Random Eurovision Thoughts

Bulgaria winning the Olympics with their 2007 Eurovision song. Love to see it.

 

Looks like it's ESC 1992 on EurovisionAgain tonight!

 

Oh no. RIP.

 

Is it weird that this is my all-time favourite Sweden Eurovision entry?

 

His demonic powers seem to get him through every door in the universe.

 

Despite her shaky vocals and weird staging, this not even qualifying will never not be shocking to me. I thought this was an easy top 5.

 

Does anyone here traces of the Framling chorus melody in the new Abba song?

 

You're not alone. I've seen several Swedish TikToks pointing this out as well.

This blog analyzing each Eurovision scoreboard (so far from 1957 to 1980) is a nice read.

 

This "mix" I did back in May is probably the most poptastic 3 hours of music you will ever hear.

 

RIP Maria Mendiola (1952-2021), one half of Spanish duo Baccara of UK#1 disco smash Yes Sir I Can Boogie and representing Luxembourg on Eurovision 1978 fame. (She's the one in white.)

 

The full winner reprise performance of ESC 1956

Also, previously unknow photos of the show.

 

Congratulations and jubilations. This months #Eurovision goes way back to 1968.

 

Robbed of victory, twice. The nerve.

 

Loving this song for years, I recently kept coming back to it and can now confidently say it's one of my favourite Eurovision entries of all time:

The flawless composition, the gorgeous instrumental, the drama, the pristine vocals, the heavenly ad-libs near the end, the camera work, the staging, Sandra (the singer) looking like a goddess.
It's all so epic that it seems too good for Eurovision.

 

Does ANYBODY like Verona other than me.

I feel like it gets nothing but hatred and I don't understand why.

 

It was my most played song of 2017. Gutted when it didn't qualify. Still listen to it around once a week now

 

RIP Claude Lombard (1945-2021)

She represented Belgium in Eurovision 1968 in London (which #EurovisionAgain aired last Saturday).

 

Nooo... I was listening to this song the other day. It's always been among my faves of the early Eurovision days, such a stunning entry and it eventually became my favourite from 1968 edition.
This is not the only time she appeared at this contest, since she was also a backing singer for Belgium's 1973 Eurovision entry.

Since 1980's, Claude went on to have a career in voice acting and singing theme songs, mainly for animated series:

(calling @berserkboi)

Such a shame she passed away.

 

I thought Verona was fan favourite. At least, it was the Estonian song that was voted to be in the #EurovisionAgain semifinal special.
