The Good, The Bad and The Hilarious
2019: The Weird
When weird, inappropriate and genius meet on stage, you know it’s going to make some heads turn. Bondage doesn’t often make itself onto the Eurovision stage, but controversial group Hatari did not care about convention…
2018: The Weird
Oh, Belarus. You make some interesting choices. You love to make us question what we're seeing and that's ok. Maybe?
2017: The Weird
Strange but cool song, strange but cool performance. Strange men wearing horse heads. Ladies and Gentlemen, we have the weirdest entry of 2018!
2016: The Weird
The performance for this song is bonkers and it's all based on this crazy idea that the Belarusian broadcaster had stuck in their mind.
2015: The Weird
This young singer from Belgium co-wrote this bizarre synthpop track that took Europe by surprise.
2014: The Weird
What can I say about "We Are Slavic," often just called "Slavic Girls," that can't be said by just watching their risqué performance.
2013: The Weird
When two cosmonauts, as Eastern Europe calls them, entered stage in a glare of green light rapping in Montenegrin - the Eurovision weird factor went up ten notches.
2012: The Weird
The weird and hilarious this year were a complete toss up. They both qualify as funny but I decided eventually that "Shake Your Booty" was the weirder of the two.
2011: The Weird
So weird, so insanely good. "So Lucky" made the best use of the German stage technology to transform their three minutes into something unseen on the Eurovision stage.
2010: The Weird
The performance that brought the world the "Epic Sax Guy," this entry from Moldova was all sorts of weird.
2009: The Weird
Another one of those so weird it's amazing songs. Gypsy.cz is a Romani hip hop group and performed mostly in English with phrasing in Romano.
2008 - The Weird
This is another one of those so weird it's good entries. Bosnia and Herzegovina sent acclaimed Bosnian alt-rock singer Laka.
2007: The Weird
Where do I start with this? The controversy around Verka was huge. A drag act representing the largely homophobic Slavic culture caused an uproar from it’s native country.
2006: The Weird
Not since 2003 had a contestant caused such a stir during the lead up to the concert in Athens.
