MAYBE (FORSE)

Valentina Monetta

SAN MARINO 2014

OCCIDENTALI'S KARMA

Francesco Gabbani

ITALY 2017

This entry had thought-provoking Italian (with some English) lyrics and a gimmick: a dancing ape on stage during the performance. The song finished in 6th place.

DANCE YOU OFF

Benjamin Ingrosso

SWEDEN 2018

Modern pop and electronic beats powered this Swedish entry. The contemporary song finished in 7th place in the Grand Final.

BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA 2009

Initially represented as part of Yugoslavia, Bosnia-Herzegovina first entered Eurovision in its own right in 1993. It has accomplished a few impressive final results. "Bistra Voda" translates as "Clear water" and is a ballad sung in Bosnian. The song claimed 9th position in the Grand Final held in Moscow.

YASSOU MARIA

Sarbel

GREECE 2007

Fusing laiko with a modern dance pop approach, this Greek floor filler proved popular enough to finish in 7th position in the voting during the Grand Final in Helsinki.
