Four reddit users- sacmersault, phoenix963, madgoalie, and I- have been spending the last several days ranking the songs of ESC 1988. We each took turns eliminating our least favorite song. Now we're down to ten. We each sent our favorite songs directly to the top 10. Those were the automatic qualifiers. The six wildcards qualified by surviving the rankdown. (You can follow along with the rankdown stage or check the outcomes of past tournaments at /r/esctournament over on reddit).
Now, we're turning the voting over to you.
Here's how you vote: I've linked all the songs that qualified below. Listen to each song at least once, but how ever many times you need to get a ranking. Then award them points the same way you would at Eurovision (12 for your favorite, 10 for second favorite, etc.) You have 48 hours to cast your vote. Whatever song has received the most votes at the end of 48 hours is the winner. We plan to do a rankdown for every single year so expect this to become a regular thing.
Here are the songs to choose from:
Automatic Qualifiers
Portugal- Voltarei performed by Dora- qualified by /u/laneyflitt (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_o-dxOi4hw)
