Revisiting the Rankings: 10

Overrated: Czech Republic 2008
I really do like this song, but it's too much of a mess to put in the top 10 anymore. Even though it's edited down from its original version, it's still too long. It's still the Czech Republic's best song by far in their short time in Eurovision. Maybe a top 15 song.

Underrated: Moldova 2010
The reasons I  liked this in the first place propelled it to massive internet meme status. Among the Moldovan contributions to popular internet music culture, there's only this and Dragostea Din Tei, so I expect it to get sampled by a major pop artist in the next few years.

Trivia: Sakis Rouvas (Greece 2009) and Željko Joksimović (Serbia 2012) both competed in 2004 and did worse (but not by much) on their returns.

Other Songs: Germany 2006, Georgia 2007, Ireland 2011, Iceland 2013
