I noticed there are two major and one minor genre of music in this year‘s Eurovision. Main genres this year are dance and ballads.

I would like you to pick ONE song of each group, your favourite. I am thinking that in the final only one or two songs will get most votes, meaning that some others - probably some fan favs - will fall by the wayside. Let‘s find out which!

D A N C E

Group A - Contemporary
Cyprus, Switzerland, Belarus, Malta, Estonia (Ukraine)

Group B - ESC Dancepop
Finland, Norway, Sweden, Azerbaijan, San Marino, Spain, Montenegro

Group C - R‘n‘B / HipHop
Czech Republic, Italy

B A L L A D S

Group D - Classic
Moldova, Serbia, Israel, UK, Croatia, Hungary, France, North Macedonia

Group E - Contemporary
The Netherlands, Greece, Germany, Lithuania, Slovenia, Austria

O T H E R

Group F - Alternative / Indie folk
Denmark, Latvia, Romania, Armenia, Ireland

Group G - The „Extravaganza“
Iceland, Portugal, Australia, Poland, Russia, Georgia, Albania, Belgium

I know. Some songs can't be put in a special genre (or would have one of its own). But my intention was to count the votes of a country after a few weeks to see which one of each genre has the most votes. Because you won't vote for all of them in the final (given they qualify). Most people will vote for one or two (anything else doesn't make sense). Let's find out which songs have the greatest chances to go top 5 in the final.

Group G is a bit different but would you vote for Iceland AND Portugal if both are your favourites and you know only one will win? I think people will vote for only ONE SPECIAL song.

Your poll is wrong for some songs, really. I would vote for my faves, as they share the same genre or not. I mean it's a great idea don't get me wrong, I really like your thread. I'm gonna do it anyway but I'm gonna make a spoiler thing where I'll rearrange your categories.

B - Norway
C - Italy
