Eurovision 2022: #25 - #21

25. ARMENIA

Rosa Linn - “Snap”

20th place

youtube

Overall placement: 50/79

[Above The Black Mamba, below James Newman]

Ugh, Fine.

Time to finish this ranking turbo style! So yeah, I’m not impressed with The Biggest Eurovision Hit, which I suppose is a controversial opinion? Then again, if Rosa was so good, then why did she only make it 20th place, hmmm? 🤔🤔

When Rosa’s song leaked it sounded exactly like the type of song you’d expect DMGP to commit murder for: a frivolous, cheery pop welterweight (which somehow has the same cadence as I’m Alive by Elhaida Dani) thats easy to listen to and doesn’t get in the way of stanning better things.

At Eurovision, this was Rosa’s exact journey. She was a cute presence that was vaguely liked, and her staging supported this. (despite the staging mishaps, still pretty neat!) Don’t know what all the references in the lyrics are about, but we can pretend it added some depth and meaning, Into 20th place she went, which was a fair result for what her lovable random self brought to the table.

Then, she went viral on TikTok, which honestly is more of an “eww” than a “good on her” i m o. Okay, look, it defo does not surprise me that out of the entire 2022 catalogue this song became the viral one. TikTok viralness is a horrible metric for musical quality though. “Snap” works as a TikTok song specifcally because it doesn’t syphon attention away from whatever brainfart nonsense TikTokkers force on their feeds for a living. If you want a backing track to your “Make mac ‘n’ cheese by dumping the ingredients on a marble countertop” silliness or your indie song-singing 101 Tutorial, might as well pick something like a Snap as the accompanying backing track.

Also, I always felt the record label behind Rosa Linn was a bit too eager to get A Big Kicker on their conto. Remember when Rosa -likely on urging from her mentor Tamar Karpelian- attempted to start a respectful discussion on Twitter (oh dear) about how wonderful NFTs were (oh dear) because they helped establish a base income for fledgling artists,like herself (oh dearrrr) without having to rely on her songs getting streams? (oh dearrrrrrrrr)Twitter gave their usual gaslighting-disguised-as-concern response which in turn forced Rosa issue a semi-confused, half-arsed apology for attempting to profit from her work. Okay that was kinda funny, but by Monika Liu’s grown-out bob, Zoomer drama is the nuttiest drama, I swear.

Anyway, the aforementioned NFT shizzle, the association with Tamar’s Slytherin Evil, the TikTok viralness and the radio people’s sudden insistence that “Snap” was A Hidden Underrated Gem despite it being an inconspicuous 20th placer at Eurivision THAT NOBODY CARED ABOUT, and also the fact that Snap has five different versions (HER?!) all kinda hints at a certain ambition that just... taints it a bit for me. It just feels like Snap’s popularity didn’t develop itself naturally and but came about due to largely commercial and monetary reasons, after which the sheeple convinced themselves retroactively that it was secretly great and very underrated, since you know, influencers would never twist the truth to us for their own profit.

Overall the song’s fine in a vaccuum. Underneath its base sheer lie values that my crusty millennial monroe ass doesn’t share. FARE THEE WELL, MISS LINN, YOU GO BYE NOW!!!

-----------------------

24. CROATIA

Mia Dimsic - “Guilty pleasure”

26th place

youtube

Decade placement: 47/79

[above The Roop, below Tusse]

Oh look, another vaguely pleasant, mildly likabable, and ultimately not very exciting middle-of-the-road pop melody. The cynic in you might think I’m ranking Mia ahead of Rosa because Mia didn’t go viral, and like always the cynic in you is correct! Hooray! 😁 Yeah sorry, in the ongoing battle of overrated vs underrated, it’s the correctly rated that always win :-)

Still, like Rosa, Mia had the potential to be green on my ranking if she had cultivated a status as a fun random. TSwift IS a guilty pleasure of mine (except for her Midnights Era self which is unironically great) and while “Willow” is a part of the least exciting wing in Taylor’s musical library (ie: the part that isn’t crazed out through copium and/or severe neurosis), this bootlegged version was just cute enough to charm me.

Now of course, if your song is all about maintaining a certain level of delicate joie-de-vivre, it’s really important to not overdo the act and let the singer’s personal charisma carry it. Cue to the staging which looked like this:

What.

The.

Everlovin’.

Fuck?

There’s good staging and there is whatever the flyin’ fuck that was. Goodbye cutesie lounge vibe, goodbye charming performer, you’re completely overtaken by this overly choreographed, overtly dramatic and abrasive act that your song didn’t need. ONE dancer, NO acrobatics, how difficult is that to grasp, HRT? I’d be tempted to say the act was a cursed decision, but then realize Croatia’s frantic dance gremlins were probably the tipping point that allowed ~Systur~ into the finals, and any Eurovision final graced by those three earth angels has to count as a blessing. So thank you Mia for blessing us. ^_^

------------------------------------

23. GERMANY

Malik Harris - “Rockstars”

25th place

youtube

Decade ranking: 45/79

[Above Tusse, below Undisclosed]

It is very common knowledge that nobody likes Rockstars, and fine, I don’t! As insipid as “Rockstars” was though, I don’t think it was completely without redeeming qualities.Malik had a baseline charm and really went for it, I guess.

The German Selection, which had adopted the very... um... optimistic name “Germany, 12 points” for the occasion, (optimistic even if we believe the conspiracy theory the “12 points” alluded to the total numerical amount ARD were aiming for in Turin <3) was one of the worst in a horrible NF season. I was fucking relieved it produced a winner I could (sadly no more than) vaguely enjoy. Not everyone has the panache of getting distracted by their own soap bubble bonanza.

Also, the SPOKEN WORD RAP BREAK was exactly what my brain and soul -both high on copium after the Alina Pash withdrawal- needed at the time. It didn’t blow me away or anything, but it at least gave me something tangible to cling onto besides “well this is nice, i guess”.

For the rest though, ::tumbleweeds::. I think people might have been a bit too bandwagon-y in their Malik Mockery cus like, yeah he’s clearly getting last, don’t make it worse? But then again... he brought very little to the table. Besides the spoken word it’s like... cursive singing (petition to rename this to “Cursed Singing”) and instruments displayed on moth-eaten rugs to get points, you know? It’s like Germany were deliberately telegraphing us to NOT vote for them, again. But that’s less on Malik and more on ARD’s incompetence, which is a discussion for another time.

-----------------------------------------------

22. NORTH MACEDONIA

Andrea - “Circles”

27th place

youtube

Decade ranking: 44/79

[Above Malik, below Hurricane]

WE FINALLY MADE IT TO GREEN!!! Sadly we’re still in the No Man’s Land of VagueOpinionstan. 😣

There is *something* about Andrea and “Circles” that resonates well with me? Is it the perfectly mimed frustration with a poorly communicating love interest? Is it the palpable resignation on her face as she helplessly bleats “u don’t wanna test my limits -_-”.

Maybe! What I do know is that I stan the critical amount of pure Sadsack Energy Andrea exhudes from every pore. 😍😍 I think she’s a contender for the most morose, Eeyore-ish person to ever set a foot on a Eurovision stage? Reminder that this person won a selection <33333 Andrea posseses a sort of theoretical anti-charisma that should render her unvoteable, and yet in practice just has me cling to every word crossing her lips. ALL SHE WANTS IS A HEALTHY CONVERSATION SO SHE CAN GET IT RIGHT AND FIX THE SITUATION, YOU GHOULS!!!

(and yes, the other Bubble favourite of floordrop sorcery making an appearance <3)

But then on top of that, Andrea also became A Highly Controversial Pick for NoMac!!!! Strangely not because she was an out-and-proud lesbian (although, an out-and-proud lesbian representing a toxic homophobe country from the Balkans <3333333) but because..... she dropped a wee plastic flag during the turquoise carpet.

The toxic nationalists took it as HER DELIBERATELY TRAMPLING OUR MACEDONIAN PRIDE AFTER YEARS OF GREEK BULLYING. MRT even issued an official statement that they were CONSIDERING A WITHDRAWAL (with zero intention to actually quit of course) to appease the smooth-brained cunts until the quiet and expected NQ arrived. <3333333333

(knowing her misery was finally over, Andrea cracked a smile for the first time in her life <3)

This only enhanced Andrea’s Charlie Brown”-esque journey even more!! Just when Andrea looked like the token hapless last placer nobody loved, the results came in, and showed she *almost* made the final. 😍😍😍😍😍😍. If there’s one thing that horrible second semifinal should have done right and didn’t, is causing a NoMac qualification by means of fixed jury voting algorithms. Simply imagine the meltdowns over Andrea slaying Andromache AND Nadir. 😍 If only the EBU had the balls to NQ Azer on the spot, huh? Oh well, there’s always 2023 for that. 😈

----------------------------------

21. UKRAINE

Kalush Orchestra - “Stefania”

1st place

youtube

Decade ranking: 41/79

[Above Fyr og Flamme, below Eden Alene]

ugh i forgot he yelled Mariupol and Azofstal at the end of that and wasn’t DQ’d on the spot! Instantly regretting I didn’t rank Ukraine even LOWER. 😫😫😫 (no, don’t think about how much better Stefania would be without him, don’t do it Bobo, consider your mental health -- inner monologue while writing the rest of this post.)

So yeah, after all this inconspicuous also-ran filler (i’m definitely including Snap in that group), I’m eliminating the winner, the biggest televote winner Eurovision have ever had. “Have you no respect, Boris?”, you might ask and well... would I be me, if I had any, lol? I came into the 2022 season with hot takes and mental fortitude and thanks to Shitvidi I’m all out of fortitude, so~

Cynicism and self-awareness aside, let’s get the big elephant out of the room: The war had virtually no impact on my ranking here. I despise politics at Eurovision, (mostly because politics always affect it, but Eurovision NEVER affects the politics back), so there are two options here: Either downvote Ukraine for bringing politics into the contest, or make an exception and turn a blind eye. I chose option two. Nobody can begrudge Ukraine for attempting to pretend that the worst armed conflict to have hit them since WW2 hadn’t broken them, so I won’t. No points added or deducted. .

I do have good reasons to not rank Stefania higher though. I think you already know where this is headed - Sorry (for YOU) if you’re a fan of his, but Oleh suuuuuucks. It started at Vidbir when he led a small mob against that poor envelope lady and it was all sorts of messed up? Entitlement and bullying tinged with toxic nationalism, there ain’t no better first impression to make, am i right?

And very unfortunately my distaste towards Oleh also extends to his on-stage presence which I find really fucking obnoxious. The concept of a “Charismatic Black Hole” was one I didn’t fully understand until I first saw Oleh Psiuk set a foot on stage. Does anyone TRULY like his presence here? All his verses do is distract from the chorus and instrumental, which is awful because those bits fucking slap! Airlift him and his ugly-ass hat the fuck outta here.

Okay, so the winning song is actually... pretty good. It is NOT great though. Stefania is a weaker, safer and more cis-het version of “Shum”, which is suboptimal. Counterpoint is that “Shum” was Peak Ukraine (Which is also Peak Eurovision), and remains one of the best entries ever, so a lesser replication of that is still enjoyable overall. It made Ihor Didenchuk (who is also in Go_A) a Eurovision laureate! It kinda sucks the fandom didn’t come through at a time when Ukraine had, you know, an actually charismatic lead, but I suppose the power of love Damiano-induced boners does conquer all.

On the flip side, Ihor’s and Tymofii’s contributions are so good that they almost fully balance Oleh’s deteriorative and hammy rapping. Tymofii carries Stefania with his spot-on chanting and preposterous flute playback shenanigans.

Ihor meanwhile just has a good time on the stage, disguised as one of the two Cousin It-like entities <3 Add in some tasteful staging and hell, even the fact that this song is in essence an ode to someone’s (You Know Who’s) actual mom, (and not the forced, cringe, jingoistic metaphor it later became) and you have an entry that definitely makes sense as a jury fourth placer and top fiver overall.

Now obviously, I would have preferred for Ukraine to not win because they were not the best option (not by a mile!), and ofc also because I hate their lead, but I’m not fully broken up that they beat my faves. Sometimes there are powers at work beyond our control and that’s fine. Not everything in life must be catered to our tastes. Ukraine are the best Eurovision country, and it doesn’t matter how or when they catch up to (and pass) Ireland and Sweden, as long as it happens during my lifespan. 🤷‍♀️

Still think Pinkbucket’s a thuggish little punk though. Prayer circle that the next time Ukraine win, it’s with someone actually worth stanning. 🙂

My thoughts on Eurovision 2023 entries (part 2)

Here is the second part of my original post

https://www.tumblr.com/bettyg196/712764636834988032/my-thoughts-on-eurovision-2023-entries

Enjoy.

Denmark: REILEY - Breaking My Heart

Rank: #37

Rating: 3 / 10

The worst entry of the year for me. It's too generic and maybe too overproduced, this song has no soul and authenticity. The verses aren't too bad, but the chorus with Reiley's robotic voice chilled me so much that I caught a cold just listening to it. It's a big no for me, unfortunately my opinion on Denmark is rather unpopular in the fandom and Denmark will qualify for the final thanks to young kids who spend too much time on TikTok.

Romania: THEODOR ANDREI - D.G.T (Off And On)

Rank: #26

Rating: 7,5 / 10

Indeed, D.G.T was not necessarily the best choice that Romania could make but it is not a musical horror either. It is a nice entry with personality. Despite his young age, Theodor Andrei is a very good vocalist and performer, he has a lot of stage presence and he gives everything. On the other hand, please change the staging !

Latvia: SUDDEN LIGHTS - Aijā

Rank: #13

Rating: 9 / 10

Latvia has bet on originality this year. Aijā is an experimental and unique song. I love how the song is musically chaotic most of the time and has a smooth ending. Sudden Lights deserves the final for me, but the band are in the toughest semi-final, I wonder how they'll fare.

Croatia: LET 3 - Mama ŠČ

Rank: #32

Rating: 5,5 / 10

Well, I'm nice, I gave Croatia the average, but it was originality and 5 other songs that saved it from the last place in my ranking. At least it's daring but musically it's too messed up. I appreciate the anti-war message of the song but I remain convinced that it is a bad choice coming from Croatia. It deserves to stay in its semi-final because it reminds me of the period of unclassifiable Eurovision songs in the 2000s, but the televote will send this entry to the final because Europeans will appreciate the chaotic side of Let 3.

Malta: THE BUSKER - Dance (Our Own Party)

Rank: #24

Rating: 7,5 / 10

The song is not that bad, it's even good. We didn't have the Moldovan Epic Sax Guy this year but we have the Maltese equivalent. I appreciate Malta's choice even though Brooke would have been a better option imo. If Malta is lucky, it can be the surprise qualifier of the year (there is always a surprise Eurovision finalist country).

Italy: MARCO MENGONI - Due Vite

Rank: #15

Rating: 8,5 / 10

A very emotional, passionate and powerful ballad as Italy knows how to do. The song's only real flaw is the lack of surprise, but otherwise Italy hit the mark with Due Vite even though there were better options for Mahmood's country this year (Elodie 💔 Madame 💔 Rosa Chemical 💔 Lazza 💔 Levante 💔).

Lithuania: MONIKA LINKYTĖ - Stay

Rank: #22

Rating: 8 / 10

Very nice Lithuanian entry. Monika Linkytė is an excellent vocalist and has a good stage presence. Lithuania can go to the final I think.

France: LA ZARRA - Évidemment

Rank: #9

Rating: 9 / 10

What a splendid chanson ! “Évidemment” fits well to La Zarra's musical universe. It's well produced and built, the lyrics have been researched. This entry leaves no one indifferent. I don't know how it will go in Liverpool, but whatever happens I'm proud that this song represents my country.

Australia: VOYAGER - Promise

Rank: #4

Rating: 9,5 / 10

Thank You Australia! I love it ! “Promise” is one of my favorites songs of this edition. This is easily my favorite Eurovision song from this country. Finally, Australia is taking a risk by sending something that is not Eurovision encoded. In addition, I really like the universe of Voyager, the group will fly to Liverpool to my great happiness. Considering the weakness of the semi-final where Australia is, I think the country will go to the final easily.

To be continued in the next post.

(after late work hours rambling) (probably there is already a post there better at pinning down and wording the itch I want to scratch). So... there is this recent trend in niche shows and also in movies (which include productions outside of Hollywood) to project on modern sensibilities about feminism and (em)power fantasies on female monarchs on history. Don't get me wrong I very much enjoy period dramas, slight anachronisms be damned but this specific trend goes far beyond the regular movie anachronism and arbitrary rearrangement of events for narrative drama. (Also, beyond a simply unmotivated bad movie.) In these periods the social position and understanding of women are often decontextualized, added with a rhetoric and social construct that is definitely more Western contemporary than historical. (Like the understanding of higher social positions as political body etc.) One aspect bothering would be the falsification of the accomplishment of the monarch in question. Second aspect: The more tongue and cheek approaches do present the surrounding around the female noble women as cartoonishly incompetent or stupid, more as an automaton of sexist phrases than any more tangible, less obvious barriers. Third, the stories are also often framed as intimate, personal journey where the projection of "things women feel" onto the person of the fictionalized noble women. Who then are framed as one exceptional women, in a setting afforded a wealth and liberties even the contemporary audience doesn't have. If it's all about the fantasy of the especially virtuous woman vs the ignorant, mean system, Elisabeth von Thuringia existed. But most and foremost, modern feminist sensibilities and fulfillment get fulfilled in the fictionalized persona of women who often were in exceptional positions, and not necessarily interested in the cause for women if it were their own. There're little media, actually I can't remember any title in the recent decade, please correct me if my perception is limited, even in non-Hollywood productions about women who did fight for feminist causes or civil movements. But another European bloody Sisi title within an entire year of of 3 new Sisi movie productions... Sisi as such a relatable victim of social pressure, such a feminist production forcing the lead actress to be in a uncomfortable costume when film tricks and acting exists, whereas Elisabeth had a massive eating disorder, and more than happily wasted tax money... (If another Sisi title comes out I'm going to chew on a curtain.)

(Sure, these titles explicitly named or alluded to are not part of a manifested movement, I'm lumping together titles of various movie or show projects from different countries and production teams, have different depths as well as purposes - yet it does bug me how "female monarchs who're a stage for feminist ideas" are biggest titles with female leads in the recent years.) Where are the works on women like Ida B. Wells, Olympe de Gouges, Rosa Luxemburg, the FSLN, or Monika Ertl? Of course, one could argue that the life of such movements or women are "too radical" for mainstream but again, outside of Hollywood, 2022 was the Sisi year...
