Revisiting the Rankings: 30

Overrated: Cyprus 2006
It tugs uncomfortably at the heartstrings in an uninspiring ballad. Latvia 2010 covers the same topic but it has charm and uniqueness.

Underrated: Italy 2011
This is a sweet, charming piece of jazzy pop. It hits a sweet spot of inoffensive pleasantness yet uniqueness and I can see why it did so well in the contest.

Trivia: I've mentioned it before, but Israel 2012 is the only performer I've seen live in a different year from their Eurovision participation.

Other Songs: Hungary 2007, Lithuania 2008, Switzerland 2009, Latvia 2010, Albania 2013
