Hello and welcome to my series of videos entitled “Eurovision Through Time” or ETT in short. This is just one of 45 videos in the series which will cover almost all participating countries (past and present) and all of their entries. The playlist of all episodes can be found here: [ Ссылка ]

We will start with reacting to all Turkish entries since Turkey joined the contest. Once we reach the year 2000, I will start ranking the most recent songs, so we can compare and see how many we have in common.
Ranking all songs is kind of useless because comparing something from 1962 and 2022 makes little sense, right?

The explanation behind the color coding:

Gold – songs that are absolutely God-tier and those that I love unconditionally. Most of the time, they carry a very important and personal message and that is why I overlook any issues around them. We can say I am subjective and biased towards them and I feel no guilt because of that.

Dark Green – amazing songs that are more or less close to perfect or well-balanced/executed on stage. I have almost no objection to them and I listen to them regularly.

Light Green – good songs that I still feel positive about but I have minor criticism regarding some of their elements (vocals, lyrics, staging, performance, etc…). I still listen to them from time to time and enjoy them.

Dark Blue – songs that I find okay but I have moderate criticism of some of their elements. I don’t skip them if they come up in the playlist but I don’t play them out of the blue.

Light Blue – songs about which I don’t have a strong opinion, mostly indifferent. They are fine but they are either not my genre/style or they just don’t do anything for me. I have a major criticism of some of their elements.

Yellow – songs that I don’t like and I have major criticisms towards them. I rarely listen to them and don’t find them too good overall.

Cream – songs I don’t like at all and I hardly ever listen to them and even if I bump into them, I am likely to skip them.

Dark Red – the abyss… put simply, I don’t want to listen to them ever again.

What is your opinion on Turkish entries? Who are your favorites? Drop your comments on my rankings below and let’s compare our (dis)agreements because I’m sure we have some.
