the winner in the way they did in 2023 (also looking at the shitshow that was Malmö 2024, we saw a repeat of this, with Nemo getting as many 12 points as they did. I am scared this will become a pattern. The juries will find their favorites and shove as many points at it as possible) - Also that a song in a language as far flung as finnish, compared to other languages, can connect with an audience in the way cha cha cha did, and still not win despite having a televote tie with unbeatable portugese man, Salvador Sobral is absolute bonkers in my opinion! Like come on they couldn't even announce the points without the audience interrupting! The Netherlands 2024 - I feel that i don't even need to elaborate here. Fuck the EBU San Marino 2024 - Yes the semi final performance fell short, but come on? I absolutely love this song, and i think it was very much robbed (honorable mention here: Poland 2024)

I agree 100% about Igranka, but I seem to be in a minority in considering 10 Years to be *way* better than Think About Things.

Great video and each time you moved on to a new country I said 'Omg yes!' .

I feel like the host country should always be put first in running order so it greatly decreases the chance for another win for them

I agree with every song on this list. Other entries that I think were robbed include: Latvia 2023: This one hurt a lot, a great song, performed well and personally whilst the staging wasn't the most optimal for the song, it still complemented the song quite nicely. Czechia 2024: A song that prior to the contest I didn't think I would be mentioning but the presentation of this looked quite professional and the vocal improved significantly from the nf. Ireland 2022: This one hurt a lot (and I may be biased coz I'm Irish). First and foremost, not that this influenced the result but I immediately noticed the lack of a title card before the performance and resulting from that, had a sinking feeling that it wasn't going to get the result it deserved. It absolutely boggles my mind how the jury ranked it so low, especially when they ranked other songs which I felt weren't presented effectively, the vocals weren't at their best etc to be higher cough *Belgium* cough (and that's coming from someone who had Belgium 9th in my top that year). I feel it was royally robbed by the jury, I can accept the televote result because I felt it was more or less reflective of the fandom's reaction to the song. But in general, I found that jury result to be extremely problematic for that semi (and I normally agree with them). I guess I'd include the Netherlands 2024, because of the disqualification and the mostly televote potential it had. Also, two entries which got the same result which I felt both deserved better, Armenia 2023, and Lithuania 2024. I personally felt that both of those performances were worthy of a top 10 finish, even if they were both pretty competitive years.

23:25 I think that's because of the last year's Kaarija performance and the boom on this electro/edm music, people were hoping for more songs like that, especially after Joost Klein's Europapa virality. Same with slavic participating countries and ukraines Go_A Shum in 2021.

My first two thoughts are Spain 2021 and 2024. I really love both songs and I'm still upset with Blas Cantó getting 0 points from public because he was amazing, and Zorra is just so much fun, how on earth could this finish 22nd???

I was so surprised with Gåte’s results. I was certain they were going to finish top 5. Gåte is a really great band with a super solid catalog.

The first video I watched of you was you talking about Portugal 2024. I genuinely thought you would put iolanda here due to how much you seemed to love the song haha

Tamara was awesome!!!! Deserved top 3 totally! Wouldn't have been mad at she won at all, even though I loved Duncan. (I would like to see Jon Lundvik's reaction shot NEVER again....during the Netherlands show they were tasteless in showing him more than once.)

Absolutely I would’ve swapped 2023’s 3rd and 17th place. Blanca, Loreen and Käärijä were that year’s holy trinity

As big sudden lights fan, they were SO robbed everytime I show the song to someone they all think it's a really well made and interesting song

I am surprised not everyone sees that Iceland would have won in 2020. Dadi finished 4th with a song that wasn't as great as Think about Things (still really good though, but it didn't go viral) and with a rehearsal video. So yes, with such a viral song, a great staging, Dadi's talent, the need for both a party and wholesomeness we felt in 2020, and the fact that Dadi is always very good live, Iceland would have won.
