win eurovision 2017 favourite collage

It’s been one month since the stars shined and the confetti fell at Eurovision 2017. The team at wiwibloggs can’t get Salvador Sobral’s “Amar pelos dois” out of our heads. Unless we put on Kristian Kostov’s “Beautiful Mess”, Sunstroke Project’s “Hey Mamma” or Blanche’s “City Lights”. But our playlists don’t stop with the Top 4. We’re still loving Koit & Laura’s “Verona”, Naviband’s “Story of My Life”, Norma John’s “Blackbird” and more…

That we would compulsively listen to songs that failed to crack the Top 10 (or even make the final) isn’t surprising. Eurovision acts frequently fall flat on the big night because of bad staging or dodgy vocals, while digitally re-mastered versions of those same songs go on to prove timeless. Remember Britain’s Gina G. from the 1996 contest? Her dance number “Ooo Ah….Just A Little Bit” only placed 8th, but it’s now a staple on dance floors from Miami to Madrid.

In 2016 Poland’s Michal Szpak topped our poll with “Color of Your Life”

Now it’s time for you to let us know which songs you are still listening to. So load your iTunes, see which tracks you’ve played the most, and then vote in our poll. You can vote for as many songs as you’d like, but you can only vote one time: be sure to click the box next to each song before pressing submit. In order to discourage fans from manipulating the results, you will not be able to see the full results after voting. Sorry ’bout it. But we will publish updates from time-to-time. The poll will close on July 14.

Note: We have decided to include Russia’s planned entry “Flame Is Burning”. Despite Russia’s forced withdrawal from the contest, the song is on the official Eurovision album, so we thought it right to include it here as well.

Rather than stressing out over the results, why not review our past winners? Poland’s Michal Szpak won with “Color of Your Life” last year, while Sweden’s Måns Zelmerlöw won with “Heroes” in 2015, Israel’s Mei Finegold won with “Same Heart” in 2014, Romania’s Cezar won with “It’s My Life” in 2013, Ireland’s Jedward won with “Waterline” in 2012, Sweden’s Eric Saade won with “Popular” in 2011, and Turkey’s maNga won with “We Could Be the Same” in 2010.

I totally agree-Francesco has some great songs and has a huge new audience as a result of Eurovision. It’s amazing how his music appeals to both children and adults at different levels. He’s also very easy on the eye! Love from Ireland.

Verona is the only one. Laura was just recently in Verona and didn`t get lost. 🙂 Laura and Koit will start a tour in July and some lucky fans can go to their accoustic concert.

Of course I listen ”Occidentali’s Karma” from Francesco Gabbani and Italy! And some times not only once a day! Some days I listen it twice and three times a day! And also I listen all songs from his new album ”Magellano” and some songs from his previous albums! He is a very big talent and he has awesome songs!
The winner Portugal in 7th place? This proves for another year that winning song does not definitely make the biggest career after Eurovision.

“We are lost in Veronaaaaa…” as soon as I hear these words I know the song will get stuck in my head for the rest of the day! Then, I get to work and I listen to Francesco Gabbani for the most part, not just Occidentali’s Karma but also his other hits like “Amen” and more recently “tra la granite et le granate”.

The fact that speaks about the quality of the songs despite them not winning the contest is duration. For example, from non-winning entries from 2016, I’ve heard If I Were Sorry, Loin D’Ici and No Degree of Separation playing on Croatian radio in the last few months.

Mostly Italy which is the best Eurovision song ever, but also Belgium, Finland, Estonia, Moldova, Belarus (didn’t particularly like it before the contest, but now I love it), Azerbaijan (the same as Belarus), Romania and others as well but less often.

Oh you “complain me”?… Before insulting me, you should learn how to write in English. I think the pathetic one is you. I happen to dislike Alma’s song. So what? Other people dislike other songs that I like. You don’t see me insulting people because of that. Or do you like all the song? You pathetic little fool.

I remember Riga preparty in March 2017, with 5 acts – Latvia, Poland, Belarus, Norway, Czech Republic. It was said that none of them has any chance to qualify in the final, but look, 3/5 were in the final. I listen each day something else, sometimes I wake up with one of the songs in my head. This is a bad case of PED, we need Asiavision, that can be the cure ”hair of the dog”.

Periodically France, Portugal (live with Luisa), Hungary, lesser Australia. Yet there were few shots of Norway, Iceland, Belgium, etc. Checking in for upcoming from Luisa, Dihaj band, finns, norwegians (they promised collaborate once more), maybe even Joci, and popcicles Nathan and Robin – depends on which stride will they keep on going.

The right question is: which *artists* are people listening to? I have the feeling many have moved on from the Eurovision songs to other songs by them.

I still listen to Amar Pelos Dois, Origo, Occidentali’s Karma every once in a while, and Line. However I’m mostly listening to other Salvador and Luísa songs, and Francesco’s too.

‘Lights and Shadows’
Yodel it – still works for me
Macedonia and Hungary have really grown on me lately.
Flame is Burning. Yes it’s old school, but such an endearing melody.
Tell me baby, where we draw the line? (Lol) Triana Park.

Sílvia Alberto and Pedro Granger for sure!! They actually love Eurovision and they both have already been somehow envolved in the show. I loved when they were our commentors (just like Graham Norton, for example): they gave us all the information with attitude, but without stupid comments and keeping it clean and simple.
For the greenroom Filomena or Catarina would do a great job

To my surprise, it’s Mamma Mamma. I think it’s because it clicked so wonderfully on the night and it’s the one stage show I really enjoyed this year. The more I see it the more I still like it, which is very rare this far on from the contest. On the other hand, I haven’t wanted to hear Sobral at all. I guess I’ll have to cum Lisbon 2018.
