In late November 2004, a mere five months after Ukraine won the Eurovision Song Contest, Kyiv erupted into protests.

I knew this song was one of the favorites of the year but I never paid it much mind. I thought the opening lyric was so cheesy, I dismissed the song.

I loved this. A slavic rock ballad with a melancholy melody, this song was just my personal jam.

This is a song about a Cuban woman who arrives in the alps to bring a spicy rhythm to the poor polka’d out Austrians.

Sometimes the weirdest and the best songs are interchangeable.

In 1999, Selma represented her country with an up-beat song and nearly won, coming in second place.

I really disliked this song. It just rubs me in all the wrong ways.

In 2005 I would have put all my money on this to win.
