THE BIGGEST CONTROVERSIES

Of the

EUROVISION SONG CONTEST

(1956 - 2019)  

From its inaugural year, the Eurovision Song Contest has had more than its fair share of controversial moments. This is a special look back on 30 significant upsets in chronological order.

2010

Invasión Escénica.

In 2010, many participants of the Eurovision Song Contest were dealing with economic woes arising from the global financial crisis. Oslo was the host city that year following a record-breaking win for Norway in 2009 with “Fairytale”.

The second entry performed during the 2010 Grand Final was the Spanish song “Algo Pequeñito” (Something Tiny), performed by Daniel Diges. His rendition was interrupted by a stage invasion. Diges returned to the stage to perform his song a second time before voting began. He finished in 15^th place out of a field of 25 finalists.

Sadly, this was not the last stage invasion to interrupt a performance. SuRie bravely carried on when a stranger emerged on the stage as she sang the UK entry “Storm” and grabbed her microphone.
