No, Benedicte Adrian wins that hands down.
And he was married to Anita Skorgan, who's got to be the most beautiful creature ever produced by Norway! What a beautiful woman 
Jahn Teigen is so ugly...
Despite haveing two of the worst ever outsifts at ESC, Sally Anne Triplett still looks gorgeous!
I like Lydia's rainbow dress, for me one best memorable one
*the live perfomance was " 
".
I like I Admit, but the live performance...
Andorra 2006 and Finland 1994, the lingerie look. 
I remember Dora From 1986...with Green skirt and Doc Martin Boots...those were the days 
Some of these are truly scary. They distract people from an already flimsy song (there are exceptions). I must say that Norway 78 (congrats, Norway. You've just beaten Portugal) is an interesting song that was ruined by its ludicrous live rendition. As for Spain 99, I truly like the song even if it is almost impossible to ignore that hypnotic piece of fabric.
P.S.: allow me to say that the Belgian ladies in 99 have made excellent choices. They showed everybody else how a good dress can enhance a song.
That's quite sad to hear. She's obviously an attractive and talented singer.
Lydia's career was quite decent until that moment. After that fiasco (she decided the wearing) she never recovered and disappeared completely from the music scene.
It's Ágata Ruiz de la Prada, not Augusta or whatever you wrote lol
Haha yes, w s, same goes for the rest of your hate-songs, with exception of MeKaDo which I like, though I'm not exactly proud to admit it.
Something similar to Sanda Ladosi in terms of destroying a good song and looking like a falling porn star is Mando Greece 2003.
@ ws
well your opinion..compared to drug queens (the well known one..) and barbarians(winning the same year) that was at least authentic for me..not some gimmick stuff
One of that for Malta and it could get them back to success definately.It's not only Chiara and Mary Spitteri..Ira Losco and Julie and Ludwig are alternative roads which worked for Malta as well..
They were Barbie and Ken. But void of any character. And I hate how Ludwig danced. And the fake opera part. And the fake laughing. The quintessential Maltese Disney kitsch song.
how can someone hate Julie and Ludwig ?
they were sooo good..characteristic, funny (in a good way) at times..one of the most underrated 2004 entries...better that the winning, 3rd placed, 4th placed, 8th placed, 10th placed and 11th placed songs definately..Hoping for something as fresh as this from Malta ! (to change a bit from the ballad style..)
Thanx Lost and Forgotten. It is always a pleasure to find someone who also dislikes Linda Williams, Put, Sonia, Fame and Julie and Ludwig. And I also really dislike the other songs you hate.
Umh... I don't see any pictures on this article. Must be something wrong.
LOL All are horrific! 
Especially Lidia from Spain and Sanda Ladosi from Romania! They really deserved Barbara Dex Award!
UK 1980 I suppose they thought it will be tennis match that's why they appeared like that on the stage!
Jahn Teigen is epic. His suspenders and glasses, as well as dancing routine. But that's all that's epic about him. His song was great in the studio version.
@ w s
By the way w s, I visited your profile and you've got awesome taste! Especially in the songs you hate part 
UK 80 is sweeter then the sweetest sugar. Horrible song, terribly overrated that year.
And Austria 1983 is one of the most over the top performances ever. And yellow was a popular color that year. The pink winning song really stood out.
oops..wrong topic on the last one 
On topic :
Lydia : Another case of the stage appearance destroying the whole presentation..the song is not that bad but the rainbow dress..
Renato : reminds me of sea waves lol ! and something from Salome (spain 1969..)
Westend : Happy colours...uh..that's all..it speaks by itself anyway..
Sanda Ladosi : The first porn-like appearence in esc and the 2nd worst and most vulgar (after ukraine 2009..)..just hideous..
Jahn Teigen : Totally agree with the comment on the glasses marcus made..although I d go for Anne Karine Strom's glasses..they are more funky !
Prima Donna : oh it was not THAT bad..the song is good and the colors are..vibrant..it's just the early 80s kitsch taste..!
And some corrections :
Israel 2009 - 16TH PLACE
Germany 2009 - 20TH PLACE
Thank you !
I think Sertab Erener should be included in this list as her dress with the long strings was in my opinion phenomenal and even inspired other future participants to adopt the same gimmick such as Sarbel.
Great list!
Lydia's dress = The horror! I'm NO fashion guru, but damn... why did she wear that?
