[eurovision-song-bracket]

Welcome to the Eurovision Song Bracket!

This will be a fairly large bracket, consisting of two "teams" of 68 songs for a total of 136 competitors!

The first team has been preselected, and will consist of all previous winners or popular vote winners if applicable.

This means that if your favorite song won, you do not need to submit them (a couple of exceptions apply, see list at the bottom/read more for details)

Submissions are closed!

Rules!

- Entries must have been a part of the main competition of Eurovision of any year (I might do a MGP mini bracket if the people want that)

- Once again, you do not need to submit winners, they are (mostly) automatically in. Again, see bottom for details and explanations.

- You may submit multiple songs, but please don't send the same song over and over.

- Propaganda is highly encouraged! There is a spot for it in the submission form, and adding it on to the poll itself or sending an ask is also allowed. You may send a DM, but I'll probably be slow to respond that way.

How it Works!

- There will be multiple brackets of 34 songs

- Each of the preselected winners will be randomly against one of the submitted songs. Pairings will be decided through number assignment and a random number generator.

- Vote for your favorite! I will include links to the songs in the poll so you can listen to both before voting. The winner will move onto the next round until we find the winner of that bracket.

- Once all brackets are complete, the winners of their individual brackets will go onto the finals to determine the (unofficial) Ultimate Eurovision Song Winner!

- There will be a preliminary around, as 1969 (hehe nice) had a four way tie, so we will need to determine which of those four will represent that year!

Luxembourg 1984

Host: Luxembourg Participants: 19 Voting method: 12-point system (juries only) Winner: Herreys - Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley Country: Sweden Language: Swedish Points: 145 (67.1% of highest score possible)

General Overview:

The production feels more modern this year. The presenter is 19-year-old Désirée Nosbusch, who has an unusually casual approach for the time. She's an efficient host too, since this year's runtime is roughly 2h15m. The postcards feature 1980s 3D animations that look horribly dated in an amusing way. The interval involves a dude interacting with a crudely animated horse. And the 1984 contest embraces big hair, synthesizes, and those hexagon drum kits.

The stage design is improvement from 1983, but literally anything would be. However, I don't like that we've returned to these big distracting objects in the background. There's an arrangement of mobile floating geometric shapes. Plus staircases on either side. This stage design should've been left behind in the 70s.

That said, Eurovision still embraces its own legacy/nostalgia, as the show opens and closes with the orchestra playing a medley of Luxembourg's 5 winners + “L'amour est bleu”. I find that pretty neat. I wish more of these older contests would acknowledge the winning song that brought the contest to this country. Luxembourg were masters at creating melodic French ballads. But it also signals the end of an era; because, aside from Celine, no other French ballad has won since then. And Celine's song had '80s elements in it anyways.

Ireland returns but Greece and Israel (due to a national holiday) are out again. Also, it's funny how Carola and Linda Martin reached top 3 in consecutive years... because they'll also win in consecutive years.

Otherwise, this seems like a forgettable year? There's still a good amount of songs I like, but there's at least 8 I don't care about. And why do so many lyrics mention trains? It's also difficult to find good quality audio of this year.

Sweden: Herreys - Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley (winner review below)

Luxembourg: Sophie Carle - 100% d'amour These vocals are AWFUL. I keep wincing at every missed note. Luxembourg clearly weren't winning back-to-back this time. Sophie's cutesy tone makes the song seem cheesy too. The lyrics are full of clunky metaphors. But basically, she's sick of bad news and heartbreak songs, so she wants to spread “100% love” and change people's perspectives. The only positive aspect is the '80s synthpop production, with the dramatic bangs, guitar hops, and elastic-y chorus.

France: Annick Thoumazeau - Autant d'amoureux que d'étoiles I always forget about this song. It's nothing new from France. The verses are gentle; while the chorus amplifies the drums/vocals/strings, with some catchy “il y a”s and a double punch. Then the sax appears later on. But I don't like that switch into the post-chorus longing. In the lyrics, Annick is confused about which way is right or wrong. But this person makes her happy regardless. She says the world is beautiful if you pay attention.

Spain: Bravo - Lady, Lady A comforting folk song and some catchy “lady lady lady”s puts Spain in the top 3! I like the storytelling, where this lady wastes years of her life, foolishly hoping this guy returns. The lyrics are very descriptive as well. The song's calming vibe conveys her delusion. I also like the acoustic guitar and '80s drum rhythm, the backing echoes, the stop when the chorus begins, and how the chorus intensifies midway (with the backing “ahhhh” and the singer's agonized vocal). The bridge bangs are effective too.

Norway: Dollie de Luxe - Lenge leve livet The staging is memorable for the karate outfits, but why are they wearing them? The arm swinging also reminds me of Belgium '83. Moreover, the vocals are kind of a mess. That opening scream hurts my ears. And the song is so flat. There's a consistent drum beat, some celebratory chorus horns, a mid-chorus rev-up, and the verse 2 guitar ricochets. But meh. The lyrics advocate for the preservation of life in this violent world.

United Kingdom: Belle and the Devotions - Love Games This sounds exactly like a Supremes song. The harmonies, their signature stomping beat, the very prominent backing ad libs, the liberal usage of “baby”, the spoken word “oh darling”, the bells. The lyrics keep it simple as well, where Belle asks why did this guy lead her on. It's camp, but I enjoy it as a tribute act. The drum shake transitions are also effective. And the song is pretty catchy (“baby, baby, why!... ooooh!”) I don't like how Laura and Linda stand backwards for so long though. Allegedly they were lip syncing.

Cyprus: Andy Paul - Anna Maria Lena Well, this is bland and forgettable AF. Nothing in the instrumental or melody pulls me in. The strings, the twinkle bells, the “Aaaaaaanna”s, the “oooh”-ing bridge, and the “Aaaaaaanna .. MARIA LENA!” hooks fail to make impact. The only memorable aspect is Andy's hair. And the lyrics are nothing special – he's just in love with this “Anna Maria Lena” girl.

Belgium: Jacques Zegers - Avanti la vie I guess this entry is creative, but it creeps me out: the blank, zombie-like stares into the camera, the swaying, Jacques' tense deep vocal, the backing whispers, and the shadow lighting at the beginning. Plus how the instrumental is so static. The lyrics command us to keep moving forward in life and be free. Which is why the bass and drums persistently march forward through the whole song; with guitar reverberations in between. It can be hypnotic, but in an unrelenting way.

Ireland: Linda Martin - Terminal 3 Finally Ireland tries something different. The song's various switch-ups are really effective. The verses are urgent, featuring some guitar growls. While the sudden bursts of “TERMINAL 3: FLIGHT'S ON TIME” really grab attention. I like the horns that follow it. That chorus is super short and it sounds like an ad jingle. But it's enough to ease the tension. There's also a couple of daydream-y bridges and the anticipatory horn/drum intro reappears. I should note Johnny Logan wrote this. The lyrics follow Linda's anxious mind as she's about to reunite with her long distance partner at the airport. He asked for her to meet him there. There's plenty of plane and airport references too.

Denmark: Hot Eyes - Det' lige det The first of the duo's 3 appearances. The song isn't groundbreaking, but it's very cheerful, the chorus is catchy, and their interactions by the piano are cute. Kirsten also pushes Søren away during the key change, and he kisses her forehead at the end. In DMGP, she actually shoved him into a pool. In the lyrics, Søren's arrival cheers Kirsten up on a rainy day. He nervously uses the word “love”, then they run in the rain. Musically, there's a bouncy, foot-tapping groove, some whistle transitions, and a mid-verse piano jolt. The backing also emphasize the chorus nicely.

Netherlands: Maribelle - Ik hou van jou A slow ballad, but a gorgeous one. The orchestra builds in a captivating way, the melody really stands out, and Maribelle's tone is bittersweet. She really needs this person back and she offers her affection. The song moves at a steady and careful pace. It starts with just the piano, followed by the bass and strings. The chorus grows and intensifies, culminating in the cymbal crash. Then the song softens back in the second verse, besides the strings. And those expansive 1950s-style strings drive the climax.

Yugoslavia: Vlado & Isolda - Ciao, amore The wedding bells, the rapid claps, and the “Ciao-ow amore-eh... CIAO LJUBAVI” hooks are infectious. But Vlado's raspy vocals are unappealing. And the song/performance seem overly serious. Particularly those bells, the super formal attire, and their interactions. The lyrics describe the day they had to depart, where Isolda was waiting for the train, but that's not important anymore. I guess they're back together. Otherwise, the verses have this quirky computerized sound, the mid-chorus switches to a tambourine, and there's a sax outro.

Austria: Anita - Einfach weg A basic '80s pop song. With a string intro. The chorus “whoa oh oh yeah”s and claps are kinda catchy. I noticed the camera cuts to the backing every time it happens. But that chorus is such a “that's it?” moment, and then the song just... ends anticlimactically. The lyrics are about needing a temporary escape for her mental health. Anita leaves without regret or needing anyone's approval. But she clarifies it's not because of the subject.

Germany: Mary Roos - Aufrecht geh'n Mary Roos returns after 12 years. The lyrics have a good message – she resolutely rejects her ex to prioritize her own well-being, even if it's not emotionally easy and she hasn't healed yet. She even walks away on stage at one point. But the composition is so bland. The chorus melody is too ordinary and does nothing for me. While the orchestra doesn't do anything noteworthy. She has a decent voice at least.

Turkey: Beş Yıl Önce, On Yıl Sonra - Halay Much better than Turkey's last 3 entries. I find this one intriguing; with the bass, the whip sound effects, the Turkish harmonies, the “Ha-al-ayyyy” hooks, the chorus horns, the sideways turns, and the hand holding. I just wish the chorus had more to it. The lyrics invite everyone to join this lively dance, no matter where you come from. There's even a short dance break. The group's stage presence is what sells this.

Finland: Kirka - Hengaillaan Finland copies Yugoslavia '83, but it's a fun entry regardless. The energy on stage makes me smile. And the song rotates through various catchy sections. There's the dramatic stops and triangle dings in the pre-chorus, the drum escalations, the flooding chorus melody, the “babada babada babada dododododo” hooks with the horns, and the backing “ha ha ha haha”s. Krika also pulls out the harmonica at one point. In the lyrics, his friend group misses the last train. But instead of stressing about it, they party all night long at the station. There's timestamp updates throughout. They even miss the morning train lol. I like the message.

Switzerland: Rainy Day - Welche Farbe hat der Sonnenschein? Boooooring. I immediately forget how this song goes after hearing Italy. The chorus harmonies are so 'blah'. The production is kinda '80s, but uhhh, that's all I got. The lyrics are pretty cheesy too. They wonder how to paint a picture of the world, because it has both beautiful qualities and war, hunger and misery.

Italy: Alice & Franco Battiato - I treni di Tozeur This is so 'out-there' in a strangely alluring way. It's the combination of the hypnotic '80s drum beat, the heavy strings, the deadpan delivery, the intense rising chorus melody, and the very random and unexpected opera singers in the bridge. Those opera singers also quote Mozart and wear Italian flag colours. I don't like when Franco creepily stands behind Alice, but it doesn't bother me as much as Belgium's creepiness. The title references a train track that the Tunisian king commissioned for himself; wasting government resources and endangering lives in the process. The lyrics describe a deserted, abandoned place.

Portugal: Maria Guinot - Silêncio e tanta gente The Portuguese Adele before Adele was even born. It's a very honest, personal, and beautiful piano ballad. The melody isn't the most accessible, and the backing vocalist is unnecessary, but Maria opens up completely in her performance. And I love when her voice expands and contracts. The lyrics are deep and introspective, where she notices love during the silence and finds her life's purpose among the crowd.

The Winner:

So Sweden racks up their second win during the 10-year anniversary of “Waterloo”. They actually weren't all that dominant in the intermediate years. Carola was the one who brought them back into the top 3 last year, and Sweden will land there again next year.

Herreys are a wholesome trio of brothers. While the lyrics are about one's life improving upon discovering a pair of golden shoes. The song title is also meaningless. So I wonder if this was meant as a joke, because the audience won't understand Swedish anyways. The Nordics could sing literal nonsense and no one would know back then. I say this because I get the impression the Nordics were tired of the language rule around this time - Herreys even switched to English midway through the winner's reprisal.

Regardless of the silly lyrics, “Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley” is still a catchy bop. The '80s drum 'pew-pew's, the orchestra responses in the verses, the call-and-response between the brothers, the way the chorus pushes through, the chorus claps, the “diggi-LOO diggi-LEY” emphasis, and the key change are all effective. Herreys also appear bright and happy on stage. Their colour designated shirts, white pants and golden shoes are memorable; as is their coordinated arm choreography.

Buuuuuut it's still kind of a dumb song.

Verdict: "B" tier.

My points go to.... 01. Ireland: Linda Martin - Terminal 3 02. Italy: Alice & Franco Battiato - I treni di Tozeur 03. Finland: Kirka - Hengaillaan 04. Spain: Bravo - Lady, Lady 05.

Tips Memilih Hero Terbaik untuk Mode Classic di Mobile Legends

Dalam Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, mode Classic adalah salah satu cara paling populer bagi pemain untuk menikmati pengalaman MOBA tanpa tekanan dari mode ranked atau turnamen. Meskipun Classic mungkin terlihat lebih santai, memilih hero yang tepat tetap sangat penting untuk memastikan kemenangan dan menikmati permainan. Artikel ini akan membahas beberapa tips untuk memilih hero terbaik untuk mode Classic, serta bagaimana memilih hero yang sesuai dengan gaya permainan Anda dan kebutuhan tim.

1. Kenali Peran dan Fungsi Hero

Sebelum memilih hero, penting untuk memahami peran dan fungsi setiap hero dalam Mobile Legends. Setiap hero memiliki peran khusus yang dapat mempengaruhi dinamika permainan. Berikut adalah beberapa peran utama dan apa yang harus dicari dalam memilih hero untuk mode Classic:

Tank: Hero tank berfungsi untuk menyerap damage dan melindungi anggota tim lainnya. Dalam mode Classic, memilih tank yang memiliki kemampuan crowd control (CC) yang baik, seperti stun atau slow, dapat memberikan keuntungan besar dalam pertempuran tim. Hero seperti Tigreal, Aegis, atau Aldous adalah pilihan yang solid.

Fighter: Fighter adalah hero yang seimbang antara damage dan ketahanan. Mereka bisa berada di garis depan dan memberikan damage signifikan kepada musuh. Pilih fighter dengan mobilitas yang baik dan kemampuan untuk bertahan dalam pertempuran seperti Akar, Leomord, atau Chou.

Assassin: Assassin berfungsi untuk mengeliminasi hero kunci musuh dengan cepat. Dalam mode Classic, pilih assassin yang memiliki kemampuan burst damage yang tinggi dan mobilitas yang baik, seperti Lancelot, Hayabusa, atau Gusion.

Mage: Mage adalah hero dengan damage area yang besar dan kemampuan spell yang kuat. Pilih mage dengan damage yang tinggi dan crowd control yang efektif, seperti Eudora, Lylia, atau Kagura.

Marksman: Marksman adalah hero dengan damage jarak jauh yang tinggi. Dalam mode Classic, pilih marksman yang memiliki kemampuan bertahan dan scaling damage yang baik, seperti Claude, Miya, atau Granger.

Support: Hero support memiliki kemampuan untuk membantu tim melalui penyembuhan, buff, atau crowd control. Pilih support yang dapat memberikan efek positif untuk tim, seperti Rafaela, Diggie, atau Kaja.

2. Pertimbangkan Komposisi Tim

Komposisi tim yang seimbang adalah kunci untuk sukses dalam mode Classic. Sebelum memilih hero, pertimbangkan komposisi tim Anda dan pastikan bahwa Anda memiliki keseimbangan antara tank, damage dealer, dan support. Berikut adalah beberapa tips untuk memilih hero berdasarkan komposisi tim:

Keseimbangan Peran: Pastikan tim Anda memiliki hero dari berbagai peran untuk memastikan bahwa Anda dapat menghadapi berbagai situasi. Sebagai contoh, memiliki tank untuk menyerap damage, mage untuk memberikan damage area, dan marksman untuk damage jarak jauh dapat memberikan keuntungan strategis.

Sinergi Kemampuan: Pilih hero yang dapat bekerja sama dengan baik dengan hero lain dalam tim Anda. Sinergi kemampuan antara hero dapat membuat strategi tim lebih efektif. Misalnya, jika tim Anda memiliki banyak hero crowd control, menambahkan hero dengan damage area bisa sangat efektif.

Adaptasi terhadap Musuh: Perhatikan komposisi tim musuh dan pilih hero yang dapat mengatasi strategi mereka. Jika musuh memiliki banyak damage dealer jarak jauh, memilih tank dengan kemampuan untuk melindungi tim dari damage tersebut bisa sangat membantu.

3. Pilih Hero yang Sesuai dengan Gaya Bermain

Setiap pemain memiliki gaya bermain yang berbeda, dan memilih hero yang sesuai dengan gaya bermain Anda dapat meningkatkan pengalaman bermain dan kontribusi Anda dalam tim. Berikut adalah beberapa tips untuk memilih hero berdasarkan gaya bermain:

Gaya Agresif: Jika Anda lebih suka bermain agresif dan mengambil risiko, pilih hero dengan damage tinggi dan mobilitas yang baik. Assassin dan fighter adalah pilihan yang tepat untuk gaya bermain ini.

Gaya Defensif: Jika Anda lebih suka bermain defensif dan mendukung tim, pilih hero dengan kemampuan crowd control dan penyembuhan. Tank dan support adalah pilihan terbaik untuk gaya bermain ini.

Gaya Kontrol Peta: Jika Anda lebih suka mengendalikan peta dan memberikan bantuan strategis, pilih hero dengan kemampuan untuk memberikan vision dan crowd control. Support dan mage dengan kemampuan kontrol peta yang baik bisa sangat efektif.

4. Kenali Meta dan Update Terbaru

Meta permainan dan update terbaru dapat mempengaruhi efektivitas hero dalam mode Classic. Pastikan untuk mengikuti berita terbaru tentang patch dan update Mobile Legends untuk memahami perubahan dalam meta dan hero yang mungkin mendapatkan buff atau nerf.

Patch Notes: Baca patch notes terbaru untuk memahami perubahan pada hero, item, dan mekanika permainan. Ini dapat membantu Anda memilih hero yang masih kuat dan relevan dalam meta saat ini.

Pantau Turnamen: Mengamati hero yang sering digunakan dalam turnamen dan pertandingan kompetitif dapat memberikan wawasan tentang hero yang efektif dalam permainan saat ini.

5. Latihan dan Pengalaman

Terakhir, latihan dan pengalaman memainkan peran penting dalam memilih hero yang tepat. Bermain dengan berbagai hero dan mempelajari kekuatan serta kelemahan mereka akan membantu Anda memilih hero yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan tim dan gaya bermain Anda.

Latihan dengan Hero Baru: Cobalah bermain dengan hero yang belum Anda kuasai untuk meningkatkan keterampilan Anda dan memahami lebih banyak tentang berbagai hero.

Analisis Permainan: Setelah setiap pertandingan, luangkan waktu untuk menganalisis kinerja Anda dan tim Anda. Ini dapat membantu Anda memahami hero mana yang paling cocok untuk Anda dan tim Anda.

Memilih hero terbaik untuk mode Classic di Mobile Legends melibatkan pemahaman peran dan fungsi hero, mempertimbangkan komposisi tim, memilih hero sesuai dengan gaya bermain Anda, dan mengikuti meta serta update terbaru. Dengan mengikuti tips ini, Anda dapat meningkatkan peluang Anda untuk meraih kemenangan dan menikmati pengalaman bermain yang lebih baik dalam mode Classic. Teruslah berlatih dan belajar tentang berbagai hero untuk menjadi pemain yang lebih efektif dan berkontribusi pada kesuksesan tim Anda.
