Eurovision Infinity - XI - Odesa (ddl: 3/9 @ 12 CEST)

[Schlagerman1]

Hey there! I am back again with a new little contest that will go on for almost a year at least. It is called Eurovision Infinity, a contest where we are looking backwards into the songs of past 70 years this contest has brought us and let them compete once again, as a way to celebrate the jubilee year that we are going through now. 26 songs are randomly selected in a thought out system.

Changes has been made to how the 26 songs is chosen. Instead, countries are being randomly selected to a year when it is their turn to compete in the contest. The top 10 from the previous year gets randomized first and then the 16 other countries that did worse in earlier editions. At least one song from each decade will compete every edition though.

The rules for this contest is otherwise very simple. You will look and listen to the songs that are competing and rank all the 26 songs from no. 1 (the best song) to no. 26 (the worst song). The one with the best placement point in total wins. The top 10 nations will continue to participate in the next edition held the week after against 16 different nations.

Let's see the songs that are competing in the 11th edition!
1. UNITED KINGDOM 1959 - "Sing Little Birdie" Teddy Johnson & Pearl Carr
