YMMV / Eurovision Song Contest 2022

• Broken Base: It's safe to say that this edition was much more divisive than the previous one.
  • Special mention goes to the winning entry. Was "Stefania" a strong enough entry to win on its own merits, or was Kalush Orchestra's victory only due to sympathy towards Ukraine (currently suffering from a Russian invasion)?
• Harsher in Hindsight: In the BBC commentary, Graham Norton noted that Marius Bear's jacket was similar to James Newman's the year before. While causation doesn't mean correlation, Bear did wind up suffering the same nul-televote fate Newman did. However, unlike Newman (who picked up no points with either the jury or public), Bear did have 78 jury points to console himself with.
• Sleeper Hit: While Rosa Linn's "Snap" only finished 20th at the Grand Final (Armenia's worst Grand Final result to date), it found viral success on the Tik Tok social media in late June and ultimately became the most streamed entry once the streams of the main protagonists started to run their course. It became the first Armenian entry in the British, German, Irish and Italian charts, being in the top 40 in many places including down under in Australia and New Zealand.
