What If...
Since 2004 Eurovision had an additional qualifying round, with 2 semi-finals being introduced from 2008. We all love the quirks of Euro voting but we can only wonder at what could have happened had some of our favourites managed to get past the first hurdle.
We'll never know, but they're not forgotten by us!
Failed To Qualify
2008
Andorra - Gisela - "Casanova"
Surely Gisela deserved a chance at the final?
2008
Malta - Morena - "Vodka"
Would have been great to see Morena giving it her best in the final.
2006
Belgium - Kate Ryan - "Je T'Adore"
Would have been a worthy finalist. Could Kate have rocked Lordi's world?
2006
Iceland - Sylvia Night - "Congratulations"
Er, umm, quirky, odd, kinda daft (and was probably never going to win), but I know you're smiling and you won't get that tune out of your head for ages (whether you want to or not)! Utter madness and the reason we love Eurovision!
