Eurovision Advent Calendar – 07 days until Christmas – Day 17 of our challenge – Granted, this is not your traditional Advent Calendar, but it will fulfil it’s purpose: Giving us something to discuss until Christmas Eve (and until the real beginning of the national final season in January). The idea is old and simple: Every day you have to find a Eurovision song according to a certain category. It’s a challenge for me and for you, our readers! We continue today with this question: Tell us a song you really liked at first, but you can’t stand anymore?
Please tell us your personal “favourite” in the comment section below! If your choice is quite exotic a YouTube link to the song will certainly be appreciated by other readers 
Here we go:
This is smoking gun for how much I am sometimes influenced by the “popular opinion”. When France revealed their entry this year I thought “Wow classical and in Corsican” that must be good and it must be something I like… And for some weeks I actually help up this flase impression. Now I can’t stand that slimy voice, pretentious “classical” song and horrible hairstyle ^^. Here is an entry I liked at first but can’t stand anymore!
Amaury Vassili – Sognu (2011)
Looking forward to your choices and comments!

I like posted entry very much!
About topic..hmm i dunno..there isn’t any, I dislike “Popular’ now, but I don’t hate it, far from that..and I have never adored it..so I dunno really…till now all categories were great, but this one is really stupid..sorry Manuel, no offense..don’t get me wrong please..
Doesn’t apply to me. I have songs that have grown on me, but never the opposite. There are some that I don’t listen to as much, not because I don’t like them anymore but because my music collection has grown so much that I’m now listening to the newer songs. I’ll wait for the next category, but I wonder what’s next
I agree with you, I think the same, you have just expressed it in more sophisticated way, and I did it in my special way! xD
Two people voicing the same opinion in very different ways… One could learn from the other…
Why should I, it’s nice to have different ppl, maybe you dislike me, maybe Luis dislike me, maybe EVERYBODY here dislike me, but so what I can find persons in a real life who like me the way i am! So you here accept me or ban me.. I won’t change myself..I will stop swearing, I have already told you, but I won’t change the way I react on topics.. and I don’t react very aggressive always…you create fuss about it..in 90% articles I react totally normally and nice and everybody can see that, even nicer than some other users..
Good night!
i did like moldova in this years contest at first but after a while it just got annoying lol
Norway 2006.
I was thinking: “Oh, what a pretty song in their national language.” Then, I listened to it a few more times, and I realized that it was actually a fairly boring song made interesting by the national language. It quickly fell off my radar.
Also, I agree with you on France 2011. Although, for me, I think that it was mostly the live performance in general that did it for me.
I never understood all the hype around inflated and pompous ‘Sognu’ and felt pretty odd and lonely on most fan sites whenever I voiced my opinion. The best thing about France 2011 still is the red convertible in the video clip imo.
I remember when this was the case. xD
Back in my lurker days.
I used to like Celebrate-Daria (Croatia) but now I can’t deal with it, Its SOO anoying
I used to like La noche es para mi-Soraya (Spain) but now i hate it
Greetings from Mexico
at the end of the 80ies i couldn’t stop listening to and singing “ich singe nur ein lied heut nacht” (austria 89). today i find it embarassing and sloppy …
I don’t know, most songs grew on me. But perhaps it would be Sweden 2006, I remember I quite liked it at first, and now I think it’s just an ok song, nothing special. I guess I’m just a positive person who falls in love with songs rather than begins to dislike them.
That’s really difficult because songs normally grow on me too but I found one: Poland 2007. First I sort of liked it but since then I have realised that it is one of the most amateurish acts that ever went onto an ESC stage.
I only liked the chorus of that song
2009 – Alexander Rybak, 2010 Lena and Safura 2011 Amaury
I have to add this one 2010 Kristina “Horehronie” studio version!
Estonia 2011 for me. Nor mally I am not sure about songs at first and then they grow on me, this is about the only one in reverse.
Malta 2006, was nice at first, but then it was getting on my nerves and the performance was aweful
There are very few songs that i liked at first and now i don’t. More often happens that i don’t like a song at first and then i start liking it.
But the best example for me is UK 2003. At first i thought it was a nice song, but after i heard the horrible live performance i couldn’t stand it anymore. Another one is Bulgaria 2008.
Se Piangi, Se Ridi (Italy 1965). Just that, and it’s because it reminds me of a traumatic event.
Hmm Spain 2007 most likely
It’s not often a song sink drastically on my list, more often the opposite happens, but I think Turkey 2011 was one of the sinkers. It sounded OK to start with, but every time I listened to it it sounded more and more crappy. What made it happen were the stupid lyrics and the “electronic” sounds.
Sweden 2008. I was actually supporting Charlotte on MF 2008, and now I can’t stand it! Annoying schlager song…
Sweden 2011
It just get’s on my nerves…
mine too
