Eurovision Battle: 2021 Vs 2022

Last year, in the battle between 2020 and 2021, 2021 came out victorious for me! Now it's time to delve into the battle between 2021 and 2022! Obviously some countries were excluded as they only participated in one of the two years. Those are Russia (2021), Armenia (2022) and Montenegro (2022).

I have to admit some choices were rather difficult for me. I liked both entries from Belgium, Greece, Latvia, Serbia and Ukraine almost equally. Full disclaimer, last year I voted for Finland and Serbia in the semi-final and Italy, Lithuania and Cyprus in the final - so these entries hold a special place in my heart.

[Dickens]

How anyone can not pick Voila is beyond me. Pure art.

[neontricity]

I agree with your opinions for the most part!
The ones I didn't agree with I wasn't too mad because the other song was still very good!
Amazing choices!!!

[sannev]

Nice our only disagrees are Australia (like really), Azerbaijan, Belgium, Cyprus, Finland, France, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Malta, Norway, Romania, Sweden, Ukraine

[PoProstuBartek]

Oh no no. Saying that "Sugar" is better than "Trenuletul" is crime

[alexhorga]

Okay choosing Moldova 2021 over 2022 is on the verge of blasphemy in my book

[_terabyte]

Just a question, how is Technicolour better than Not The Same?

[poncakebruh]

watching this video makes me realize how many overrated songs were in 2021. And also, how dare you not vote for godstrakta

[klaudijabogdanovski]

🤣🤣🤣 had to laugh about Technicolour scoring higher than Not The Same. 😂😂😂 this is your taste right?

[thealmight]

Cool, i disagree with Serbia and Moldova 👌

[Tomule]

Disagree with Moldova, Azerbaijan and Serbia.... Lithuania, France and Romania were hard to decide

[ΓιώργοςΜ-ην]

Agree:Albania, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, France, Georgia, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Malta, Netherlands, NMac, Norway, Poland, Portugal, San Marino, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK
Disagree:Czechia, Finland, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Romania, Serbia, Ukraine

[Eurovisionx]

Lol my result 19-19 but from the quality overall 2021 was better

[averysmolbrownie]

Finally someone who I agree with almost completely! And the few I didn’t 100% agree with were because I couldn’t pick (except Austria, but I can see why most people would pick Halo over Amen, I just have specific music tastes).

[shiningmover]

Azerbaijan this year is so underrated unfortunately.

[achnix]

I cant with peoples choosing Albania 2022... Yall got zero taste but see you in two years when youll know better

[zulufigure]

2022 had more better songs imo, but The Netherlands really made it a party in 2021
