2021 vs 2020: Better, Equal, or Worse?

[Loindici]

Since we're near the start of getting them new songs, let's prepare to make a list.

Which 2021 songs are better, equal, or worse than 2020 in your opinion?

To make it easier, this is an example of it.

Better:


Equal:


Worse:

------------------

Then, to sum it up and open discussion.
Better songs get 1 point.
Equal songs get 0 point.
Worse songs get -1 point.
Total them up, and that's your final point.

Vote in the poll whether Eurovision 2021 is better than 2020 according to your score.
- Way Better (>5)
- Better (2 to 5)
- The same (-1 to 1)
- Worse (-5 to -2)
- Way Worse (<-5)

So, currently I have 'Better' as my final result. I was expecting to have more Betters when I made this thread, but then it seems like with more entries released in March expectations aren't met and the entries went to the 'equal' or 'worse' category. I will probably change my verdicts a few times, too, since there are some songs that left me on the fence when deciding their verdicts (i.e. or ).

I still think this year is overall better, mainly because for a number of the songs I think are worse....it's only because they set such high standards the year before. Most of them still came with great/good songs.

Time for my contribution, although there will be no suspense as far as I am concerned since I barely liked ten songs last year.

Better:

Same:

Worse:

So I fall into the "way better" category, although I think this system would need sub-categories to reflect nuances as shown below.

Better
-way better:
-better even though last year was good too:
-better yet still not good enough:

Same
-Equally good:
-Equally meh:
-Equally bad:

Worse
-way worse:
-worse even though last year was bad too:
-worse yet still good enough:
