Hey! Just wanna make sure that you understood the concept of this video 🥰 In this video, I'll show you which non-qualifying entries of each country I personally like the most! Sometimes I added little comments but what I always did is showing you which non-qualifying entries were close to be in this video instead of the showed entry. 😊 If it says "none", it doesn't mean this country has no good nqs anymore - it only means that I extremly prefer the chosen entry over the other non-qualifiers of the country, so no entry is "close" to the chosen one. If it says "no more nqs", it means that the entry that is shown is the only non-qualifying entry of this country in their eurovision history and therefore the only option. And if you see other entries in the left corner - it shows that I also really like those entries and they were close to being in this list instead of the chosen non-qualifying entry (or at least so good, that I had to mention them). If you have questions or any opinions about the entries, the video or in general anything - just write it in the comments, I answer everything 🤗💖
Hey. I hope you find this comment well. Just want to let you know that the selected entry for Italy was actually the winning song for ESC 2021. I wasn't sure if that was just a mistake or you intended to put that entry there with a comment since I'm blind, thus cannot read your commments displayed in the video.
@@ESCedi Oh okay. That makes sense. I thought that for the big 5, you would play entries that received the lowest number of points given that they're automatic qualifiers but how you prefer doing it with playing your favourites for those, it makes a lot of sense.
@@danielcabral6610 the comment in the video explains that I don't rly enjoy any nq from Denmark and Ben & Tan were treated badly by the danish broadcaster/ organizer of the national final as they submitted a song but they were rejected 🤐
It's such a pity that Roxen didn't perform Amnesia while sitting down or in a more somber manner instead of dancing and moving around. Had her vocals been more stable like that, she would have definitely qualified.
I partially agree with you here, she's so talented but not adept in all in dancing she was choreographed for a live performance when it comes to breathing control. She hasn't had enough practice in that to pull it off. However, they could have easily given some slower, more fluid and subtle choreography and staging that matched the sombre and darker tones/mood of the song so she wasn't simply standing or staying still. Could have still been executed on the spot or in a localised manner though; such as having the dancers crowd around her, 'pulling'/assisting in swaying movements, and some softer arm-based work, as well as some impactful facial expressions to help tell the story.
I think there was an issue that they told her to sing in a lower key in the televoting performance. In the jury performance there were technical issues, sooo the track in her ear and the track on the stage were not equal. The track in her started a few seconds later afaik. She was allowed to perform again in front of the jury but still, it was all kind of scuffed this year. She could've easily qualified if the technical issues didn't appear and if she knew which key it will be. But let's be real, the whole contest is kinda scuffed. I love the artists and the songs but the rest is kind of a joke honestly. At least the televoters got what they want. I'm not a fan of Italy this year BUT I can totally accept their win, so the sympathy votings don't kill the whole voting again. I was a big fan of Bulgaria but it was extremely weird to me that Bulgaria gave 12 to Moldova and Moldova gave 12 to Bulgaria. Same with Cyprus and Greece honestly. But let's not rant the contest. Imagine if Montaigne could've come to the live show or if she was at least allowed to actually perform live. She might've qualified as well. Buuuut let's not get too deep into that and let's just enjoy the artists and their incredible songs. :D
@@vincentesc I wouldn't say they were on point. The official music video had set the bar super-high so the presentation was underwhelming. Still a great song though and should have qualified and even hit the top10.
Im sure that if they werent host 2017...O torvald with Time wouldnt had pass trought😅🤣 They should had send Tayanna with I love u that year...But maybe they were scared of win again :3
Agnete - Icebreaker is one of the best songs ever existed in the Eurovision Song Contest and I can't accept it was not in the final ... Masterpiece of a song !!
I think they will offer Sweden the automatic qualifier spot sooner or later in order to give the chance to the other twenty countries to qualify, but I don’t know if they will accept and if that will have a negative impact on Sweden because it will kill their hard efforts for good performances.
Your choice for the Netherlands is indeed hated here in the Netherlands. Its my last place out of all the entries my country ever send. That was the only year I was really ashamed of our entry.
@@ESCedi my favorite non qualifying song of my country is 2007. Glennis Grace - My impossible dream. Still don't understand how she didn't got through to the final.
@@inkvampyr yea I am and was pretty aware that this is so hated and almost every dutch person wants to erase this memory but I actually enjoy it very much 😬
Agree: Albania, Armenia, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czechia, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Lithuania*, Monaco, North Macedonia, Norway, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia, Just one NQ: Australia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Russia, Sweden, Turkey Others: Andorra - 2007 Austria - 2013 Belgium - 2006 Croatia - 2010 Denmark - 2021 Estonia - 2017 Finland - 2017 (Seriously 2019?) Iceland - 2005 Ireland - 2014 (Seriously 2008?) Latvia - 2018 Malta - 2015 Moldova - 2016 Netherlands - 2005 Poland - 2011 Romania - 2018 San Marino - 2013 (seriously 2018?) Slovenia - 2012 Switzerland - 2009 * I think Lithuania always deserved to DNQ (or to qualify) whenever it did, but if I really have to pick one from the DNQ songs, it has to be 2019.
Germany 1996 could be included in this topic. At this time, there was not exactly semi finals, but a qualification round, which is close. On my memory, this is the only time a big 4-5 member did not qualify.
Ireland 2008 is legendary! There’s reasons why Dustin is a legend over there. I would like more acts to take his approach to press conferences and turn them into stand up shows! I think that 2014, 2019 and 2021 looked really promising on radio but sadly failed very badly live. My fave FTQ is Latvia 2021, Slovenia 2008 or Hungary 2019 (though the latter as Joci Papai is one of my all time faves), and Czech 2021 would have been if the live performance wasn’t as uncomfortable to watch. I also liked Space loads but Moldova was a sufficient compensation so it isn’t material.
@@ESCedi there was a degree of self awareness in the act too. However, the strangest thing about Dustin was that the entry was full of personality but there have been plenty of occasions on the Den where he speaks with little, and it’s still what I find funny!
@@BenefitCounterbench origo is one of my all time faves but I do understand why plenty of people would find Az En Apam a better song. I think it was beautiful and he should have qualified.
Hi :D My picks: (on some entries i will add my place of it in its year) Albania 2013 Armenia 2011 Australia 2021 Austria 2013 Azerbaijan 2018 Belarus 2015 Belgium 2012 Bosnia-H. 2016 Bulgaria 2010 Croatia 2021, my 6th Cyprus 2009, my winner Czech Rep. 2015 Denmark 2016 Estonia 2016, again my winner Finland 2019 Georgia 2019 Germany 1996, would be my 2nd of that year. But it technically doesnt count as a participant Greece 2018 Hungary 2009 Iceland 2007 Ireland 2008
yeah, non-qualifier refers to the semis for me. So alltime = since the semis were introduced 😅 before the songs were kinda eliminated before the show so yea but u are right
Fully agree on Albania. 2011 and 2017 were the strongest non-qualifiers for me. Austria: 2021 / 2013 Belarus: 2011 / 2016 / 2018 Bulgaria: 2011 indeed Croatia: 2013! Cyprus: 2011 / 2007 Finland: 2017 Georgia: 2019 Israel: 2013 Lithuania: 2017 Malta: 2015 Montenegro: 2018 North Macedonia: 2016 (2017 was just horrible, especially with their marriage story to get sympathy points) Poland: 2011 Portugal: 2012 San Marino: 2013, 2015 Serbia: 2013 Switzerland: 2018, 2013 Others: agree or don't care.
Apollo? 😂 One of the most generic and forgettable euro pop songs I've ever heard. (I had to re-listen it because I only remembered the chick in the yellow dress.)
@@ESCedi This old guy wrote the song and there were like 5 artists who performed that same song, but in their own style. So people and jury could vote for their favorite. In the end both Sieneke and a girlband ended up with the same score and they kind of forced the old guy to decide between them on the spot. And he didn't want to choose, but he was kind of put under pressure so he just said 'ok, Sieneke then'. Even tough most people did like the other version better. And it felt like he picked her because he was put under pressure

I take it this is from when official, televised semi-finals began in 2004. Before then, there was a qualifying round in 1996 where 29 countries submitted their song on tape and juries in those 29 countries, plus the host country Norway, gave the top 10 songs points in the normal way, and the top 22 countries qualified for the contest. Germany failed this internal preselection with their song "Planet of Blue". You could say that's your automatic favourite non-qualifier from Germany, although the EBU doesn't offically class that as an entry to the ESC 1996 or an entry in Germany's ESC participation history.
I also rly don't understand this 😭 especially cause 2011 is such a weak year in my opinion but there are a few songs I really enjoyed but most of them stayed in the semis. Na Inat (Bulgaria), Haba Haba (Norway), Feel The Passion (Albania) and and and ...

as a Dane I was like “how can you pick from Denmark” they all suck and yes that’s exactly what happened 😂😂❤️😂😂 even our qualifiers suck ! Except for 2013 😂
I have a favourite non qualifier of Denmark, 2016. It is in my personal final. (My personal 22nd but still a nice song) I know that Denmark is a great country, so a lot of non qualifiers suck... 2007 sucks a lot 😂
@@ESCedi I hate most of our entries xD It's dissapointing every year being a Dane and seeing terrible music at our DMGP. Almost always my fav. comes second in DMGP. So I never get to have my Danish fav at ESC
@@Leifang12 oh thats sad 🥺 and I think this years DMGP was rly not at a high quality level indeed... its not every year like this tho imo... but Denmark also had some qualifiers which I absolutely didnt like as "Love Is Forever" but on the other side I loved Emmelie, Anja, Basim, Ben & Tan and some more entries
I think they would have qualified, but it could have been close run. Only 4 seats were safe (Armenia, Bulgaria, Iceland and possibly Switzerland) and there were strong songs. But I thought this song was quite good and better than at least 4 others. In the final, i simulated it placing 20th.
@@calum5329 in my entirely hand written simulator, where I did my own running order in the same way as ESC does, I put it 13th between Romania and Azerbaijan (my running order had Germany, Australia and Latvia as first 3, Switzerland and Italy in 7th and 8th, Iceland in 11th, Sweden in 15th, Russia in 17th, Ukraine, Armenia (my personal 2020 winner) and Lithuania in slots 20-22, and Malta, Bulgaria and Greece the last 3 after the hosts). Do you think 13th would have been a realistic slot for Ben and Tan?
6:50 im dutch and i dont like this song at all for one reason it is so blend for dutch people, that instrument you hear in the background(draaiorgel/barrel organ/hurdy-gurdy) you hear it in every shopping alley in a city. and it is so annoying to hear when you dont wanna listen to it. i like Trijntje Oosterhuis's - Walk Along(2015) way more
Nor 2005 for that matter. "Razom nas bahato" sounded like a protest chant to me; in fact it sounded to me like a "suicide song" - a subtle attempt to do badly and not have to host in 2006.
Yes, I gave them a Spot in this video as I don't really like any non qualifier from Denmark rly much and the danish broadcaster/organiser of the national final treated them so badly in 2021 and didn't even let them return even tho they submitted a song so I felt like they should be shown again 😅
Mais la français passe directement en final la moitier qu'il ou qu'elle a dit étais qualifié en final et l Italie en 2021 à gagner et elle aussi elle passe directement comme l Espagne l Allemagne l Angleterre
I'm Irish and I would rate Dustin as one of the worst Irish entries. I like Dustin think he is funny but that was awful. If you ask me Leona Daley should have won Eurosong (Irish national Final) that year. Molly Sterling 2015 however was robbed.
Az En Apam was so robbed. How the hell it ended up NQ with Michael Schulte summoning a demon zebra placing 4th is something I will never understand Also YES HOREHRONIE
@@vavah2071 That's your opinion. You're welcome to it. Everything about YLMWA annoys me - and of course its fine if you don't share my opinion. To me, I found YLMWA a bit whiny and it tries to hit you with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer which, unlike 1944 where it was used to inundate you with the power of sheer emotion, didn't actually add to the song. It works in 1944 because 1944 is all about hitting hard. YLMWA's lyrics and message delivery don't really match. Furthermore, I found some of the musical tropes tired and overused (like the one two three thing), and I just couldn't emotionally connect to the song. The visual in the second half with the psychedelic black and white with blood red was also very confusing and slightly disturbing. Hence, summoning a demon zebra. (Maybe a little nitpicky, but I also hate the use of the word "let", because "let" implies willing choice, e.g if you let someone do something) Also, I compared the two not because they were in the same year, but because they were both tributes to their fathers in a sort of similar genre. AEA was so much more poetic than YLMWA ever was. I don't understand Hungarian, but I looked up a translation and it was just so magical.
@@Kernel15 Ok, that's your opinion, personnally, Germany 2018 is in my top 3 of 2018 but it's your rights if you don't like it But I agree with you for Az En Apam who really really deserved to be qualified for the final

the big 5 do have some NQS, before the semis there was a qualification round in the 90s, Germany didn't qualify in 1996 but they did send in an entry
Yeah but I kinda count them as "eliminated" songs as I was more referring to since the semis were introduced
But u are definitely right
Sweden is almost a big Five because they only were a non qualifier once
Leon (Germany "Eurovision 1996") say hi

@UCOTTxEgHy6H6ewbMziB89cg Ukraine has never been eliminated in semis
As a Dutch, I can say you are so right about 2010😂
Yea I know as I wrote with some people from the Netherlands in the past
Ireland 2008 is legendary! There’s reasons why Dustin is a legend over there. I would like more acts to take his approach to press conferences and turn them into stand up shows! I think that 2014, 2019 and 2021 looked really promising on radio but sadly failed very badly live. My fave FTQ is Latvia 2021, Slovenia 2008 or Hungary 2019 (though the latter as Joci Papai is one of my all time faves), and Czech 2021 would have been if the live performance wasn’t as uncomfortable to watch. I also liked Space loads but Moldova was a sufficient compensation so it isn’t material.
Completely agree
@@ESCedi there was a degree of self awareness in the act too. However, the strangest thing about Dustin was that the entry was full of personality but there have been plenty of occasions on the Den where he speaks with little, and it’s still what I find funny!
From Ireland.
My least favourite from Ireland
As a Hungarian, I preferred Pápai Joci's 2019 performance over the 2017 one. Tbh I don't get how Origo finished 8th, but Az én apám didn't qualify...
@@BenefitCounterbench origo is one of my all time faves but I do understand why plenty of people would find Az En Apam a better song. I think it was beautiful and he should have qualified.

Russia was hard to choose 😀
😆
Best nq of each country video: *exists*
Ukraine: what?
True
Azerbaijan, Russia: one entry. That's so easy 😂
Omggg yes Iceland 2017 and Latvia 2017 !!!
😍😍😍
I think that Planet of blue (Germany 1996) pretty much deserved a spot here
yeah, non-qualifier refers to the semis for me. So alltime = since the semis were introduced 😅 before the songs were kinda eliminated before the show so yea but u are right
Fully agree on Albania. 2011 and 2017 were the strongest non-qualifiers for me.
Austria: 2021 / 2013

Bulgaria: 2011 indeed
Croatia: 2013!

Poland: 2011
Portugal: 2012

Serbia: 2013
Switzerland: 2018, 2013
Others: agree or don't care.

The fire transitions reminds me of BLANKA! OMG :haha
hahaha and i was there first 😈
This painfully shows how robbed Switzerland have been in the competition.
Stones and Apollo could've easily been top 10 songs in the final.
Yes 😭😭😭
@@ESCedi * And Takasa. I still listen to their song.
Apollo? 😂 One of the most generic and forgettable euro pop songs I've ever heard. (I had to re-listen it because I only remembered the chick in the yellow dress.)
Stones not. But Apollo deserved final
Yes, most people in The Netherlands do not like Sjalalie. But there's also a story behind how it qualified for ESC, so that made it even less popular
oh, whats it about
@@ESCedi This old guy wrote the song and there were like 5 artists who performed that same song, but in their own style. So people and jury could vote for their favorite. In the end both Sieneke and a girlband ended up with the same score and they kind of forced the old guy to decide between them on the spot. And he didn't want to choose, but he was kind of put under pressure so he just said 'ok, Sieneke then'. Even tough most people did like the other version better. And it felt like he picked her because he was put under pressure

SAN MARINO 2018 YES
wake me up when I disagree with something 😌
😄😄😄
I take it this is from when official, televised semi-finals began in 2004. Before then, there was a qualifying round in 1996 where 29 countries submitted their song on tape and juries in those 29 countries, plus the host country Norway, gave the top 10 songs points in the normal way, and the top 22 countries qualified for the contest. Germany failed this internal preselection with their song "Planet of Blue". You could say that's your automatic favourite non-qualifier from Germany, although the EBU doesn't offically class that as an entry to the ESC 1996 or an entry in Germany's ESC participation history.

interesting choices
NEVER LIKED SO FAST WHEN I SAW PAENDA ❤️❤️❤️❤️
robbed queen
I would have chosen Maruv for Ukraine
Oh yes 😭😭😭
I totally agree with Albanian choice.I don't understand how this song didn't pass in tha final.
I also rly don't understand this 😭 especially cause 2011 is such a weak year in my opinion but there are a few songs I really enjoyed but most of them stayed in the semis. Na Inat (Bulgaria), Haba Haba (Norway), Feel The Passion (Albania) and and and ...

so true
@@ESCedi ❤️ very similar taste
I'm happy that we - Azerbaijan have only 1 non qualifier... We're pretty good.
Thats true
Best for Andorra and Belarus - their first.
For San Marino - Social Media Song
haha social media song is iconic
as a Dane I was like “how can you pick from Denmark” they all suck and yes that’s exactly what happened 😂😂❤️😂😂 even our qualifiers suck ! Except for 2013 😂
Nah, I actually like alot of danish entries but I just think the good ones always qualified so there is none I was sad about that they're nqing 😄
I have a favourite non qualifier of Denmark, 2016. It is in my personal final. (My personal 22nd but still a nice song)
I know that Denmark is a great country, so a lot of non qualifiers suck... 2007 sucks a lot 😂
@@ESCedi I hate most of our entries xD It's dissapointing every year being a Dane and seeing terrible music at our DMGP. Almost always my fav. comes second in DMGP. So I never get to have my Danish fav at ESC
@@Leifang12 oh thats sad 🥺 and I think this years DMGP was rly not at a high quality level indeed... its not every year like this tho imo... but Denmark also had some qualifiers which I absolutely didnt like as "Love Is Forever" but on the other side I loved Emmelie, Anja, Basim, Ben & Tan and some more entries
@@ESCedi I think I like 2002 and 2013 and that’s about it 😂😂😂
I thought you would put Maruv for Ukraine 🤣
well, I should've maybe
Actually in 1996 they eliminated The Big Five Rule and Germany didn't qualify, Nevertheless in 1997 Big Five rule was re-established
the big 5 rule didnt exist until 2000
Yeah but I kinda count them as "eliminated" songs as I was more referring to since the semis were introduced
@@ESCedi Oh, I understood
@@studiedport5 2004.
I think that semifinals were introduced in 2004

i honestly feel like alot of people are regerting the fact that israel didnt qualified in 2013 and 2014
Robbed entries
Imagine if Ben and Tan actually NQd I’d cry
Saaame
I think they would have qualified, but it could have been close run. Only 4 seats were safe (Armenia, Bulgaria, Iceland and possibly Switzerland) and there were strong songs. But I thought this song was quite good and better than at least 4 others. In the final, i simulated it placing 20th.
@@elaychscrazyworld4173 that’s actually a good call, I think it could get a bit higher potentially left side with good running order
@@calum5329 in my entirely hand written simulator, where I did my own running order in the same way as ESC does, I put it 13th between Romania and Azerbaijan (my running order had Germany, Australia and Latvia as first 3, Switzerland and Italy in 7th and 8th, Iceland in 11th, Sweden in 15th, Russia in 17th, Ukraine, Armenia (my personal 2020 winner) and Lithuania in slots 20-22, and Malta, Bulgaria and Greece the last 3 after the hosts). Do you think 13th would have been a realistic slot for Ben and Tan?
@@elaychscrazyworld4173 I actually could see that, yes
Ok so romania was my winner in 2010 2018 2019 2020 2021. Which happen to be the 4 years (and 2010) they werent seen in the final
🥺
What about planet of blue: germany 1996? It didn't qualify
Yes, I'm referring to since the semis were introduced 😅 for me before that it was just a pre-round where songs were eliminated 😇
Ok?
6:50 im dutch and i dont like this song at all for one reason it is so blend for dutch people, that instrument you hear in the background(draaiorgel/barrel organ/hurdy-gurdy) you hear it in every shopping alley in a city. and it is so annoying to hear when you dont wanna listen to it. i like Trijntje Oosterhuis's - Walk Along(2015) way more
understandable
5:39
Me: sees Agnese Rakovska
Also me: yep, I'm out.
😂
This is probably unpopular but if Ukraine wasn't the host, they wouldn't qualify in 2017. That entry was so weak.
Nor 2005 for that matter. "Razom nas bahato" sounded like a protest chant to me; in fact it sounded to me like a "suicide song" - a subtle attempt to do badly and not have to host in 2006.
How the hell could Yes be in this list? It would definitely make a top 5 imo.
Yes, I gave them a Spot in this video as I don't really like any non qualifier from Denmark rly much and the danish broadcaster/organiser of the national final treated them so badly in 2021 and didn't even let them return even tho they submitted a song so I felt like they should be shown again 😅
Why cant anyone understand that you count points and not how much procent your points is because malta came 28 not moldova

So many good songs didn't qualify in 2019.
True
I'm Irish and I would rate Dustin as one of the worst Irish entries. I like Dustin think he is funny but that was awful. If you ask me Leona Daley should have won Eurosong (Irish national Final) that year. Molly Sterling 2015 however was robbed.

Technically Germany does have a non qualifier, just not in a semi final
It also slaps so
Yea, my list is only for the system since the semi finals got introduced
@@ESCedi fair enough
Az En Apam was so robbed. How the hell it ended up NQ with Michael Schulte summoning a demon zebra placing 4th is something I will never understand
Also YES HOREHRONIE
😂😂😂
1st of all, Michael Schulte was in 2018
2nd of all, Michael Schulte has a very very good song
Yes Az En Apam is still my favorite.
@@vavah2071 That's your opinion. You're welcome to it.
Everything about YLMWA annoys me - and of course its fine if you don't share my opinion. To me, I found YLMWA a bit whiny and it tries to hit you with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer which, unlike 1944 where it was used to inundate you with the power of sheer emotion, didn't actually add to the song. It works in 1944 because 1944 is all about hitting hard. YLMWA's lyrics and message delivery don't really match.
Furthermore, I found some of the musical tropes tired and overused (like the one two three thing), and I just couldn't emotionally connect to the song.
The visual in the second half with the psychedelic black and white with blood red was also very confusing and slightly disturbing. Hence, summoning a demon zebra.
(Maybe a little nitpicky, but I also hate the use of the word "let", because "let" implies willing choice, e.g if you let someone do something)
Also, I compared the two not because they were in the same year, but because they were both tributes to their fathers in a sort of similar genre. AEA was so much more poetic than YLMWA ever was. I don't understand Hungarian, but I looked up a translation and it was just so magical.
@@Kernel15 Ok, that's your opinion, personnally, Germany 2018 is in my top 3 of 2018 but it's your rights if you don't like it
But I agree with you for Az En Apam who really really deserved to be qualified for the final
