As we get to the end of the decade I've been looking at my favourite songs from each country over the last ten years. Some of these choices were easy, some were really hard either for good reasons (Azerbaijan; I love over half of them) or bad ones (Lithuania; literally nothing that I really liked).
Albania - 2010 - Juliana Pasha: It's All About You
Armenia - 2014 - Aram Mp3: Not Alone
Australia - 2019 - Kate Miller-Heidke: Zero Gravity
Austria - 2016 - Zoe: Loin D'ici
Azerbaijan - 2010 - Safura: Drip Drop (this was the hardest decision of the lot, vs. 2013 and 2016)
Belarus - 2011 - Anastasia Vinnikova: I Love Belarus
Belgium - 2013 - Roberto Bellarosa: Love Kills
Bosnia & Herzegovina - 2010 - Vukašin Brajic: Thunder and Lightning
Bulgaria - 2018 - Equinox: Bones
Croatia - 2010 - Femminem: Lako je sve
Cyprus - 2018 - Eleni Foureira: Fuego
Czech Republic - 2016 - Gabriela Guncikova: I Stand
Denmark - 2010 - Chanée & N'evergreen: In a Moment Like This
Estonia - 2017 - Koit Toome & Laura: Verona
Finland - 2018 - Saara Aalto: Monsters
France - 2018 - Madame Monsieur: Mercy
Georgia - 2016 - Nika Kocharov & Young Georgian Lolitaz: Midnight Gold
Germany - 2013 - Cascada: Glorious
Greece - 2015 - Maria-Elena Kyriakou: One Last Breath
Hungary - 2011 - Kati Wolf: What About My Dreams?
Iceland - 2010 - Hera Bjork: Je ne sais quoi
Ireland - 2013 - Ryan Dolan: Only Love Survives
Israel - 2014 - Mei Finegold: Same Heart
Italy - 2014 - Emma: La mia citta
Latvia - 2016 - Justs: Heartbeat
Lithuania - 2016 - Donny Montell: I’ve Been Waiting For This Night
Malta - 2019 - Michela Pace: Chameleon
Moldova - 2018 - DoReDoS: My Lucky Day
Montenegro - 2015 - Knez: Adio
Netherlands - 2014 - The Common Linnets: Calm After The Storm
North Macedonia - 2017 - Jana Burceska: Dance Alone
Norway - 2019 - KEiiNO: Spirit in the Sky
Poland - 2016 - Michal Szpak: Color of Your Life
Portugal - 2017 - Salvador Sobral: Amar pelos dois
Romania - 2010 - Paula Seling and Ovi: Playing With Fire
Russia - 2016 - Sergey Lazarev: You Are The Only One
San Marino - 2013 - Valentina Monetta: Crisalide (Vola)
Serbia - 2015 - Bojana Stamenov: Beauty Never Lies
Slovakia - 2010 - Kristina Pelakova: Horehronie
Slovenia - 2011 - Maja Keuc: No One
Spain - 2012 - Pastora Soler: Quedate conmigo
Sweden - 2012 - Loreen: Euphoria
Switzerland - 2018 - ZiBBZ: Stones
Turkey - 2010 - maNga: We Could Be The Same
Ukraine - 2013 - Zlata Ognevich: Gravity
United Kingdom - 2011 - Blue: I Can
Interestingly the split of these between years is:
2010: 9
2011: 4
2012: 2
2013: 5
2014: 4
2015: 3
2016: 7
2017: 3
2018: 6
2019: 3
That isn't too surprising, 2016 is possibly my favourite contest of the decade, while 2011-12 always seemed weak to me.
