I Control Eurovision

edit

This is an alternative list showing every edition of eurovision, except instead of the actual winners, the entire top 5 is picked by me, based on which songs I enjoyed the most in each edition.

Points anatomy

edit

I still award points for the performances, however, they are used to scale my enjoyment of each song, in the following categories:

  • Enjoyment (ENJ)
  • Composition (COM)
  • Performance (PER)
  • Vocals (VOC)
  • Returnability (RET)
  • Captivation (CAP)
  • Memorability (MEM)

Each category can award up to 100 points based on my enjoyment, which means the max score a song can reach here is 700 points. While i don't do the calculation for the runner up, the margin is used to share how narrow the competition was between the two top songs, from around 10 for a very narrow competiton to over 100 for a landslide win.
