You can listen to the whole playlist on Youtube

Reunion

OMG, what an inspirational gift of artwork from my dear mutual, @opalknight, that I couldn't wait to share with everyone because it is sooooo incredibly precious!!!

Thank you with all my heart, dear friend, for always supporting me and my WIP Spectre One Rises with so much thoughtfulness and generosity. You filled me to the brim with joy today!

And a huge shout out to the artist who @opalknight commissioned, Uzari, for creating such a heartwarming reunion between Kanan and Jacen. This beautiful scene between father and son brought me to happy tears and will remain in my mind as I wrap up the story!!!!

[goodboyaudios]

Reverse Summons

This is an old draft I have been hanging onto that I am not sure if I should expand. The idea is Harold never showed back up and the brother's never made it to the human world. Yet, Diana and James want to host a Rebellion. Desperate times call for desperate measures and the group ask Damien to call on his second pained memory.

There is one person Izroul will never forget: Harold, the elderly man who treated him with kindness. It has been about a full year since that moment, but Harold never came back. Of course, offering a harem woman’s son freedom must have been a cruel joke. Many demons have heard the stories of humans being unjust, but Izroul had hoped this one was different. Even though he proved naïve, Izroul could not muster up any hatred towards Harold. The human had treated him differently and offered him a dream to live for. Yet, Harold’s offer must have been how heaven choose to remind him of his existence. His life and abilities constantly caused his mother to relive trauma. Also, He was born a demon. Heaven detested demons because of Lilith’s stance against Adam and her words towards God. Izroul could only blame himself for hoping that Heaven would free him from this hell. From that day, Izroul swore that his life was a penance for wrongs he could not control. Although his brothers refuted this claim, nothing has proved otherwise. Izroul was simply a stain as black as his demon markings. But, he cannot deny that his brothers making living tolerable.

Izroul’s brothers are the only ones who believe him and can prove that Harold existed. However, the brothers could not utter a word or attempt a seeking spell because of their status. Anywhere the brothers went and who they interacted with often became castle gossip. Aside from the lack of privacy, Raestro was being forced to marry the princess of Lilith's castle. All energy, preparation, and eyes of the castle ensured Raestro could not escape. Since Raestro could not leave, then none of them would either. The brothers would not leave each other behind. As the year came to a close, Raestro was married. While, Izroul isolated himself into the shadows, only coming forth to feed or respond to his brothers.

Despite the marriage being a symbol of peace, the Demon Lord’s will clashed with the goals of the new couple. A week after the wedding, the Demon Lord’s entitlement to his throne arose. The brothers, the new queen, and the army of Lilith fought to silence the Demon Lord by force. A drastic measure, but one the brothers insisted needed to be done. Their father went mad for power, and there was no cure for madness. So even as the year rolled to a close, the war continued.

It has been a year and six months since Harold's last appearance, and the war started. The brothers and those loyal to Raestro are sheltered in Lilith Castle. Teachers and parents taught young children fighting skills. Despite the move, everyone was stuck in another hopeless cycle of doom. Until Uzaeris made a sudden request to have materials to seek Harold. Sure, the idea of seeking a human sounded bonkers. But, from Izroul’s description, Harold was not a mere human slave of the Abyssal Plains. Human slaves suffered through living nightmares and rarely survived. If Harold looked healthy, then he must have come from another world. Only beings with great powers can communicate and open portals to other worlds. Maybe Harold was the key to winning this war. If the rebels against the Demon Lord won the war, they would save many lives. With the war’s current stalemate and the intention of preventing further bloodshed, Raestro agreed to provide materials for the spell. Ezeaur, the new queen, offered to help Uzaeris with the spell as she knew about the Five Worlds. Thus, the spell preparation to find Harold began!

With Uzaris and Ezeaur working together, in two months, they completed the spell. However, to search the Five Worlds, the spell needed an immense source of power. Currently, the strongest living powers in the Abyssal Plains were Ezeaur and the Demon Lord. Both were pure-blooded demon races. However, considering they required the strongest fighters to fight, Ezeaur was out of the question. The second-strongest powers were the brothers, since they came from the Demon Lord’s bloodline. Aside from power, the spell required a target. Izroul was the only one who knew Harold’s magic signature and appearance first hand. As such, Izroul was chosen to talk and make a deal with Harold. Gathered around the spell circle, the brothers hoped for the best and focused their energy into the spell. The circle’s glow bathed the room in light as the floor became like glass floating above the grey clouds. Was it raining where Harold was? Izroul let out a breath and focused his mind on the feeling, energy, and looks of Harold. Unexpectedly, when the storm clouds cleared sitting in the center of the circle was not an old man, but a young woman!

Eurovision 2010s: 140 - 136

140. Greta Salóme & Jónsi - Never forget” Iceland 2012

Oh man, this is just tragic. Like, “l’amore è femmina”, “Never forget” could’ve been near the top of the ranking, but the stakes were even higher. A good performance of “Never forget” WINS this ranking easily. "Never forget” is not only one of my favourite ESC songs ever, it’s also the song that ignited my interest in becoming an freelance Eurovsion analyst, following the backstage, rehearsals and preselections, teaching myself how to gif, etc. It was a key entry in establishing my fandom.

My feelings on “Never forget” are as such, all over the goddamn’ place, so I will attempt to remain succinct: I was a HUGE fanboy in the day and to some degree I still am. Jónsi is probably still my single favourite Eurovision human. Effortlessly funny, disarmingly self-deprecating, overwhelmingly charismatic, constantly spewing off dorky dad humour everywhere. The only other person who can hold a candle to that is (the sadly LESS dorky) Måns Zelmerlöw. He is, simply put, perfect. Here’s a gif of him getting lost backstage.

(caption: “How unprofessional of me🤭🤔😬” 😻)

Greta is pretty amazing in her own right, as well. In addition to being a very talented songwriter who makes consistently magical music, I relate a lot to her permanently anxious, overambitious, perfectionistic self, her crippling fear of “not being good enough” permeating throughout every line she says. I mean, same girl, same. WLU *GREAT*A.

As for the song,man, how much praise can I cram into this? “Never forget” is a brilliant composition: It transcends the boundaries of music by unfolding like an animated chapter from the Edda. The Icelandic version may very well be the single best song in all of Eurovision, and is on my non-ESC playlist.

Sadly, Greta & Jónsi were ALSO struck by the Crystal Acoustics Curse. Not as badly as Compact Disco and Nina were but still, the end result was pretty disappointing. Jónsi was especially terrible which hurts my iceberg of a heart. However, I prefer to not dwell on what could’ve been. The final positioning at #140 is fair based on what “Never forget” eventually became: a solidly good entry, just not a great one. 

________________________________________________________________

139. Emmelie de Forest - “Only teardrops” Denmark 2013

On the other end of the spectrum, we now encounter another song in the “OUTSOLD!!!” category. Emmelie’s rank is limited by the quality of her song: "Only teardrops” is a boatload of nonsense, pre-packaged as pseudo-ethnic schlager <3 To put it plainly: It is a simple song for simple souls. 🤗  Fortunately, I too am a simple soul and was instantly drawn by this charming blend of floral melodies and underlying moody percussion. “Only teardrops” is, by the strict definition of the term, a basic bitch song, but it actually manages to convincingly disguise itself as quality. The presentation is elegant and even lowkey epic and Emmelie absolutely makes the most out of it. It’s not my 2013 winner, not even by a longshot, but I am nevertheless satisfied.

________________________________________________________________

138. Buryanoskiye Babushki - “Party for everybody” Russia 2012

PARTIY VAR EVRIBADIY DENZ. 

ANOTHER VICTIM OF CRYSTAL ARENA ACOU- lmfao just kidding.🤭 We knew well ahead in time the Babushki couldn’t hold a tune and if you care about *that* aspect, you’re just not watching Eurovision right. The only complaints I could’ve had would be if they won and well, look at the year. 

Also, in a year featuring Jónsi (perfect human) and Kaliopi (”I LOVE THE GREECE. I LOVE GREECE MUSIC” + off-screen showmance with Can Bonomo <3), Natalia, a living breathing inner matrjoska manages to capture my heart as one of Eurovision’s best ancillary characters. SO ADORABLE, WHERE CAN I ORDER ONE ONLINE???

All yours, Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka, ya ya~

I also really cherish the Babushki because their participation feels like the FINAL time Russia was genuinely without a hidden motive. They were the last Russian entry to win an NF, and they did it with antiquated shit schlager about dogs crawling on cats <3 (Like, seriously. I’m sure there is some obscure uralic legend at the base of these acidtrippy lyrics, which <3). This of course they expanded by baking cookies on the stage while cawing on in offkey Udmurt and broken English. They are genuinely disarming and I question the morality and life choices of anyone who thinks otherwise. ^_^

Oh btw, all of Russia has  now been eliminated, except for Polina. What a Good Eurovision Country. 

________________________________________________________________

137. Sunstroke Project ft. Olia Tira - “Runaway” Moldova 2010

In a bizarre fluke, “Run away” is one of the most famous Eurovision songs of all time.😂  I will not insult your intelligence by pointing out how, and I’ll instead remark that I find it lowkey hilarious. Hilarious, because at the time, the general opinion of “Run away” was a negative one: “a vocal disaster, an undeserving fringe qualifier, the epitome of bad taste & bad music, evocative of eastern-European countries voting only for each other”. Man, do those haters look silly now. 

As for my personal opinion, well, yes, I live for the mess, obviously? Always have, long before it was cool! Pseudo-orchestral trashpop beat laced with incomprehensible coalminer’s English <3 correctly-rated-as-epic sax playback <3 <3 The terrible outfits <3 the world’s least convincing violin <3 Sergei RIPPING OPEN HIS SHIRT AT THE END lmfao <3 Keep on causing rage-induced embolysms with those juror fiends, sweet trash angels. So camp, so lowbudget, so shameless, SO MOLDOVAN <3

and now for the final boot of the ~Like Zone~

________________________________________________________________

136. Uzari & Maimuna - “Time” Belarus 2015

“Time” is like Thunder Oh OH.

‘Time” is such a weird entry and I am barely able to make sense of it all. 

First of all, it’s a physical health awareness anthem aimed at the terminally ill??? Telling them to live their life to the fullest because they have such little time left (which is both endearing and hilariously inappropriate). 

Second of all, both Uzari (pronounced *YOU*zari, no really, he insists) and Maimuna are such intense weirdo’s. I wouldn’t describe their deadlocked gazes as chemistry per se, it’s more like a nonstop spaghetti western staredown.  <3 How did these two people end up working together?

Thirdly this is a pairing between a singer and a musician but it is UZARI who composed the music while MAIMUNA wrote the lyrics <3 "Time” is such a quaint, but entertaining little song, how come everyone overlooks it ::looks at the flag::... oh. 

And that concludes all the songs I ~like~. Now we move on to the second highest tier, to the [chiara] Songs That I ~LOOOOOVE~ 😻 [/chiara]

«У меня есть всего пара секунд, чтобы вы меня полюбили…». ❤ ⠀ Всякий раз перед выходом на сцену, перед очередной съемкой или даже перед прямым эфиром в соц. сетях, каждый артист осознает эту задачу.🤔 ⠀ Публика оценивают артиста еще до того, как тот откроет рот. И как бы круто его не представили, существует лишь мгновение, чтобы понравиться.😔 ⠀ Почему так происходит? Опытные психологи говорят, что люди оценивают артиста в целом: образ, поведение, посыл. А уже потом принимают решение – слушать его или нет. Именно поэтому многие известные люди просят отдельные гримерки или избегают общения незадолго до выступления. 🤔🤨 ⠀ Что же делать и как настроиться? 1️⃣ Уверенность в себе. 🦸‍♂️ Бояться все – и начинающие артисты, и мастера своего дела. Мадонна как-то сказала: «Мо�� самый большой недостаток – неуверенность. Я знаю, что этому никто не поверит. Я все время ужасно боюсь». 😬 Но мы видим, что певица находит в себе силы побороть этот изъян. Найдете и Вы! 🤟 2️⃣ Открытость и доброжелательность. Невербально люди чувствуют ваш посыл и всегда отвечают взаимностью. Улыбайтесь!😀 ⠀ 3️⃣ Следите за языком своего тела. Вы можете сиять улыбкой до последних рядов зала, но тело скажет о вас гораздо больше, чем вам бы хотелось. 🤷‍♂️ Покажите людям, что вы настроены позитивно: раскиньте руки, слегка наклоните голову в сторону, держите открытую позу. И не нужно допускать, что о вас подумают как-то иначе, чем вы себе себя представляете. Это нормально. 😉👌 ⠀ 4️⃣ Играйте с залом. Найдите в зале несколько человек и пойте им, смотря прямо в глаза. Это придаст теплоты и вовлеченности выступлению. 🙌 ⠀ 5️⃣ Опрятность. Не так важно насколько дорога ваша одежда, важно чтобы «костюмчик сидел». Существует много очень популярных Артистов, которые на самом деле имеют либо очень скудный но достаточно дорогой гардероб, либо много всего оригинального/интересного/необычного, но купленного на стоках. 👕👖🧣 ⠀ Это всего лишь небольшая часть моих советов, которые помогут правильно вести себя перед публикой. Совсем скоро расскажу больше. ⠀ А как вы оцениваете артиста? 🤔 На что обращаете внимание? Чего ждете?😊 ⠀ #вокальныйинстинкт #вокал #станьзвездой #uzari https://www.instagram.com/p/CLJ3lpWr19A/?igshid=rjvz7ba9924p
