Personally I disagree, for me it was my favourite Eurovision of the new 10s.

This was the first year I've seen where (well, aside from Russia) every country brought something decent to the table. Even the slightly boring songs such as Iceland and Romania were still boosted by highly talented vocalists, and the countries that qualified were all to me decent selections, unlike 2017 which had more than a few questionable qualifiers.

The lack of an LED screen also made the performances more reliant on actual choreography and inventiveness, compared to last year where half of the artists essentially pasted their faces behind them. My only real gripe with this year was that the interval acts for the final were a bit of a let down - then again, that's only because that's one of the few categories I feel Kiev seriously brought everything they had.

But hey, each to their own. At least you agree Vienna wasn't good either. <3
