[@timobeugelink2527]

@@JustBolletje well the first half final was

[@balesplace]

2021 was so chaotic, wonderful, hilarious, brilliant- from everything that I want in a ballad with Tout L’Univers and Voila to screaming along with/to Go_A & Dark Side and the absolute iconic chaos that was Tix, Last Dance, I Don’t Feel Hate, and El Diablo - last year really had it all. Dadi & the roop were fabulous - just the right amount of weird - while Måneskin won a much deserved win (despite Begging being waaay overplayed). I can appreciate everything from Growing Up is Getting Old to Mata Hari and even the UK’s entry was chaotically great. Each song was memorable, with loads of personality - even if I wouldn’t unironically love all of them, it’s hard to find an ‘eh’. It may be that I just haven’t gotten used to this year’s songs yet, but I feel it’s really lacking here.

[@carlijnbraakhuis2538]

Also The Netherlands did a better production and stagemanaging and ofcourse the queen Nikki

[@Merian8]

I have the exact same opinion! I felt most songs this year were weak compared to 2021, it was such an amazing year! It's super rare when I basically like every song that went to the final, and in 2021 I liked them all!

Hey Embers wasn’t actually that bad. Yes it got double 0, but I thought it was undeserved.

[@zebrastripedyt6050]

that along with Serbia and Norway are objectively wrong decisions

[@sdrawkcabemdaer5]

2021 feels legendary, maybe because we missed 2020 or because the top songs were so strong. But looking at the number of songs I added to my playlist last year vs this year...I have almost twice as many 2022 songs added (actually about half the total songs for this year!) I think the weaker songs last year were really weak, whereas there are a lot of songs this year that might end up towards the bottom of the rankings but they're still really enjoyable 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@ravinmarokef]

EBU sent an email to all the countries with the new votes after the countries sent their votes a night before, but 6 countries didn't want to dance how EBU was singing to them and refused to go with EBU's votes, but with their real votes, which resulted fake technical issues from EBU and not letting the representants of two countries go live and say the real votes. About the public votes, idk, in my country and Moldova's diaspora some people couldn't vote more than 5 times or had 1 vote accepted during the voting time and 4 at 4:00, a long after ESC was over.

That's what people say every year

[@Kaiklen]

2021 had way more “default radio crap” songs than this year, some of y’all are just biased

[@dopepopeurban6129]

@@Kaiklen Id actually say it’s the other way around. Yes, 2021 was very pop heavy but at least there was some variety. This years songs (most of them) actually sound more or less the same, same bpms, same rhythms, same beat style. Songs like Fallen Angel, El Diablo or Tout l'univers are all more or less classic pop concepts. However despite that basic concept and through sound design and the singers themselves, these songs stood out and made them immediately recognizable. I don’t see this in 2022. Like at all. Sounds and beats don’t differentiate, exactly this is what u hear in radio nowadays. Don’t think people are biased, more that the last ESC set a high standards for this year and people are underwhelmed by most of the entries :/

Yeah both had elements I love and they both have everything I want to see in a Eurovision entry and more. They were both catchy, unique, memorable and creative which I love in a Eurovision song. And I like that they had elements of traditional Ukrainian folk music and were in their native language, I feel like that is a good plus for me in terms of Eurovision songs because I love learning about other people’s cultures from around the world. I don’t even know which I would rank higher because they’re both good in their own ways.

It's really weird, whilst i agree with a majority of this list, I still think 2021 was a better year. I think it's probably because most of *the* best songs of 2022 didn't actually make it into the finals and instead we got a million mediocre ballads. The final lineup for 2021 was a lot better than this year, but overall I can definitely see 2022 having better songs? It's weird.

@@proximab3881 Eurodance? I mean.. I can't even.. eurodance?! Peole obviously need to start getting interested in music and figuring out genres, because.. Calling Cornelia "eurodance" is like saying Lordi sounds like Britney. That's how far off it is. Insane.

[@tygret]

France, Sweden and UK are some mental choices man. Not gonna lie. No way. Respect or agree with the rest though

[@Sara-fd3dd]

Honestly, this year's French song is too unique to go unnoticed. An electronic - folk song in Breton, which, as I understand It, takes up a popular legend. Voilà was also very beautiful, but come on: it was just the French stereotype done in song. I don't know what to say about Sweden. Only the text of Hold me Closer is nice, honestly; the rest (the base, the melody) don't give me any emotion. I didn't really like Voices either but it was more catchy, although I appreciate that they changed the genre of their entries a bit. The only one I agree with is the UK.

I think many of this years songs are ‘more listenable’ on a regular basis, but they weren’t necessarily more interesting performances or better songs - they were more ‘car radio ready’ in my opinion lol

[@krktfisthis]

I actually agree with you 👍

[@anastasiyaholdak8493]

No you're not the only one, last year's France's song was strong, but this year's it's really special! For instance finally no french lyrics!! And for comparison to all the last songs, France sent to Eurovision France 2022 really is the most distinctive of them all!! I'm really curious how the public and the jury will judge this year's France's song!!

[@indreduobaite13]

I only disagreed with a few choices and my result was 2021 - 13 vs 2022 - 25. I don't know how it happened but I actually prefer this year over last even though 2021 was my favourite year of Eurovision. I'm so curious what I'm going to think after the shows will actually take place

[@sigurdhvidsten7581]

Yeah u got the same feeling like me there.

[@thinkingbout]

I think that's because a lot of this years songs sound similar in the aspect that they could be in the music charts with only a few outstanding while last year there was a greater diversity in genre. Also it is hard to rate a year through comparing the songs of one country with each other while the songcontest is between countries. For some choices I just felt indifferent because I liked/disliked both, but that doesn't says much about the songcontest in the whole. Also last year learing about the peoples personalitys and which message they want to tell through their songs made a huge difference for the perception of them. And of course that the year before the contest was cancelled made the last contest better in that sense that everyone was happy it could be held again after one year without esc.

[@loganfarmer3241]

2021 was so iconic. I feel like this year they were pushing for songs that would do well commercially

I am from Milan... Well, I like Italian song 2022 but I much preferred Maneskin... Bands like them are from another Planet compared with the singers/songs standards seen in Eurovision. It's a pity because Maneskin last year climbed the music charts not just of Europe but from around the world including the United States, revaluating the Eurovision Song Contest. And this will hardly happen again short and medium-term, unfortunately.

[@swedishmake-upgeek5650]

I was gonna play along, but I lost count towards the end. I think it ended up really close, though. For Norway I couldn't decide though. I love both of their recent entries way too much for different reasons!

[@cailieisidro5758]

I still played along because everyone has their own opinion (You just have to make sure you’re not too critical of it). However, both Norway’s entries in 2021 and 2022, I have a love-hate relationship with them as well as I like to call it, guilty pleasure

[@zelgadisgreywolf8313]

I prefer Tix over 2022 entry, just for pure content of the song reason. Like Subwolfer's song has no content, it is literally about nothing, while Tix has a strong message behind it with some TS reference and overall Tix showing his vulnerability. Subwolfer is just a silly song that is supposed to get sold with generic beat with silly lyrics and funny dance.

[@yinloveyang]

As a person from belgium i was so happy that you chose 'miss you' instead of 'the wrong place' because if you know how strict hooverphonic is with their singers and what jeremie already did he deserves it way more! Also does anyone notice how similar the song from belgium from last year was comparing to the song of iceland from this year?
