TYOER in MRSOTY

TYOER is a former MRSOTY participant and has participated 34 times since his debut in 1976.

TYOER began with a series of mixed results and also managed to get disqualified from the competition twice. His return in 1987 proved to be successful, when he won twice in a row during the following two years, but withdrew from the 1989 edition upon learning that winning twice in a row causes the participant to pick their song last during the next year. He eventually returned in 1990 and continued achieving good results, with the 21st century proving especially successful for him, having won in 2004, finishing second in 2003, 2008, 2012 and finishing third in 2006, 2011 and 2013. His final disqualification in 2014 was a controversial one, as it was his third one and prevented his potential win with his selected song. Despite backlash from the contestants and TYOER himself, he was not allowed to participate in the rest of the first MRSOTY cycle.
