Eurovision 2016: MY TOP 42 (with Comments!) 

I will be uploading my pre-show 2020 ranking when every song is released. : ) So far my favourites are Australia, Lithuania, and Ukraine. Can't wait for the show!

Oh, yes. "I'm standing here, just because of you / every part of me is a part of you" - this stucked in my head but sometimes I forget where I heard it? This video reminded, haha. Fantastic.

Thank you so much for the high Iceland ranking, it’s my favourite eurovision song of all time

6:50 i actually have a cool story about that song, i saw it when i was 7 years old and i didnt remembered the name of the song (i speak hebrew), i only remembered a guy with a drum, the music a little and a floor made out pf lava, after 3 years i saw the 2016 Eurovision song contest again and i found out that this was the song that i remembered his music so much time, now i really likes this song!

My top 10: 1. Russia 2. Hungary 3. Serbia 4. Bulgaria 5. Armenia 6. Sweden 7. Belgium 8. Bosnia 9. Cyprus 10. Australia

2016 was a fine year, practically almost every performance (even the less than stellar ones!) really felt like it was on a different stage, hell, a different plane of existence, and that itself kinda elevated each performance. 41: Geez, starting this commentary off strong with an entry I’m pretty sure almost everyone forgot. Have you listened to the club remix of this? It’s...interesting if not a bit generic. 40: Can’t believe i would ever say this about Moldova but...oh yeah, they competed this year. 39: I think the like to dislike ratio on the live performance says a lot already. 38: Oof, normally I don’t MIND when a song gets translated into English, but something about how this entry does it rubs me the wrong way. 36: haha funny pole man go weeeeeee 35: And this would start the downwards meme spiral San Marino would be in now. We have been either blessed or cursed depending on if people actually tolerate San Marino. 34: Eck, this one makes me irrationally angry until I have to remind myself it’s a 3 minute song. Still don’t quuuite like it. 31: Talk about taking influence from last year’s entries. Kinda feels like they just slapped random effects where it didn’t fit and called it a day but...at least it kinda looks okay? 30: I still don’t quite under the outfit, it probably would’ve gotten a somewhat higher placement if it was handled better. I’ve talked about this entry before in the last place ranking so I’ll just leave it at this. 28: I can’t really tell whether or not I hate this entry or secretly enjoy it. Already seems kinda divisive to begin with. Also rip, the only Nordic to qualify and it was an automatic one :( 27: I would like both parts of the song separately, both just sound like my jam, but I just do not think they mesh well together at all. Tis’ a shame cause I probably would’ve liked it. 25: I will admit the staging does seem hard to pull off (I recall in a 2019 video Sergey was reacting to his 2016 performance and saying he hurt his leg during rehearsals) 21: They have a pretty decent track record if their worst result was being the closest to qualify that year. 15: The Czech were taking baby steps this half-decade and I really think it paid off. Kinda sucks it got 0 televote points but...I kinda get it. 14: Ah Georgia, just doing its own thing. I’m afraid I just can’t sit through that performance, not because it’s bad, but because the flashing lights always give me a headache. 9: Man, getting sick during Eurovision must be the worst. 6: I think this is up there with my top 3 Cypriot entries. This live isn’t nearly as flashy as Georgia’s so I can kinda sit through it. 5: Yeah, this is actually really fun. I find myself listening to it way too much...if that’s a crime, then we would be criminals. 2: A good example on how the placements don’t always match the quality of the entry itself. 1: Ooh, this one. This one’s a really controversial entry, dare I say one of the most controversial winners. I’m one of the people who really likes this entry but I do understand some of the hate it gets. Wailing women don’t exactly appeal to everyone.

Thank you very much for the 8th place! 🇭🇺❤️

your MIND!! your TASTE!!!

I love your taste

Finally someone who is not overhyped by Russian entry. Now I feel such a relieve that I am not the only one not liking this performance haha. Also I appreciate putting Iceland and Armenia so high. True masterpieces. Thank you so much

Hi I'm from the UK but I live in Ireland. Looking back now in 2023, 2016 is my favourite year, my all time winner is from this year -Poland. thanks for putting him at your 11, Michal Szpak is a total superstar in my eyes. number one for me of all time. There were some other amazing songs that year, here's my top 10 Poland, Austria, Cyprus, France, Latvia, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Belarus, Hungary, Denmark.

Fun fact: If I were sorry is still played a ton on German radio haha

in my opinion spain is really underrated this time

Ooh uh 2016, I've been liking it more. I literally quit watching Esc for like 3 years after finding out Estonia and Iceland didn't qualify and Romania was withdrawn lmao My top 7: 7: Israel 6: Armenia 5: Iceland 4: Estonia 3: Ukraine 2: Croatia 1: Serbia (It *would've* been Romania but ya know)

placing dami 13th is a crime to humanity

Icebreaker became my winner for me, after 1944 and Sound of sielnce

Joe ane jake problem was we dont want them has the next jedward.

Omg I showed my mom the top 10 of 2016 and she said Ukraine didn't deserve to win 😢, she also said she doesn't like like visionary dreams (Georgia 2007) 😢 She does love Eastern European Funk so she's not completely killable

We have the exact same top 3 lol (put Georgia on 4 and we'd have the same top 6). Taste!

Sergey Lazarev is a GOD!!!

The problem with Joe and Jake the song was uninspired, and we didnt want a new jedward or One direction

25th Russia? 😱

I am sorry to say but there is Albanian instead of Albania Just saying to help😬

You habe to admit that the Song from Switzerland is good, but only the staging destroyed everything...

Cyprus was easily the best song. Go listen to the actual song, not the live.

I like that you're honest but I think this Jamala was not at all deserving of this victory, Russia should've gotten it in my opinion but there's no changing things now. Still happy you liked Midnight Gold and Heartbeat though :)
