Eurovision 2016 vs Eurovision 2015 (The Battle!)

[Gilberto]

So I thought this was a good idea

Basically, I'd like to know what year you've liked the most so far, basing yourself only on the studio versions, not on performances yet (for obvious reasons )

And to decide what year was better I suggest to do it like this: For each country that participated in both years (39 of them, excluding from 2015 and from 2016), you'd have to pick what song you prefer: the one from last year or this year's. For example if you liked Aina Mun Pitää more than Sing It Away, then you'd have to place on 2015 (I really hope I explained it clear )

This is how it'd look like in my opinion and taste:

2015:





2016:





Here 2015 got 21 songs, while 2016 got 18 songs, so numerically 2015 was better for me (But it was way closer than I thought it'd be )

I'll be waiting for your answers
Greetings

2015 wins for me. Both years haven't truly enthralled me but it's still good stuff .

[Anesović]

tbh, I prefer 2016 A LOT more than 2015, but when I compared the songs, 2015 won it, despite the fact that we had 4 returning countries this year

2015 (17):






2016 (22):







It was weird to compare as some countries song's I loved last year ( ), but hate/dislike this year. There were some that I like/love for both years ( ) and also those I hate both years ( )

[Kenajabam]

2015: 23







2016: 21

2015: 16


 
 


2016: 23








Although the difference may seem relatively slight,
I personally think that around 15 of the 2016 entries
are better than all of the 2015 songs put together

Austria 2015 (Just better.)
Azerbaijan 2016 (A stronger song this year, but both are vocally good)
Belarus 2015 (Time was one of the criminally underrated ones..)
Belgium 2015 (by faaaar)

Germany 2016 (2015 was good, Ik, but 2016 is a goddamn drop dead masterpiece)
Greece 2016 (It's a close fight, but 2015 is way too bland)
Iceland 2015 (Both are in the top 5 for me and this is one of my favorite ESC countries but I've fallen in love with Unbroken [and María])

Israel 2015 (Both are average)
Italy 2016 (Both were so lovely)
Latvia 2015 (No doubt here!)
Lithuania 2015 (I've been waiting for this time!)
Macedonia 2015 (That's the one that didn't make my fcking ears bleed)
Malta 2016 (Both were nice, probably the closest one)
Moldova 2015 (This is one of the top 20 worst entries ever by a long shot, but 2016 is the 4th worst entry ever in my opinion, so...)
Montenegro 2015 (You know why)
Netherlands 2016 (Luv u Douwe)
Norway 2015 (Both are love, both are life)
Poland 2016 (Yeah. 2015 is shite)
Russia 2016 (It's close)
San Marino 2016 (SO VERY MEH)
Serbia 2016 (There's no comparison between meh and terrific)
Slovenia 2016 (Both are average plus for me)
Spain 2016 (Starting to grow on me)
Sweden 2015 (You gotta admit that's pretty damn good)
Switzerland 2016 (Queen Rykka!)
