1 - This was more shocking then my no.2 only because this happened first in 2017 and in sf2 I was expecting a shock. I understand now why it didn’t qualify but at the time hardly anyone thought this wouldn’t qualify. I didn’t think a non - qualification would ever get as shocking as Iceland 2016 but I was wrong. It’s not that I adore this song, I just thought that the juries would place this in the top 3, maybe even 2nd & thought there would be a lot of support from the public. Not as much but enough to see it qualify and to find out afterwards that it was the other way around and that the public qualified it and the juries placed this 20 points behind 10th ending in 12th place with them. It was just so shocking, I remember staying up till the morning hours in a private Eurovision group analysing this. Like I said, I kinda understand it now but not at the time. 2 - This is my 2nd favourite Eurovision song of all time & my favourite of the 21st century. After SF1 I was prepared for a huge shock but not this. I’m happy the public placed it 6th but the juries. I will never forgive them. In what universe was San Marino the only song worse then this? Even Lithuania placed higher with them. It’s disgusting. In one way though the non - qualification just adds to the drama of the Romeo & Juliet heartbreak story. 3 - This was a true WTF just happened moment. Even if the staging wasn’t as slick as the national final performance, this was quality enough to qualify. I will forever be in shock over its non - qualification and it didn’t even come close. It was closer to being last then 10th. Even though no bad songs qualified in this semi, I would have still placed it in the top 10. 4 - The staging to be honest was a let down for me. They didn’t bring the summer vibes as they did in the music video but as it’s Poland I was so sure this was going to qualify with ease. I thought this would be like Michal 2016, the juries not qualifying it but the public would have enough points to see it through but even the public only placed it 10th.a huge shock. 5 - This was amazing. It had a huge LGBTQ following & I’m still in shock over it. This was my 6th fav of 2015 and should have defo qualified over Cyprus and maybe Poland & Azerbaijan at least. 6 - My jaw fell to the ground (like all of my top 9) when this wasn’t called out as a qualifier, I was never going to not have this in my top 10 predictions. It’s crazy. 7 - Israel in 2013 & 2014 deserved to qualify. Maybe cos Mei was a shouty woman and juries don’t tend to vote for them much was a turn off, but the public didn’t even go for it. Only 5 songs missed out in this semi and this was one of them WTF 8 - I just don’t get it. I think it’s laughable how Armenia qualified over this master piece. Just a stunning performance. 9 - so shocked about this. I think the rap put juries off, but it did qualify with the public. Maybe there was too much going on & the message didn’t come across. This deserved to qualify. I love the song. 10 - I was so sure this was going to qualify. Looking back now, I’m happy it didn’t 11- come on, it’s Sweden. That alone was enough for everyone to place it in their top 10 predictions. 12 - I really liked this even when the fandom didn’t but before the rehearsals, I thought this would just miss out however, on the night. They got it together and it was a great performance. Hungary defo deserved the qualification but thought this would have done better over Slovenia & Serbia. 13 - I was caught up in that bubble as well. Looking back now it’s clear this wouldn’t qualify but I just loved it enough to not see it through the eyes of the fandom. 14 - Magical, Mystical and Mysterious but beautiful as well. I was praying this would qualify. I had a lot of faith in this even though they didn’t have a great history. The song deserved to qualify. Esp. over Armenia ugh. 15 - I hadn’t paid much attention to this before Eurovision week but on the night when I saw the staging, I was so happy & it made my list of 10 qualifications on the night. 16 - Even though Slovakia hadn’t qualified before, I thought the public & juries would like this enough to vote big for it. I’m still sad about this. 17 - Such a shame this didn’t qualify. A simple but catchy song. 18 - I loved this performance. This grew on me. The song is bad, but the staging was phenomenal and memorable. 19 - In 2013 Serbia had done so well at Eurovision and were beloved I just thought this would sail through. The national final performance was much better as they portrayed the song better, but most voters hadn’t even seen that. 20 - It was Armenia, catchy, camp song. This was a winner. They always did well up to this point. Didn’t see this missing out. It’s not that good of a song now but at the time. I loved it. 21 - Beautiful song, I didn’t think this had any chance of missing out on the final. Sadly, this semi was full of amazing songs and none of their main voters. Serbia, Bosnia. FYR Macedonia and Albania were in semi - final 1. 22 - So sad about this, I loved this song from the first time I heard it even though the rest of the fandom were disappointed, but momentum was growing with this to qualify when the rehearsal clips were shown and let’s not forget, Azerbaijan had a 100% qualification record up to this point so, I thought that would have helped as well. I think if this was on later, it would have qualified. I predicted before that Finland & Azerbaijan would finish 10th & 11th. 1 would scrape through and they kinda sound familiar. I thought Azerbaijan would get that last spot & Saara would just miss out, but it was the other way around. 23 - Just a great song and thought this would have qualified over Hungary. The 2 songs sounded quite similar to me and whenever I think of one, I automatically think o the other. 24 - I thought this was a great comeback & was worthy of a place in the final. 25 - once again the staging let it down but like many songs, I thought the love of the song before Eurovision would be powerful enough to see it through. 26 - Staging was poor, but Belgium had been doing so good lately. 2013, 2015 & 2016 so I thought the public would get behind her and thought she would be rewarded by the juries as well. 27 - This was just so much fun. I didn’t love it at the time as much as I do now, but it was such a fun song. And thought this would qualify over Montenegro & San Marino. 28 - Juri is smouldering and sexy & thought the James bond theme song would see it though but not do very well in the final. 29 - This is what Eurovision is all about and I want these crazy songs to come back and not just have all Spotify, radio friendly songs do well cos of the juries. Even though I didn’t love this as much as the fandom, I thought this was fun enough to qualify. Esp. when it was quite a weak semi. 30 - This was a huge fan favourites and one of the favs to win the entire contest. I didn’t think this was going to be missed out. Looking back now, it wasn’t good enough to qualify but at the time, I was caught up in that bubble. 31 - This was a weird one cos normally publicity doesn’t have much of an impact on results but on the night, I thought the lack of exposure of this song would be its downfall, but I still thought that this could have qualified. 32 - The staging wasn’t the best, they should have had the staging from the National Final, but Tamara was amazing. There was room in the final and even though (along with Albania) the staging was a let-down, I didn’t dismiss this and could have still qualified. 33 - I weren’t the biggest fan of this song and the staging was bad but it’s still Greece and I thought it could qualify for that alone but I’m happy it didn’t as it was a bad package. 34 - The song isn’t that good, I didn’t think it had any chance before the semi, but the staging really impressed me when I watched it. I thought this was going to be the shock qualifier of the year. Maybe if it was on later it would have. 35 - The song wasn’t strong but come on, it’s Dana International and thought the name alone would see her through. I was really shocked on the night cos I thought they would save her until last to be called but no. 36 - The staging let this down but as Moldova and Russia were voting in this semi, I thought this could sneak in. Looking back now, it was kinda obvious it wouldn’t. 37 - What a voice. The staging let this down, so I was less optimistic about it’s qualification but I still thought that this had a chance. 38 - Such a great ethnic song. The LED was fantastic, It’s the sort of song which I thought would do a lot better. 39 - Another song I loved before the contest, but I was let down by the staging, but I thought that once again a singer with a great voice and a song liked by the fans could have been enough to see it through. 40 - I didn’t want this to qualify as I thought it was dated but not nostalgic, but I knew her voice would be loved by the juries & her Eurovision legacy would do well with the voters to see it sneak through, but no. 41 - They got the staging wrong however I thought the love of this song pre-Eurovision would see it through, just like Belgium City Lights. 42 - I thought this would just sneak in to 10th place. It is one of my favourite songs now however, at the time I was less convinced then the fandom. 43 - This was a fun entry and I thought the public would vote hard for this enough to see it through. 44 - This wasn’t very loved in the fan community HOWEVER, when I saw the rehearsal. I was really touched by it. Not as much as the national final but it still gave me Goosebumps & I thought her voice would make her a big hit with the juries and it did, sadly however, the public didn’t understand
Is Armenia your least favorite of 2013? 😂 Thanks for appreciating Romania 2018 and I agree Hungary deserved it but Romania should’ve qualified instead of Slovenia.
Greece not qualifying was a real bummer this year. It was one of my absolute favourites. Same goes for Belgium, even though I admit that both songs did come across better in the videos than in the live performances and that's what counts in the end.
ESC Lisa Germany yup. Switzerland is one of the most underrated countries these years. And I loved this Switzerland's song this year so much, the music, the lyrics, the performance, and most of all, the message. I was surprised that it didn't make it to the final
Blackbird by Norma John is in my top 10 Eurovision songs of all time. I was certain it was going to win the final by a huge margin. I am still in shock that it didn’t even qualify.
My opinion: 5. Israel 2013. 4. Czech Republic 2015. 3. San Marino 2013. For me "Vola" is better than "Maybe" 2. Switzerland 2017. 😔 One of my favourite in 2017. 1. Greece 2018. 😢💔💔 That was my favourite song this year 😢 I love it!
I agree. It's a shame, because the song really did have potential. It is a common problem with Eurovision that the performers cannot hear their own voice correctly when they are on stage and that makes hitting the right notes almost impossible. It is true for about half the entries in this list (unless the artists really can't sing, which I seriously doubt, because they all have been picked to be there ... it is not like the first round of a casting show or something) I am surprised that this happens so often in an event that big.
@@MissyLaMotte I was there for all performances live, and yes, there was a lot of technical and sounds engineering issues. But Poland actually sounded terrible live even in national selections
love the fact you choose songs of decent quality instead of bad songs with an 'amazing'' performances. It is a shame that good songs are already gone before the final.
Unbreakable and Help you Fly are actually one of my fevourite Euro-songs... it's so sad they didn't qualify And I seee somehow Switzerland and Belarus almost neveer qualify
I didn’t realize how many of these have ended up in my permanent playlist over the years... Goes to show that there are a lot of amazing non-qualifiers out there ✨
My top 5 non-qualifiers of all time (that should have qualified) 1. San Marino 2013 (She was the best In semi final two. She was my second that year. A perfect song, a perfect person, a perfect singer, a perfect language. Everything is pure and amazing) 2. Finland 2017 (What a Masterpiece!!!!! This was perfect. I was so happy that you put it first. It was way better than the winner that year) 3. Switzerland 2018 (I am not fan of the songs like this, but this was perfect. Simply perfect. I loved from the first I heard it. I couldn't understand why it didn't go through) 4. Sweden 2010 ( It is one of the best Swedish entries. I couldn't understand why why. It was something different from Sweden and It didn't qualify. I am speechless) 5. Something old Monaco 2005 (Amazing song. My 4th that year. What a classic background. What a magical song. One of the most Underrated and robbed songs of all time) Edit: After one month list has changed!!!! My 3rd place is for Latvia 2018!!!!!!!! So 3-5 go one place lower!
I Cried for : 2010 : Croatia, FYRMacedonia, Switzerland, Slovakia 2011 : Bulgaria, FYRMacedonia, Norway, Poland, Albania, Belarus, Slovakia 2012 : Croatia, Slovenia, The Netherlands, Belarus and Bulgaria 2013 : Albania, Switzerland, San Marino, Austria, Israel, Bulgaria, Montenegro 2014 : Portugal, Israel, FYRMacedonia, Ireland 2015 : Belarus, FYRMacedonia, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Ireland, Iceland, Malta 2016 : Estonia, FYRMacedonia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Iceland, Belarus, Norway, Montenegro 2017 : Albania, Georgia, Finland, FYRMacedonia, Estonia, Latvia, Serbia 2018 : All Non - Qualifiers, expect Iceland, Russia and San Marino and especially i cried for Belgium, Greece (my country), Switzerland, Georgia, Montenegro, Romania and Belarus
Greece not qualifying for the finals 2018 was heartbreaking! I am not the biggets Eurovision devotee, atmitted, but I listened to this song pre-show and it really spoke to me. I kind of understand why it didn´t qualify when eatching the show; it was like the performance never came together and her vocalization was shaky, unfortunately - still heartbreaking though, it had so much potential!
Great list, many good songs that were unfortunate here, and I especially agree when it comes to "Verona". But one song that angered me didn't go to the final was Latvias "Cake to Bake" in 2014. That song made me smile and made me in good spirit. I still love that song.
I actually think that semifinal results of Eurovision are pretty much obvious once you watch the live performances. The only shocking non-qualifier in Eurovision history was Finland 2017.
50. Weird song. Not bad at all, but didn't deserve qualifying 49. He has a good voice, good song, good staging that camera shot looks AMAZING. Deserved qualifying 48. She's my 3rd of ESC 2017💖💖💖.

The performance was great 41. I don't understand why it is said that the staging looks bad. The song is called DANCE ALONE. Her vocals were actually good 40. Great song, Kaliopi is amazing💖 39.

Good song, but not enough to qualify in a semi final with lots of good songs 9. The same than 10 8. Great song, great voice. I still don't understand why Israel qualified in 2015 and 2017 but not in 2011, 2013 and 2014 7. The same than 8 6. Great voice, lovely song, AMAZING dance. Deserved top 10 5. Again, an underrated song from Malta worthy enough to win 4. Terrible voice, cheap song. I thought it would qualify anyway 3. Greta Salome is always very underrated at Eurovision. Igeland deserved top 10 in 2016 and 2017: great songs, great singers, amazing staging (2016) 2. Great song, although the guy staring at the camera made it look weird 1. Amazing song, I really love it.💖💖💖💖 Better than Portugal
Soraya Gabriela Pérez Zambrano Poland in 2018 cheap song? XD i agree with the voice, but the song is well produced and audio sounds really expensive... It’s EDM song, not Disco Polo - that one is cheap as kurwa

Nice Video.From those i was shocked(mostly) with 1.Swiss 2012 Sinplus.2.Israel 2011 Mei and most of all Finland 2017 blackbird(i was crying for this).I loved the Greek song last year but live she killed it with a very bad stage appearance.
I agree with most of your choices, of course I would change places. For sure, my number one would be Stella Mwanga and her Haba Haba, she regrets that she did not win the competition in 2011. I did not have a song from Latvia in 2018, it would be very high for me. The biggest positive surprise is place 50.
I'm still angry about Blackbird! Also I can't believe you didn't have Macedonia 2018 with 'Lost and Found' (although the staging was a total mess, the song is one of my all time favourites from 2018 and I still listen to it on a regular basis)
FYROM last year was a shocker. I really liked her and the song. Netherlands 2018 and Greece 2018 though the worst decisions, both were in my top 3 of all songs that year.
Based from this timeperiod, there is alot of good songs that didnt make it to the final, and what I think is that many of these songs needed a second listening. Ofcourse there’s not a thing as a second performance But I think it would change alot of the results in many of these years. Anyway, Im not sure about My top 10, 5 or whatever, But what I Can say is that I have two important songs in My life that didnt make it to the final. The first one is The Lovebugs from Switzerland 2009, and the second one is the 3JS from The Netherlands 2011. Especially 3JS song had a HUGE impact on My life, and I just hope someday that Jan Dulles actually know that his song Never Alone Isnt just a last placing song in eurovision, Im sure Im not the only one on the planet that has enjoyed that song after the contest. Im sure all of you have Your songs that didnt make it to the final. Dont forget that this competition is a mixture between song and show, and it has alot to do with the starting positioning. These songs are still amazing!
Horehronie, Igranka, Crisalide, Sofi Marinova, Marta & Vaclav, Svala, Triana Park, Ich Troje, Samo Shampioni, Balthazar and Deep Zone, Filipa Sousa, Eduard Romanyuta, Melanie Rene, Alekseev I love it!

Austria 2013, Macedonia 2016 & 2017 and Greece 2018 are, for me, the most shocking ones. Specially Macedonia 2016, because I'm half Macedonian and because of the song and the meaning it has for me, and for the singer.
They ultimate true. Oh, god, my cute Romania. Belgium, Israel, Greece, Finland, Norway, Moldova. My heart. NON QUALIFICATED!!! DARK EVIL ARE NOT EUROVISION!
Soraya Gabriela Pérez Zambrano I'm actually not sure because it was so long ago but people at home couldn't vote, I think they left it up to the juries for some reason
Imagine for one second if all of these 50 songs had just qualified. Then we'd have 50 new songs that would probably be WAY more shocking non-qualifiers than these. So I don't really think «shocking non-qualifiers» is the right term to use on most of these songs.. imagine if like salvador sobral hadn't qualified in 2017. Now THAT would have been a shocking non-qualifier.
I guess Switzerland 2018 is not here because SF1 in 2018 was really competitive and Switzerland usually doesn't have any bloc voting; if they were in SF2, they would have had more chance to be qualified.
OK for Belgium 2018 - San Marino 2013 (better than all Valentina's entries) - Switzerland 2017 and Estonia 2017 (still a favourite for me) - Malta 2018 - Georgia 2017 - Portugal 2013 (better than some songs in the final) and Belarus 2016.
2010 Poland failed to qualify thanks to the last 30 seconds of that song, (The chorography in the end looked very weird, looked like a r-pe scene). Had the chorography been the same as what he did in the National Final I think it would qualified. 2010 Croatia, I think was a slower song than others in that Semi final. 2012 Netherlands would have been considered a cultural crime in the USA (Attitudes of Native American headdresses must be different in Europe) 2013 Switzerland I think failed because the old guy looked sincerely lost. 2017 Estonia-additional note, they made the same mistake that 2004 Slovenia made, too much flirting and non word notes.
Freakin' Vola (let down by the public, let me remind you A FAN FAVORITE WAS LET DOWN BY THE PUBLIC!) and Czech Republic 2015. (thx juries!) Two of my faves I'm still not over. Juri was great too (people were saying he gave them creepy vibes but honestly, it kinda fit the song) and Belgium this year. (again fans who loved her, let her down, same with Switzerland, so please people, admit your mistakes sometimes, don't just blame the juries!)
My personal top 30 favorite NQs from this era (in a very loose order, as I think all of them are great, and should have qualified): 30. Cyprus 2013 29. Moldova 2016 28. Latvia 2018 27. North Macedonia 2017 26. Israel 2013 25. Moldova 2014 24. Croatia 2010 23. Estonia 2010 22. Finland 2012 21. Israel 2014 20. Belarus 2009 19. Switzerland 2017 18. Slovakia 2009 17. Malta 2017 16. Switzerland 2018 15. Greece 2018 14. Switzerland 2012 13. Poland 2010 12. Norway 2016 11. Slovenia 2012 10. Portugal 2012 9. Belgium 2018 8. Slovakia 2010 7. Ireland 2017 6. Czech Republic 2015 5. Montenegro 2018 4. Ireland 2015 3. San Marino 2013 2. Estonia 2016 1. Finland 2017
2017 Slovenia, 2015 Czechia, 2010 Slovakia were the main 3 that should have qualified. 2017 Estonia would have qualified if they sang it in Italian. 2017 was a year where the bad ones qualified and the good songs failed to qualify. Of the top 10 in the finals, only 4 were good. While 5 that didn't qualify were far better (Slovenia, Estonia, Serbia, Finland, Macedonia) all could have been top 10. My order in 2017 would have been Winner Moldova, 2: Romania, 3, Italy,4 Slovenia, 5 Estonia, 6 Azerbaijan, 7 Isreal, 8 Macedonia, 9 France, 10.Sweden...Portugal I had at 27th.
This seems more like a list of good songs that didn't qualify rather than "most shocking non-qualifiers." A lot of these were pretty obviously on the bubble. I mean - you're saying there are on average 5 shocks a year!
50. Too weird for me. So creepy. Seriously 49. That song is amazing. Should have qualified 48. This song is too good for Eurovision 47. Highly dislike this song 46. Lovely song but she didn’t hit one note right 45. Love this song 😍😍 44. Perfect staging vocals etc. Should have qualified 43. A song about patriotism. That should be automatic 42. My winner 2010 41. Why did this not qualify over Portugal 40. GODDESS. She should have won. 39. Love this song. 38. Beautiful song!!!! 37. GODDESS!!!!! This is a travesty! 36. My all time fave ESC song 35. Love love love this song. 34. I was so shocked. He is so hot too 33. My favourite Greek song. 32. A song with meaning should automatically qualify 31. So shocked. Amazing song. 30. Love this song. It’s so different!!!!! 29. So different!!! Thought ESC was about diversity 28. Hot guy, good song. Love it. 27. Shocking. 26. One of my faves. So annoyed 25. So much better than some qualifiers 24. One of my all time favourites. I was so angry 23. This song is amazing!!!!! 22. Sadly, this is a good song that didn’t qualify. 21. Not shocked at all. 20. Not shocked at all. Didn’t deserve it- too cheesy 19. Weird but good 18. TRAVESTY 17. Cheesy as! 16. This song is just the best 15. Prefer Tooji’s entry but this should have qualified 14. Not impressed. 13. TRIANA PARK!!!! This song is so good!!! 12. This song though. I was so surprised. 11. WHAT?! Sweden is on this list?! 10. This is a travesty. The only good Icelandic entry bar 2013 9. Travesty 8. My winner 2013 7. This should have qualified. Masterpiece 6. This is also a masterpiece. 5. Amazing song 4. Good song but they were off key. 3. Icelandic GODDESS. I take back the previous statement 2. Mehhhhhhhhhh. Cheesy. 1. Now that was a shock. Beautiful song!!!! Deserved it
1 - This was more shocking then my no.2 only because this happened first in 2017 and in sf2 I was expecting a shock. I understand now why it didn’t qualify but at the time hardly anyone thought this wouldn’t qualify. I didn’t think a non - qualification would ever get as shocking as Iceland 2016 but I was wrong. It’s not that I adore this song, I just thought that the juries would place this in the top 3, maybe even 2nd & thought there would be a lot of support from the public. Not as much but enough to see it qualify and to find out afterwards that it was the other way around and that the public qualified it and the juries placed this 20 points behind 10th ending in 12th place with them. It was just so shocking, I remember staying up till the morning hours in a private Eurovision group analysing this. Like I said, I kinda understand it now but not at the time.
2 - This is my 2nd favourite Eurovision song of all time & my favourite of the 21st century. After SF1 I was prepared for a huge shock but not this. I’m happy the public placed it 6th but the juries. I will never forgive them. In what universe was San Marino the only song worse then this? Even Lithuania placed higher with them. It’s disgusting. In one way though the non - qualification just adds to the drama of the Romeo & Juliet heartbreak story.
3 - This was a true WTF just happened moment. Even if the staging wasn’t as slick as the national final performance, this was quality enough to qualify. I will forever be in shock over its non - qualification and it didn’t even come close. It was closer to being last then 10th. Even though no bad songs qualified in this semi, I would have still placed it in the top 10.
4 - The staging to be honest was a let down for me. They didn’t bring the summer vibes as they did in the music video but as it’s Poland I was so sure this was going to qualify with ease. I thought this would be like Michal 2016, the juries not qualifying it but the public would have enough points to see it through but even the public only placed it 10th.a huge shock.
5 - This was amazing. It had a huge LGBTQ following & I’m still in shock over it. This was my 6th fav of 2015 and should have defo qualified over Cyprus and maybe Poland & Azerbaijan at least.
6 - My jaw fell to the ground (like all of my top 9) when this wasn’t called out as a qualifier, I was never going to not have this in my top 10 predictions. It’s crazy.
7 - Israel in 2013 & 2014 deserved to qualify. Maybe cos Mei was a shouty woman and juries don’t tend to vote for them much was a turn off, but the public didn’t even go for it. Only 5 songs missed out in this semi and this was one of them WTF
8 - I just don’t get it. I think it’s laughable how Armenia qualified over this master piece. Just a stunning performance.
9 - so shocked about this. I think the rap put juries off, but it did qualify with the public. Maybe there was too much going on & the message didn’t come across. This deserved to qualify. I love the song.
10 - I was so sure this was going to qualify. Looking back now, I’m happy it didn’t
11- come on, it’s Sweden. That alone was enough for everyone to place it in their top 10 predictions.
12 - I really liked this even when the fandom didn’t but before the rehearsals, I thought this would just miss out however, on the night. They got it together and it was a great performance. Hungary defo deserved the qualification but thought this would have done better over Slovenia & Serbia.
13 - I was caught up in that bubble as well. Looking back now it’s clear this wouldn’t qualify but I just loved it enough to not see it through the eyes of the fandom.
14 - Magical, Mystical and Mysterious but beautiful as well. I was praying this would qualify. I had a lot of faith in this even though they didn’t have a great history. The song deserved to qualify. Esp. over Armenia ugh.
15 - I hadn’t paid much attention to this before Eurovision week but on the night when I saw the staging, I was so happy & it made my list of 10 qualifications on the night.
16 - Even though Slovakia hadn’t qualified before, I thought the public & juries would like this enough to vote big for it. I’m still sad about this.
17 - Such a shame this didn’t qualify. A simple but catchy song.
18 - I loved this performance. This grew on me. The song is bad, but the staging was phenomenal and memorable.
19 - In 2013 Serbia had done so well at Eurovision and were beloved I just thought this would sail through. The national final performance was much better as they portrayed the song better, but most voters hadn’t even seen that.
20 - It was Armenia, catchy, camp song. This was a winner. They always did well up to this point. Didn’t see this missing out. It’s not that good of a song now but at the time. I loved it.
21 - Beautiful song, I didn’t think this had any chance of missing out on the final. Sadly, this semi was full of amazing songs and none of their main voters. Serbia, Bosnia. FYR Macedonia and Albania were in semi - final 1.
22 - So sad about this, I loved this song from the first time I heard it even though the rest of the fandom were disappointed, but momentum was growing with this to qualify when the rehearsal clips were shown and let’s not forget, Azerbaijan had a 100% qualification record up to this point so, I thought that would have helped as well. I think if this was on later, it would have qualified. I predicted before that Finland & Azerbaijan would finish 10th & 11th. 1 would scrape through and they kinda sound familiar. I thought Azerbaijan would get that last spot & Saara would just miss out, but it was the other way around.
23 - Just a great song and thought this would have qualified over Hungary. The 2 songs sounded quite similar to me and whenever I think of one, I automatically think o the other.
24 - I thought this was a great comeback & was worthy of a place in the final.
25 - once again the staging let it down but like many songs, I thought the love of the song before Eurovision would be powerful enough to see it through.
26 - Staging was poor, but Belgium had been doing so good lately. 2013, 2015 & 2016 so I thought the public would get behind her and thought she would be rewarded by the juries as well.
27 - This was just so much fun. I didn’t love it at the time as much as I do now, but it was such a fun song. And thought this would qualify over Montenegro & San Marino.
28 - Juri is smouldering and sexy & thought the James bond theme song would see it though but not do very well in the final.
29 - This is what Eurovision is all about and I want these crazy songs to come back and not just have all Spotify, radio friendly songs do well cos of the juries. Even though I didn’t love this as much as the fandom, I thought this was fun enough to qualify. Esp. when it was quite a weak semi.
30 - This was a huge fan favourites and one of the favs to win the entire contest. I didn’t think this was going to be missed out. Looking back now, it wasn’t good enough to qualify but at the time, I was caught up in that bubble.
31 - This was a weird one cos normally publicity doesn’t have much of an impact on results but on the night, I thought the lack of exposure of this song would be its downfall, but I still thought that this could have qualified.
32 - The staging wasn’t the best, they should have had the staging from the National Final, but Tamara was amazing. There was room in the final and even though (along with Albania) the staging was a let-down, I didn’t dismiss this and could have still qualified.
33 - I weren’t the biggest fan of this song and the staging was bad but it’s still Greece and I thought it could qualify for that alone but I’m happy it didn’t as it was a bad package.
34 - The song isn’t that good, I didn’t think it had any chance before the semi, but the staging really impressed me when I watched it. I thought this was going to be the shock qualifier of the year. Maybe if it was on later it would have.
35 - The song wasn’t strong but come on, it’s Dana International and thought the name alone would see her through. I was really shocked on the night cos I thought they would save her until last to be called but no.
36 - The staging let this down but as Moldova and Russia were voting in this semi, I thought this could sneak in. Looking back now, it was kinda obvious it wouldn’t.
37 - What a voice. The staging let this down, so I was less optimistic about it’s qualification but I still thought that this had a chance.
38 - Such a great ethnic song. The LED was fantastic, It’s the sort of song which I thought would do a lot better.
39 - Another song I loved before the contest, but I was let down by the staging, but I thought that once again a singer with a great voice and a song liked by the fans could have been enough to see it through.
40 - I didn’t want this to qualify as I thought it was dated but not nostalgic, but I knew her voice would be loved by the juries & her Eurovision legacy would do well with the voters to see it sneak through, but no.
41 - They got the staging wrong however I thought the love of this song pre-Eurovision would see it through, just like Belgium City Lights.
42 - I thought this would just sneak in to 10th place. It is one of my favourite songs now however, at the time I was less convinced then the fandom.
43 - This was a fun entry and I thought the public would vote hard for this enough to see it through.
44 - This wasn’t very loved in the fan community HOWEVER, when I saw the rehearsal. I was really touched by it. Not as much as the national final but it still gave me Goosebumps & I thought her voice would make her a big hit with the juries and it did, sadly however, the public didn’t understand
I agree with your poll all these songs got robbed
Karl Compton Agreed, with #12 especially!
Is Armenia your least favorite of 2013? 😂
Thanks for appreciating Romania 2018 and I agree Hungary deserved it but Romania should’ve qualified instead of Slovenia.
Poland’s (4) voice was just weak 🥴
I wonder how 2010 poland got on the list.
Finland 2017 not qualifying is one of the worst crimes in history
Greece not qualifying was a real bummer this year. It was one of my absolute favourites. Same goes for Belgium, even though I admit that both songs did come across better in the videos than in the live performances and that's what counts in the end.
Finland 2017 was not a shock it was a crime
Not really. Verona was most shocking
It could the best song in this video and you say...
@@alvid9612 yeah no verona was an expected NQ
Wth its a good song but Finland 2006 was much better
*I love wiwibloggs*
Does anyone else feel sad watching most of these amazing songs that were lost in the semis 😭
Joining You!
Very
It's part of the game 😉
Switzerland 2018?! Switzerland nearly every Year 😂😏
ESC Lisa Germany yup. Switzerland is one of the most underrated countries these years. And I loved this Switzerland's song this year so much, the music, the lyrics, the performance, and most of all, the message. I was surprised that it didn't make it to the final
So the jury doesn't like:
·Dubstep
·when they don't sing in English
·when they reference other cultures that aren't their own
Blackbird by Norma John is in my top 10 Eurovision songs of all time. I was certain it was going to win the final by a huge margin. I am still in shock that it didn’t even qualify.
My opinion:
5. Israel 2013.
4. Czech Republic 2015.
3. San Marino 2013. For me "Vola" is better than "Maybe"
2. Switzerland 2017. 😔 One of my favourite in 2017.
1. Greece 2018. 😢💔💔 That was my favourite song this year 😢 I love it!
Anđela Ranđelović Thanks for your support! Greetings from Greece!
@Stefysdance ツ *Yes I liled it so much and I also liled the other so much*
Sad Switzerland 2018 isn’t here, but I can get in with my life
Blackbird is the best song we have ever sent 😢 thank you for giving it the 1st place ❤️
Jenni ihmiset kuulema kehu sitä paljon nii oli aika jännä et se ei päässy jatkoon
Zibbz? Stones?? SWITZERLAND??? Oh... okay then :( good list none the less
I don't get why Poland 2018 was shocking. It was a decent song sung terribly, I don't think he hit one single note right!
I agree. It's a shame, because the song really did have potential. It is a common problem with Eurovision that the performers cannot hear their own voice correctly when they are on stage and that makes hitting the right notes almost impossible. It is true for about half the entries in this list (unless the artists really can't sing, which I seriously doubt, because they all have been picked to be there ... it is not like the first round of a casting show or something) I am surprised that this happens so often in an event that big.
@@MissyLaMotte I was there for all performances live, and yes, there was a lot of technical and sounds engineering issues. But Poland actually sounded terrible live even in national selections
I from Poland and ikr he sang terible
@Malgorzata Stachowska well it sounded terrible on the video and it sounded not so good in Portugal either.
The vocals was a DISASTER
I AGREE! How did Finland not quialify to the final with such a masterpiece?! I'm still annoyed
justice for BLACKBIRD!
Still cant forget Kristina horehroine, Yianni Terzi Oneiro mou, Montenegro İgranka, Chech republic never lies
love the fact you choose songs of decent quality instead of bad songs with an 'amazing'' performances. It is a shame that good songs are already gone before the final.
I’m from Finland and I agree with #1 so much, Norma was amazing!
Unbreakable and Help you Fly are actually one of my fevourite Euro-songs... it's so sad they didn't qualify
And I seee somehow Switzerland and Belarus almost neveer qualify
Belarus 2012 and Switzerland 2018 were quite shocking too.
Iceland not qualifying in 2016 was a crime.
Then again, Iceland not qualifying in 2015 was understandable.
Omg so many here like Finland 2017 so thank youu 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mei Finegold I loved the song so much. Still in my playlist 👌🏼👍🏼
I didn’t realize how many of these have ended up in my permanent playlist over the years... Goes to show that there are a lot of amazing non-qualifiers out there ✨
Montenegro is most underrated country of Eurovision.
2018 Non Qualifiers songs are better then Eurovision 2018 winner.
My top 5 non-qualifiers of all time (that should have qualified)
1. San Marino 2013 (She was the best In semi final two. She was my second that year. A perfect song, a perfect person, a perfect singer, a perfect language. Everything is pure and amazing)
2. Finland 2017 (What a Masterpiece!!!!! This was perfect. I was so happy that you put it first. It was way better than the winner that year)
3. Switzerland 2018 (I am not fan of the songs like this, but this was perfect. Simply perfect. I loved from the first I heard it. I couldn't understand why it didn't go through)
4. Sweden 2010 ( It is one of the best Swedish entries. I couldn't understand why why. It was something different from Sweden and It didn't qualify. I am speechless)
5. Something old
Monaco 2005 (Amazing song. My 4th that year. What a classic background. What a magical song. One of the most Underrated and robbed songs of all time)
Edit: After one month list has changed!!!! My 3rd place is for Latvia 2018!!!!!!!!
So 3-5 go one place lower!
Estonia 2017
Czech Republic 2015
Croatia 2010
Switzerland 2017
Iceland 2016
Switzerland 2018
Portugal 2014
CRIMES
PILISIEMPRE portugal 2014 was 1 point off qualifying.
Azerbaijan 2018?
Great to hear those songs again, their are an amazing songs no doubt
For me Spain, France, UK, Italy and Germany should take part in qualification... It will be more chance for songs who are deserved final..

@@trhrvs
Yes they are robbed but for me this aren't shocking non-qualifier
Where is Macedonia 2016?
@@jesusangeldr49
Noooo for me this is an excepted non-qualifier
Greece not qualifying for the finals 2018 was heartbreaking! I am not the biggets Eurovision devotee, atmitted, but I listened to this song pre-show and it really spoke to me. I kind of understand why it didn´t qualify when eatching the show; it was like the performance never came together and her vocalization was shaky, unfortunately - still heartbreaking though, it had so much potential!
Much Love From Romania❤️
Switzwrland 2013 ''You and me'' was my winner for that year, i still love that song ❤
Finland 2017 😔💛🇫🇮
army!!!
Great list, many good songs that were unfortunate here, and I especially agree when it comes to "Verona". But one song that angered me didn't go to the final was Latvias "Cake to Bake" in 2014. That song made me smile and made me in good spirit. I still love that song.
Wow, Finland could have won 2017 with that song °·°
#4 hear the focals.
Romania 2018 was one of the most undeserved NQ-ers for me since it was a weak semi and the song+performance were good.
I actually think that semifinal results of Eurovision are pretty much obvious once you watch the live performances. The only shocking non-qualifier in Eurovision history was Finland 2017.
50. Weird song. Not bad at all, but didn't deserve qualifying
49. He has a good voice, good song, good staging that camera shot looks AMAZING. Deserved qualifying

46. It's really lovely. Deserved top 10

42. Even if I don't understand anything, it's my winner of 2010💖💖💖. The performance was great
41. I don't understand why it is said that the staging looks bad. The song is called DANCE ALONE. Her vocals were actually good
40. Great song, Kaliopi is amazing💖
39. Deserved top 10. The song used to be my winner, but the performance was quite dull
38.Deserved top 3💖💖💖 At least she got a nice result in 2016
37.Awesome voice, but I don't like her song
36. Amazing, I still don't understand why it didn't qualify
35. I love this song, Dana is great. Deserved at least top 15.

33. This song is epic. The staging looks amazing (I know I'm the only one who thinks this)
32.Strong voice, great song. It still gives me goosebumps
31. I love this song. Deserved top 10.
30. This song is lovely, but quite weird. Deserved qualifying anyway.

27. The same than 28
26. Great song, although the staging was quite boring. Deserved qualifying.
25. One of the best songs of 2017, but the staging ruined it. Deserved top 10
24. It was a great song from the Czech Republic to return to the contest. Deserved at least top 15
23. Nice, but not enough to qualify in my opinion
22. MY WINNER OF 2018.💖💖💖💖💖💖 Amazing song, awesome staging, incredible singer.
21. Lovely song. Deserved top 15
20. Thank God this didn't qualify

17. Weird but nice. Deserved qualifying
16. Another underrated song from Slovakia. My 2nd of that year💖💖💖
15. The song is one of my favourites of that year, and Dofi was simply amazing
14. The beautiful Valentina deserved winning this time💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
13. I simply love this. Deserved top 10 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
12. Very underrated by the Eurofans. The jury would have saved this. Deserved top 10💖💖💖💖
11. Deserved qualifying, but it's nothing special
10. Good song, but not enough to qualify in a semi final with lots of good songs
9. The same than 10
8. Great song, great voice. I still don't understand why Israel qualified in 2015 and 2017 but not in 2011, 2013 and 2014
7. The same than 8
6. Great voice, lovely song, AMAZING dance. Deserved top 10
5. Again, an underrated song from Malta worthy enough to win
4. Terrible voice, cheap song. I thought it would qualify anyway
3. Greta Salome is always very underrated at Eurovision. Igeland deserved top 10 in 2016 and 2017: great songs, great singers, amazing staging (2016)
2. Great song, although the guy staring at the camera made it look weird
1. Amazing song, I really love it.💖💖💖💖 Better than Portugal
Soraya Gabriela Pérez Zambrano Poland in 2018 cheap song? XD i agree with the voice, but the song is well produced and audio sounds really expensive... It’s EDM song, not Disco Polo - that one is cheap as kurwa
You aren't the only one who liked the staging of Greek song.. It also likes me, but I am from Greece.. Is my opinion valid? 😁😁
Yeaah 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you are RİGHT ☺️😎
Shokers:

Norway - Icebreaker
Norway - Haba Haba (such a lovely song)

Nice Video.From those i was shocked(mostly) with 1.Swiss 2012 Sinplus.2.Israel 2011 Mei and most of all Finland 2017 blackbird(i was crying for this).I loved the Greek song last year but live she killed it with a very bad stage appearance.
I agree with most of your choices, of course I would change places. For sure, my number one would be Stella Mwanga and her Haba Haba, she regrets that she did not win the competition in 2011. I did not have a song from Latvia in 2018, it would be very high for me. The biggest positive surprise is place 50.
YES! Finland was ROBBED in 2017! Arguably one of the most beautiful ballads in Eurovision history!
Wow too many good songs✌🏼
Azerbaijan 2018 is very beautiful
Thanks a lot !!!!!
I'm from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿
My 5 favourites:
1. Switzerland 2013
2. Switzerland 2012
3. Moldova 2015
4. Belarus 2015
5. Bulgaria 2011
Very good video!!!
Azerbaijan 2018 is the biggest shock for me because it's our first time
Yes. I hope that Mata Hari will qualify. 👍🇦🇿
Greetings from Baku, Azerbaijan 🇦🇿
I'm from Poland and i loved our 2018 song but Lukas sang in horribly during the eliminations. No wonder we didn't get to the finals.
A matter of time is for me the biggest shock. This song is by far the best of this list.
I'm still angry about Blackbird! Also I can't believe you didn't have Macedonia 2018 with 'Lost and Found' (although the staging was a total mess, the song is one of my all time favourites from 2018 and I still listen to it on a regular basis)
My two biggest shocks were both in 2017 - Verona and Blackbird.
Number one - Lindita. She should have won.
Justice for Yianna!
I agree!!! 😩😩😩
Tanja, Estonia was AMAZING!! She deserved a top5-place in the final instead of the bad result
FYROM last year was a shocker. I really liked her and the song.
Netherlands 2018 and Greece 2018 though the worst decisions, both were in my top 3 of all songs that year.
Based from this timeperiod, there is alot of good songs that didnt make it to the final, and what I think is that many of these songs needed a second listening. Ofcourse there’s not a thing as a second performance But I think it would change alot of the results in many of these years. Anyway, Im not sure about My top 10, 5 or whatever, But what I Can say is that I have two important songs in My life that didnt make it to the final. The first one is The Lovebugs from Switzerland 2009, and the second one is the 3JS from The Netherlands 2011. Especially 3JS song had a HUGE impact on My life, and I just hope someday that Jan Dulles actually know that his song Never Alone Isnt just a last placing song in eurovision, Im sure Im not the only one on the planet that has enjoyed that song after the contest. Im sure all of you have Your songs that didnt make it to the final. Dont forget that this competition is a mixture between song and show, and it has alot to do with the starting positioning. These songs are still amazing!
Bulgaria 2011 is the biggest crime!
But Greece&Azerbaijan 2018 was also
Anna Bergendahl 2010 and Norma John 2017 were fantastic and my favourites of these years.
I don't like the other 48..
um... HELLO? WHERE’S ZIBBZ?
WHYYYYYYY? MONTENEGRO 2013 IS THE BEST OF ALLL! I love even all songs from this top
I love all the songs and Malta 2017 2018 Ireland 2009 where the biggest crimes in the Eurovision song contest
Your first in my top 41
Horehronie, Igranka, Crisalide, Sofi Marinova, Marta & Vaclav, Svala, Triana Park, Ich Troje, Samo Shampioni, Balthazar and Deep Zone, Filipa Sousa, Eduard Romanyuta, Melanie Rene, Alekseev
I love it!

Belarús?
Austria 2013, Macedonia 2016 & 2017 and Greece 2018 are, for me, the most shocking ones. Specially Macedonia 2016, because I'm half Macedonian and because of the song and the meaning it has for me, and for the singer.
north!
So are these songs which didn't get into the finals or?
Finland 2010, Tyolki Ellaa, lovely song. And where were those Latvians who wanted to bake a cake? Can’t forget that!
Agree with many on this list
HOW IS ZIBBZ NOT IN THIS LIST 😱😱😱 was my favorite last year
Franka - Crazy
They ultimate true.
Oh, god, my cute Romania.
Belgium, Israel, Greece, Finland, Norway, Moldova.
My heart. NON QUALIFICATED!!! DARK EVIL ARE NOT EUROVISION!
Why Norway only 31th place?
Estonia 2017 was one of my favourites :'-(
No.45 people weren't even allowed vote for that song😭 it was so sad.
What happened?
Soraya Gabriela Pérez Zambrano I'm actually not sure because it was so long ago but people at home couldn't vote, I think they left it up to the juries for some reason
Hope never dies was robbed, blackbird robbed, hear them calling me robbed...that is all
Czech Republic 2015 and Belgium 2018 are among my most schoking non qualifiers.
Imagine for one second if all of these 50 songs had just qualified. Then we'd have 50 new songs that would probably be WAY more shocking non-qualifiers than these. So I don't really think «shocking non-qualifiers» is the right term to use on most of these songs.. imagine if like salvador sobral hadn't qualified in 2017. Now THAT would have been a shocking non-qualifier.
I guess Switzerland 2018 is not here because SF1 in 2018 was really competitive and Switzerland usually doesn't have any bloc voting; if they were in SF2, they would have had more chance to be qualified.
OK for Belgium 2018 - San Marino 2013 (better than all Valentina's entries) - Switzerland 2017 and Estonia 2017 (still a favourite for me) - Malta 2018 - Georgia 2017 - Portugal 2013 (better than some songs in the final) and Belarus 2016.
2010 Poland failed to qualify thanks to the last 30 seconds of that song, (The chorography in the end looked very weird, looked like a r-pe scene). Had the chorography been the same as what he did in the National Final I think it would qualified.
2010 Croatia, I think was a slower song than others in that Semi final.
2012 Netherlands would have been considered a cultural crime in the USA (Attitudes of Native American headdresses must be different in Europe)
2013 Switzerland I think failed because the old guy looked sincerely lost.
2017 Estonia-additional note, they made the same mistake that 2004 Slovenia made, too much flirting and non word notes.
Freakin' Vola (let down by the public, let me remind you A FAN FAVORITE WAS LET DOWN BY THE PUBLIC!) and Czech Republic 2015. (thx juries!) Two of my faves I'm still not over. Juri was great too (people were saying he gave them creepy vibes but honestly, it kinda fit the song) and Belgium this year. (again fans who loved her, let her down, same with Switzerland, so please people, admit your mistakes sometimes, don't just blame the juries!)
My personal top 30 favorite NQs from this era (in a very loose order, as I think all of them are great, and should have qualified):
30. Cyprus 2013
29. Moldova 2016
28. Latvia 2018
27. North Macedonia 2017
26. Israel 2013
25. Moldova 2014
24. Croatia 2010
23. Estonia 2010
22. Finland 2012
21. Israel 2014
20. Belarus 2009
19. Switzerland 2017
18. Slovakia 2009
17. Malta 2017
16. Switzerland 2018
15. Greece 2018
14. Switzerland 2012
13. Poland 2010
12. Norway 2016
11. Slovenia 2012
10. Portugal 2012
9. Belgium 2018
8. Slovakia 2010
7. Ireland 2017
6. Czech Republic 2015
5. Montenegro 2018
4. Ireland 2015
3. San Marino 2013
2. Estonia 2016
1. Finland 2017
This is an updated version of this list. ruclips.net/video/3AQGSMXvx-Y/видео.html
2017 Slovenia, 2015 Czechia, 2010 Slovakia were the main 3 that should have qualified. 2017 Estonia would have qualified if they sang it in Italian. 2017 was a year where the bad ones qualified and the good songs failed to qualify. Of the top 10 in the finals, only 4 were good. While 5 that didn't qualify were far better (Slovenia, Estonia, Serbia, Finland, Macedonia) all could have been top 10. My order in 2017 would have been Winner Moldova, 2: Romania, 3, Italy,4 Slovenia, 5 Estonia, 6 Azerbaijan, 7 Isreal, 8 Macedonia, 9 France, 10.Sweden...Portugal I had at 27th.
Deserved to be in The Final:
Belarus 2009
Bulgaria 2011
Albania 2017
Belgium 2018
Czech Republic 2015
Croatia 2010
Israel 2013
Finland 2017
This seems more like a list of good songs that didn't qualify rather than "most shocking non-qualifiers." A lot of these were pretty obviously on the bubble. I mean - you're saying there are on average 5 shocks a year!
