EUROVISION SEMI FINALISTS
2004-2010
Why, oh why?
I n
2010,
we passed the 100 mark of songs which failed to make the Eurovision final, so SECHUK
asked the question - which is the best song not to qualify for a
Eurovision Final since the semi finals were introduced in 2004?
107 performances failed to wow the judges
between 2004 and 2010 and most of us have sat in
amazement as some of our favourite songs have fallen at the last hurdle, missing
a chance at ESC glory.
Voters from 30 countries have submitted their
opinions and scores and we can now reveal the results.
Below you will find the song from each year
which the international voters decided should have made the final that year,
together with the positions for all the failed semi finalists in each year.
Finally, you will see the full list of songs in overall position order.
Firstly, to answer the question
