Key occasions
AND THAT IS A WRAP! (Other than the 90 minutes of interlude, voting and outcomes)
✨✨✨ A bald man joins in midway by and ruins a track! ✨✨✨
Truthfully each time I hear this I actually take pleasure in it after which instantly I’m reminded, oh yeah, then that man meanders throughout it. Like when the Sugarcubes got here out and everybody was completely enraptured by Björk’s voice however they stored having Einar waffle throughout every thing hyperlink whole wind-up retailers.
26: 🇦🇱 Albania – Shkodra Elektronike with ‘Zjerm’
They’re named after Shkodër, the place they arrive from, though they’ve each moved to Italy now, and they’re devoted to creating fashionable digital sounds closely influenced by the music they left behind. I am keen on the string association on this one, very cinematic.
✨✨✨ Inexplicable masks! ✨✨✨
I actually hate these gurning animated uncanny valley statues on the video display. Perhaps it was a deliberate creative selection nevertheless it simply seemed a lot like AI slop that it floor my gears.
25: 🇸🇲 San Marino – Gabry Ponte with ‘Tutta l’Italia’
An enormous celebration of Italian tradition from the tiny enclave that sits inside Italy, made by Italian DJ Gabry Ponte. It isn’t his first brush with Eurovision, as he co-wrote Austria’s entry in 2022.
I’m intrigued by a tiny nation sending to the competition a track in reward of the tradition that surrounds it however which it declined to hitch throughout Italy’s unification course of, however perhaps that’s as a result of I’m a historical past nerd.
TRIVIA KLAXON: The most effective sand at Eurovision was in 2011 when Kseniya Simonova did stay sand artwork as a part of the backdrop for Mika Newton’s entry Angel, which was representing Ukraine. Test it out …
I imply it might be an excessive amount of prosecco however I’ve obtained fairly teary now about this one. She is making a proper mess of that stage, although.
24: 🇫🇷 France – Louane with ‘Maman’
The “France don’t ship a French ballad problem” has been failed for an additional 12 months. Louane is established in France as each a singer and actor. She is bringing an enormous highly effective Adele-style ballad to the get together with a message about motherhood – it’s devoted to her late mom – and this might do nicely I believe.
My household watch get together is considerably smaller than this large stadium get together they’re displaying now. France are up subsequent. I’m going to take a 5 minute break …
There’s a query whether or not the very fact it’s such a favorite will dampen voting enthusiasm on the night time. It’s infuriatingly catchy, and my sister, who has not heard or seen it earlier than, is hooting with laughter subsequent to me.
23: 🇸🇪 Sweden – KAJ with ‘Bara bada bastu’
Right here come tonight’s winners. An enormous favorite with the bookies, which appears to be true of something Sweden ever enters, this has obtained large drunk singalong Opus “Life is Life” vibes to it. Sweden practically all the time sends an English language track – however not this. It’s the first time Sweden’s entry is in Swedish since 1998 and the band are literally from Finland. I’ve no thought if their accents are any good. Anyway it will lodge itself in your mind and I’d wager solely an sudden large public vote for one thing else goes to shift it from the highest spot.
BREAK OUT THE SMILEY EMOJI IT IS THE ACID BREAKDOWN KLAXON 🙂🙂🙃🙂🙂
This one has been an absolute grower for me. I initially dismissed it as 90s club-lite nevertheless it has simply lodged itself in my mind.
She earned bonus factors earlier this week as a result of she was a visitor on Scott Mills’ BBC Radio 2 breakfast present and managed to swear stay on air 3 times, bless her.
22: 🇩🇰 Denmark – Sissal with ‘Hallucination’
This comes outfitted with a naggingly acquainted chord development/synth arpeggio line, and I believe Sissal will rating nicely with this. She is from the Faroe Islands and cites Robyn as an affect, which shall be fairly self-evident because the track goes alongside. I’ve come to actually, actually prefer it.
✨✨✨ Guitar shreddage! ✨✨✨
I’m not bitter* however truthfully why are we sitting by this once we may have had Milkshake Man or Laika Social gathering. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?
[*We have established that I am bitter]
21: 🇵🇹 Portugal – Napa with ‘Deslocado’
My concept is that someplace at RTP HQ in Lisbon they’ve an enormous sack, and written on the facet of it’s “That ballad we normally ship to Eurovision” and yearly they’ve a rummage round and pull one thing out at random, and this 12 months it’s Napa. As soon as it will get going it’s got a little bit of a mid-period Paul McCartney & Wings about it. Solely the band Napa may have been.
Right here is the unique efficiency with the unique saucier lyrics, if you happen to hadn’t seen it by the best way
I imply, it’s A LOT, eh …
