I've been looking back at some of the last placers since 2000 and I've realised the public/ jury don't really have the best track record at ensuring the worst song finishes last.
What do you think has been the most undeserving wooden spoon recipient of the 21st Century?

I really liked the studio versions of Lose Control and They Can't Stop the Spring, but the live performances fell flat. Very flat in the latter's case.
It was one of the most horrendous vocal performances i've ever been forced to endure! I do like the song itself, though.
Surprised so many are voting for Finland '09. Whilst the melody wasn't bad, the rapper was atrocious.
Germany 2005 and Norway 2012 are two other very undeserving ones.
Lose Control is a timeless classic!
I thought it was one of the best performances in 2009 because of the chorus and how well the singers (key word, singers) did well with the song. I thought the chorus was fantastic.
But I could have easily voted for Stay or In Love For A While.
For my part, I must say I don't get the love for Switzerland 2011, though I may be lynched here It was such a simple ditty, pleasant in its way but utterly forgettable...
If I had to rank those songs from least deserving to most deserving:
01. Norway 2004 (LEAST)
02. Denmark 2002
03. Finland 2009
04. Malta 2006
05. Norway 2012
06. Ireland 2013
07. Germany 2005
08. Switzerland 2011
09. UK 2008
10. UK 2003
11. Norway 2001
12. Belgium 2000
13. Ireland 2007
14. UK 2010 (MOST)
He didn't deserve last to be fair. Maybe bottom 5 but not dead last.
Also really like I Do but no complaints with the rest of those last placers.
I liked Ireland 2007 as well, but her vocals were terrible. Think all their points came from the trolling Albanian jury.
Quite liked Run and Hide as well.
