Round 2 Side B

I like bananas (because they have no bones): The blog runne'rs one choice. i put this in because it's the song that is the entire reason this bracket exist, they truly were singing about some wild shit even back in the 30's. if you like this blog then consider voting for this song because THEY LIKE BANANAS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO BONES

in corpore sano: In Corpore Sano was the Serbian Eurovision entry in 2022. I think that when a lot of people think of Eurovision, they think of key changes and big pop songs about love, so a song like this is a huge song of whiplash. It's essentially a critique of the Serbian healthcare system, but also - and more importantly - about peoples' obsession with health. It's about how people become so, so obsessed with their body and having a healthy body - diets, exercise, you know - that they become depressed and obsessive. The song ends by saying: "Corpus je sanum i šta ćemo sad? Mens infirma in corpore sano Animus tristis in corpore sano Mens desperata in corpore sano Mens conterrita in corpore sano I šta ćemo sad?" Which translates to "The body is healthy, so what do we do now? A sick mind in a healthy body A sad soul in a healthy body A desperate mind in a healthy body A frightened mind in a healthy body So what do we do now?" The performance used religious imagery, and people have talked about how it also shows that mental health problems are often dismissed in parts of Serbia and are said to be cured with religion, but for the most part, it's about the focus on having a healthy body. But in terms of the actual music? It's weird as fuck as well. I think it's near to impossible to place this song in a standard genre. Google told me the genres are Indian Film Pop and Classical? Wikipedia told me it's avante-pop and art pop which is probably what I would have described it as, but my god it's one of the weirdest and most brilliant songs ever.

monsieur: Song is from the POV of a Butler (or some other domestic servant). He describes his master as someone respected by neighbors, liked by animals, who cheers up a crying child and helps a blind man crossing a street. This master tends to roses, and sometimes, he kills people. This butler narrator is working for a serial killer. He seems totally fine with cleaning up crime scenes and other related duties. He also sounds pretty respectful of the "Monsieur" he's working for. At the end of the song, the "Monsieur" gets hanged and the narrator, now jobless, asks the judge who condemned his late master to hire him as a servant.

Eurovision 2022: #02 & #01

02. SPAIN Chanel - “SloMo” 3rd place

Decade Ranking: 3/79 [above Daði Freyr, below Konstrakta]

LET’S GO!

At last, I get to show my TRUE CHANEL STAN COLOURS <333333 I mean, i’m sorry for those who aren’t a fan, but SloMo was incredibly good. Chanel succeeds like no other where recent girlbosses like Eleni and Hurricane have failed - she brings out my inner squealing f*ggot and I LOVED every second in me. 

TAKE A VIDEO, WATCH IT SLO MO MO MO MO

BOOTY HYPNOTIC, MAKE ME WANT MO MO MO MO Just when you think you’ve outgrown the vapid bangers, Chanel surges forwards as a human conduit of rainbow energy and leaves you scalped and gagged and eaten. The definition of PUSSY. SLAY. CUNT. 

Y no se confundan, señoras y señores, “SloMo” is not that great of a song, I recognize that. It’s a 7/10 J-Lo reject and you can tell.  It easily could have veered into Sekret territory and become an embarrassing debaucherous cumdumpsterfire. 

But it didn’t. 🙂 

Because Chanel wouldn’t allow it. Which is impressive given her journey. See, this is another area where Chanel obseletes the Elenii and Hurricanes of this world - she was an underdog all the way through - The Spaintards (not to be confused with “Eurovision fans from Spain”) have long since forgotten but they used to loathe Chanel for daring to beat Tanxugueiras (really, her?) and Rigoberta (kinda valid at the time, but less so now obv), hurled abuse at her in a ploy to force her to quit, and when that didn’t work angrily groused RTVE to make JURIES LESS POWERFUL so a disaster like this couldn’t happen again!!! There’s a reason Chanel no longer wants to perform SloMo and wishes to move on in her life, and honestly, same girl re: ESC2022.

 In spite of all that, Chanel remained motivated and chipper put in all the effort of the world at every single performance, and unlike Cornelia improved every time. You may not like it, but THIS is what peak performance looks like. 

Was this the best live performance of all times? The fact that I’m considering it should tell you enough. It’s definitely the best live performance of a Girlbanger For The Gays since “My Number One”. Numbers do not lie. THIRD in the jury vote, THIRD in the televote, THIRD overall. 

The best part is that I did NOT see it coming? Like going into the finale, it was clear Kalush and Cornelia would come top five, and having seen the rehearsal footage, I was confident Konstrakta and Sam join them as well. I NEVER saw Chanel’s top five coming. I was convinced, cynic that I am, that she would be my default Doomed Favourite and that Brividi would eat her TV alive and the juries would ignore her. Instead, she demolished Blahmood and Blancunt, and left no crumbs. 

Afterwards, Chanel casually fanned herself as golden sparks flowed from the ceiling, a visual representation of her arch. She knew right then and there that she’d NAILED it and made herself proud.

“SloMo” was the pinacle of achievement in this year, a tale of overcoming adversity, working hard and tirelessly to accomplish be as best as you can be and proof that, no matter how deep your depths get, even the shittiest countries can accomplish great things if they keep on trying. It was #Inspiring. But above anything, it was mostly three minutes of unbrindled trashy fun that makes me SQUEAL in gayvoice. #GayPowersRestored.

And now she is THE MOST POPULAR / BEST ESC ENTRY OF ALL TIMES, as per ESCRadio’s top 250. I should hate this given what it implies about Chanel’s fanbase and also fuck Chanel’s fanbase, but I enjoyed SloMo more than Euphoria anyway, so... i... actually... agree with the results. HA HAHA HA HA HAA HAHA HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!

and now for a #1 that hopefully surprises nobody.

#01. SERBIA Konstrakta - “In corpore sano” 5th place

Decade Ranking: 2/79 [Above Chanel, below Shum]

 ~OnaS eroProC Ni SomRefNe SneM~

WHAT COULD BE THE SECRET BEHIND THE PHENOMENON KONSTRAKTA? 

WHAT COULD IT BE?

WHAT COULD BE THE SECRET BEHIND THE PHENOMENON KONSTRAKTA?

WHAT COULD IT BE?

WHAT COULD BE THE SECRET?

I believe the answer lies in a stroke of brilliance. 🙂 It’s honestly near impossible to unspool “In corpore sano” and all of its layers in words because *everything* interlocks with each other perfectly. But we all know WHY we’re here

👏 BITI ZDRAVA 👏 👏 BITI ZDRAVA 👏 👏 BITI ZDRAVA 👏 👏 BITI ZDRAVA 👏

 ✋🤚 BIT 🤚✋ BIT ✋🤚  BIT🤚✋   BIT  ✋🤚   BITI ZDRAVA 

Through the power of Soap, Friendship and Biti Zdrava, Konstrakta and her kabal of spa zealots effortlessly enrolled the entire anti-vaxx country of Serbia and its minions into her Health Cult. I couldn’t be more giddy that this went to Eurovision. How could I not be/: an underground gothic pop song, the first  Eurovision entry to use BLACK HUMOUR as its preferred means of communication.😍😍 Black humour is the best humour, so yeah anything that opens with inspecting Megan Markle’s Healthy Hair, and follows it up casually informing us that a giant spleen is undesirable and ugly and may cause the irreversible condition known as death 🙂 is InstaFave material. 

BETTER WASH MY HANDS AGAIN BEFORE I BECOME SICK. IF I GET ILL, I DIE 🙂

The real genius though comes from the fact that Konstrakta took a VERY serious concept (the lack of health insurance for all the self-employed, which in Serbia includes anyone working in the culture sector), and a VERY personal topic (the death of a close friend, who passed away because he couldn’t afford aforementioned healthcare without the insurance) and turned it into a socially-critical parody. 

“In corpore sano” may be completely in Serbian and Latin (LATIN <333333) but it is also fluent in the hidden language of Sarcasm 😍 Konstrakta nailed the exercution with her flat, deadpan demeanor and anemic delivery. This is one such a case where being as low-energy as possible works miracles. She’s the 🔥 THIS IS FINE 🔥 meme incarnated in human form. 

(or for those that have played Baldur’s Gate, she has the exact same personality and demeanor as Xan <3)

WHY DON’T I JUST SAVE MYSELF THE EFFORT AND JUST LIE DOWN AND DIE? 🙂

The dichotomy of Konstrakta praising the efficiency of the autonomous nervous system or good hydration because they help keep the body hale (finally safe! God Grant Us Health!), juxtaposed to compusively washing your hands showing that she’s ridding herself of her germs but losing the battle against her dark thoughts (I Am Left On my Own), was some galatic-level storytelling genius. It is SO impressively clever, on a level you almost never see at ESC and if you do is usually executed poorly.

Which brings us to the act. Usually songs with A Profound Hidden Meaning resort to pedantic staging full of hidden symbolism. It’s tiresome to engage with when you’re ultimately tuning into have a good time. “In corpore sano” for all its ingenuity and snark, never attempts to be smarter than it is. 

At its core ICS is Nurse Pratchett and her five patients (two twunks, two stern-faced top-knot ladies and able-bodied Peter Dinklage) acting out some Biti Zdrava nonsense, and it’s all very fascinating, occult and sinister. There’s clearly more going in, some artistic vision but do you need to understand the backstory in order to get the song? 

I don’t think so. 

The hidden depths are a nothing more than a reward for the discernible sleuth willing to learn delve more deeply, and if you don’t, you can at least still get off by hand-clapping and exfoliating. This is how highbrow staging should be done. It rewards both value seekers AND those tuning in for a good time. Hans Pancake dead in a ditch (again.)

So um yeah, overall, as you know (if you’ve followed my ranking of all 2010s songs), you know that I’ll put a clever cookie with an avant garde pearl and excellent on-point emotional delivery first in any year, at any moment. “In corpore sano” isn’t quite on the level of Shum, but I can defo say that the 2020s are now 2/2 in terms of iconic favourites 🤗 

So that’s it for the 2022 ranking. I hope you’ve enjoyed this marathon more than I did (making the gifs at the end was REALLY painful because my computer’s HDD is nearing death AND my internet is slow), in any case it’s finally OVAH!! 

Let’s hear it out ONE LAST TIME for the best entry of 2022: SERBIA:

MENS INFIRMA IN CORPORE SANO

ANIMUS TRISTIS IN CORPORE SANO

MENS DESPERTA IN CORPORE SANO

MENS CONTERRITA IN CORPORE SANO

I STA CEMO SAD?

Why, I rank 2023 of course . 🧐 Probably very quickly and in some limited capacity (maybe 5 per post again) but I should be able to finish before my birthday (08/05) which is when the first dress rehearsal footage is released. I’m off to Amsterdam for EIC though, so stay tuned for the updates if and when I get back!!!

THE RANKING:

I watched a video of Americans reacting to the Eurovision Song Contest 2022.

The moment that I found cringy and embarrassing was when a reactor was twerking to Portugal's entry, Saudade Saudade by MARO, and Serbia's entry, In Corpore Sano by Konstrakta.

Shame on you, bitch! Why the hell did you twerk on those songs?! They are only meant to clap along! Your absolutely embarrassing antics just give people more reasons why America should never ever join Eurovision.

Au travers des sessions HEALTHY EXPERIENCES Il s’agit de comprendre l’importance de CHANGER DE PRISME par le mouvement corporel &respiratoire + le vocabulaire

💯 de vigilance VOCABULAIRE en mode sophro- logique:

Cesser de dire J´AI MAL au profit de JE VAIS MAL est d’un grand secours. C’est se donner les moyens de penser autrement pour se relier à la Vie ..c’est exercer la volonté de se redresser et de gagner en maturité en autonomie.

“Dans la vie il n’y a pas pire maladie que celle à laquelle on ne peut donner de sens”

“In life there is no worse disease than the one to which we cannot give meaning"

Oui je pose ça en anglais car c’est parfois plus parlant…

Il s’agit d’ explorer beaucoup et d’ouvrir sa manière de concevoir les maladies. De s’interroger beaucoup et de mobiliser ses propres ressources..de donner du sens et de se questionner sans retomber dans un mécanisme. Trop de haut diplôme.es en sciences pullulent de partout et nient complètement la complexité et la richesse des expériences de l’humain.

L’erreur serait de continuer à concevoir qu’1 seule technique ou 1 seul médicament peut resolver 1 problème ou 1 maladie.

Un problème ou une maladie c’est souvent multi factorielle et j’ai toujours trouvé important d’élargir mes propositions et mes partenariats pour éviter les dérives.

Chaque HEALTHY EXPERIENCE que je propose sera toujours un cheminement afin que l’individu s’oriente par rapport à lui-même. Mes principes s’articulent autour et à partir de ce que l’on m’énonce et de se que je détecte..( visible invisible dit et non-dit) d’où mon expression de spirale dynamique mise en actions qui favorisent l’autonomie de guérison de chaque individu.

Normalement 1 accompagnement ou coaching permet le changement de prisme. Pour éviter d’être abusé.e il me semble nécessaire d’ajouter qu’il faut:

1/ Reconnaître qu’on ne peut pas résoudre un problème et sa guérison avec une seule technique et un seul médicament

2/ Se fier à son corps physique et à l’état de sa psyché pour éviter les prises de pouvoir abusives et les états de culpabilité.

3/ L’anamnese la recherche et le positionnement que l’on se doit d’avoir face au soignant réclame une maturité de chacun des protagonistes ( il est fondamental de ne pas se sentir infantilisé)par “son coach” … “son doc”

4/ Revoir avec honnêteté la vraie définition du mot charlatan (pour les identifier et s’en éloigner )

Charlatan définition: Personnalité qui affirme que vos manifestations sont des symptômes corporelles et ou psychiques et ou psychologiques et que ceux-ci ne peuvent être résolues que par sa technique et son savoir.

5/ Considérer que très souvent le diagnostic de départ dépend de l’état d’esprit ( le votre et celui de l’intervenant)

Ex:👉🏽 connaissez-vous l’histoire de l’oncologue et de sa patiente? Le jour J de la découverte de sa totale rémission Mme x lors de son rdv médical vient pour dire merci et au revoir à son médecin spécialisé en oncologie qui lui dit: « Oui ça a bien marché mais vu que votre cancer va revenir je vais vous prescrire un médicament » la patiente c’est retrouvée prise dans un tel choc qu’elle a développer une pneumonie dès le lendemain ..son médecin généraliste très fâché a appelé son confrère …le spécialiste en oncologie se justifia en expliquant qu’il venait de perdre sa femme d’un cancer du sein ..fin. Mais vous voyez l’affaire!? L’état d’esprit de lors d’un rdv est déterminant..donc à chacun d’en être conscient en mode “ RIEN N’EST FIGÉ “…je pense d’ailleurs que ce spécialiste n’a plus jamais dit ça!

6/ Il est important de ne pas reproduire une causalité mécanique 👉🏽 20 personnes ont mal au genoux et 1 solution identique??! Faut arrêter ça…

Non ..halte aux fidélités inconscientes et infantilisantes sachez que l’héritage du vivant est réversible

On peut se libérer des schémas qui manipulent et impactent les générations suivantes.

7/ Notre épigénie est très dynamique et donc il n’y a pas qu’une seule réplique sensible face à la diversité de nos environnements !..hormones comprises (pour l’environnement corporel )

Lors de mes sessions vous découvrirez donc des pratiques encourageantes pour:

S’autotransformer et se réhumaniser ( MDR…j’ ose c’est hyperbien en place ici 😅)

Souvent en supplément vous gagnerez 👉🏽une santé spirituelle comme repulpée dès que la ou les fausses identités ( fausse.s idée.s) sont déboulonnées le paradoxe c’est que l’on révèle un état d’être meilleur et plus enclin à l’autonomie ds tous les domaines de sa vie.

monsieur: Song is from the POV of a Butler (or some other domestic servant). He describes his master as someone respected by neighbors, liked by animals, who cheers up a crying child and helps a blind man crossing a street. This master tends to roses, and sometimes, he kills people. This butler narrator is working for a serial killer. He seems totally fine with cleaning up crime scenes and other related duties. He also sounds pretty respectful of the "Monsieur" he's working for. At the end of the song, the "Monsieur" gets hanged and the narrator, now jobless, asks the judge who condemned his late master to hire him as a servant.
