Can AI predict the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest?

SongPad press release

The team at music startup SongPad think you can! And they’ve done just that.

They have run all the songs in this weekend’s Eurovision song contest through their AI-powered song review service, and have come up with a predicted winner.

How did they work out the winner?

SongPad is an AI-powered songwriting and reviews platform. The SongPad team used GTP-4 with custom designed prompts and parameters to review each of the songs in the Eurovision song contest, and rank them.

So who’s going to be crowned the winner of Eurovision 2023?

Based on the SongPad team’s results, the winner of Eurovision 2023 will be Germany’s entry ‘Blood and Glitter’ performed by Lord of the Lost.

How is the UK entry going to do?

Based on the AI tests, SongPad predicts the UK entry ‘I Wrote A Song’ performed by Holly Mae Muller to finish around position 5 in the Eurovision grand final.

Here’s what the SongPad review service reported on this song:

‘Overall, your song has a strong emotional core and a catchy chorus. By enhancing the metaphors and imagery, refining some of the rhymes, and creating a more distinct bridge, your song will be even more impactful and memorable.’ 

And who’s going to end up with nil points?

The AI suggests that Serbia’s Luke Black performing ‘Samo Mi Se Spava’ (‘I just want to sleep’) is the song with the lowest quality lyrics, and would therefore be the team most likely to score nil points.

What is considered in the review?

SongPad is primarily a tool for writing and reviewing song lyrics. Powered by GPT-4 it is capable of reviewing emotional impact and use of metaphor, rhyme and creative writing techniques, and structure and repetition.

It is trained on English language content, so the official English translations of all the Eurovision songs were used for review within the SongPad platform.

SongPad reviews are based on lyrics, and the platform doesn’t predict what is likely to be popular. It also doesn’t take the politics of the Eurovision song contest into account.
