2021 vs 2020: Better, Equal, or Worse?

[Loindici]

Since we're near the start of getting them new songs, let's prepare to make a list.

Which 2021 songs are better, equal, or worse than 2020 in your opinion?

To make it easier, this is an example of it.

Better:


Equal:


Worse:

------------------

Then, to sum it up and open discussion.
Better songs get 1 point.
Equal songs get 0 point.
Worse songs get -1 point.
Total them up, and that's your final point.

Vote in the poll whether Eurovision 2021 is better than 2020 according to your score.
- Way Better (>5)
- Better (2 to 5)
- The same (-1 to 1)
- Worse (-5 to -2)
- Way Worse (<-5)

I like Switzerland though, just not as much as last year.

Russia is interesting too, it might grow on me.

A bit difficult this early, but I think I've made up my mind about the following 16:

Better:


Worse:


The other 24 are either equal, too early to tell, or haven't been revealed yet.

To say merely "just in a different league from last year" would grant 2020 way too much credit and 2021 way too little:
Just in a different league from last year:
Modest improvements:
Basically the same:
Not only basically the same quality but basically the same song:
A modest drop:
A big drop:

is much worse this year, from my top 5 with Ulrikke (sigh) to my bottom 5 this year with TIX.

I haven't put my verdict on all of them, but here we go before I put my final verdicts later:

Better:

Mata Hari is a sequel to Cleopatra. I'm not sure if it's gonna be on equal or a bit worse than its predecessor, though.
It's more anthemic than its predecessor, and could be a dark horse that nobody expects.
Last Dance is a better song than Supergirl, probably because of the less cringey lyrical content.
This is not even close to Move, sorry.
It has less viral appeal and earworm appeal than TAT. Still a bop, though.
I really need more time to determine this one. For now it's worse.
I prefer Repondez-moi, but it feels like it could be on the same level ater on.
:flag_uk: It's catchier and more fresh that MLB, could have a significant success at the competition.
THE MOON IS STILL RISING ONCE AGAIN AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
It feels like a grower for me, and that's also the case with TGB.
no.
it's so much better for me now.
Loco Loco is in the same level as Hasta La Vista, at least for me.
Cheese at its best.
Sorry, dear, just a big no.
