    I have a few, not in any particular order.

    2024 Ireland, Bambi Thug 'Doomsday Blue' (I didn't have a problem with it as much as other people did. It was a memorable performance. Just wish she took not getting first a bit more graceful. But I digress.)

    2106 Belarus, Ivan 'Help You Fly'.

    2018 Estonia, Elina Nechayeva 'La Forza'

    2016 Belgium, Laura Tesoro 'What's The Pressure'

    and others.

    Several UK entries I loved - "Rockbottom" by Lynsey de Paul & Mike Moran 1977, "Bad Old Days" by Coco 1978, "Beg, Steal or Borrow" by The New Seekers 1972.

    Of more recent ones, "Rise Like a Phoenix" by Conchita Wurst 2014 was the one time I predicted the winner from the beginning.

    I was obsessed with "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" last year and "Cha Cha Cha in '23 so the mashup by Baby Lasagne and Käärijä this year was my highlight of the evening.

    Given the choice I'd have had Tommy Cash with "Espresso Macchiato" as my winner this year - I'm just a bit sick of tortured ballads, I like it to be fun and as ridiculous as possible!
