Here's a recap of all the songs that competed for Turkey in Eurovision Song Contest from 1975 to 2012, now with some better footage. Reupload. Please, enjoy!
Turkey has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 34 times since its debut in 1975. Since the introduction of the semi-finals in 2004, Turkey has only failed to qualify for the final once, in 2011. Turkey won the contest once in 2003, and hosted the 2004 contest in Istanbul.
Turkey finished last on its debut at the contest in 1975, and went on to finish last with nul points in 1983 and 1987. They reached the top ten for the first time in 1986. Şebnem Paker achieved the country's first top five result in 1997, finishing third with the song "Dinle". The country went on to achieve five more top five placements after the introduction of the free language rule and televoting, with Sertab Erener giving Turkey its first victory in 2003 with the song "Everyway That I Can". Turkey's other top five results are Athena (2004), Kenan Doğulu (2007), Hadise (2009), who all finished fourth, and Manga (2010), who finished second.
The Turkish broadcaster TRT announced in December 2012 that it would not participate in the 2013 contest, citing dissatisfaction with the rules of the competition. 2013 was the first time since 1973 that there was no television broadcast of the Eurovision Song Contest on TRT. The country has not returned to the contest since.

See a pattern? Whenever they chose to sing in English instead of Turkish they would get higher rankings. So many of these songs honestly deserved higher rankings especially Deli by Mor ve Ötesi
Dinle -> 3rd place
@@ozi9888 Yeah but you can't deny that some of these ranking are sketchy especially Dinle cuz it deserved to be higher at least in my opinion
Artik kendi diliyle katilan ulkelerin sarkilari beğeniliyor. İtalya kendi diliyle birinci oldu
I can see that. I doubt Everyway That I Can would've been able to win if it was sung in Turkish. A strong part of its victory was that it presented a song inspired by traditionally Turkish melodies in a manner that appeals to Western audiences, including an elaborate performance and lyrics that they can understand. I feel like its the same reason 2007 and 2009 placed higher than the other songs. That said, the Turkish language is beautiful and I have no problem listening to it.
If you are going to say a national and emotional song, it would be more logical to sing it in your own language, but if you are going to say a happy or joyful song, it would be more logical to write it in English and Turkey is a cheerful song, they said it in Turkish, that's why it got a low score, it is the fault of this, it would be better if you search for "TRT", who forced the song to be sung and forced to sing it. I don't have much knowledge.
Love these people of turkey 🇹🇷. Many greetings from Greece 🇬🇷

Still can not believe you didnt win in 2010. I remember that song it was so great and modern. It could win even in 2024
Right? I am listening to it very often, no matter what they say!!!!
Could not be more true
Maalesef jüri oyunun yüzünden kazanamadık. Sadece seyirci oyu dikkate alınsaydı açık ara kazanabilirdi.
yeah we were so unlucky. germany which was always last place did win it XDXD but lena and her song was really good too. 2010 was one of best esc ever.

Özkan Uğur, the bassist of the band MFÖ, who represented us in Eurovision in 1985 and 1988, passed away on 8 July. Rest in peace. He was our legend. 🥺🫶🏻
RIP 😭
Rest in peace
RIP 😢
RIP😭
Oh, my God. Really bad news. May he rest in peace.
It's fucked up that only when they started singing in english, they started getting good results
To be fair, they got 3rd place in 1997. However, you're correct in that their higher placements only resulted from singing in English. Only *ONE* winning song in the 2000s was sung entirely native language in 2007, while Wild Dances in 2004 won with a partial segment in Ukrainian. It's kind of sad how most winners in the 2000s were sung in English.
Yes as a Turkish Person I agrre with you
Definitely
not really, the songs in English were better to be honest as well as they did a great performance
Norway is also punished for using native language
MaNga is my all time favorite runner-up. Hopefully Turkey will come back😢❤
we wont be coming back for a while unfortunately 😔
The salt is real 😢
we cant come back in 5 years because the worst goverment
Türkiye has not participated in Eurovision for a long time due to unfair voting. If Eurovision holds a truly fair election, Türkiye will participate in Eurovision again with the approval of its government 🇹🇷
You wont give us points so?
Fun fact : The song Deli by the band Mor ve Ötesi is a criticism of Europe.

I couldn't agree more. It was my winner.

Absolutely
semiha yankının şarkısı nasıl sonuncu olmuş be... neredeyse 50 yıl geçmiş ama hala dinliyoruz, hala söylüyoruz, hala seviyoruz

Best performance from Turkey; 3-Dinle/ Şebnem Paker 2-Everyway that i can/ Sertab Erener 1-Deli-Mor ve Ötesi ❤❤❤❤
You should listen more mor ve ötesi they have great songs
maNga were the best

I hope they would comeback someday because I love turkey in Eurovision!!!
Çok sağol
Thanks!!!❤❤❤
It's normal to think that Dinle sounds good to your ears. Because Dinle was written together with linguists and the words were carefully chosen to sound good to foreigners' ears.
The way they flopped so hard in the 19s but then became one of the best countries in esc is crazy
Sertab's winning determined their further direction😼
We are(turkish) crazy
It's kajna krejza
They started to sing in English.
I guess it was mainly due to televoting
1997 is a real gem! Bravo Türkiye!

Şebnem Paker'in burnunu yaptırması 2.kere katılma kararından sonraki en iyi karar olmuş 😅

2010da hakkımız yenene kadar güzeldi
We miss Turkey in Eurovision, so allow me to rank them: 1. 2003 2. 2010 3. 2009 4. 1997 5. 1985 - melody is just so catchy
The melody of 1985 is so catchy that it starts with the ringtone of most schools in Turkey.
im really so happy to see someone who likes didai didai dai.that song was our break bell at school,how a lovely song.
thanks dear, 💙 love from Turkiye
2012 de çok güzel sonuna kadar dinlemeni öneririm. Benim için en iyilerden birisidir kesinlikle. 💙💙
Seninle Bir Dakika was a lovely song its a shame it got 19th spot :(
Yeah
Totally agree!
Her şey bir kenara ama Mor ve Ötesi ile Manganın kazanamamasına hala üzülüyorum.
1997 топовое выступление. Даже сейчас звучит круто
Солидарен с вами
Если бы в где-то в период с 86 по 91 год Сезен Аксу представляла страну со своими песнями то ещё эти песни бы звучали круто. Достаточно вспомнить Шинанай подслушанное Алибасовым и каверы от киркорова вот мы какие например.
Однозначно! У меня теперь это одна из самых любимых песен с Евровидения❤️
This is Real Anatolian infuluence.
Turkey was originally relegated from 2003 until EBU reduced the number of relegated countries. Turkey would have missed their first win.
Turkey was really lucky. The EBU should have gotten rid of that stupid rule sooner anyway.
What do you mean by “relegated”?
@sexfactor7681 There was a relegation system between 1994 & 2003 (excluding 1993 & 1996). Countries with the lowest average amount of points over the previous 5 contests are relegated from the next. Turkey didn't do that well between 1998 & 2002 & was originally supposed to be relegated from 2003.
@@gg454lune Yes they are. Tatu must win.
@@PAINNN666 your other comments shows that you are Russian so we can guess your reason ! T.A.T.U was very famous group then thats why they became 3rd with that horrible song ! If that was another Russian singer would be last for sure ! Plus Turkey's song became 14th in UK music charts 🇬🇧 and 1st in Sweden and Greece ! This shows We deserved very well 🥰❤️ hope you Russians will accept facts one day
So if Turkey had won in 2010, it would have been in every grand final, just like Ukraine.
Agree but 2011 had no reason doing in finals anyway

When they applied turkish musical traditions, they came up with a musical masterpiece: dinle..
my favourites are 1989, 1997 and 2011. Turkey is needed in esc to bring more diversity :)
Süper Türkiye
1997 is one of my faves, with Portugal and Ireland!
why nobody is talking about 2008 i think its one of the best performances
We talking bt everyday bro they deserve to win
guys you should listen their songs named cambaz, bir derdim var, sevda cicegi too. lucky to listen first time.. amazing band
thats our best entry imo
cuz it was criticising europe in that song, they get mad tbh
Ne de güzel parçalarla katılmışız hep.
Emin misin 80ler facia bence
Sertap Erener'in kalitesi tartışılmaz; birinciliği de çok çok değerli. Beni üzen ilk dörde giren tüm şarkılar yabancı dilde. Müzikaliteden çok siyasi işlerin döndüğü tırt bir yarışma.
o cok bariz bi gercek ve bunu tum dunya biliyor ama bu yarısmadan cekilmemize sebep olmamalıydı. bizim cekilmemiz de sadece bu sebepten degil :)) bir zevkimiz vardı o da elimizden alındı. avrupadan uzaklasmak, araplasmak icin her sey yapılıyor ve bunu oyle bir yapıyorlar ki.. sonumuza ornekler var

Şebnem Parker looks so different from 1996 to 1997. I knew they were both the same name but only now I hear her voice next to each song I realised its the same Şebnem.

Real
we could be the same is still my favourite song from eurovision ❤️ (love hadise as well!!)
My top from TURKIYE : 10.Can Bonomo-Love me back 9.Ajda Pekkan-Petrol 8.Semiha Yanki-Seninle bir dakika 7.Mor ve otesi-Deli 6.Kenan Dogulu-Shake it up sekerim 5.Sebnem Paker-Dinle 4.Athena-For real 3.Hadise-Dum tek tek 2.Manga-We could be the same 1.Sertab Erener-Every That I can
Greek cover of Petrol is also nice. (Both are my drinking🍺 at the beach songs)

Turkey was my winner twice, in 2008 and 2010 (tied with Germany, Romania, Belgium and Israel).
Lindas as músicas turcas e uma mais bela do que a outra. Canções que tocam o coração. Vozes incríveis e maravilhosas.
Türkiye! Since Luxembourg is coming back next year, please return as well! 🙏🇹🇷 (Btw, I heard that there is a chance that Monaco and Andorra will return next year!)
Hard
The fun part: Luxembourg song now sounds very Turkish
2010 manga my favorite❤
we should definitely decide to attend the contest again, we have so many hidden talents who can serve much better with the mix of the eastern and western sounds now. We better go for it as we are more qualified now

Turkey always had some of the best musics. Deserved to win several times. It’s funny to see this videos and realise I still remember some musics from the late 80s and 90s and I was a very young child from Portugal.
1987 robbed! ❤️ First 22nd place ever and I love it.
Agree
Agree. I gave this song 7 points and it's one of the best of that edition. A powerful song.
Especially one of them was very famous star in Türkiye. She had a great presence whenever she sings.
1990 amazing should have been top 5!! ❤ Kayahan
They were one of the bests😢 🇹🇷
I personally think they deserved a top 3 finish in 2000. I also love their 2002 entry, not the English parts though, the song should've been sung fully in Turkish. The 2000s was definitely their best era. No bad songs and almost all performances were great. In 2013 we lost a major powerhouse 😢
Its too good to read others comments about my own countrys music, I'm feeling so proud 😭

As a Turk, we had to continue singing our songs in our own language even if we were behind in the competition rankings. I think every nation should sing it in their own language. This is not just a singing competition, but also a program for a country to promote and show itself.
