EU Clash of Countries round 2!

Thank you everyone who participated in round 1 of the EU clash of countries! A lot of the contests were extremely close (except for Sweden vs Czech Republic, we see you, Czech side of tumblr), but every single one of them had a winner. Good job everyone! And shout out to the Hungarians for being the funniest motherfuckers under these silly polls. Google translate is a lifesaver. On to round 2!

Over the next four days, it will be decided which of the remaining EU countries is the most neat! And unlike the European commissioners, these results can be directly voted on by the people!

Round 2:

Ireland vs Lithuania

Slovakia vs Estonia

Italy vs Poland

Netherlands vs Germany

France vs Austria

Croatia vs Czech Republic

Spain vs Romania

Cyprus vs Belgium

Every poll will run for 24 hours.

All the posts on this blog that will have anything to do with the clash of countries will be tagged #EU Clash of Countries, and from now on, also what round we are on

In response to responses like this:

Well. Maybe. A little. But one fought with pillows.

And also:

Well yes. But try to keep it friendly.

THE EUROVISION 2024 RANKING!

The time has finally come for me to rank the Eurovision songs we have this year. But before I do, I do want to make a couple of points because there are, I feel, a couple important comments that need to be made.

For one, you'll notice that I ranked only 35 countries while the list has 37 songs. There are 2 countries that should not be competing this year, and I decided not to include them in my ranking or any other posts I make here on Aijamisespava, especially as a heavily opinion-based platform. Second, this was a REALLY hard year to rank. So if you see a song ranked super low, it's not that I hate it (I don't really hate any of these songs), it's just I liked some more than others. And finally, I won't be providing explanations for my rankings quite yet. I have a fun 2023 vs. 2024 post for next week planned where I will explain things.

Ready? Set? Here are the first Aijamisespava Eurovision Rankings!

35. Finland: "No Rules!" by Windows95Man 34. Latvia: "Hollow" by Dons 33. Albania: "Titan" by Besa 32. Cyprus: "Liar" by Silia Kapsis 31. Ireland: "Doomsday Blue" by Bambie Thug 30. Luxembourg: "Fighter" by Tali 29. Sweden: "Unforgettable" by Marcus & Martinus 28. Netherlands: "Europapa" by Joost Klein 27. Austria: "We Will Rave" by Kaleen 26. Australia: "One Milkali (One Blood)" by Electric Fields 25. Iceland: "Scared Of Heights" by Hera Björk 24. Germany: "Always On The Run" by Isaak 23. Malta: "Loop" by Sarah Bonnici 22. Czechia: "Pedestal" by Aiko 21. Moldova: "In The Middle" by Natalia Barbu 20. United Kingdom: "Dizzy" by Olly Alexander 19. Spain: "Zorra" by Nebulossa 18. Greece: "Zari" by Marina Satti 17. Portugal: "Grito" by Iolanda 16. Armenia: "Jako" by Ladaniva 15. Estonia: "(Nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi" by 5MIINUST & PUULUUP 14. Italy: "La Noia" by Angelina Mango 13. Ukraine: "Teresa & Maria" by alyona alyona/Jerry Heil 12. Denmark: "Sand" by Saba 11. Switzerland: "The Code" by Nemo 10. France: "Mon Amour" by Slimane 9. Poland: "The Tower" by Luna 8. Lithuania: "Luktelk" by Silvester Belt 7. Georgia: "Firefighter" by Nusta 6. Slovenia: "Veronika" by Raiven 5. San Marino: "11:11" by Megara 4. Norway: "Ulveham" by Gåte 3. Croatia: "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" by Baby Lasagna 2. Serbia: "Ramonda" by Teya Dora 1. Belgium: "Before The Party's Over" by Mustii

Final Verdict: This year started off a tad underwhelming. Maybe this was my saltiness at my national final winners not winning. However, as I listened to some songs more and more, I started really liking a lot of the entries. And then the internally selected songs came out and I was utterly blown away by some of the songs we got. Was this a good year? Absolutely. I can't wait to see all these songs fight it all out in May! *oh yeah, may I note that my opinions may change? My winner has been flip flopping between Serbia and Belgium for a while and may continue to do so until the end of time*

Congrats to Belgium for winning my personal Eurovision so far, and scoring their 2nd victory in my rankings (having been my winner for 2015).

Okay, I'm gonna go now, bye!

EU Clash of Countries!

Inspired by the various tumblr poll brackets, and particularly the US State Showdown, we present: The EU Clash of Countries!

Over the next five days, it will be decided which of the EU countries is the most neat! Unlike in the European council, these votes don’t have to be unanimous to reach a verdict.

Round 1:

Lithuania vs Latvia

Finland vs Slovakia

Slovenia vs Estonia

Poland vs Greece

Hungary vs Netherlands

Malta vs Austria

Croatia vs Portugal

Sweden vs Czech Republic

Denmark vs Spain

Romania vs Bulgaria

Cyprus vs Luxembourg

Every poll will run for 24 hours. The bracket was made with an online bracket maker where we entered the countries alphabetically and then moved them around a bit to not get pile-ups of large countries that people from elsewhere are more likely to recognize. Some countries will only enter in the second round, because there’s 27 countries.

 Absolutely use these polls to tell us about your country. There is so much to learn about each other! But please keep any banter about which country is Better light-hearted. Leave the ethnic stereotyping to your weird uncle.

All the posts on this blog that will have anything to do with the clash of countries will be tagged #EU Clash of Countries

So let’s find out what tumblr thinks! Yay democracy!
