You should give more time. There are some rankdowns on the same due I can delay the deadline to the 27th if I'll see that I don't have enough lists. Although there are no rankdowns due at the same day and I think that 17 days should be enough time to rank 43 songs.

Sorry man; never seen an episode of Eurovision or whatever it is! lol Alright, The Eurovision (Full name: Eurovision Song Contest) is the longest-running annual international TV song competition. Each participating country (The countries are from Europe except Israel & Australia) submits an original song to be performed on live television and radio and then casts votes for the other countries' songs to determine the most popular song in the competition. The contest has been broadcasted every year for sixty years. It is also one of the most watched non-sporting events in the world, with audience figures having been quoted in recent years as anything between 100 million and 600 million internationally. Winning the Eurovision Song Contest provides a short-term boost to the winning artists' career, but rarely results in long-term success. Notable exceptions are ABBA (winner in 1974 for Sweden), Bucks Fizz (winner in 1981 for the United Kingdom) and Céline Dion (winner in 1988 for Switzerland), all of whom launched successful worldwide careers after their wins. You can check out the songs that compete in this year here: Youtube playlist or Recap of the songs

I will definitely be taking part. I have conducted my preliminary list (don't ask), and will be finalising my rankdown shortly after the easter break (maybe even tomorrow if I have the time) - you'll have it by the deadline, rest assured, but thanks for the reminder.

I'm listening the songs rn, and I got more instant-connection the last year than this year. Some of this year will grown on me.

I had the same feeling when I watched the recap vids & listened to most of these for the first time (including Israel's song) but a lot of them actually grew on me, I even like my #35 in the rankings. This year was better than last year overall imo.

My patch of unpopular choices have been submitted! What does everyone else make of this year's songs compared to previous years? To me, it's missing a stand-out song. Some pleasant songs this year, but yet to be wow'ed (it's a word, right?)

Some pleasant songs this year, but yet to be wow'ed (it's a word, right?) Last year I didn't follow the Eurovision a lot and from the songs I've heard, I only liked like 5 songs. A lot of the songs this year took some time to grow on me (Israel, Bulgaria, Italy) and now I really like my Top 15 or so. But tbh last year had more standouts for me (Australia, Bulgaria & Hungary) than this year (my top 2).

Sorry I can't participate :'(
1) After listening to these songs one by one, there's only a handful of them that I remember the top of my head and I could rank fairly 2) That's because I listened to them on day per day basis because I'm so busy currently due to the string of important tests going 3) I have no time to relisten these songs altogether again because I will have to study later
Thanks for the polite invite tho and thanks for at least tagging me in this thread

Submissions are now closed!So let's kick this off with a survey: 1) Which songs do you think will make the Top 5? 2) Which song will be #43? 3) Which song will have the highest SD (Standard Deviation)? 4) If your country is participating this year, where do you think it's song will place? 5) Which song is going to win it all? I'll start posting later today (10 hours or so) so if you could answer the survey until then it'd be great!
