28 DE ENERO DE 2025 “Check your ego at the door” POR: VÍCTOR MANUEL REYES FERRIZ ¿Recuerdas cómo era tu vida hace 40 años?, ¿Recuerdas qué hacías en 1985?, ¿Puedes recordar lo que era vivir en un mundo mucho más aislado que en el que transitamos hoy en día?, ¿Cómo te enterabas de lo que sucedía en el mundo?, bueno pues hoy intentaré llevarlos a un momento específico que, en lo personal, me pone…

Me despierto y veo en mi móvil [por las impresiones de pantalla que hice hace un par de dias por los BOMB_EROS del 11_$ que iban a una MUERTE SEGURA sin poder hacer NADA].. la frase del MEMORIAL al 11_$ " No Day Shall Erase You From the Memory of Time.” This quote from Book IX of "The Aeneid" by the Roman poet Virgil suggests the transformative potential of remembrance and is indicative of the museum's mission to honor and remember the victims of the attacks of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993.

..y al buscar sobre Virgilio me entero que había un diseñador procedente de una Tribu de AFRICA [fue diseñador de LOUIS VUITTON , Nike, IKEA, colaboro con rapero KATE WEST, vistió a SERERNA WILLIAMS, RIAHNNA,..] que murió con 41 años el día de mi año 50 por el que quedé con VIRGINIA MAESTRO en la cabina del video DEL SUR [que empieza con LA GLORIA DE GANAR FUE SOLO UN RUMOR] del cd HOMONIMO como la CRUZ grabado en NASHVILLE [donde llegue día que ganó su 1er Grammy DESTINY HOPE alias MI_LEY CYRUS nacida en un suburbio de NASHVILLE como es FRANKYN ..por una canción de desamor como FLOWERS tras su divorcio] o cuando murio de CANCER con 61 años ALMUDENA GRANDES que debuto con la novela erotica LAS EDADES DE LULU que llevo al CINE bigas LUNA que murió de LEUCEMIA cuando preparaba la película Post_Apocaliptica SEGUNDO ORIGEN [basada en la novela homónima Catalana] ambientada en BARCELONA donde sale el Nou Camp destruido y en cuyos Banquillos un adolescente negro se folla a una profesora de INGLES para que continue una nueva humanidad al ser los únicos supervivientes.

"El 28 de noviembre de 2021, Virgil falleció debido a un tipo de cáncer agresivo, el angiosarcoma, enfermedad que mantuvo en privado desde su diagnóstico en 2019 y para la que se sometió a diferentes tipos de tratamientos."

14. Cyprus

Eleni Foureira - “Fuego” Runner-up

What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing and that resistance is overcome. --Friedrich Nietzsche

Judging by that quote, Eleni must be a very happy woman because she has overcome a LOT. She entered Eurovision with a slew of drawbacks: As a sexually confident woman with a sultry song, she was always going to inspire contempt. As a fugitive Albanian, the Greek support other Cypriot entries had would be only conditional for Eleni at best. Her voice (or apparent lack thereof), of course, was a major point of discussion, among Greeks and Eurovision Tumblr Bloggers alike (ahem). As someone who was hyped and pimped by her Loud Obnoxious Fanbase as someone better than she actually was, she was always going to alienate neutrals by proxy.

So going into this year, Eleni faced a fairly uphill battle. Guess what?

She fucking slayed it.

From the moment this woman, no, this GAZELLE, serenly glided onto the stage, unfazed, confident and battle-ready, she was snatching weaves left, right and centre. Any man would pay the price of sweet surrender, for the promise in her eyes it was so tender. She provided a action-pumped show that was captivating, mesmerizing even, for a full three minutes. My God, did “Fuego” look good. 

Out of all the acts that could’ve won the Sasha Jean-Baptiste Raffle, I’m glad “Fuego” did because Eleni absolutely was the one whom I felt needed it the most. Partially because Eleni is an utter gem of a person. She’s the epitome of the Lovable Dimwit Archetype (”Eleni what does your song mean?” “it means... yeah yeah, fire ^__^”) Mostly because Eleni had two pretty big problems: She has a fairly crappy voice and she has a fairly crappy song.

The voice I don’t mind though. Yeah, it’s not as crisp as the rest of the top five (literally crisp if we count Moro’s, whose voice sounds like someone crushing doritos with their bare hands), but Eleni’s vocals being shit was telegraphed way in advance so idek how you could be shocked at this fucking stage. For all the buzz it generated, I expected way worse? Eleni’s vocals don’t detract from the experience and at times even enhance it. Her voice just... withers at the funniest of moments:

And then the disaster note gets echoed around the Altice Arena TWICE <3 (also “Yeah Eyes of a Linus <3)

The song, however, I mind significantly more. Surely Cyprus made the most out of what they were given and “Fuego” was an excellent frame for that brilliant act, but Dear God. I’ve said it several times before, but “Fuego” would make an excellent winner in two-thousand-and-EIGHT, but not two-thousand-and-fucking-EIGHTEEN. Even by Eurovision’s hopelessly antiquated Musical standards (”Hey guys we found out about this CRAZE that’s sweeping the musical scene we should add it to all our entries” “what’s it called?” “Dubstep” -- Eurovision in 2013), “Fuego” is hopelessly dated. It’s a nice throwback to the halcyon days of the Eastern Miniskirted Goddess (and “Fuego” is better than, say, “Secret Combination” and “Düm Tek Tek”), but this is not even remotely near “My Number One”, “Qele Qele” or “Shady Lady” levels of glorious hip-shaking femdom imo. 

“Fuego”’s utter lack of originality also came to the attention of the Eurosnobs who began disliking Eleni for... the fucking wrongest, stupidest reasons why am I not surprised? “UM SHE’S LIKE BEYONCE HOW AWFUL” First of all, Beyoncé doesn’t fucking have a monopoly on this type of music, Second of all, you’re making it sound as if being like Queen Bay is a bad thing??? Third of all,  STFUUUU!!! WHY EVEN WATCH EUROVISION IF YOU’RE NOT WILLING TO BASK IN THE GLORY OF THIS DESPERATE SLUTPOP ANTHEM

At the end of the gay, I really like “Fuego”. Well, that is to say, I like what it became on the Eurovision stage, but that’s ultimately what matters most. Despite the hate she got, Eleni absolutely deserved to finish as high as she did based on her live performances. On the flipside, if I were to never listen to “Fuego” again, I wouldn’t miss it, at all. Now that we’re ready to fully move on to the next tier, I do have *higher* “spam replay button on Youtube” standards that “Fuego” sadly, does not meet. STILL A BETTER UNDERDOG STORY THAN NETTA THO

FOOTNOTES

1) I would argue that Eleni probably had the best underdog story out of everyone this year. This year had plenty of them, many of which are still in this ranking (Ieva, Eugent, DoReDoS, etc), but there really is something to be said about the constant barrage of persecution, xenophobia and mockery Eleni had to deal with and overcome in both LIFE and this contest. Pity she wasn’t a chicken woman or it would’ve won her the contest.

2) In case anyone wonders, I was pretty much “France or Estonia or DIE” for pretty much the entire season, so as you can imagine, I wasn’t too impressed with the top five we got (um, yeah not like I didn’t already boot 4/5 of them lul) Out of the DIRE top five we were given, Eleni probably should have won? (I loved Germany -obviousspoiler- but moreso because they didn’t win) Ugh I can’t with this year sometimes.
