Revisiting the Rankings: 28

Overrated: Germany 2007
I disliked it in 2007 for its lyrical content and while that's still objectionable now, it's also not pleasant to listen to. In comparison to Italy 2011, with which it shares a genre, it's a lot harsher sounding. Part is from the language but this also has an annoying sing-talky quality that's very showtuney, which barely works for me even in a language I do understand.

Underrated: Norway 2008
Not only did it do a lot better in comparison to the rankings, but this turned out great on stage. Dark and (relatively) classy with smooth vocals and choreography. A lounge song that felt intimate in a ten-thousand seat lounge.

Trivia: Spain appeared twice at 28th place, in 2006 and 2010.
