Editor Ranking: Eurovision 2022

Turin was an interesting year in the Eurovision history books. Questions were asked about politics in Eurovision (not for the first time, and not for the last) but everyone seemed to be supportive this time. Two of the Big Five massively turned around their embarrassing results the year prior and as a Brit, it was insane to watch. This was a year of mostly subdued ballads which meant most of the top five stood out for being upbeat, powerful and different. This was also my first year attending a real life Eurovision show - and I saw our own Sam Ryder in the flesh!
Take a look at our editor's ranking of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Turin, and who the favourites were here at Eurovote. Each song is reviewed across a number of scoring criteria we call our Eurovote Matrix. This takes into account the staging, performance, studio song quality, and the song itself - however, it also takes into account whether the song made it onto one of the editor's playlist, alongside the 'Love Factor'.
