No matter which song from Ukraine you like more...the flute guy is always the winner

[sdrawkcabemdaer]

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 🤷🏻‍♀️

[purrsandfurrs]

2022 has a lot of good songs.
2021 had a lot of spectacular songs.

This year is full of mainstream songs you’ll forget as soon ESC is over.

[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.

[balesplace]

The best part of 2021 was the fact that even if you wouldn’t like the song if it weren’t ironic or the genre was completely not your thing, each song was so special and unique and fun - you could enjoy everything. Last year, no song was just ‘eh’.

[Irldazaiosamu]

2021 was just a much stronger year full of so many unique songs that really just stood strong for me even now. i don’t see how 2022 could ever live up to 2021

[zagradisek]

I feel that 2021 still a better year somehow

[fridamerilolowenadler]

I don't agree with many of your choises but that's what make EVSC so lovely. We all feel different about the songs and it's something for everyone. I respect your opinion and it was fun to see your list. For me, 2021 would win but it's a close call. Many of the countries that was good last year are those who are good this year in my opinion.

[nordicgaming]

Still dont understand why the "I don't feel hate" guy didn't get any points.. The guy is a living legend!!

[an_italian_person]

Please guys, let me say


Eurovision 2021 was iconic.
But not only for the songs, but also for the atmosfere it gived, that atmosfere of when, for example, I have seen a video where Tix was literaly cherring to all the songs! That made me fell good, I don't really know why....



Sorry for my bad English but I'm Italian

[abear]

I wanted to respect your opinion but sadly you choosed Embers over Spaceman

[kristynahelgetova]

Lithuania and Ukraine killing it every year, Love it!

[nikiszanto]

I mostly agree but somehow I still feel like 2021 was a better year in terms of doversity and uniqueness. Maybe artists had more time to make music during quarantine or something 🤷🏽‍♀️

[mikehughhawk]

Nobody gonna talk about the fact that they picked UK 2021 (one of eurovisions worst ever songs) over 2022 which almost won?

[HZ-fgsf]

Regardless of opinion on specific songs, I really enjoyed this kind of format. Really interesting to see a side by side comparison and see if a country decided to switched up their strategy or not.

[dopepopeurban]

I rly don’t see 2022 being better than 2021. 2021 was a kinda strong year, many new styles and interesting artists. With a few exceptions, 2022 is just default radio crap, sry to say

[noty]

Nah cause most 2021songs were all winner songs,
Voila, tout l’univers and shum will always have a special place in my heart

[larsnico]

2021 - 21
2022 - 17

There were some shocking choices for me (France, UK, Ukraine...) 😱😂

Nevertheless I wish a nice Eurovision season 2022 to everyone🎉

[ramujaku]

2021 was such a strong and spectacular year for Eurovision full of creativity, love, and most importantly, passion. Sure, 2022 is.. interesting, to say the least, but it will never live up to the cultural reset that 2021 was.

HOW DID FRANCE GET SO LITTLE POINTS IT WAS SO GOOD
