Best Eurovision song ever?

[SmellyOldOwls]

Has to be Euphoria for me!

Sorry the above was meant to be a reply to @Facciadimerda

Waterloo
Rise like a Phoenix
Puppet on a String

No love for Alf Poier of Austria?

Surely Love Love Peace Peace it had absolutely everything that makes a Eurovision song a winner...

Totally. Every time I feel a bit down I watch that and feel instantly cheered up. And it is such a tune! If it had been a genuine entry it would have won!

From the real entries my favourite is Rise like a Phoenix

I don't mind the song but it's the performance that makes it the greatest! He pops out of a basket, looks like he's chasing after a bus at one point, and by the end it looks like they might both pass out. I'm sure I remember that they were originally meant to have live chickens on stage as well but it was against the rules. Just trying to imagine the extra chaos that would have added

Love Love Peace Peace.

Or possibly Pif Paf Pof.

Yes to Lordi and obsessed with Maneskin. Still watching them on You tube. I liked the Israeli couple Esther and Ibi who sang Cinderella Rockerfella, Vicky Amos (Apres Toi), years ago a French singer sand a song I cannot remember much of but Bleu was in the song. I think some other Israelis sang Halleluyah. I usually like Iceland - either the song or the singer is cute.

By the way I saw that comedy film about Iceland's entry for Eurovision (Will Farrell was in it). I really enjoyed it!

Zitti e Buoni - love Maneskin and this is one hell of a performance
Sebastian Tellier - we bought his album off the strength of his performance for France, absolutely brilliant
Lena - Satellite
Tom Dice - Me and my guitar
Loreen - Euphoria

And I can't believe there's been no mention of the original performance from the Epic Sax Guy! We loved this- Run Away by Moldova (Sunstroke Project)

1964, Italy with "Non Ho L'Eta". There's a sound recording but only a bit of film on you tube.

Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi
J’aime La Vie
Fairytale
Leddit Swing

Take Me To Your Heaven (heavy Waterloo inspiration!)
The Portuguese one (you know which one I mean)
Tu te reconnaitrais / Beautiful Dream
Hold Me Now

Spirit In The Sky by Keiino, they should have won with that song!

They would have if it hadn't been for the jury vote.

A Little Peace by Nicole.

Ein Bisschen Friede was saccharine crap.
As for 'J'aime la vie' - that didn't even have lyrics.

That was BobbySocks:

This one is right up there. Such a shame that there wasn't some sort of competition in 2020 and this would have won for sure:

Waterloo.

1972 - 'Apres Toi' (English Translation - 'Come What May') by Vicky Leandros representing Luxembourg. It was the first single I bought and still one of my favourite songs to this day!

Yes I loved it to0 but my all time favourite was the Italian winner by Maneskin. I still listen to their CD!
