Eurovision Selection Entries That Deserved a Better Result - Volume #1

Описание: I got an idea the other night - what if I made a video where I analyze some of my favorite Eurovision national selection entries through the years got a less-than-desirable result, and try to figure out what went wrong? And as a result, this video was born! All thoughts and comments are my own thoughts and I would love to hear what you think about these songs, or if there are any songs that YOU think deserved a better result! I may include your comment in a future video :)

I've done my best to avoid including songs that reached top 5 in the grand final of a selection, and to focus on songs that failed to qualify from a heat or semi-final instead. This is not a rule that is set in stone, in fact I broke that rule for one of the songs in this video. But it's a good guideline to have, in an attempt to shine some light on the more forgotten entries of a selection!

WHO ARE YOU? (last updated November 2025)
I am a Swedish 29 year-old man who has followed Eurovision and Melodifestivalen for as long as I can remember, but my first memory is from 2002. I'm a member of OGAE Sweden and I used to co-host a Swedish Eurovision podcast called "Sa Du Schlager?!" together with a few friends. I've been to several live shows of Melodifestivalen, the semi-finals of ESC 2024 and I follow every national selection every year. I was also apart of the press in Melodifestivalen between 2024 and 2025 and provided comments and news related to the contest. Alongside making videos on YouTube, I've studied to become a professional video editor. My hobbies include singing, sewing, playing video games (preferably older ones), collecting vinyl records and gardening. Music has a huge part in my life and I listen to it pretty much 24/7. Ever since 2018 I've released a weekly music chart every Monday on my Instagram titled the "Weekly Roundup", where I showcase my 7 most played songs from the previous week. I'm an all-eater when it comes to music. There aren't many genres I'm not a fan of, but female-oriented pop music usually sticks to me very easily, along with the occasional rock song.
