Eurovision: Top 25 Returnees Who Did Better in Their Subsequent Attempts 

Hello everyone! It seems that there might be a confusion as to why there are returning artists who were not included in this video. I apologize for the confusion. I wrote in the description box that I adopted the formula of ESC Clarinet Moon in ranking these entries; thus, the entries that you see in the video are STATISTICALLY the best returning entries based on their previous attempt. I’ll just be providing a spreadsheet so that you may have a visualization on how I did the math. Again, big thanks to ESC Clarinet Moon for the formula. Here's the spreadsheet link: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1InkwYkahs2XdBrBSfkfe0Ixts4iYUdKoIkxZRWjCWoA/edit?usp=sharing Cheers!

Interesting how the second attempt more often than not turns more up-beat.

You could also include Helena Paparizou. She firstly participated in 2001, as a part of Antique and then she won in 2005. Edit: ok, I've just read the pinned comment! I got it!😊

This is a very interesting video. Interesting that many of these competed for two different countries. Also funny seeing Peter, Sue and Marc twice. Theyre legends competing 4 times in 4 different languages

The transition in Sebnem Paker, Doris Dragovic, and Tamara Todevska's parts are so good

I love Şebnem Paker’s entries so much. Both are genuinely fantastic songs.

If they're still alive, what's left of Peter, Sue and Marc should be internally selected for Switzerland one year as a tribute!

Poli did the biggest progress tho considering the difference in competition levels. Top 3 are cases long time ago when there were much less participants and songs were not as different from each other as they're now

How many times you want to represent Switzerland? Peter: Yes Sue: Yes Marc: Yes

The amount of control in Mia Martini's voice between her two entries is like night and day

🇨🇾 What a beautiful video! ❤ Thank you! 🙏🏻

Doris Dragovic returned and slayed. Would love her to represent Croatia again

Super video!! Can you make a video for those who did worse?

Anna Vissi was also 9th Place 2006 in Athens

That transition from Trödler und Co. to Io senza te is funny yet epic!

Joyous

Katja Ebstein is missing in this video. - "Wunder gibt es immer wieder", 1970, 3rd place - "Diese Welt", 1971, 3rd place - "Theater", 1980, 2nd place

Nice!

Can you make the same video with artists woh did better in their first attempt?

Cool! 👍 Why is Sunstroke's project "Hey mamma" blurred? 😏

Where’s Linda Martin, Vicky Leandros and Dima Bilan? All winners.

Love the vid...but no Vicky Leandros? apologies ive just seen the above comment 😊

5here needs to be another video as a few were missing

Elisabeth Andreassen was in Bobbysocks! ? That means she was my winner twice, since Norway took the first place in my top in both 1985 and 1996. Tamara Todevska was right for coming back since she was my winner in 2019. Hot Eyes were my winners in 1984. Both Poli Genova's songs were my winners.

I'm surprised to see so many artists representing different countries.

You should do a top 50 🥹🥹🥹

Vicky Leandros Participated in 1967 And he won in 1972 I missed her

Always remember son you are vengeance -hamilcar

I loved Na Inat so much

Linda Martin could have been on the list too

How did Peter, Sue and Marc make the list twice😂

Where is Stella Maesen? She participated with her sisters as Hearts of Soul for the Netherlands in 1970, then for Belgium in Dream Express (for the Flemish television) and then as Stella with Si tu aimes ma musique for Belgium for the French television...

I usually find that the second attempt does worse, but there’s a lot of these!

Is there a part 2 to this??

What about Corry Brokken? NC in 1956 and winning in 1957

Mia❤

How come Peter, Sue & Marc are in it at 1:46 and then again with another 2 songs at 10:06, all for Switzerland ?!

Chiara from Malta could be there too, as she was first number 3 and later 2 :)

Where is Kikki Danielsson from chips with Elisabeth Andreassen 1982. In 1985 she came 3

What about Udo Jurgens of Austria? He competed 3 years in a row and improved each time. 6th in 1964 4th in 1965 1st in 1966

It’s just abit of fun but you’d think a formula would put actual winners in the top ten. Carola for Sweden, Helena Paparizou for Greece and Dima Bilan for Russia - all came back for another attempt and won.

This is good, but where is Dima Bolan, who will 2th place in 2006 and winner in 2008?

What about Linda Martin???? 2nd to Diggy Looo and 1st in 1992????

shouldn't monika lynkite be in here too?

How is no one commenting that Lys Assia won the 1st Eurovision, so that cant be included as she won the first time, and i feel like the two enteys that combined into La Det Swing could have been combined, as in the didnt need two separate spots on the list

Going from 2to 1 like Dima is more iconic. Or 1 to 1 like Loreen

Where is Darja Švajger for Slovenia?

Doris ❤

6:24 best rinoplastic surgery ever

didn't you forget Helena Paparizou?

Hanne Krogh is almost a last to first story

Chiara did better in 2005 (2nd) than she did in 1998 (3rd) when she represented Malta. :)

I don't understand how Karolina is higher than Tamara when Tamara had a much higher jump from a lower place to a higher place

Pending on how you see the score for CRO99 since they country got a 33% deduction due to male voices on backing tape without male on stage I wonder if Doris really did better???

and where is Loreen, she also won twice, one in 2011 and the other in 2023

Where is Joksimovic? Also it's criminal how Run away was 22nd in 2010.

And dima bilan?

Where’s Linda Martin? 1984 2nd 1992 1st

Donny Montell (Lithuania) 14th -> 9th, Monika Lynkte (Lithuania) 18th -> 11th, Marco Mengoni (Italy) 7th ->4th. You could also include Carola, Dima Bilan & Linda Martin who won on their second attempts. Constantinos Christoforou (Cyprus) 9th (solo) -> 6th (as part of One). How did you include Senhit, but not 2 other San Marino artists, Valentina Monetta (14th in SF -> 24th in the final) and Serhat (12th in SF -> 19th in the final). Maybe not as dramatic an improvement, but still they did much better with their subsequent attempts. How you can include Lys Asia, who everyone knows won the first contest, yet exclude these entrants, I don't know.

You absolutely forgot Linda Martin

Akula-Кiслотний DJ(never qualified)

Where is Marion Rung? Tipitii 1962 7 place and Tom Tom Tom 1973 6 place!

Sanja Vucic?

Dima Bilan finished 2nd in 2006 and won in 2008

Dima bilan with Russia Elena paparizou greece

Dima Bilan. Why not?

Wow no Katja Ebstein and no Udo Jürgens who actually did a perfect triple.. 😮

Poli Genova 2nd is the best

Where is AUSTRIA

Sorry but you have not all here. Vicky Leandros 1967 4th and 1972 1st. Carola Häggqvist 1983 3rd 1991 1st. Marion Rung 1962 7th 1973 6th. Fredi 1967 12th 1976 11th. And Lys Assia was 1st 1956..Second time 8th and third time second. So She not be In this list...

For real I expected and Dima Bilan here
