Changing Eurovision's Delicate Balance Between Jury And Televote
Changing Eurovision's Delicate Balance Between Jury And Televote
The system for allocating points in the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest has been more-or-less stable since 2016. In that year, the points allocated by televoters and juries were split, with each country’s jury and televote awarding 1-8, 10, and 12 each, rather than having them combined. The televote and jury vote was equally weighted. The introduction of a televote from the rest of the…

Eurovision 2007 - Number 48 - Tamara Todevska - "Kaži koj si ti"
youtube
This is the first time that Tamara Todevska entered the Macedonian national final. She's on her way to becoming a Eurovision star, but for this year she's still slightly in the shadow of her big sister Tijana. Tijana has already had success and entered the national final on a few occasions - including 1999 when she made my top list for that year.
Now it's time for little sis to begin to shine. Tamara's already had one album released by 2007 as well as several singles, so her name is already out there in the Macedonian public consciousness. On top of that, she won MakFest in 2006. Time to go one better and enter the Macedonian national final Pesna za Evrovizija
Kaži koj si ti (Tell Me Who You Are) is a classic RnB-tinged, pop tune with enough space in it to let Tamara demonstrate her voice, her dancing and her ability to sell a song in front of the cameras. She does all three with apparent ease. It's a song in which Tamara has just found out her man is not the man she thought he was. He's been cheating on her and now she's challenging him to show his true face.
She does this by dancing with a lot of other men. Tamara is obviously a catch and the cheat would be a fool not to address his behaviour immediately. That voice though. She's smiling throughout this performance while knocking the song out of the park. Such an assured, confident and impressive presence, she totally commands the stage while pretending that singing this is the easiest thing in the world.
It's written by Aleksandar Masevski, an Amsterdam-based Macedonian producer and occasional song-writer, son of one of Macedonia's most famous modern composers Dimitar Masevski. He's a Eurovision eminence grise, having worked with all the Macedonian big names and occasionally having quite a big say in who represents Macedonia at Eurovision. He doesn't write many songs, but when he does, they're often at a level above the average. Slick and feeling like something that would be at home in the charts in the US.
All of this industry connection and professionalism almost paid off this year. Tamara finished second. It was definitely someone else's year this year, but this got Tamara noticed. From next year more recognition would come her way. She ended up representing Macedonia in 2008 and again, even more successfully, in 2019 when she won the jury vote for Macedonia at Eurovision - the only time they've done that. Tamara also gave them their best overall Eurovision result ever.
I'm sure I'll get there eventually, but in the meantime let's leave Tamara with this success and her subsequent career releasing singles, another album, collaborating with all the big names and performing. Here's one of her songs from 2013, Tesko Bez Tebe (It's Hard Without You).

Good evening Europe!
It's that magical time of the year again when we all come together to trash each others' musical tastes!
The point system has changed many times over the years, and as various countries have come and gone, it is hard to determine who did "the best" based on the points they got alone as, since the maximum available points doubled with the jury and televote scores no longer being combined, post 2016 entries would have an obvious advantage and, likewise, the contests with 40+ participants would also have more maximum available points to give so a country getting 200 points in 2004 is not the same as another getting 200 points in 2009 or 2016.
But if we divide the points each entry got by the maximum available points for the respective year it competed, we get a percentage score that can easily be measured against entries from years with differing point systems.
So, for example, in 2009 42 countries participated. The maximum points each country can award is of course 12 and you can't vote for yourself. So 41 × 12 = 492. Let's then take Norway's total of 387 points and divide it by the 492 total of maximum available points. We get 78.6, meaning Norway and Alexander Rybak amassed 78.6% of the total points in 2009!
In the case of tie breaks the entry that placed higher in its respective year wins the tie break and if there's still a tie I used rules similar to the actual contest; the winner of a tie is the entry that received more points from televoting. If there are no split results available to the public, the entry that received points from more countries, then the country that received more 12 points, then 10 points all the way down to 1. If the tie cannot be broken in this way, the entry that performed earlier wins the tie break.
I've set 2004 as the "beginning of time", if you will, because that's when I started watching Eurovision and because there also had to be some sort of limit to how far back I would go with this 🤣
With that very long-winded explanation of my measuring tactics out of the way, shall we see our current Top 100 before new entries are added after the 2023 Grand Final is over?

My Runners-Up, A Third Part
At the end of last week, I gave you a ranking of the runners-up both in the contest and my personal rankings. And now, similar to my personal rankings, I will give you my ranking of my personal runners-up by order of release date.
I will note here that instead of all the asterisks, the date I provide will be the date it became a Eurovision song. If a song was released earlier as a National Final song, only the date it won the National Final will count. Let's get to it!
2017: "Story Of My Life" by NAVIBAND (Belarus) *January 20* 2020: "Universo" by Blas Cantó (Spain) *January 30* 2015: "Goodbye To Yesterday" by Elina Born & Stig Rästa (Estonia) *February 21* 2018: "Under The Ladder" by Mélovin (Ukraine) *February 24* 2022: "Not The Same" by Sheldon Riley (Australia) *February 26* 2024: "Ramonda" by Teya Dora (Serbia) *March 2* 2023: "Samo mi se spava" by Luke Black (Serbia) *March 4* 2021: "Zitti e buoni" by Måneskin (Italy) *March 6* 2019: "Proud" by Tamara Todevska (North Macedonia) *March 8* 2016: "Sound of Silence" by Dami Im (Australia) *March 11*
Not a lot of conclusions that I could pull here. The only thing that I could pull is that all my runners-up from 2015 to now have qualified for the grand final...really wish I could say the same for my winners haha. This was a really interesting thing to look at, though!

Eurovision Fact #270:
North Macedonia, formerly participating under the title F.Y.R Macedonia, has participated in Eurovision a total of 22 times. The nation has only made it to the Grand Final nine times. Three of those times were prior to the 2004 introduction of semi-finals:
In 1998, Vlado Janevski's 'Ne Zori, Zoro' placed 19th. In 2000, XXL's '100\% Te Ljubam' placed 15th overall, and in 2002 Karolina's 'Od Nas Zavisi' once again took 19th place.
In 2004, the nation made it to the first Grand Final thanks to 'Life' by Tose Proeski, which placed 14th. The following year, Martin Vucic placed 17th with 'Make My Day,' Elena Risteska's 'Ninanajna' took 12th the year after, and in 2007 Karolina took home 14th with 'Mojot Svet.'
Five years later in 2012, North Macedonia made it back to the Grand Final thanks to Kaliopi's 'Crno I Belo' which placed 13th. Another seven years passed before the country saw success again. Tamara Todevska made her nation proud by earning their best result ever in 2019. Her song 'Proud' placed 7th overall.

1999 Jerusalem - Number 26 - Tijana Todevska Dapcevic - "Osameni"
youtube
My first musical selection for 1999 is not from a national final. It's from Skopje Fest - in a year when North Maceonia had been relegated. Skopje Fest has its own history outside of a national final in a similar manner to the Festival di Sanremo. Like Sanremo, I've included songs from it for consideration.
First up it's future Eurovision act Tijana Dapčević, sister of even more famous and two-time Eurovision performer Tamara Todevska. In 1999 Tijana has graduated from the Faculty of Musical Arts in Skopje, and as she hasn't married yet is still Tijana Todevska. This isn't her first entry into Skopje Fest. She entered in 1996 and managed to finish third.
Unfortunately not only do I not have the lyrics for Osameni (Alone/Lonely), but I don't have the results of Skopje Fest 1999. Other than knowing that Tijana didn't win that year, I don't know how well she did. Osameni is a light, jazz-infused number that makes full use of Tijana's deep, smooth and agile voice as well a funky bassline and whole heap of brass parps and stabs. It harkens back to bygone summers in city heat. Not stereotypical Eurovision music by any means, but Macedonia didn't really care that year - they weren't taking part.
This is here not only because I like it and because it's different, but also to demonstrate that in 1999 no one had a clue what Eurovision was going to be. Anything was possible. Anything could be tried. The Eurovision moulds were cracked and broken.
