Random Eurovision Thoughts

Every year when it gets close to Eurovision I have to go back to my queens amazing tour. Ms Lorak had all the dollars for production on this. I dont understand a word she is saying in the entire concert but I love every second. Especially the song and performance that starts at 1:49:30. She could copy and paste that to any year of Eurovision and be a winner or top 5

Thinking about this again again
Laura Valenzuela (1931-2023)
Valenzuela hosted Eurovision 1969 in Madrid, the only contest so far held in Spain, and famously had to deal with the curveball of having four joint winners. She passed away today at age 92.

So she’s too special to actually do Eurovision, but she’ll host Benidorm and release songs that are basically just remakes of Eurovision songs?
Make it make sense!!

Yes, deal with it!
Anita Tallahaug (1938-2023)
Anita Tallahaug passed away last Monday at age 85. In 1963, she represented Norway at Eurovision with the song Sollherv after Nora Brockstedt (Norway 1960-61), who sang it at the national final, declined to compete at London citing scheduling conflicts. At Eurovision, the song was one of the four who failed to score any points. Tallahaug never recorded Sollherv. (As far as I remember, this and Belgium 1979 are the only songs that don't have any studio recording by the artist who sang it at Eurovision.)
Plus, watch out for Anita in this program of Norwegian TV parodying ESC 1965, where she does an 2-in-1 impersonation of Spain's Conchita Bautista and Portugal's Simone de Oliveira.

It's borderline embarrassing how often I still listen to that song.

On a level, he's not actually trolling: We're going to a general election, right after the day on Eurovision which is May 14th. Some of the opposition parties (to be more exact, 6 parties) formed an alliance to go against Erdoğan and things are currently spiced up in Turkey. Turkish public wants to come back to Eurovision and if we could change the ruling party, possibilities for Turkey to return will be open again.

This flopping will forever be a mystery, although I think the actual staging and performance were sub-par.
Interesting watch.
I didn't know that the Albania and Serbia 2019 postcards were filmed on illegal occupied land, but somehow that's not surprising.
