Random Eurovision Thoughts

A robbery in 1999 was this gem just getting TWO points



I know this was a favourite to win but judging by the performance alone it's obvious why it didn't do better. The vocals are pitchy and inconsistent, the wardrobe terrible and uninspired, and the dance moves distracting. The song itself is fine but everything around it was just one bad choice after another.

I'm watching Eurovision 2013 for the first time (I don't know why I didn't bother with it that year ddd) and it's kinda good. Finland was amazing!
2013 is a great Eurovision year. Some of my all-time favourites are from it, the biggest one being:



And my heart still breaks for these immensely underrated songs which didn't even make it to the final:

As we enter yet another Pride Month, it's worth pointing out that 2021 marks the 60th anniversary of the victory of "Nous Les Amoureux" in Eurovision, which Jean-Claude Pascal would admit it's about a secret love relationship of two men and that he had been in that situation himself. Of course, the lyrics can also apply to a heterosexual relationship but you don't have to dig too deep to find out that they're actually about the struggles and persecution of those who loved someone of the same sex, in a time where LGBT activity was outlawed or at the very least vastly frowned upon pretty much everywhere in the world.

Unfortunate song title, crap running order, and dreadful wardrobe choice. Otherwise it's a decent Steps-lite song.

Also, Nicki blaming the UK not being part of the Euro as the reason for doing poorly never fails to crack me up.

Talking about 2013, robbed sensation Igranka is finally on Spotify!

So we did Gina G, Katrina, Imaani, Precious, Nicki French, Lindsay Dracass and Jessica Garlick 7 years in a row and now it's...Joe and Jake, SuRie, Michael Rice and James Newman. Phew. The decline!
I always loved You're Not Alone, but as usual they just stood there with zero staging
