I had this game idea a couple of months ago but never tried to materialize it since I'm not sure if it's that interesting to the rest of you. But I suppose it's somewhat original and worth giving a try (sorry my 4th placed NF songs contest friends, I'll get around to that one later on). I took...

Due to popular demand let's proceed with electing the best fourth placed song from this year's national selections. I'll be following the official ESC draws to allocate the songs into 2 semis & the final. Some countries will be missing it, as usual, due to having chosen their song via internal...

Time to elect the best third placed song from this year's national selections then. I'll try to follow again the official ESC draws to make 2 semis. Obviously some countries will be left out once more due to their internal selection processes. The big 5 are advancing automatically to the final...

So I've used MrGerbear's wonderful tool the very same day I first listened to all songs of this year's ESC. That was a couple of weeks ago or so. It was a ranking based on first impressions pretty much. Now that my opinions of this year's songs have become more solid I had a go at it again...

Since the first round of qualifiers to Euro 2020 have just gone by this idea for a game seems fitting to me. Let's imagine you can be the manager for your country at Eurovision and select the 11 songs from the all time-roster, be able to choose those that make you the most proud! What's that...

Let's elect the best runner-up from this year's national selections. Depending on the response to this game we can do for 3rd placed songs afterwards and so on. Perhaps we can have a little "best internal selection" contest as well if it's more appealing than this sort of contest. I'll try to...

Still not done for this year. The rules: save one country per post. The last country that is unsaved is eliminated. The limit: You can vote once in a day (00:00 - 23:59 GMT). Australia Austria Azerbaijan Belarus Belgium Cyprus Croatia Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Georgia...

A yearly exercise that I like to do soon after all ESC songs are revealed is comparing whether I like the songs from each country better than the one sent the previous year. So basically state whether you think this year's songs are better or worse than last year (and feel free to add whichever...

Surprised no one did this for this year. Rules are the same as always, +1 for "healing" and -2 for "hurting" (which you can split, if you will). Try to keep it fair by voting once a day. If you've never played this game before, here's an example from a past edition. Now let's find the forum...

Decided to revive this game from my now long gone first times around the forum. We never finished it then but I hope it can be done this time. A little reminder of what it is all about from the original thread. Then I wrote: All of this still seems up to date and explains well the idea behind...

So I'm a bit off the bubble. I'd like to know which countries went with internal selections this year and have no live performance videoclip released. (Netherlands and Finland are exceptions since despite being internal selections have had live videos of the songs released). List of countries...

Thought there'd be some thread like this around here already, but here it goes. Tonight, for some reason, I thought that I was working as a roadie for Jamala :lol: She was playing an open air venue, some festival of sorts and basically I failed her twice. One time was at passing her a water...

I'm trying to remember the name of this American ESC YouTube Channel. I could swear a thread or a message about it was posted on this very forum but I just can't seem to find it. The ESC videos of the channel basically consisted of this one guy going through the songs and "dissecting" them as...

Couldn't find a thread for this year. Posting this because like 10 days after the final I'm a little surprised to learn that Jamala sings: "We could build a future" while I thought all along that it was "Welcome to the future". Also by the tone she uses in lines like "Humanity cries/Humanity...

New idea for a contest: we all know more or less each others musical tastes around this section of the forum, but what about them hotties? The idea of this game is to elect the Miss and Mister Eurovision of the decade so far. Depending on adherence and popularity of the contest then we can elect...

As promised, here it is. Aside the editions that have already been played and mentioned at the end of the 2014 thread, I found that 2009, 2007 and 2006 have also been done around here, though the method of elimination used for those was different then (it looked more like a "hurt and heal" type...

I've been wanting to host a contest for a while. Initially my idea was to do this in a "Best song in language X" format but then I came to the conclusion that this would only be possible with a handful of countries or so. Not to mention that the contest in English language would make the others...

2009 down, time for 2007 :) Rules are the same as always, +1 for "healing" and -2 for "hurting" (which you can split, if you will). You can vote with an interval of at least 15 minutes if you want. Now let's find the forum favorite for 2007, 7 years after Helsinki x12s Albania - Hear My Plea -...

So with the 2010 game having just finished, think it's time to come up with a new one :) Rules are the same as always, +1 for "healing" and -2 for "hurting" (which you can split, if you will). You can vote with an interval of at least 15 minutes if you want. Now let's find the forum favorite for...
