After watching a bunch of Eurovision clip videos, I'm interested in hosting a 1-round (maybe 2-round) music ranking competition in the style of Eurovision. Which basically means everyone who joins will pick one song by an artist from a country in Europe, and every country can only be represented once by one artist from that country and one contestant.
I will likely do a qualifying round, which will just be for determining what order people pick in. Whoever gets graded the best song in the qualifying round will get 1st pick, able to choose any 1 song from any European artist ever. Because once a country is claimed, that's it, the next contestant must pick an artist from another country. And it will be open to ANY singer or group that was from said European country, not just ones that performed Eurovision. No songs will be disallowed, no matter how much they may be seen as a choice of 'obviously a great song.' This is an experimental thing I want to try at least once to see how it goes.
For now, just post whether you're interested in playing or judging. Judges will rank all the songs from best to worst in both rounds, and I want to do something where the players pick their favorite songs in the final round (as is what happens in the real Eurovision) but that can only really work if all the contestants do so to even things out (because by rule, no one can vote their own song as one of their favorites.)
