Top Ten Game: Eurovision 2023

Interim Round 89: Top 10 Eurovision 2023

​

Hello Europe! And rest of the world! This year Top Ten Game Eurovision 2023 edition will be played here in the Eurovision thread to avoid double trouble confusion in the main game thread. Here are some rules, in case someone new to the game stumbles in here, but also some notes our veterans, as the points go bit different here than in the main game.

Rules:

• Send your list of Top 10 Songs from Eurovision 2023 to @Riku in PM
• The songs will be given points according to the ranking. 1st pick 12 pts, 2nd 10 pts, 3rd 8, 4th 7pts, ... , 10th 1 pts.
  • You can use nation names in the list. For example 1. Finland (12pts) 2. Sweden (10pts), and so on. But you can also include artist or song name. Just start with the nation, makes it faster for me <3
• Unlike in actual Eurovision, you can vote for your own country. I'm not going have anyone sending me photocopies of their passports.
• In the end, all the participants points are tallied, and will be revealed starting from lowest to highest rank.
• Deadline monday 8.5.2023 3PM UTC
  • Countdown

Official Full Playlist of 2023 Songs:

Spoiler: The Ranking

37th-32rd
32nd-28th

 

[Riku]

My top 4 in top 7

I'm counting for some surprises today, because 1st semi was pretty predictable Oh, and beware of "Poland" performance, rumors say it's cringe asf.

Definetly improvement from the nationals, but still meh and bottom of the barrel in the category of pop divas fierce dance breaks. And as much as I love 90s vaporwave, why here? This song was 0% vaporwave energy.

Gustaph was a positive surprise. And Joker Out was also nice. But now I'm going to sleep. Looking forward to Austria and Australia tomorrow.

Austria was still catchy and fun, but I wish the stage had been more interesting. Their presence was good, but kinda medium.

Australia had the most visually pleasing this far. Love the 80s synthwave aesthetic and that car was a beauty.

 

[Organizized]

Genuinely shocked Poland qualified. Better with the staging and all but the song is still unbelievably bland.

[Evil3ye]

Austria live was much more meh than the vid clip tbh

 

[Linali]

@Juviii gurl, what a taste

I fell in love with 'Future lover' from the beginning (I even forgave Armenia they made us wait for song's release for so long). Every sound goes straight to my heart and I feel like the lyrics are about me. And Brunette has great staging, I wish her top 10 at least

 

[Organizized]

Austria live was much more meh than the vid clip tbh

Yeah the song is still good but it loses a lot of the charm without the video aesthetics. Also felt like some of the oomph in the production didn't carry through to the live performance.

Finland wins, the other two is uncertain I think, on this forum. But I'm still gonna be boring and say 1. Finland 2. Sweden 3. Czechia

[Erinyes]

Huh, not a single Leo, totally rigged.

Thanks so much @Riku for hosting . I'm happy that most of my favorite went pretty far.

 

[Copy Panda]

are we gonna group rant in the chat tn again

 

[Juviii]

Huh, not a single Leo, totally rigged.

Latvia's vocalist is a Leo but they failed the semi final.

 

[Linali]

I'm crossing fingers for Finland (since Armenia is rather without chance for winning), so I'm glad he won here

Thank you for hosting @Riku and to everyone for participating. May grand final be fun and exciting for you all <3

 

[Evil3ye]

Thanks for hosting Riku ku ku, good luck cha cha cha, and enjoy the show everyone.

For myself, I got to say got couple surprises already, positively in terms of performance - omg how cute were the Slovenian guys and how fun the Hrvatski lol
And even in terms of songs, even found myself singing solo solo hahaha. Also serbia and moldova was more fun than what i remembered rating.

 

[Organizized]

Finland
Slovenia
Sweden
Serbia
Undecided on fifth place right now but that's my top 4 based on the actual performances.

 

[Riku]

I actually like Germany a lot now. Finland, Serbia, Australia, Sweden to make it top 5. Belgium, Slovenia and France were great too.

 

[Organizized]

Maybe I'm just tired of the Loreen hype, objectively I think her performance was the best but I like Finland and Slovenia more song-wise so.. \o/

 

[Riku]

Also, I think we won't win. The oomph just didn't feel big enough. I think Loreen has this. La Zarra and Voyager black horses.

 

[Evil3ye]

Voted Finland, Slovenia and Serbia. That's my top three.

--- Double Post Merged, May 13, 2023, Original Post Date: May 13, 2023 ---

Ohh i just relistened to Sweden again after saw her cashing all those juries lol... It's actually good hahaha. I know I'm slow, but i didn't remember the song at all so mega slow burn for me, definitely a grower. Let's see if she gets it a second time.

 

[Riku]

The Käärijä chanting at the arena is heart breaking.

Its not possible to catch Loreen anymore.

--- Double Post Merged, May 14, 2023, Original Post Date: May 13, 2023 ---

Congrats Sweden. Well done Loreen

But we know who the real winner is. Audience support was amazing and our green boy did us proud.

 

[Organizized]

When Käärijä got that amount of televote points my heart started beating pretty fast, ngl. But the juries really sunk him, unfortunately.

Anyway, congrats us. Honestly think Cornelia last year had a song more deserving to win than Loreen, BUT I also dont think Loreen would've won if the overall competition was as strong as last year... this year was definitely much weaker across the board, imo.

Wonder if people will stop voting for us forever now that we've caught up to Ireland.
