Eurovision: Most Underestimated Entries of the 2010s Pre-Contest

One of my favourite things when I'm watching Eurovision is when an entry that I previously thought pretty much nothing of is fully brought to life on stage and forces me to love it! For me the one entry that fully embodies this is Aminata from 2015, representing Latvia. I was hence thinking about the entries that people generally underestimated prior to a contest that ended up surprising everyone by BRINGING IT? To answer my question I had a look through the OGAE polls between 2010 and 2019 which are a fairly good, although admittedly not perfect, representation of who the fan favourites were before the contest. I also looked through the betting odds rankings at least one month before each competition to see how much faith the bookies had in each entry. I wanted to include only the entries that were really underestimated by both, so I only included entries where the final place was over 5 places higher than both the OGAE poll rank and the bookies rank. This meant that I excluded entries like Zoë from Austria in 2017 which was seriously underestimated by the bookies but actually did okay-ish in the fan voting. I then gathered the 50 most criminally underrated entries before the contests and ranked them from least to most underrated. The result is this video which may also be known as "how to stage an entry to blow everyone away" or "9 minutes of Lithuania, Moldova and Georgia being underrated". I hope you enjoy the video!
