I'm moving this week so I'm quite busy but I'll try to get the submission form up soon!

Thinking of doing this again but only for pre-2k songs (iirc the oldest song last time was from 2005). Because less people remember older contests and there were less countries competing I might make it so any song that didn't come in the top 5 can get in.

Do you also have the problem that you only come across fun tournaments once they've reached the semi-finals or worse? Or that you have the perfect candidate to submit but the submission period closed 3 months ago? I made this blog to try and fix that problem.

The idea is that tournament runners only have to tag this blog, so that I can reblog their announcement post, to gain traction and that tournament enjoyers only have to follow this blog to see all the new tournament announcements.

Tagging some currently running tournaments I know about to get the word out:

@bestadaptationtournament, @best-curse-word-tournament, @best-childhood-book, @best-overplayed-song, @disneyparksattractionstournament, @bizarre-blorbo-bracket, @canonmisogynyvictimstournament, @lastlinetournament, @bookfirstlinetourney, @mysterytournament, @bestsnubbedeurovisionsong, @goat-esc-winner-showdown, @taylorswiftsongshowdown, @animated-disney-movie-showdown, @thebestestwinner, @bestmusicalworldcup, @guy-in-a-girl-way

#oh this is a really good idea

Hi, just wanted to thank you for hosting this contest! I got so invested I'm almost as salty about the results as I am about actual eurovision results, but either way, I had a lot of fun with it lol

Thank you! I also have some opinions about the results, but I'm glad people enjoyed it!

In my opinion it's one of the greatest non qualifiers ever. It's such a unique soulful song with huge and incredibly emotion moments and such a touching meaning. It's such a powerful song and the fact that it nqued was literally tragic. May or may not have cried for over an hour maaaaybe 2.

Ok so the song is just GOOD! I can't get it out of my head i want to scream AIJĀ all the time. It was definitely a slow burn for me and i feel that's the case for many others! That's why it didn't qualify, people didn't let it COOK! When i first heard it (with the music video) I was like "Cool! That's decent and the video bangs!" But it didn't immediately go to my top for this year. But now it's definitely up there! Can't get it out of my head.

It's a very beautiful song with an interesting rythm. It had the bad luck of being in the highly competitive first semifinal, and thus narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final.

Samo Mi Se Spava:

I don't think it's my first place bias saying that this really is SUCH a creative and unique Eurovision entry. It's something new and so incredibly effective. Everything was pulled off to the complete best degree it could be and it was frankly perfect. SUCH a strong performance of such a strong song. I understand that some people don't like songs unless they have a pop belt vocal but I just think everything about smss is perfect. I genuinely cannot believe it placed bottom 5.

Round 2 Side B

I like bananas (because they have no bones): The blog runne'rs one choice. i put this in because it's the song that is the entire reason this bracket exist, they truly were singing about some wild shit even back in the 30's. if you like this blog then consider voting for this song because THEY LIKE BANANAS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO BONES

in corpore sano: In Corpore Sano was the Serbian Eurovision entry in 2022. I think that when a lot of people think of Eurovision, they think of key changes and big pop songs about love, so a song like this is a huge song of whiplash. It's essentially a critique of the Serbian healthcare system, but also - and more importantly - about peoples' obsession with health. It's about how people become so, so obsessed with their body and having a healthy body - diets, exercise, you know - that they become depressed and obsessive. The song ends by saying: "Corpus je sanum i šta ćemo sad? Mens infirma in corpore sano Animus tristis in corpore sano Mens desperata in corpore sano Mens conterrita in corpore sano I šta ćemo sad?" Which translates to "The body is healthy, so what do we do now? A sick mind in a healthy body A sad soul in a healthy body A desperate mind in a healthy body A frightened mind in a healthy body So what do we do now?" The performance used religious imagery, and people have talked about how it also shows that mental health problems are often dismissed in parts of Serbia and are said to be cured with religion, but for the most part, it's about the focus on having a healthy body. But in terms of the actual music? It's weird as fuck as well. I think it's near to impossible to place this song in a standard genre. Google told me the genres are Indian Film Pop and Classical? Wikipedia told me it's avante-pop and art pop which is probably what I would have described it as, but my god it's one of the weirdest and most brilliant songs ever.

monsieur: Song is from the POV of a Butler (or some other domestic servant). He describes his master as someone respected by neighbors, liked by animals, who cheers up a crying child and helps a blind man crossing a street. This master tends to roses, and sometimes, he kills people. This butler narrator is working for a serial killer. He seems totally fine with cleaning up crime scenes and other related duties. He also sounds pretty respectful of the "Monsieur" he's working for. At the end of the song, the "Monsieur" gets hanged and the narrator, now jobless, asks the judge who condemned his late master to hire him as a servant.

I DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THAT SHE CAME BOTTOM 5 UNTIL I WAS LOOKING AT THE RESULTS JUST THEN. SHE DOES NOT DESERVE THAT PLACE. THE SONG IS FUN, IN HER NATIVE LANGUAGE, COLOURFUL, THE STAGING WAS BEAUTIFUL AND SIMPLISTIC. I AM ACTUALLY THE MOST MAD ABOUT HER PLACING. UGH.

Fulenn:

It’s such a good and cool and fun song ?? Like, the genre is Celtic electronica which already just sounds super cool as a name, but it’s also just cool. The vibes were immaculate, they were serving that satanic ritual vibe that I know I’m not the only one to like. Also, the song is in Breton which is cool, like, yes, that’s also a part of the country !! The lyrics are about a legend from Brittany !

For the first time in years France brings a song that isn't a ballad and that isn't in French, but in the regional language Breton which is wildly underrated. The song, the act, the vibes, all of it was top five worthy! I will forever be bitter

Forest witch ritual music. Nothing more needed

Missä Miehet Ratsastaa:

Following on from the success of Lordi two years prior, in 2008 Finland sends another great metal song in Finnish, very on brand! No reason for this to have done so poorly, unless people were somehow tired of metal in 2008, I know I certainly wasn't! The singer is absoluttely fantastic here and doesn't put a note wrong for the entire song, which is more than be said for many higher placing entries over the years; and I do love a vocalist that sounds better in the live performance than on the record. There's all the pyro on offer than you'd expect from a metal performance, everyone looks like they've stepped straight out the 80s, everyone's in leather, and there's two guys at the back are waving around comically oversized weapons and beating drums.
