Late Late Eurosong tomorrow.

"Go Tobann" by Ailsha is a massive fan favourite, and yeah right that song damn is, but I have a feeling that if chosen, then it might just not do as well as it sets out to. The song's production is noisy, with a lot of processing or overfiltering not making me understand what's going on very well; I mean yeah it's epic and all that but there's just too much happening all at once, in a song that's 2:24 minutes.

I would like to not have it fail because of trying something different than usual (a la Germany last year), but I don't have my hopes up 100% high.

I'd be still not minding it winning the Irish NF. My favourite is "Let Me Be the Fire" by Isabella Kearney, but I stand for Ireland trying.

Sweet dreams are made of this

Don’t be fooled by the appearances, this isn’t Marco Bengoni, just a fanart inspired by his performance on stage during the Grand Final except with some other bearded and tattooed queer western coast italian guy in his 30´s with a first name that starts with « Marc » and ends with « -o »

Just,, Totally different I swear, we're talking GTA Roleplaying here

Clip of the guy singing in his native language just because I can

wips under the cut

#Also also tumblr being tumblr i learnt that mister mengoni dubbed the onceler in italian #and i think it's funny not only because of the obvious but also because i very clearly remember being obssessed with #the how bad can i be song SPECIFICALLY in italian when i was a kid for some fucking reason #so looks i knew about this guy for way longer than what i thought #RPZ #esc #eurovision 2023 #lgbtq+ #Marcello Capone #ah yes the two genders #wip #lens blur and bokeh my beloved #my art

I don't get why people are saying this year is a weak one.

I mean, there are very few songs that got me completely obsessed, but a lot of good songs that certainly have something.

And that's actually what I like about this year. I've seen so many different rankings and I don't agree with most of them, but I get where they are coming from.

#esc 2023 #eurovision #also a lot of songs I thought only I would like because of my weird niche taste are loved by a lot of people #because almost every song is liked by someone #also people need to realize that not every year can be like 2021 #there I said it

this!!! like I was thinking the other day of, if I get to go to a paramore concert in other country I should bring a spanish flag so they could see where I'm from, but immediately that thought was discarded because it would be just extremely weird for me? and discomforting? idk i'd rather bring a madrid flag even if no one would recognize it

#tiktok #it's a pretty wild thought honestly i'd imagine it happens in other countries but i haven't seen it #like the only times i would genuinely fly a spanish flags would be in eurovision and like if we win the workd cup or something like that #even if i were to live abroad and wanted a flag to represent where i cane from i wouldn't choose the spanish flag #i would feel extremely uncomfortable having it #i'd rather hang my madrid flag or one from la mancha or andalucia #or even a republican flag although that obe could be harder to find

omg your tags on the reblog of my post - that's word for word how i feel and i HATE it, things have felt artificial to me since 1989, reputation was better but ever since lover it's felt like that 1000x more idk.. it just sucks but yeah you're not the only one feeling that way :')

THANK YOU! It's really nice to see that someone else has been feeling this way and I really begun to think deeply into why I feel like this. And you're right, it has really been since rep that it has felt... idk, less authentic.

I remember during the red and 1989 era, taylor was doing a lot of shit that actually showed how much she loved us. And by all means, she didn't have to, but it was little things such as the hidden notes in her album lyric books that made me feel a bit more connected to her. Not to mention stuff like swiftmas, the secret sessions and of course t-party all made us feel like one big family and that she was actually thankful for us. She didn't gain anything out of this, it was all "for the fans" and it made being a swiftie loads of fun, especially those hidden messages, which lbr costed nothing to keep doing. (1989 was her last i think)

Nowadays, when she does it, it feels more calculated and less authentic and I get maybe it's a safety thing that she can't do secret sessions and swiftmas etc anymore, but now even when she does things for the fans, it's stuff like releasing loads of versions of the one album so we all buy it (see, the midnight clock), and because we have this relationship we built up with her, we feel we owe our loyalty. It feels like she does these things to show she cares, but she wants our money in return. And believe me, there's other ways you can show it. The wiping of her social media defs slightly killed her authenticity, I think. Even though I understand why she did it, it certainly didnt help her relationship with the fans or it's authenticity. I do believe she still is thankful for us, but I can't help but notice the business aspect creeping in, and I just wish a lot of swifties knew you don't have to buy in to it. She's human, she has flaws, you don't have to always defend her, or buy her merch. It's almost business at this point, and I hate it.

I hate it. And I hate it more because I almost understand why its like this.

#during red taylor could say she was thankful for us and i would believe her #now i believe her but with a hefty grain of salt!!! #i do think the merch thing can also be an issue with swifties bc apparently if you don’t own her merch #or buy all 55 copies of folklore you’re not a fan #i had a friend who was constantly telling me i was less of a fan and she always wanted my merch #the merch was my red tee from when she was in sydney and even then that brings up something else because her merch quality has gone down #and the prices have gone up and that shirt from 2013 has survived. i mean it is defs aging but it's survived the trenches #but like taylor is fully playing into this and ppl fall for it bc she apparently loves us #i may have been 12 then but at least it didn’t feel like she was constantly trying to get me to buy shit #there were lots if bad things about being a swiftie then but hey at least Taylor’s love actually felt genuine!!! #and not like she wanted my money as well as my loyal #loyalty** wow lekker bezig vandaag #also i do buy her albums on cd but thats more a me thing its a tradition with a friend i had that i plan on continuing with speak now tv #bc i like owning physical copies #also sometimes i struggle with organising my thoughts so i hope that all makes sense and nothing is lost #english is my first language i just am slightly neurodivergent #i only just organised my thoughts on loreens eurovision win. im still sad abt it but im happy for her. #also hello fellow southern hemisphere person!!

rolling stone's list of top 500 albums of all time etc and lists like it are subjective and i do get that and i'm not gonna be like well MY favourite album is not on here so this is a bad list but only 2 of the albums on the version i saw were not in english (that i could tell) and like. ok. i get that not everyone has the same musical interests as i do and it's not like i'm expecting everyone to listen to all music before making that kind of thing but. i feel like people can overlook stuff so easily just because we don't get very much exposure to non-anglophone music (in anglophone countries that is but i'm mainly looking at you us/uk) and so much of it is so so good and again i know it's subjective but is your list really the greatest of all time if it only includes 2 albums from non-anglophone artists

#i think it's good for people to listen to music from other places actually. when i get my spotify/youtube/second tumblr off the ground its #over for all of you. but seriously i know it's difficult to find that stuff but like. radiooooo (i think is the website) or hell even the #spotify charts for different countries are Right There. there is so much music in the world and its fun to listen to stuff that's different #neon has thoughts #neon talks music #only thing the mcu is doing that i enjoy rn is the occasional credit song in a different language. i have fun with it #if you want recs i always have them. and again i do have a very specific musical interest but like. pick a eurovision act you like and go #to related artists. liet international. again spotify charts. there's a lot out there if you look for it! #anyway. thoughts for this morning #rolling stone is american so it does make sense but. still. i am just thinking. #anyway ibn el leil 2015 isn't on the list so clearly it's flawed #(i am kidding but not about the main point) #the albums i believe were el mal querer and dónde están las ladrones

[krogans-give-the-best-cuddles]

Lmao on that post where the person is like "europeans need to admit they can suck too without joking about children dying in america" a bunch of people are like "yeah maybe i suck sometimes but americans shoot each other so ha ha!"

I think they think OP is an American but they aren't. They're from south asia so like. People directly harmed by ALL of our countries fucking meddling. And they're essentially saying "if you guys can't take a joke without laughing about the death of children how tf are you gonna confront the actual problems in your country"

And the answer all these europeans gave was "we won't". Like I'm not surprised bc we are all white people here (not seen a single poc pull this shit) and we all know how fucking defensive we get when faced with a single ounce of not being treated like the Perfect Specialest Winners. Americans do this ra ra usa shit all the time too. But I think their is a higher number of white americans who like. Pay attention to the effects of colonialism bc we have to face more people affected by it in our day to day (in general) than a swede who only remembered Syria existed starting like 2014. There are studies that simply being around more people different than you can make it easier to relate to them, so no one's surprised when a white American from a small town filled w only white people is ignorant or racist.

The only thing here is that same white person from a similarly diverse area in Northern Europe points and titters at the white American like "oh ho ho racism! Look at what those stupid americans are doing!" As if there aren't Romani people living in their own country them actively being discriminated against and losing their rights. As if there is no anti black racism in their community when they have a little blackface parade with the local blackface character.

And if you call them on it they're like "ha ha children are dying in your country!"

#krogans thoughts #idk i guess my thoughts are. when i learn about racism in europe im like damn they gotta work on it just like us #and uh white europeans just. dont learn about racism in the place they live #instead they get angry someone made a joke about their food (after centuries of them oppressing the world) #and immediately jump to 'well at least we dont have mass death! i think its funny when children die in ur country' #like i always want to respond to those with just pages of the vilest shit their country has done historically and is doing today. #bc it seems like theyre resting on their laurels (which they only got from profitting off of slavery and genocide too much) #but you cant. bc if you do you play into what they think is going on #they think its some little popularity contest with like the same importance as eurovision #something to get nationalistic over and complain about. #and they have a fundamental privilege of their children not regularly dying in mass shootings so to them its not real in the same way. #its just part of the nationalistic gamr #so if you try to take it srsly and be like 'true but you also have these problems the same way as we do' #they will just be like 'well racism is worse in the us' bc they are still thinking this is a fucking competition. #the northern europeans get to dictate this conversation the same way as usual. by refusing to engage in these things as they are #instead making it this fun lil nationalism game. #they never have to think about where their wealth comes from #which... is not unique. my southern us white grandma does the same thing all the time #but i think this is an interesting way to see it function. #the people who created the problems (racism imperialism colonialism) get to control the conversation about it entirely #and in new inventive ways like changing it into a fucking body count game where the one with the least can still be nationalistic #instead of just saying 'haha yeah my ancestors DIDNT use all the spice they stole from the world' they get it more serious #bring out child death. and if you respond in kind. well now we are all playing the body count game #and the european is still not owning up to the legacy they were given by their ancestors #no winning. just an endless squabble that treats anything srs as as important as whether or not u feed guests
