    Favourite Eurovision songs per country

    I'm opening this thread so that everybody who wants can talk about his/her/their favourite Eurovision songs. The idea of the thread is to dedicate one week to one country. We start next Monday with Albania (alphabetical order).

    The country has participated 12 times since then. This year Albania will compete again in the ESC. The country's best result in the contest was the fifth place reached by Rona Nishliu in 2012.

    Elhaida Dani competed last year with the song: I'm Alive

    Can confirm, is good :grin:

    I think it should be a rule to sing with the language of the participating country. Whilst yes. It might give advantage to English speaking countries, not sure though.

    But I'd like it.

    Relatively quiet 'round here

    We don't bite. Atleast I don't

    Just for you to know, people. It is not possible to post songs in a different language from English because it goes against the monolingual policy. I have done this before, but I won't do it anymore. My apologies. Thank you.

    2. Week 01/11/16 - 01/17/16 - Andorra

    Andorra made its début in 2004. The country has competed 6 times since then. This year Andorra is not taking part in the contest. The country's best position in the ESC was a 12th place in the semi-final in 2007 with Anonymous.

    Susanne Georgi competed in 2009 (the last time for Andorra so far).

    Due to the monolingual policy, I cannot post any song because all of them containt at least one small part in Catalan, the official language of the country. Please, do understand this policy. It would imply a lot of extra work for the Moderators. Thank you. :slight_smile:

    When I heard Andorra my brains were running in place. Had no clue and had to refreshen my memories with some youtube searching.

    2005 & 2007 are my faves.


    Not next week but after that we'll have a quite interesting week. A country with only one entry will be introduced. That's right. Australia.

    First of all, sorry for the delay. I usually post the new country around 12:00 a.m. Let's go with Armenia.

    3. Week 01/18/16 - 01/24/16 - Armenia

    Armenia débuted in the ESC in 2006 with André and the song Without Your Love. The country has participated 9 times since then. Armenia's best positions in the contest are two fourth places in 2008 (with Sirusho) and in 2014 (with Aram Mp3).

    Genealogy represented Armenia last year with the song: Face The Shadow.

    Armenia will compete this year with Iveta Mukuchyan.

    Good thing you already mentioned those two ^ Less work for me :grin:
    Have to say I really enjoyed Aram's performance but the "Face Of The Shadow" is good
    but it gets too "massive at the end for my likings.

    I. However. Have one thing to add here.

    Apricot Stone which was Armenia's song in 2010. The chorus is just too damn catchy :icon_bigg
    The song starts around 0:44 so feel free to skip some.

    For too long I thought she sung about African stone, whatever that would be.
