2016 : 26

I don't get why msot people, especially on YouTube, prefer 2017 to 2016. This year is sooo much inferior compared to the blast of bopness that we got last year. There were major disappointments this year, and I feel sad about it.

It's hard to compare because of these year's entries not having stage performances, but I'll try to only think of the song in this battle.
:al: 2017
:am: 2017, this is probably the hardest one since I LOVED Iveta, but this is the song I'll probably listen to more.

Wow, so that was more even than I thought :lol: the live performances will probably give 2017 a bigger advantage though...

Now that we've got all the entries, I figured I'd update my list - and with a little more detail! To get a clearer idea of which year was better, I'll compare each country on a scale where:

  • 3 points means a massive difference, 2 points is still significant, 1 is slight, and 0 is either a tie or mood-dependent.
  • Scores are based on final studio versions only.
  • Disqualified songs (Romania 2016, possibly Russia 2017) and countries only in one year are still included, since we did get the songs.
Curious to see how it turns out!

TOTAL:
2016: 18 wins (33 points)
2017: 18 wins (33 points)

...Oh. Well. That doesn't particularly help things, does it? :lol:

I've been thinking for a while that I can't quite decide whether I prefer this year or last, and I suppose I've got the proof now. Live performances, results, hosting etc. could change things, of course, but based on studio versions: this year and last year are tied for me!

Oh, that's an interesting idea! I'll update mine as well with that system, but I'll exclude countries that don't have a song for both years.

Hi, nice to meet you too! Not many people know Eurovision around here, so it's so nice to meet some in this forum!

This year was much weaker than last year: even for countries whose two last efforts I liked or disliked, 2016 very often wins the battle. The lineup wasn't bad, but most of the songs were just okay, which isn't enough to stand the test of time. Fingers crossed for a stronger competition next year.

It seems that it turns out to be a tie, though I partly hated the 2017's entries which are much more dull than in 2016. xhmmm
