Eurovision Fact #439:

In 2011, none of the songs were entirely in French. However, the Lithuanian entry 'C'est Ma Vie' by Evelina Sašenko contained the following line in French:

"C'est ma vie/Je dis oui..."

The French entry 'Sognu' by Amaury Vassili was sung in Corsican.

2022: Final

i had a really lovely time watching with some friends tonight! a little baffled by the result but :shrug:.

France Ileana if you're reading this I'm sorry - but I don't really see the appeal. It was interesting and stood out and was cohesive, but the singers were really off key at parts and the green lights were not working for me. It sucks that a song in a minority language didn't do well because that would have been a big W but also I would like to have seen a better song in a minority language. Amaury Vassily did it better.

Italy Also not good! Blanco's whole presence threw the vibes of the performance really off, if it had been just Mahmood I maybe would have liked it better. But also Soldi > Brividi by a lot.

Spain Not sure how this placed so high. I was unimpressed. Chanel doesn't really know how to hold a mic, I don't think. I liked the dance routine and I thought she looked nice so it was altogether not a bad show. But I don't get how it scored as well as it did.

Germany They've had worse entries and I liked the staging but I was never a fan of the song in the first place so I'm not, like, upset that it scored last. At least it got points.

United Kingdom I'm not unhappy about this doing well. Sam seemed to be having a great time and he did really well vocally and the stage show was honestly great. I have a feeling we'll be seeing more big structures like that next year in an effort to mimic their success.

My top 40

Lithuania

Netherlands

Estonia

Moldova

Georgia

UK

Poland

Ireland

Australia

Sweden

Ukraine

Romania

Norway

Albania

Portugal

Latvia

Armenia

Serbia

Iceland

Czech Rep

Belgium

Montenegro

Denmark

Greece

Spain

Croatia

Germany

Malta

San Marino

Slovenia

Cyprus

Switzerland

Israel

France

Azerbaijan

Austria

Italy

Finland

Bulgaria

North Macedonia

Ultimately, I feel that Ukraine would have been a contender regardless of the war. They've scored well with folk-fusion before - I mean, look at last year. So I'm not too scandalized and I'm willing to accept this.

Eurovision 2010s: 245 - 241

245. Amaury Vassili - “Sognu” France 2011

Ah, the elusive ~actual opera~ entry (not to be confused with it’s cousin, Pop/Opera). You may not know this about me but I’m actually a frequent patron of the Flemish Opera and have a pretty good understanding of how opera should be brought live and ... “Sognu” is not it lmfao. 

You see, the main reason why opera can be amazing live is because it’s a very BOMBASTIC, over-the-top spectacle. If done right, it’s Cirque du Soleil with words. “Sognu”, which in itself is a VERY average composition, offers the visual of stuffing George Of The Jungle in a LesMis costume and calling it a day. 

Don’t let those date rape bugs bite, mr Vassily...x

However, I do enjoy Amaury’s arc in that *everyone* apparently thought he was winning? Which is just baffling (I didn’t follow the 2011 preshow but I instantly knew Azer would win once I heard "Running scared” in the first Semifinal lol.), but hey, I always support my lovely underdogs and conversely when a contenderbeast falls flat on their face at the last second, I’m all in for it. And now it’s time to close this entry, which I’ll do with this A+ piece of Graham Norton commentary:

“Awwww something to cheer him up right at the en- it hasn’t really cheered him up, hasn’t it?” 🤔😬😶

________________________________________________________________

244. Aurela Gaçe - “Feel the passion” Albania 2011

BLEDAR SEJKO <3333333456789 Oh wait, it’s the OTHER entry that features him, in a mute role NEVERMIND.🤭

Obviously, I have some ~fondness~ for "Feel the passion” but it’s mostly academic: I like the Albanian Screechy Harpy and Aurela Gaçe is a decent interpretation of the archetype (she’s without question the NOISIEST of the lot, if not the screamiest). I like how “Feel the passion” also showcases the typical Albanian sound, tiptoeing well between quirkiness, moodiness and datedness. There’s even an eagle backdrop! 

Overall, “Feel the passion” showcases “Albania in Eurovision” pretty well. Too bad it’s not very good though, WHOOPS. ________________________________________________________________

243. Niamh Kavanagh - “It’s for you” Ireland 2010

Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. 

I want to BELIAMH IN NIAMH as much as any self-respecting insane eurofag, but bringing back a great winner to give her THIS song, no, it’s not to my tastes at all. 😠

However, I kind of appreciate it on an academic level? As much as “Feel the passion” is a showcase of Albania, so much is “It’s for you” one of Ireland: Talented vocalists, a pleasant/inoffensive sound, a faint charity angle. Oh, and all in the package of a really boring song/non-act. 🤭 Yup. Sounds very Irish to me. 🤭 ☘ 

And now Mum is Dad, you’re gorgeous too, come and soar, I owe you.

________________________________________________________________

242. Nadine Beiler - “The secret is love” Austria 2011

If “What if Whitney Houston were white 🌚” were ever a question anyone would want to be asking, well, Nadine provides the answer anyway! She’s perfectly servicable! She sings well and doesn’t drag out her song needlessly. Not bad for an tribute act. 🙃

________________________________________________________________

241. Sergey Lazarev - “You are the only one” Russia 2016

That’s right, I don’t even like original Sergey entry. Are you in tears? Well, too bad for you, I’m not changing my mind. 😊 RIP at least 74% of my follower count as a result of this update~

I’m kind of struggling how to even tackle this write-up? Humorous? In-your-face? Sassy? Smug? I suppose I’ll keep it honest and academic, because “You are the only one” is fairly good on the surface, but nevertheless, it has... problems.

“You are the only one” is, in my opinion, the most overrated entry in this entire decade. You see, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. It’s very competent. 

However, I... don’t care about competence? I care about real humans that do *really human* things, by which I mean the Tamaras, the Elenii, the Månses, the Polinae: Talented actors who are able to sell their great songs through the sheer force of ~*P E R S O N A L I T Y*~ instead of pure technical singing ability.  

“You are the only one” couldn’t be further away from that ideal for me. It misses something I hold very dear and that thing is authenticity. It lacks quirkiness. It is too perfect and that I find very unsettling. Russia’s entries lack that genuine disarming charm that many winners have and that is why they fail so badly at winning Eurovision, despite always being well-liked. 

(ofc Russia being political assholes and shamless hypocrites and colluding blowhard bullies also factors into that, but I believe Eurovision is mostly apolitical in its decision making. If Eurovision were a political game, I’d imagine Russia would do significantly worse, in every year) Besides this, I think the staging is... really not that great either, WHOOPS. The act itself is a spectacle, but (1) it’s very clearly trying to impersonate “Heroes” and fuck that lack of creative direction (2) “You are the only one” is actually a well-composed song. It’s a clear hit. It sells itself. Especially when in the hands of Sergey Lazarev. 

However, because the act pulls *VERY* hard into these tryhard visual effects it doesn’t need, the song becomes background noise facilitating the act, instead of the other way around and this I think is a really bad take on staging. Songs, not staging, are what wins Eurovision, but only if they’re good. Staging, not songs, is what can cause losses, but only if it’s bad. I don’t believe ‘Staging’ and ‘Song’ should compete with each other for attention, no matter how effective that strategy is as drawing in an audience. They should compliment each other and if a song is great, the staging should be simple.

So yeah overall, I am ranking Sergey right *here*, in the anonymous spot of 241st, with zero regrets. I have no emotions about him whatsoever beyond the academic “he is competent”; Russia tried way too hard to win and the overal result kind of sucks. And you know what else sucks? THUNDER AND LIGHTNING IT’S VERY EXCITING. 😈 Yes! That’s right. I dont even like that STUPID CATCHPHRASE!! HA! HAHA! HAHAHA! HAHAAHHAA! HHAAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHHAAAA!!!
