- Wow, so many bad songs that really deserved last place and so many good ones that didn't deserve it! Please comment what you think about this. :) Also, from 2004 and onward I only used the last placed entry from the final, so the last placed songs from the semi-finals are not included.
Please enjoy the video and congratulations Denmark on winning the ESC 2013! :D - Hudba
FINLAND! SIX TIMES! I'm so proud of my country...
:DDD Me too. :D But we have 1 winning time. Lordi. :D
man i guess it's finnish-ed?
Austria seems to have been there at least as many times as Norway and Finland... ;)
florenna Austria got last 7 times, Belgium 8 times, Finland 9 times and Norway even 11 times!
Dinayrore SMW Sorry during all the history you have actually 8 times :-) But the best song ever was Lapponia :-) fantastic song that really should have had first place :-)
Every single clip from Finland in this video made me laugh out loud. Amazing! :D
Spain 1983 is amazing
My favorite entry from Spain
2011: my second fave ends up last in the finals and my fave ends up very last in the contest...fuck that year.
zarko stanic worst year in eurovision
spain 1983 is a classic i love it
RIP Norway
Turkey 1975 and Turkey 1987’s songs are great 💖💖💖
So many great songs, like: Turkey 1975, Spain 1983, Turkey 1987, Finland 1990, Finland 1996, Denmark 2002, Malta 2006, Ireland 2007, Finland 2009 and Ireland 2013. They were so underrated IMO. :(
Turkey is very underrated before 2000's
***** I like both of them. :D
1999 Spain? Where?
Ulusal jurilerde hep bir Türkiye alerjisi vardı.
I certainly am: I find the Lithuanian song of 1994 really beautiful. An underrated entry!
Even the last place finishers sound good to me.
ExclusiveLM Now that WWII stuff can be pretty interesting to me, I watch many.
Lina Llorente That is the biggest complaint against Eurovision that I have heard.
the entry is Turkey 1975!!! we are still listening darling. this is really good love song
"Antes do Adeus" - possibly the most shapeless song I've ever heard.
It's actually a verry good song when you listen to it a second time.
Great video compilation thank you. Basically the categories are
Reasonable songs being badly sung
Bad songs being well sung and performed
Songs in languages that only a few countries understand - might explain Finland and Norway.
Technical problems weakening the performance - like the sound feedback issues that hit Jemini and was a part of the reason the girl singer was out of tune a lot of the time.
and finally some reasonable songs / singers that were just plain unlucky on the night and didn't attract votes - that is the mystery category.
some of them are really bad, but some of them are good!!! I like, for instance, Belgium(1993), Lithuania (94), Germany (95), Switzerland (98), Spain (99), Belgium (00), Denmark (02), Norway (04), Poland (08), UK (10), Switzerland (11) y Ireland (13).
Mata Hari should be among the cult Eurovision entries of all time ;)
Yeah it is so good
Actually, most of these songs are not bad at all. I mean - of course they aren't masterpieces of music, obviously, but you could say the same about winning songs too. It only makes me think Eurovision is such a random contest. A winning song could be last if the musician wasn't so lucky, or if the political climate were different at the time.
Politics aren't always a factor... was Ireland that good in the 90s???
Please read the description before commenting on how the results from 2004 and onward are wrong, thank you.
Turkey 1987 was a catchy up-beat song that didn't deserve the last place. More like top 3 of 1987.
Spain 1983 wasn't a song for Eurovision but to say that it was anywhere near as bad as Turkey's song the same year is ridiculous. A decent song that was much too serious for the contest.
Denmark 2002 didn't deserve last either. Average but there were several worse songs that year. Fact is the winner (Latvia) wasn't better.
Finland 2009 wasn't *that* bad either. 2009 was a year with many good songs though.
Great Britain 2003 and Germany 2008 definitely *did* deserve last place.
And in 2000 Israel's "Be Happy!" song was easily the worst that year. How it ended 3rd last is anybody's guess.
James Shunt Turkey 1987 Turkey :( My top 3
National juries never ever like Turkey. This is the main reason of why Turkey doesn't join esc anymore.
Denmark 2002 really didn't deserve last place. Wonderful song!
Finland 2009 and Switzerland 2011 and Norway 2012 and Ireland 2013 are SO underrated!
Ryan from Ireland didn't deserve last place at all, he was a really good singer! (2013)
I agree, Ryan Dylan had a very good song and performance, just the year before Tooji with stay, they didnt deserve to finish last
His singing was really off-key.
So many good songs and artists, competition is a lottery...
Poor Semiha from 1975 was robbed. "Seninle bir dakika" is a beautiful song. Europe had no taste back then, man!
+misspoptart Does Europe have better taste today? If anything it's even worse. At least back then it was juries voting not kids voting for their neighbor country twenty times expecting the same in return.
The Cyprus situation made it so that that happened. So politics.
Aw, but I loved "Cry Baby". 😢
Oh Christ! My musical taste must be bad (as if i didn't realise that already by watching Eurovision vids on CZcams!) because from 2000 onwards i love most of the last placed songs! 2003, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013....... BUT most of them did have a pretty shocking vocal / live performance. 2011 i don't get, love the simple performance, but that was a really strong year and was tight in voting. And the UK gave it lots of points so i'm not alone!
You say that, but 2011 was the weakest year for me, along with 2001.
Very interesting video. I have to admit that there are many songs I like among the last placed ;-)
In my opinion all of these deserved last place except Switzerland (2011) and Ireland (2013).
Switzerland 2011 was lovely, didn't deserve last place
finland in 1996 should not have placed last!! an awsome song!!
Really liked Switzerland 2011
I dont understand switzerland 2011. It was my favourit
I don't know, but I feel because the song has a little "plagiarism", I believe hear the chorus in other place but I don't remember where.
Portugal's entry of 1974 was a really wonderful, great song!
So many songs that definitely deserved better 😢
1975 Turkish entry very very very underrated all politics at that time
Finland 1996 is My favorite
I think I have to agree with you... I don't know why anyone would have thought that dress was a good idea.
2011 I love that song :(
Well, some of them did not ended last. These were last placed in the GRAND FINAL, but some entries did not made it to the grand final.. so some of these are the baddest of the best.
2010 .... that song really had it coming
they were really overconfident after Jade Ewen
I quite liked the Spanish song about her boat but I loved Josh Dubovie in 2010, I am probably the only person who liked it!
You're not alone on Josh Dubovie, don't worry!!
formulacountdown i liked it too
I love 2002, 2003, 2008, 2009 and 2011 songs!
But the last place is better than nonqualification in the final!
Ireland in 2013 and Switz in 2011... both well meaning , sung well - robbed of higher placing!
norway's 2012 didn't deserve the last place
My comments of the 2000's:
2000: Boring but the opening of the songs sound good.
2001 (Norway): One of my favorites this year. Maybe it sounds TOO GOOD for the contest?!
2001 (Iceland, not showed in the video): Another favorite, nice, smoothy melody to a good pop song.
2002: A little bit of a James Bond-feeling and she looks nice. Didn't deserve last place.
2003: HAHAHA!!! UK first last placed entry. But to be hoenst, she song is still better than Russias t.A.T.u.
2004: Why?! This sounds like a soundtrack made for a animated movie.
2005: OK.
2006: One of my favorites and I still like it! I blame on the pretty blend and slow preformance wich didn't match the song.
2007: Irish folkmusic sounds wonderful but I think the performance (and especially the singer) seems messy. It could have been so much better!
2008 (Germany): Not bad but nothing special. Why does people have such a big hate for girlbands in the contest?!
2008 (Poland): Beautiful. Lat place?! WTF??!!!
2008 (UK): Another favorite of mine even though the melody isn't 100% perfect.
2009: This was a big surprise for me. The song is awesome!
aaaaaaaaa my head ! I resisted 3 minutes and couple of seconds
Poor "Mata Hari", it's the most underrated song in all long Eurovision history.
MAMAMAMATAHARI :D
Poor Norway and Finland. :D
Out of recent years, especially Switzerland 2011 had no business at the bottom, it deserved top10! Many other cases of major injustice though.
1973: Belgium. What were they thinking?
2003 What were THEY thinking?
Belgium 1973 is one of the best here imho.
Oh liven up, it's funny!
I never knew Daniel Agust participated in Eurovision (7:35)! He is now a member of a top Icelandic band GusGus.
poor Norway so many lol
My comments on th 2010's:
2010: HAHAHA.....hillarious bad! Poor guy!
2011: This was one of the best songs, Switzerlands best entry in years! I still like it and it didn't deserve the last place. Anna sings perfect and the song is so charming that my heart melts. Poor Switzerland! You have me on your side ;)
2012: House-pop that sounds OK but nothing more. Wasn't my favorite in the norwegian national final at all.
2013: Like Finland 2009, this was a very big surprise for me. I thought this one was gonna be top 15 or something.
2010 was wrote by those lovely chaps Stock, Aitken and Waterman; who were responsible for Kylie and Jason, and all those others in the 80s
We Turks still listen "Seninle Bir Dakika" .. And we know she didnt deserve this result..And we proud our first entry in Eurovision Song Contest !
Cyprus 1986 is one my favourite songs.
2008, Andy should NO WAY IN DEEPEST HELL have deserved last place!!! It's a great song, performed brilliantly live and studio, catchy and just all around great. Such an injustice for the guy :'(
Turkey 1975, Spain 1983 & Turkey 1983❤️
I loved Switzerland 2011!!! It should have been in top 5 in my opinion
According to the official Eurovision website www.eurovision.tv the UK was distinct last place in 2008. Although UK, Poland and Germany all finished on 14 points, under tie-break rule they were separated as follows: Germany 23rd, Poland 24th, UK 25th (i.e. last place in the grand final).
i remember thinking in 2002 that denmark would easily finish in top 5
All are very interesting!
Last place of Switzerland in 2011 is just a joke >_
Belgium 1973 is so sweet.
Can u put the songs from the semifinals? ;)
Spain 1983 doesn't deserved last palce. I lovelove Remedios Amaya ¿Quién maneja mi barca? In comparison with the ridiculous British comments and the wimpy presenter , she appears as a firework of passion.
Funny how 'loose control' by Waldo#s people was my fav in 2009. Still listening to it occasionally today~
I was so ashamed by the german entries in 2003 and 2008.... I was watching it with my family on tv and we just thought "What the hell is happening here" and honestly they truely deserved 0 points.
But I can´t understand why we did´nt get any points this and last year.
Nicole & Hugo. The most loved losing Eurovision act ever. No - one could replace those purple platform heels and jumpsuits, the extra tall backing singer and three ladies in curly wigs - was the stylist on valium?? It is the definitive Eurovision losing moment. Never mind, their wonderful voices have stood the test of time as has their marriage - so they are the winners in the end and we all love them!
Strange to think the not only the fact that some of these countries got by the semis but also GOT PICKED by their nations
Can I just say that there are not enough words to describe how much I loathe Eurovision
That poor Norwegian woman who came last in 1974 and again in 1976!
the fact the last place of 1986 is my 2nd of 1986, I really like Tora Zo
1999 Spain is also my 4th of 1999
Belgium 1993 isn't actually bad
Denmark 2002 is heavily underrated is great for 2002.
UK 2003 is actually alright, just poor vocals.
Malta 2006 could be good if better vocals
Poland 2008 is so beautiful and didn't deserve last.
UK 2008 is also good and didn't deserve last place.
Finland 2009 also is okay, not deserving a last place.
Norway 2012 is again good just with poor vocals, good performance.
Ireland 2013 - predicted to do well, went last in running order, was actually pretty good - what the hell went wrong?
Null-point Teigen suprises me, I find him great xD and Belgium 1973 makes me really SAD - it's one of my fav esc entry ever:O
Spain 1970 (Julio Iglesias - Gwendolyne) is the most underrated and the BEST Eurovision song ever!!
Eurovision Gwendolyne from Greece μαζί σου!
TheGoaBase Ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ για την υποστήριξη!! :΄(
TheGoaBase Εγώ πιστεύω πως άμα έπαιρνε μηδέν βαθμούς θα ήταν τουλάχιστον σε αυτήν την λίστα εδώ και ο κόσμος θα του έδινε περισσότερη σημασία λέγοντας ότι δεν άξιζε μηδέν βαθμούς κλπ. Όχι όπως τώρα που ούτε καλή θέση είχε πάρει το 1970 και που συνήθως τον βάζουνε σε χαμηλές θέσεις στα τοπς του 1970... Σπάνια δηλαδή τον έχω δει να είναι στα τοπ 3 σε 1970 τοπς!!! Δηλαδή ήταν τόσο χάλια που δεν ήταν καν για μηδέν βαθμούς;;;;; Τελείως αδιανόητο.... :΄(
finally something finland is good at!
OMG thought the same XD
In my opinion, most of the songs do not deserve the latter place, for example, 1997 years, 1992, 1983, 1986 ...I wonder who will be the last in Vienna in 2015 ?
1975 Turkey and 1999 Spain are really good songs. I'll never understand why they're the last instead of the top three.
I actually liked that entry by that mad crazy Spanish lady from 1983 singing about her boat being stolen.
1969 - 4 way tie for winner
1974 - 4 way tie for last
I only now know this, and dang... a four way tie is rare enough , but one for first place and last only 5 years apart!
Actually the songs after 2004 we can't Say Last placed for them because they all qualified for the final except "Big 5" and owners(only austria)
portugal came last in 74, but i don't even care, because that song is one of the songs that got us free from decades of a dictatorship
Denmark 2002 was a great song! Pity last place
This wouldn't be a ''last placed'' list without Lithuania :DD
WTF, never thought that Scandinavian countries (especially Norway) didn't have much luck in the early years of the contest..
Really was suprised with the worst songs in 2012/2013, I really like those songs :p
WTF why do Norway and Finland end up in last place so often? Haha
Also Norway in 1981, I never even knew that song was in Eurovision. That's like a big classic here in Norway.
+Niobesnuppa Norvegia reklamen
Gizmos Monster
Jaaaa :)
Switzerland and Belgium too!
I wonder how much it has to do with the languages, and how alien they sound to most Europeans. It would also explain in part why the United Kingdom and Ireland did so consistently well in those days.

Happy i missed 2008 to be honest.
I still do this day don't understand why 2006 Malta was last it was a good song .. UK 2008 really was a good and one of our best ones we had out for eurovision but then again I think a lot people from other countries have issues with the UK song.NORWAY 2012!! WHY WAS THIS SONG LAST ITS AN AMAZING SONG!!
I so love eurovision
1974 were all among the least deserved - Portugal 1974 even started a revolution!! Also Norway 1976 is great.
Favourite last place entries -
7. Portugal 1997
6. Finland 1992
5. Norway 1997
4. Portugal 1974
3. Austria 1991
2. Luxembourg 1970
1. Cyprus 1986
I also liked Finland 1990, Finland 1996, Norway 2004, Switzerland 2011 and Norway 2012, but I didn't include any of them because none of them actually came last.
Finland technically beat Norway in 1990 because the highest amount of points Finland got from country was 5, while Norway got no more than 4 points from any country
In 1996 there was a pre-qualifier that eliminated seven songs, so Romania actually came last in 1996
Norway 2004 got three points in the final, while Switzerland 2004 failed to get even one point, so Switzerland actually came last
And Switzerland 2011 and Norway 2012 both qualified from the semi-final
The last place is the song that has the least points in FINAL not in semi final! The last one in semi final is the worst non-qualifier! But in 2001 Iceland was also in last and in 2008 only United Kingdom was last.
Hey, now that's an interesting compilation. 1995 and 2005 and 2008. Hm. Thought Germany could book more than three last places, Oh well, those were all rather deserved, well Gracia was a bit unlucky I guess. Poor Finland.
Oh. I forgot Cindy & Bert 1974, how could I. :P
To be fair, its a fine line between the very worst & the very 'best'. They all sound pretty much the same to me.
Bar Jemini, which was bad because of 'technical difficulties', the rest of the songs are okay but forgettable. It's not a good sign when the costume choices upstage the song. Like the purple flared catsuit couple and that lady clad in deckchair material. And the times the UK came last - absolutely deserved every single time. Josh was so forgettable that even he has forgot he came last in 2010.
I think that the last one in final has done better than the last ones in Semifinals.
Poland 2008 is a great song, but the performance killed it :(
Yay! The UK gets last place… what a surprise :o no sh1t, we're terrible at Eurovision. On the other hand, Ireland 2013 didn't deserve last, it was actually my favourite that year.
I DON´T UNDERSTAND WHY NORWAY WAS LAST IN 1997! The song was very good
Come on. That song was light years out of the european culture. It shouted out miles away that this was last place material. Bad version of the american culture product. Nothing to do with our continent!
1986, 1987, 1989 and 1992 are the best imo. Especially Daniel Agust, what happened there?
***** The song was pretty decent but yes I agree, THOSE PANTS. Ah, the 80s. (It's funny how he went on to join GusGus though lol)
I think Spain in 1999 were doomed the moment she put on that dress.
As a British person, I still feel embarrassed seeing our 2003 entery, even 11 years on. Denmark didn't deserve last place in 2002. Think a lot of their songs are overated but this was so good. She looks a bit like Kim Wilde used to. Also like Spain 1999
Aaah, UK 2003 was so painful to watch. From every possible little aspect.
2003: United Kingdom NIL POINTS! The thing about this, the song wasn't bad, they were just out of tune on the night. Still embarrassing though
2005: Actually a great song
2008: So bad, I'm glad I don't remember this year
2009: One of the best songs from that year, but because it had rap, it was last :(
We (Norway) have been last 11 damn times, this is so embarrassing and depressing
Oh wow, Spain (my country 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸) appears less that I thought
