Denmark

Our final Nordic nation, musically speaking Denmark have a somewhat deserved reputation for landing squarely in the middle of the road. It works more often than it doesn't though, and aside from a brief blip from 2015-2016 they've consistently done very well indeed, peaking in 2013 with their third win.

Germany

Germany started strong in the 2010s with a hugely popular win from Lena. They managed to keep up the momentum for a couple of years, before very much going off the boil. Excluding one brief moment of respite in 2018, it's been failure after failure ever since, including a dreaded NUL POINTER in 2015.





















2010: Lena - Satellite
2011: Lena - Taken By a Stranger
2012: Roman Lob - Standing Still
2013: Cascada - Glorious
2014: Elaiza - Is It Right?
2015: Ann Sophie - Black Smoke
2016: Jamie-Lee - Ghost
2017: Levina - Perfect Life
2018: Michael Schulte - You Let Me Walk Alone

Ah those wacky Ukrainians! Responsible for one of the most bizarre holidays of my life thanks to their unexpected victory in 2016. This selection is more of a mixed bag than I would have predicted, but when they do hit they tend to hit hard. Political and financial issues kept them away in 2015 and 2019.

















2010: Alyosha - Sweet People
2011: Mika Newton - Angel
2012: Gaitana - Be My Guest
2013: Zlata Ognevich - Gravity
2014: Mariya Yaremchuk - Tick Tock
2016: Jamala - 1944
2017: O. Torvald - Time
2018: Mélovin - Under The Ladder

Didn't either Lighthouse X or Anti Social Media prevent something PROPERLY AMAZING from getting through the Danish national selection?

Good job Soluna Samay wore THAT HAT too otherwise she truly would have been lost down the back of the sofa.

Lighthouse X beat Heart Shaped Hole by Simone, which was indeed amazing.

I'll post the studio version. The live was just SAD

 
Also, I know it's not 'trendy' of me, but I fucking love Sister. The impassioned shrieks from the audience when they were told they got no points... truly event television.
 
That sounds about right. Human and League of Light are proof of Denmark's dedication to avoiding memorable entries at all costs.
I don't know. I found Leonora pretty fucking memorable.

If she'd have done as I wanted and fallen off that stupid fucking chair, it might have stuck with me.

Only after seeing the Ukrainian songs in a big list have I realised they've entered precisely one song in the last decade I like. Awful.
 
Very disappointing list for Ukraine there. I think it might be my least favourite of the three.
 
Wow Germany had a mid-decade run of complete forgettableness didn't they? Mind you they probably say the same about us.

Perfect Life is definitely a strong contender for the least memorable Eurovision finalist of the decade. (Netherlands 2011 clearly win that title overall)
 
OMG why did it take Ms Cascada SO LONG to get off those pointless steps :D

Potentially the most redundant golden shower ever seen at Eurovision also.

Weirdly I think Glorious was quite successful for a flop Eurovision song. I heard it quite a bit in the UK in gyms and shit clothes shops. An H&M changing room SMASH! :disco:
 
Done. That top 3 for Germany is incredibly strong. A shame about one of the performances.
 
Germany were definitely my favourite of this round. Yeah, they had a run of shitness mid-decade, but their good was very good. Denmark are far too fond of their cosy cardigan pop, and Ukraine have been generally shit.
 
There's a very clear divide for me in the Ukraine between four fabulous entries and four that are pretty much a complete waste of time.
 
I literally only see one good SONG in the Ukraine lot, they really are all about the batshit on-night presentation as opposed to anything with an ounce of substance.

Such a SHAME Maruv never made it to 2019
Maruv would have been the EASIEST 12 I've given out so far. As it is, the song that got my 12 would have been a sporting 6 in most other rankings.
 
Maruv wouldn't have changed my top 3 in Ukraine tbh

I think we've had similar tastes a lots of weeks, but no Germany is so so bad.
 
Germany's songs aren't AWFUL. By and large, they're all fairly nice but rather pedestrian, and a bit forgettable. But they're all mostly 6/10. One thing about Perfect Life I DID love was the camera shot at the start.
 
Done listening to Ukraine now. They had a STYLE from 2010 to 2013 (apart from Gaitana), nothingy songs performed by shouty women. Now I need to tell these apart before I can score them.
