    2016- 4th place (backing vocalist)
    2017- 2nd place (backing vocalist)
    2018- 3rd place (lead singer)

    Again, updated for 2019:
    - Jurij Veklenko (Lithuania) - previously a backing vocalist in 2013 and 2015
    - Tamara Todevska (North Macedonia) - besides singing lead in 2008, she was also a backing vocalist in 2004 and 2014
    And if 2020 had happened, we would've seen the Mamas take center stage after singing backing vocals for Sweden in 2019, Austria's Vincent Bueno previously sang backing vocals for Nathan Trent in 2017, Malta's Destiny sang backing vocals for Michela in 2019, North Macedonia's Vasil sang backing vocals for Tamara in 2019, and one of the members of Hurricane sang backing vocals for her father Knez in 2015.
    Second update for 2021: Vincent Bueno, Vasil, Destiny, and Ksenija all got to compete, so no change there.

      Yes, but the video is about her appearances before her lead entry (2009), although I didn't know she was in 2014 and 2016 :O

    • @icecranberry2148

      Oh, now I get it! Ok, that makes sense. She's basically someone to call when Croatia, Montenegro and Slovenia have no other background singer to turn to. (I won't start about what a controversy she caused (next to a Croatian composer) that she sang for Slovenia as a lead singer in 2009. Some people were complaining even though she does have Slovenian roots! I mean, her lastname is completey Slovene!). She was also in EMA 2015 with the same composer but didn't come to the finals. I loved Alive, I hope she does come back (and piss those nationalists a bit more *evil laugh*).
