4th of all Luxembourgian Songs
2nd of all Damien. Songs
Not to be confused with DamienS, Damien. was the founder of DSFE and with this song he bought back former winners of this contest Within Temptation, they nearly did the double but fell just short and finished in 3rd. Their winning entry will be coming up later on in the rundown.
4th of all English Songs
1st of all steeleuro_wolf Songs
The song that bough Paloma to the attention of the masses, this catchy little number did well enough to come home in third place in Torshavn, it also went on to become the music for a Strictly Come Dancing trailer.
2nd of all Moroccan Songs
1st of all Nicky2win87 Songs
It's the second and last entry from Nicky in this list, which like his first also came from the 3rd contest from Moscow. This entry mixes some Arabic sounds with a traditional euro-pop vibe which very nearly earned Morocco a surprise win in DSFE.
Straight back to Torshavn and the runner-up from that contest was Matt Pokora from France, the French had a very long to achieve their first win which they finally did when Matt won the contest in 2013, that song will appear later in the rundown.
It's the bronze medalist from the very first contest next and a forum member who has also been around since day 1, AxG might not have as many top 3's as some others but it just wouldn't be DSFE without him.
4th of all Danish Songs
1st of all Eloise Tardella Songs
It's 90's cheesy pop legends Aqua up next with a distinctly non-cheesy and serious entry, this modern pop song showed a different side to the group and was well received enough to earn the group a bronze medal in the Yerevan contest.
3rd of all English Songs
4th of all thomizzle Songs
X Factor, Popstar to Opera Star and The Jump winner Joe McElderry next, the man is used to winning, so coming 2nd must have been a weird experience for him, but that was the best he could manage in Barcelona, however it's still nothing to be sniffed at.
=10th of all Norwegian Songs
1st of all Alecto Songs
Our first Norwegian song to fall and it is their first winner as well, this song was victorious in the 3rd contest in Moscow, it is the second winning song to leave the contest and is one of many songs by a forum member part of a banning gate situation.
=10th of all Norwegian Songs
1st of all BethnalGreen Songs
Our resident recapper Beth makes her only appearance in the rundown with foul mouthed Maria (thankfully she restrained from swearing in this entry), it is the second Norwegian to leave in this joint position and this entry came from the edition where banning gate took place, it originally came 5th but after the bans it moved up to 3rd (so I'm sure Beth may be secretly happy those bans came about).
3rd of all Luxembourgian Songs
7th of all Alexos Songs
The most consistently performing forum member turns up now with their first entry to fall by the wayside, it's slightly surprising Alexos only has 7 top 3 finishes considering he has won so many times and seems ever present in the final, but that is what it is. This entry came 3rd earlier this year and narrowly lost out in the Luxembourg CofC NF a few days ago on countback.
There was a time when we must have all thought Saturn was going to dominate this contest and potentially take over the world, however like all fazes it didn't last and he is one of many to have come and gone from DSFE, Jenni is a regular in DSFE and this is her highest placing entry.
4th of all Russian Songs
3rd of all Night_driver Songs
It's everyone's favourite shady lady Ani Lorak singing with Russian Girgory Leps, Ani's record here hasn't been quite as imperious as her Eurovision record, but this emotional power ballad duet rocketed her into the top 3 late last year.
This song scored the same points as the runner-up from contest 29 and that song will be revealed next, but first this song. It's a traditional eurovision style power ballad with a video which followed a theme that has been seen many a time in DSFE, that being one of someone being run over by a car.
It's not often you get something really classy in DSFE, but this proved that when it's done well good results will follow. This beat out the German song on countback to take second for Pooley, who achieved the ultimate dream of not only coming 2nd but also winning the contest.
3rd of all Italian Songs
7th of all 21stCenturyBoy Songs
Chiara has become a bit of a regular in this contest in recent times, but like all her Italian counterparts she just hasn't managed to make the leap from bridesmaid to bride. This is her best performing entry, 3rd place in the Trondheim contest.
There aren't many voices bigger than Anastacias' and her comeback song from earlier in the year saw her narrowly miss out on winning the whole contest, whilst the entry is slightly tainted by being sent in by the infamous Euan no-one can deny it's deserving place on this rundown.
2nd of all Wallonian Songs
7th of all penguinperson Songs
Despite being in far less contests Wallonia have actually made 2 top 3's compared to Belgium's single top 3, Trixie as made a few appearances in DSFE over the years and this is her best performing entry, she made a return this year but it was a disappointing return as she made an early exit from the contest.
Until Oonagh came along this was the best Bulgaria had managed in DSFE, this rather bizarre entry was very much of its time and would probably struggle in today's contest, but that doesn't matter as it still takes it's place in this rundown after coming 3rd in Prague in the very second edition of DSFE.
9th of all Norwegian Songs
1st of all MissMidgard Songs
From taking a trip back a few years with our last song, we are only going back a few weeks for this one as we unveil the bronze medalist from the last contest. This was the first top 3 for MissM and also for the folky group of Katzenjammer.
We are back to the original banning gate edition, without the bans this song only managed 4th but moved up to 2nd once the bans had been removed. Rather cruely stanld03 thought he has taken his debut win when he was declared as the winner once the votes had been tallied however a set of votes had been missed out and not counted and those votes ripped victory from his grasps, he is still yet to savour the sweet taste of victory, so here's hoping 2015 will finally be his year.
8th of all Norwegian Songs
6th of all Pooley Songs
Marit makes her second appearance today and surprisingly beats her winning song with this song which came 3rd, it's another quirky guitar pop song a genre which has always done well in DSFE.
The only Belarussian entry on this list, this quirky little number gave Belarus an all too rare high finish in the contest, the band went on to appear again later in the year where they once again made the final.
=147. Germany - Anastacia, Stupid Little Things (DSFE52: Tirana, 2nd, EuanDesu) 30.90%
3rd of all German Songs
1st of all EuanDesu Songs
There aren't many voices bigger than Anastacias' and her comeback song from earlier in the year saw her narrowly miss out on winning the whole contest, whilst the entry is slightly tainted by being sent in by the infamous Euan no-one can deny it's deserving place on this rundown.
dont think its deserved at all, completely appaling entry (and judged as such in cofc thank god)
Until Oonagh came along this was the best Bulgaria had managed in DSFE, this rather bizarre entry was very much of its time and would probably struggle in today's contest, but that doesn't matter as it still takes it's place in this rundown after coming 3rd in Prague in the very second edition of DSFE.
never heard this before but i actually really like it. different for sure though.
Aw sad to see the demise of Trixie Whitley, the second Marit Larsen song, Kadebostany & 'Intouchable'.
I forgot it was Stan who was originally declared winner before it changed. I would be really sad if that happened to me ... Although with Avb being made the winner I went on to get my second 4th in a row and back in the day good results were few and far between.
We start today with the winner of the first contest of 2014, Estonia have a rather poor record in DSFE with this being their one and only top 3 finish in their history. They may have hoped this would have been a springboard to something better this year however it wasn't to be as Estonia slipped back into average results with just the odd final appearance here and there.
It's DSFE regular Shy'm now with her best placing song all the way back in contest number 4. This leaves France with just one song remaining in the contest and with 138 songs left to be revealed they will be hoping it doesn't appear too soon. The video also features Eurovision and DSFE winner Conchita
3rd of all Israeli Songs
9th of all MiesBouwman Songs
Everyone's favourite big-voiced Israeli now with her most successful DSFE entry, this is Mies first entry to leave the contest but he won't be too sad as he has another 8 more still to be revealed. At the time this was Israel's best result, although seeing Lebanon take the victory in this contest must have been a bitter pill for Israel to taste.
