My Personal Winners of Eurovision (1957-1999)
Hey all! So welcome to the second edition of my personal favorite
ESC songs from each year. I put so much time and thought into this process, and some of it was easy from the get-go.
Hope you enjoy!

1957: You can just see the love that the duo have for each other, and this entry reminds me of a timeless romance.
1958: I love how jazzy this song is, and it's probably Domenico's best entry.
1959:
I've been partial to this song since I started being an ESC fan.
1960: I love the melody to this song, and
Jacqueline has an excellent, pretty voice.
1961: The harmonies in this entry are sweet.
1962: Ugggh!!! I've recently grown to love
Italian operatic voices, and I find this song to be amazing!
1963: I had absolutely LOVED this entry since I first heard it. It stands out from all the other entries that year so it was a well-deserved win.
1964:
Beautiful melody and lyrics!
1965: I was originally gonna go with
United Kingdom, but after hearing this entry a few times, I was like "This is out of this world!"
1966: Oh
Raphael!!! He's got such a strong voice, and the way he sings on stage is amazing!
1967: He keeps getting better and better!
One of the best entries
Spain has ever sent!
1968:
Don't get me wrong, I really like Spain's entry. I just like this one a tiny bit more.
1969: I swear
...Italy keeps coming out with great entries. This happens to be one of them.
1970:
Again...I was dead set on having UK as my winner, but after hearing Julio's entry...uggh!!!
Fell in love! The way it is sung is beautiful.
1971: I really like
Monaco's entry, but I think that
Germany packs as much of a punch.
1972: I think this is another one of those entries that deserved to win.
1973:
Oh my god!! This entry is a masterpiece! I originally thought that
Luxembourg or Spain would be my winner. But then I listened to this one...and again, I fell in love! I love how
Massimo sings this song with so much feeling.
1974: I know that a lot of people love
ABBA, but I find their entry that year very overrated. So...this song I picked...I was originally gonna go with Italy because it was beautiful, but there was something about Germany's entry that kinda struck me. The duo sing very well together, and I was drawn into the melody.
1975: This is such a catchy song! The harmonies are excellent, and the guitars are great! It just makes me happy for some reason.
1976: Spain, why oh why do you keep sending such good entries??
1977: Another one of those entries that deserved to win...
1978:
Israel was actually my winner that year until I listened to this one.
1979: This entry is just so different from all the other songs from that year. So complex and smooth...
1980: No offense to
Ireland's entry...it's a good song. It just doesn't compare to this excellent ode to
Amsterdam.
1981: I find the
UK's entry pretty overrated so when I listened to this one, I thought "THIS is my winner!"
1982: Ahhh yes...this song brings back so many memories of camp!
1983: Same with the above song
1984:
Yes, I find
Sweden's entry a very good song. However, I like this entry...just a TINY bit more.
1985: I'm gonna be honest...this is such a STRONG year so I had a very difficult time deciding my absolute favorite.
At the end, I went with my gut and chose this. I don't know why, but this song makes me feel good.
1986:
1987: Probably one of my favorite winners' songs of all-time!
1988: In my opinion, no other entries that year could beat the incomparable
Céline!
1989: I had a tough time deciding between this one and Sweden, but in the end this masterpiece took the cake!
1990: Such a powerful song!
1991: Uggh!!! Beautiful masterpiece! Don't get me wrong, Sweden's entry is very upbeat and happy which I love. I just feel that this entry should have won.
1992: What an amazing song! I love how Mia left everything she had on the stage.
1993: Another song that made me an ESC fan...
1994: Oh my god! This song had brought me to tears a few times before.
It's Evridiki's best entry yet!
1995:
LOVE!!!!
1996: Every time I listen to this angelic song, it makes me cry.
1997: What a masterpiece! I had loved this song since I first heard it. Italy is just THAT good!!
1998: I originally thought that
Croatia would be my winner, but when I first listened to this entry, I fell in love! His voice is amazing!
1999: I feel that there were other entries that deserved to win more than Sweden. This happens to be one of them.
