indonesian, japanese, and hungarian is quite the lovely set of languages there! what draws you to each of these languages?

one of my dearest friends is indonesian and I wish I could speak with her in her language! japanese sounds lovely and I like the honorifics aspect of it, so much so that it was one of my main reasons to learn it. and in my opinion hungarian is the prettiest language out there; i love how it sounds and feels and it's so !!!! ever since i heard some music done in it, courtesy of eurovision, i've fallen in love with it (specifically 2018 with AWS and viszlat nyar)

I still listen to viszlat nyar by aws on an at least weekly basis and it absolutely WRECKS me to think about how their lead singer Örs died from leukemia at just 29

#that's so young and it happened SO quickly #terrifying #possibly the one song from eurovision that has been in my playlist for the longest and I never skip it #Eurovision 2018 #Hungary

Eurovision 2010s: 60 - 56

60. Emma - La mia città Italy 2014 

Emma is short for “Emmanuella”. 😍 Clearly the inspiration for this act:

You may not know this, but “La mia citta” is probably my favourite song out of 2014? It’s ROCKIN’ A RIDE (na na na na na na) of high voltage energy that I instantly became addicted to.  😍 Of course we were also immediately forewarned that Emma couldn’t sing her own song (which is hilarious, but yeah  😬)  so I was expecting a ready disappointment.  What I did NOT expect however was that Italy would yank UP the fun factor by trapping Emma into the direct-to-video sequel of Tinto Brass’s Caligula and letting her steal the show even more. 😍 ITALY <3 <3 <3 

The vocals may have been beyond subpar, but Emma flailing herself around the stage, contorting her body in IMPOSSIBLE angles, dismissively pushing the beta manfolk around like the boss she is gives me SO MUCH LIFE. If she had sung in a key that suited both her voice and the song, she would’ve ranked even higher, but a spot right outside of the highest tier will have to do. ALL HAIL THE EMPRESS OF TERRIBLE TASTE.

59. AWS - “Viszlát nyár” Hungary 2018

[2018 Review here]

GIVE ME FIRE, I’M A FIGHTER!

2018 may not have been as great of an experience for me as it has been for many others, but good god did it NEED AWS. A 2018 without AWS has no high voltage, uptempo, loud, aggro ENERGY. “But Boris there’s also Toy” yeah no. Na na banana I do what I wanna :-) 

and honestly, why shouldn’t we love “Viszlát nyar”? Loss songs that instead of mourning solemnly burst into a primordial tempest of ire and flame. IT’S INTENSE, all thanks to Orz’s excellent performance. 

and this comes WITHOUT the consideration that AWS were the backstage deities for the 2018 contest as well, providing many hilarious interviews and other moments of levity. 

AWS were great, because they weren’t a typical Eurovision entry. They are an indie metal band from Hungary that won A Dal by accident and in doing so were thrusted into an adventure beyond their wildest expectations. They never took Eurovision seriously, but regardless they had loads of fun with it and so did I. We will continue this line of thought when we get to a certain deadpan Slovene duo, much, much later in this ranking. 🤭

58. Loïc Nottet - “Rhythm inside” Belgium 2015

Cutting Loïc means I have my change my t-shirt into the one my friend gave me for my 25th birthday (😍)

and I mean what is there to say about Loïc? He’s widely regarded as one of the most artistic and memorable entrants in recent years, sparking a hot streak of entries which ended when Sennek refused to rehearse her song/come up with an act. 

I may as well use this moment for a little confession: Avant Garde is one of my favourite Eurovision genres. AG entries are always interesting, always delivering, always different from what we’re used to. They are brave and inspired. When well-executed they can easily becomes some of the all-time best Eurovision entries.

“Rhythm inside” also falls into the category, taking a fairly simple subject (the beating of the human heart) and turning it into a metaphilosophical journey of discovery, star matter and mindblowiness. Loïc launched “Rhythm” into greatness, providing excellent vocals, dancing and miming. 

and also like all amazing things in life, it contains a small dose of SuRie: 

However, avant garde often comes with one massive problem: poorly-executed AG tends to frame every twirl, fart and headturn as a testament of some highly ~artistic vision~ when it adds nothing of value. In other words, fuckin’ meaningitis. “Rhythm inside” is actually one of the worst offenders, imo. For every epic moment of Loïc gazing into the camera or twirling around like an ebon cygnet, we get a tryhard one in which somebody lays themselves down and starts kicking their feet into the air for no reason and *sigh*. 

It saddens me that  “Rhythm inside”, despite being a very innovative composition that explores the boundaries of music, tries too hard to sell its own artistry and well... it is that moment of self-doubt which prevents me from ranking it inside the elite tier. BELIEVE IN AND LOVE THYSELF!!!

________________________________________________________________

57.  Madame Monsieur - “Mercy” France 2018

[2018 Review Here]

Every year is defined by its political zeitgeist, and in 2018 there were two defining themes: #MeToo, covered by “Toy”, and “Transmigration” covered by Madame Monsieur. I soon was convinced one of them would win 2018, which happened, but sadly it was the weaker of the two entrants 😭

Regardless, Madame Monsieur deserve all the praise they can get. It is SO easy to take a topic such as “migration” and turn it into an Americanized story of Wrong And Right. It’s SO easy to turn it into a sob story. It’s SO easy to cheapen the plight over others for self-gain. It is important to remain authentic, austere and respectful. 

Which is exactly that Madame Monsieur did. 

Using a peppy synthpop beat as a platform to carry their haunting lyrics (”je suis ces enfant que la mer a pris” ::shivers::), Emilie and Jean-Karl turn “Mercy”, a tribute to a baby born at sea to refugee parents, into a true humanitarian hymn, focusing on their message and letting this speak for itself. The end result is pretty potent. THE SEA OF FISTBUMPS <3

So naturally I really fucking love “Mercy”. However, I also think it was lacking in the little area of staging. While I do think the intent of keeping it sober and free of gimmicks was a clever coice, the gut-punching message didn’t exactly come across.

The act was too subtle. It’s the Hassani story of France getting outclassed by Italy at the last second, but much stronger than with Bilal. I don’t think the lack of LEDs was the issue though, like, just bring stage props? Work the camera more? It sucks that I have to nitpick so close to the highest tier, but the fact that I do proves to me that “Mercy” can’t make it that far. RIP sweet synth angels.

56. DiHaj - “Skeletons” Azerbaijan 2017

[2017 Review here] Another lovable avant garde angel, morph! DiHaj improved quite a bit for me on the rewatch, but I can’t let her move onto the elite tier for reasons that I think are obvious. (If they are not, please unmute your computer.)

HOWEVER, I do think “Skeletons” a great, dark moody song that is highly entertaining. It is, for the most part a great example of how to do novelty at Eurovision: It displays the greatest strength of modern Azerbaijan: the visually stunning SPECTACLE. Music is supposed to a form of expression and DiHaj goes ALL OUT.

Of course, I understand that the act isn’t to everyone’s taste and it does suffer a *little* bit from Fuckin’Meaningitis™ , which is fair enough. At the same time... the story told here is pretty obvious? There is no dispute that this song is about a broken relationship and the moral dilemma that often comes with it. Azerbaijan stuck with the source material provided by the song and that makes Skellingtons’ act much better than that of “Rhythm inside”. It’s a captivating story, because it makes sense. 

Too bad those Professional Swedish Backings sounded like crap tho...x

And that was the last of Azerbaijan,

After a pretty terrible start of the decade, Azerbaijan reinvented themselves as trash angels and the rest is herstory. I hope they continue to dazzle us with ridiculousness in the years to come. 😍

The Another ESC Site Award for an Angry, Angry Man

For an explanation of the points process, click on this link.

The Hungarians should be proud. For the second year, they have had a native language entry. In the semi finals, Hungarian has a 100% qualification record with qualification also in 2005, and 2013 as well as 2017. The lyrics of the song are quite graphic in their language and it paints a picture that could relate to a break up, a loss of innocence or the death of someone special. There is a wide range of emotions that go with it and I like that it is open to interpretation.

It’s difficult to judge this song on vocals. It felt like the performance in the semi final was better than the final. In the final it seemed as if Ors didn’t get into it until after the big scream, but that could be just me. The performance otherwise was excellent. The fire added to the feeling, the way everyone interacted suited the attitude of the song.

Eurovision 2018 preshow #05

05. Hungary

I have to be more careful of where I write my entries. I’m scared to accidentally unplug my headphones and blast Hungarian Hardcore through the campus library hallways. (though it wouldn’t be too embarrassing - I once had the same thing happen while listening to the opening credits of Survivor :eek:)

Anyway, AWS. Hardcore punk/metal in Hungarian is a massive acquired taste, but I’m happy to have acquired it. From the moment the A Dál finale rolled on, I WANTED AWS to win and never looked back. AWS are a great addition to the Eurovision cannon because they fly in the face of ALL things Eurovision. Like, it almost feels as if they entered A Dál as a bet more than anything because holy hell they just don’t give a FUCK <3 All of this of course instantly made them Public Enemy #1 of the Basics AND the Snobs; if that isn’t a clear sign of greatness, I don’t know what is. 

AWS are also great because of their backstory. The song deals with the tragic passing of Örs’s (= lead singer/screamer) father, Completing the Loss trilogy with “O Jardim” and “You let me walk alone” Out of the three, I prefer AWS’s take because literally SCREAMING OUT YOUR GRIEF is the most primordial force of emotion I can think of. So raw, so real. <3

Aaand since we’re nearing rehearsals, more backstage content has been coming out and AWS are one of the STARS (along with Lea, ZiBBZ and, weirdly enough, Vanja Radovanovic). Áron, Örs and Soma are DELIVERING in the few interviews/clips they’re featured in. (no footage on Bence or Daniel YET but if you hang out with the other three you definitely have GREAT taste in human beings)

So if you have 18 minutes, kindly watch this Wiwibloggs vid in which Áron and Soma react to their fellow competitors (or rather: watch Áron overreact while Soma is slowly dying on the inside <3) while I cook up their Qualification Odds:

Qualification Odds: Good/Locked

AWS’s only competition in their semifinal is Romania’s tepid rock song. Nuff said?

As with Saara, Rasmussen and Cesar, people really have been sleeping on AWS, Although, this is mostly because AWS’s fans are introverts who don’t feel like aggressively proliferating their opinions left, right and center or metalheads who tune in on Finale Nights but generally don’t bother with the pre-show. I suspect the AWS haters actually represent a very vocal minority, as opposed to the silent majority that actually like them. 

As such I think their accepted status as a borderline qualifier greatly underrates their potential to do really well. I have always assumed they would be in the final and nothing happened to dissuade me yet. Even with a mediocre 13th position in that semifinal they’re easily getting enough televote support (I’m kinda surprised AWS don’t close the semi, but I suspect Christer is saving them to either open or close the Grand Final instead, which... salivating at the thought, tbh)

Jury or televote? Televote

Without question. Hard Rock, Punk and Metal always accumulate a MASSIVE amount of televote support and this won’t be any different. Not to mention Hungary are also a nation which traditionally garner a lot of televotes anyway. 

However, something people often seem to forget is that those genres also have a lot of built-in jury support as well, especially from jurors with a rock background. “Alter ego”, “Midnight gold”, “Something better” all held their own in the jury vote, the only flop being the fairly insipid “Time.”

Projected placement: 3rd-6th in the semifinal, 8th-15th in the Grand Final (depending on their draw)
