Revisiting the Rankings: 13

Overrated: Netherlands 2011

I must have just been desperate to put the Netherlands in a good position, as it was their highest position until 2013, when I actually loved their song. It's got a pleasant melody, but the soft rock production doesn't separate it too far ahead of other similar songs.

Underrated: Russia 2007

Back at rank 16 I talked about the new standard for girl groups. This one still meets that standard. An aggressively sexy well-constructed pop song.

Trivia: This is the highest ranking for Albania (2009), Italy (2012), and Poland (2006). Poland definitely deserves this spot, but I think I overrated Albania's song a bit, and I'd put their 2012 higher than this one.
