ESC 2012 - My Top 42 (with Comments)

Музыка

This is my top 42 ranking of the songs competing in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Hopefully you will respect my opinion. There will always be a bit of personal preference included in a ranking like this but I've analyzed all of these songs quite well to make sure that I've got the widest picture of them all seperately.

    With the exception of Sweden (yes I'm in the minority who is pretty eh to Euphoria and thinks that it was too overrated), I love your top 10! I do think you were really harsh on Russia though. For me it deserved every single point that it got. They also sang in Udmurt, not just mainstream English throughout! And the lyrics isn't about cliche love songs as well. Anyway, I'm rambling, this is my top 10 of 2012: 10. Malta - really catchy and the vocals were great 9. Germany - simple yet emotional 8. Azerbaijan - love the addition of Azerbaijani mugham and her vocals... 7. Portugal - grand. Such a crime that it NQed 6. Turkey - ethnic & creativity at its finest! And I dig the vocals unlike some people 5. Russia - folk & modern, along with grannies baking cookies? Sign me up! 4. Bulgaria - amazing vocals, multilingual and I love the Roma/Gypsy influences 3. Estonia - Godlike vocals and emotions overload 2. Albania - very powerful song, lyrically, vocally and emotionally 1. North Macedonia - unique and flawless vocals, and contrary to what you said the rock influence actually made the song miles better for me

    42. Oh, Georgia, my favourite ESC country... what did you do? 41. I actually like this, it's brace and it's not Valentina's best but it's still decent. 40. So cute! Guilty pleasure. 39. Yeah, it's awful, but I like it because it's so damn catchy and I love the instrumental. 38. Ew. 37. UKRAINE?! I am disgusted.... 36. She isn't a bad singer or anything but this does nothing for me. Boring. 35. My country, and I agree. Lipstick was FAR better. 34. It's not a bad chorus but I agree about the Indian thing. 33. I really like this SONG. The performance and vocals though... 32. I like it, it deserved a better place in ESC. 31. Forgettable. 30. LEGENDARY. It's terrible... but so so good😂 29. It gets annoying, but it can be quite catchy and entertaining. 28. Generic. And I SEE AMBER!! 27. The singer is actually pretty good, and it's a cute song and I love that it's mainly in Spanish. 26. ABSOLUTELY ROBBED IN ESC! Deserved top 10, her vocals are excellent and the song is great. 25. I like it, I don't like that It robbed Sofi, but I enjoy it. 24. The vocals aren't great, but she was sick. It's still amazing. 23. One of portugal's better entries, not as good as 2008 or 2014. 22. I like both versions a LOT, but the rock was way better. 21. Maybe my favourite this year, I really like it and it was super memorable. 20. QUEEN! I loved the rock influence, and her vocals are AMAZING. 19. Maybe my favourite Lithuanian entry, or second to 2015. 18. Beautiful! Should've qualified :( 17. Memorable and solid. Good song. 16. I really like this- and she was so young too! Super memorable ballad. 15. I LOVE THIS. This is a Marmite song, and I love it. She has the most beautiful voice. 14. I love this, it's so fun but yet Ethnic. 13. My favourite Italian entry. I LOVE this. 12. Englebert had amazing vocals and is so talented. For once my other country sent a good song. Underrated! The chorus is beautiful. 11. Insane vocals. Deserved higher in ESC.. 10. It's good, I won't deny that. But it's such a rip off of the amazing Helena and Kalomoira. 9. I LOVE THIS. It's literally my favourite song to sing when I'm home alone😂 8. Meh. 7. YESSS! One of my favourite entries ever. It's so catchy and different! 6. Germany deserved this place. It was amazing and yeah, I agree, really like the Fray! 5. Just beautiful. 4. TuUUUNE. Not turkey's best but damn good and damn entertaining. 3. Zeljko is a living legend. One of the most beautiful Balkan ballads ever. 2. Insane- how did this only come 20th?! Underrated! 1. THIS stood out. Deserved winner. All in all, this year was strong af. Almost 2010 level strong. But euphoria was the very best, that no one ever was.

    Oh dear, this might be the year, whereI disagree the most with you... . 01st - Estonia - Powerful ballad, powerful singer, beautiful language... . I don't want more - 10/10 02nd - Bosnia & Herzegovina - Also powerful, amazing climax, astonishing beuatiful performance - 10/10 03rd - Serbia - He is a pure genius, everything is just perfect - 10/10 04th - Iceland - Criminally underrated, absolutley the best duet in 2012, would've preferred it in Icelandic - 9,5/10 05th - Portugal - Insanely great ballad with a lovely Portuguese touch, criminally underrated - 9,5/10 06th - Finland - Smooth ballad, sweet lyrics, which even elevate the song, perfect - 9,5/10 07th - Italy - I have no idea why she sang in English when Italian is such a great language - 9/10 08th - Macedonia - Ballad meets rock, impressive combination, out of the world voice - 9/10 09th - Spain - I love Pastora, I love the Spanish language, I love her voice - 9/10 10th - Switzerland - Why the hell didn't this qualify? The only setback is for me the lightly repetetive chorus - 9/10 11th - Slovenia - Probably the most underrated one in 2012; for what reason??? - 9/10 12th - Germany - Sweet and calm song, very good matching voice, very chilly - 8,5/10 13th - Bulgaria - What a nice mix of languages. She even is alone and stage and she rules! - 8,5/10 14th - Albania - Those long and high notes, OMG, perfect, but a bit too much imo - 8/10 15th - Moldova - Great voice and an entertaining performance, well done! - 8/10 16th - Azerbaijan - Lovely middle eastern feeling, a bit ruined by the language, at least some Azerbaijani here? - 7,5/10 17th - UK - I don't get the hate, a timeless classic for me! - 7,5/10 18th - Turkey - Entertaining one, can get a bit annoying though - 7/10 19th - Croatia - My feeling says there is something missing in this song, but I cant tell... - 7/10 20th - The Netherlands - Outfit matches to the lyrics, yet people complain. Her voice is a little let down, however - 7/10 21st - Lithuania - Great voice and nice song - 7/10 22nd - Sweden - It's nice but not a winner for me. There were just 21 better songs for me (One sided year? Never!) - 6,5/10 23rd - Hungary - I like it - 6,5/10 24th - Denmark - Nice one, sweet voice, but there is some kind of climax missing for me - 6,5/10 25th - Romania - Not a huge fan, but it's okay - 6/10 26th - Ireland - Agree, Jedward were so much better in 2011 - 5,5/10 27th - Malta - Song is okay, the chorus however can't be called a chorus, as you explain - 5/10 28th - France - Average, voice is bit annoying sometimes, and wtf is that staging? - 5/10 29th - Belgium - Sweet, but generic and very forgettable - 5/10 30th - Ukraine - You can do soooo much better, Ukraine! 4/10 31st - Montenegro - Probably the best troll ever, but the song itself is rubbish - 3/10 32nd - Cyprus - Catchy, but very annoying at the same time for me - 3/10 33rd - Greece - It's difficult to find positive aspects about this, sorry Greece, but you can do better, like in 2013 - 3/10 34th - Norway - Ok but trashy song combined with bad vocals - 2,5/10 35th - Slovakia - Song is okay, but live was a mess - 2,5/10 36th - Russia - Agree here, so much sympathy points here - 2/10 37th - Belarus - Very average - 2/10 38th - Latvia - No, just no. Bad song, ridiculous performance (my god, those background singers gestures...) - 1/10 39th - San Marino - Who ever the heck thought, this would be a good idea should be fired - 0/10 40th - Israel - A whole mess, can't appreciate anything here - 0/10 41st - Georgia - While the start on Georgian seems promising, the rest ist just a NO! - 0/10 42nd - Austria - I neither gonna shake my ass, nor I'm going to comment that any further - 0/10

    My Top 10 for 2012: 12 points - Sweden: Obvious choice. 10 points - Macedonia - Loaded with fire! 8 points - Iceland - Absolutely lovely and definitely deserved higher than 20th. I agree. 7 points - Spain - Blows you away. Deserves higher than tenth. 6 points - Serbia - Zeljko does it again with a song delivering the best qualities of a 'Balkan Ballad.' 5 points - Italy - I've never been disappointed by Italy at the ESC. I like the sass of this number. 4 points - Bosnia-Hercegovina - Another under recognized beauty of a song. 3 points - Russia - C'mon. Ya gotta love the Russian grannies! They were sweet. 2 points - Cyprus - Makes a perfect summer song. 1 points - France - I ranked it high because of its energy. Of Interest: I liked Austria. It was so awful, I had to love it!

    Georgia and Montenegro's songs are definitely one of my biggest guilty pleasures from Eurovision. Overall, I pretty much agree with a lot of things that you said, but one of your comments that I really don't agree with is about Macedonian entry, I think without rock influences it would be worse, maybe not a lot, but worse. It's in my top 10 now. And I like UK's song too, which is rare :D I wouldn't have put Turkey in the 4th place, but I do think it's a very nice song , too. I just saw your top 10 and I don't know if I agree with that, maybe just because I'm not usually a fan of ballads. but your top 5 is very good! I think 2012 wasn't a really good year in Eurovision, though.

I don't know, could be the style of it that just doesn't appeal to my personal preference, but it sounded kind of muddy and messy to me and I'm happy to hear that we're on the same page for majority of the songs :) Montenegro is definitely one of my biggest guilty pleasures ever, it's too damn funny!

    If a song is "funny" or "absurd" it's automatically bad in your opinion? Also, I didn't appreciate locating the 2015 French entry the third last: I admit that on stage, Lisa sang slowly and heavily and the ending was remade in an awful way but it would STILL deserve a placing within the top20! Obviously you never study what the lyrics mean if they're sung in other languages besides English.

    +FannomacritaireSuomi funny songs can definitely be great! Good examples of this is Belarus 2014, Greece 2013, Spain 2010 and France 2010 the thing is though, that in my opinion, they have to be catchy in the right way, as well as have some serious thought in them (either a good vocalist, a memorable staging, the right amount of energy etc.) 2012 was definitely a year that had funny songs, but none of them included any serious thoughts... Russia was a trainwreck at everything, it sounded terrible, the staging was dumb (in my opinion), and it was awkward for me to look at San Marino was just annoying in every way for me, if a song makes me laugh at how bad it is, I can't possibly look at it and say "that was a good entry", maybe I'd say it's memorable, but certainly not good Austria was literally a song about someone shaking their butt... dry beat, dumb lyrics, terrible staging and poor vocals... not a big fan of it As for the 2015 video and the deal with France... I honestly couldn't care less if the lyrics were the most beautiful ones ever written when you place them on such a terrible instrumental... NOTHING happens in that song, they add some drums on the end, but the rest is just a bunch of melodramatic string- and pianowork mashed together to sound emotional... I've heard a lot of meaningful songs throughout the years, but the french entry just seemed so very fake to me, nothing felt real about that song, it mostly felt like France wanted to send something classy (like they did in 2009) so they could reach the fine, classy people watching Eurovision... but there was nothing in that entry that grasped people from that audience... it felt too polished, and it felt too much like an attempt of trying to make something captivating and meaningful... but it just didn't work Please remember that these are all my thoughts, it's completely fine if you have another take on these pointers... that's what makes Eurovision interesting, just because these songs were nothing to me doesn't restrict anyone else from liking them

    Here are my opinions :) 42: So awfull! 41:What were they thinking?!? 40:That this got second place is just a disgrace.. Bad song, bad staging... 39:For a german speaker this is much more awfull than for you, cause he is singing „shake your ass“ in a austrian accent for 90% of the song... Sooooo bad! 38:I liike it. The chorus is nice.... 37:Ukraine.... Why?..... 36:You nailed it.. So forgettable! 35:I like this song more then „Lipstick“ cause it actually has a half decent structure, even tho their vocal performances are awfull once more! 34:No, just no! You can't wear this as a white girl from the Netherlands... Just no... The song is generic... 33:Yeah vocals are bad, but the song is good! 32:One of the better french entries and that is saying something :) 31:Genric, forgettable.... 30:The finest piece of sarcasm in Eurovision till „Love, Love“ 29:Israel, just stick to your ballads. Seriously! 28:Ok.. But not really good, lyrics are painfully bad.. 27:So much fun“ Deserves a higher place!:P 26:So much stage presence.. Wow... The song is also very nice.. 25:Norway, also just sick to your beautifull ballads... His voice is so painfull to hear! 24:So energetic and so much fun! My number 3 :D 23:Yes Portugal! This is how you get a half decent result. Or a great result for your country :P 22:same here. The rock version wwas superior in every way! 21:Niiice...... We need more rock in Eurovision! 20:I love the rock influences! And her voice is very powerfull! 19:Meh..... Slightly catchy and enjoyable 18:Such a sweet voice and language... Very relaxing. 17:Smooth and strong at the same time. I like it! 16:well.... Average... 15:I still don't get it.. I don't like „screaming“ songs 14:Oh Moldavia, you know how to party. Very catchy! 13:Europe meet Amy Whinehouse! This song is so sassy and catchy its my number 2 12:Wow.. a great entry by the UK... Overall a very good song with beautiful dancers! 11:Very strong... Spain keep it up and you'll win some day! 10:Well f*ck.. Now I#m gonna hum this for 3 weeks again! So catchy! 9: Good ballad but this country has much better performances! 8:To me this is quit forgettable, sorry :( 7:Aaaand we have a winner ;) My number 1 because its so damm powerful and energetic. I can't believe it did not qualify 6:The last good result for my country and for a very good reason. Very good vocals and a sweet song! 5:Strong voice, beautiful language, good song! 4:No, just no.... So annoying! 3:Serbia had better, but this is still damm great! 2:Yeah. Nice duet and two very good vocalists.. Underrated! 1:Ehm, no. This performance was good, but the song itsself is not a winner. Sweden had better entries throughout the years!

    Here's what I like and dislike for this year. I dislike: Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Romania, San Marino, Slovakia, Switzerland, Ukraine and United Kingdom. Meaning that I like: Azerbaijan, Belarus, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Italy, Macedonia, Moldova, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Turkey. So, I like 17 out of 42 songs. I personally feel that this year is overrated. Considering I like less than half of the songs, I'm not a fan of this year. Despite that, all the songs that I do like are very memorable to me.
