I had watched it the year before, but this was the first year I really payed attention to the Contest. Why? It was during my being obsessed with Pirates phase, and Latvias entry for 2008 will remain my favourite ESC song EVER
this was my favourite ESC so far! so many good songs and all are different :D Armenia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Finland, Iceland, Turkey, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, so various! I loved it! :D
2008 I thought that the Eurovision Song Contest can't become any worse and hoped for a miracle and then, 2009, ESC finally became fun again! By changing the rules and reintegrating a jury, the niveau of the participants and their music rose up to a level way better than I could have imagined! Thank you very much, EBU!
@@diiegu21 2008 had too much filler the segments could be dragged on too long and if they ran out of ideas they could just repeat the segment to fill up the running time
2008 was a great year for Eurovision!!! I'm Russian, so I'm biased in favor of our song: at least it had a deeper meaning to it. But I loved so many other songs too! Spain, Ukraine, Armenia, Portugal, Sweden, Czech Republic, and my personal favorite, Slovenia.

+George Austin Tay Please tell me you are kidding. I always thought Greece entry was average but compared with most of these entries it is a fucking masterpiece. Greece, Russia, SERBIA and Norway are good. The rest - OMG. Either the awful staging, or horrible voice, or horrible song, or everything.
Euxiphipops77 what are you even talking about? That year was full of fun, uptempo songs as well as good ballads. Greece, Armenia and Ukraine were memorable and catchy. Serbia, Norway and Georgia had beautiful ballads. Czech Republic had a trashy entry that was my guilty pleasure. Russia's song was just trash tho
12pts - Albania 10pts - Armenia 8pts - Turkey 7pts - Greece 6pts - Russia 5pts - Portugal 4pts - Israel 3pts - Denmark 2pts - Ukraine 1pts - Norway From Sweden but this is not a good year. Albania, Armenia and Turkey are the only ones I really like
El primer Festival de Eurovisión que vi en vivo, al cual le tengo un cariño especial. Uno de mis años favoritos, por supuesto, aunque hubiese preferido la victoria de Ani Lorak, grande entre las Divas :D
God, I remember this eurovision :) I never expected so many people loving the Portuguese song :) My top ten of this year: 1- Sweden (I just love her voice and the powerful song) 2- Portugal (I'm amazed by the powerful song) 3- Russia (Beautiful song. They deserved the win) 4- Israel (Wonderful song with a good voice) 5- Iceland (I love the beat and how great it sounded) 6- Ukraine (Awesome beat, great singer) 7- Georgia (I believe it's an amazing song and i love the singer's voice) 8- Greece (Cute looking girl, good voice) 9- Poland (Her voice is just beautiful) 10- Latvia (....what? I like Pirate songs.) HM- Croatia (I dunno why, but the way the old man was looking at the girl dancing cracks me up)
It was really great time here in Belgrade! I think that we made a brilliant show and I think that every guest had a good time! And we will try again next year ;)

+Victor Gómez Hahaha you're so right.
I'm back after eurovision 2024, a weak year with less than 10 nice songs. Eurovision 2008 has always been the greatest one with so many strong songs ❤

LOVED Azerbaijan that year!
Poland qualified instead of Slovenia? Why...
Israel, Ukraine and Armenia were the best that night. But if i have to choose one it would be Ukraine. Catchy song, nice choreo and very good voice
The stage was ahead of its time
Serbia is always ahead of its time. ❤

That's right and it was a great message :PP
