Eurovision 2007: Qualification
Tumblr media
Last year's Eurovision turned out to be immensely popular. Both the lack of scandal and a hugely popular and novel winner not only went down well with the European public, but also the broadcasters of Europe.
It was enough to quell the doubts about the competition that had been increasing. At least for now. Austria and Hungary returned having registered their concerns and reassured that if a bunch of rock demons from Finland could win, then so could they.
Monaco however felt differently. They'd spend three years in the semi-finals since their return in 2004, never really threatening to qualify and given the low budgets and viewership (does anyone resident in Monaco actually watch Eurovision?), they once again pulled out. As of 2024, they still haven't returned.
After last years unpleasantness, both Serbia and Montenegro took part separately. Officially they were debuts, but they kind of weren't. It now meant that every republic that had formerly constituted Yugoslavia were now competing independently. Six countries where there had been one. There was still the question of Kosovo though, and that's a question that remains to this day.
Two other countries had a go at Eurovision for the first time: Georgia and the Czech Republic. That's forty-two countries in total breaching the EBUs forty country limit.
This resulted in the biggest semi-final ever with twenty-eight countries competing in one of the longest Eurovision performance schedules ever and it left the EBU scratching its head as Azerbaijan were asking politely to take part as well.
Of the forty-two entrants, ten went for internal selection, up two from last year. That still means that thirty-two national finals took place, three more than last year. Three of those were song-selections with an artist known in advance, and one (Hungary) was an artist selection show with a song already in mind.
Adding in Sanremo, that leads to a round 500 songs being in the contention for my bracket this year. That's actually a fifty-three song reduction on 2006, mainly because several of the monster selection shows slimmed down somewhat.
2007 is Eurovision achieving it's full size for the first time. There will be a couple of years that match it for number of entrants, but this is the one that grew beyond what the EBU was prepared for. But was exactly what the EBU wanted.

Texto Wikipedia:
«L'amour s'en va» ("El amor se va") es una canción exitosa elegida con mayor porcentaje del país de Mónaco, para el Festival de la canción de Eurovision 1963. Esta fue interpretada en francés por la cantante y actriz francesa Françoise Hardy.
Los monegascos eligieron por mayoría de votos a Françoise Hardy, ya que el país no contaba con muchos artistas propios, pero finalmente se vio que fue una gran popularidad, en especial de la cantante que provenía de Francia. La canción terminó en quinto puesto con 25 puntos, ya que en primer lugar salieron Grethe Ingmann & Jørgen Ingmann con 42 puntos representando a Dinamarca.
Françoise Hardy era una cantante menor de edad cuando fue reconocida por el público en toda Europa, más tarde se crea un género musical llamado Ye-ye, en donde con tan sólo 18 años de edad en 1962 empieza a ser popular y aparece en varios programas de televisión. "Tous les garçons et les filles" es una de las canciones más conocidas por la misma artista, ya que en 1962 tuvo su lanzamiento y no tardó en llevar su éxito, se vendió 700.000 copias aproximadamente sólo en Francia. Luego pasó a ser una de las artistas mundiales de habla francesa más exitosas y populares de la década de 1960, así también como un icono de la moda influyente. Fue también conocida como una de las mejores artistas de género Ye-ye a partir de mediados de los 60, ya que también estaban otras como France Gall, quien también es elegida para Eurovision.
"L'amour s'en va" es de estilo lento y expresado con apariencias tristes, popular en los primeros años del concurso. Hardy canta sobre una relación que se llevó a cabo, donde expresa que el amor es una cosa efímera, sin embargo, esto es lo que no importa a los amantes involucrados. Hardy también grabó la canción en versión alemana "Die Liebe geth" y más tarde también en italiano "L'amore va", respectivamente, viendo que también fue exitosa en países extranjeros.
La canción fue interpretada en decimoquinto lugar en el festival de la noche, después de Jacques Raymond que representaba a Bélgica, y precediendo a Nana Mouskouri que representaba a Luxemburgo. Al terminar la votación del Festival, la canción recibe 25 puntos, colocando en quinto lugar de 16 posiciones. "L'amour s'en va", sin embargo pasó a que Hardy pueda ganar el prestigioso premio francés "Grand Prix du Disque" en 1963 y unos cuarenta años después de su lanzamiento original de la canción, todavía cuenta como una de sus sinfonías.
En 1964, Romuald representa a Mónaco en Eurovisión, y obtuvo el tercer lugar. Más tarde, en 1971, Mónaco llega a primer lugar con la cantante Séverine, con 128 puntos, cantando el tema Un banc, un arbre, une rue.

Eurovision Fact #419:
Tumblr media
In 2011, unconfirmed rumors on the Czech Eurovision website, Eurosong.cz, announced that Monaco's national broadcaster, TMC, was discussing with the EBU a possible return to Eurovision for the 2012 contest.
However, this rumor was squashed as head of TMC, Phil Bosco, said that the costs were simply too high to consider a participation anytime in the future.

Eurovision's Shrinkage Problem And Some Ideas To Fix It
Eurovision's Shrinkage Problem And Some Ideas To Fix It. The number of countries participating in the Eurovision Song Contest has been steadily dwindling for a while now. Since 2018, the trend of the 3-year average has been downwards. Hayden Kent looks at the impact this has on the Song Contest
Going, Going, Gone Over the past decade, several countries have disappeared from the roster as broadcasters left the Eurovision Song Contest for various political or financial reasons. Turkey and Slovakia last appeared in 2012, although the latter could potentially return in 2025. Bosnia & Herzegovina haven’t shown up since 2016 because of financial constraints. Hungary left in 2019. Belarusian…

Early ESC 2025 predictions
Anyways, here's what kind of bullshittery I'm expecting next year.
🇧🇬 Bulgaria: Teases a return on social media. They announce their non-participation a day later.
🇲🇨 Monaco: Someone famous from there who is not a singer announces they'll compete if Monaco enters. They are swiftly shot down by TV Monaco.
🇽🇰 Kosovo's request for an invite is ignored.
🇱🇮 Lichtenstein: Someone at 1FLTV breathes the word "Eurovision", setting the news sites alight. They do not compete.
🇺🇦 Ukraine: Jury favourite wins Vidbir. They're soon disqualified after breaking some immigration law the Ukrainian government pulled out of its ass and the televote favourite gets sent instead.
🇸🇪 Sweden: Same old, same old, clean polished pop song nobody aside from Swedish people, the ESC jury and normie televoters like. 6th place.
🇧🇪 Belgium: Goes back to an NF. Fan favourite entry (see: something with nothing noteworthy about it other than being in French) doesn't get sent. Cue butthurt.
🇫🇷 France: Does what they did last year and pulls a random bestselling artist out of a hat. Top 10 finish.
🇮🇹 Italy: Usual schtick, sends something which does gangbusters on Spotify and Apple but is ultimately held back by crappy staging and weak live vocals. Comes top 10 regardless.
🇲🇩 Moldova: It's their turn to be the next Käärijä or Baby Lasagna. Top 3 finish.
🇵🇹 Portugal: Sends a breathy-voiced Billie Eilish wannabe with a murky blue stage. Does surprisingly well.
🇮🇪 Ireland: Cruachan finally get into the Late Late NF Special. They lose out to some Voice UK reject and a song written by a music student from London with an Irish surname. The fandom is not pleased.
🇸🇲 San Marino: Holds another dismally long NF full of the usual rejects from other, more popular, NFs. Doesn't qualify.
🇬🇷 Greece: Hires a stable full of Melfest regulars to write a song for some bi-national diaspora born and raised anywhere in the world but Greece to perform.
🇨🇾 Cyprus: See above, just replace the bi-national with "some Australian with Greek heritage".
🇬🇧 United Kingdom: All the good artists got scared off again so we're back to one hit wonders from 20 years ago and/or absolute nobodies destined for the right side of the scoreboard. British tabloids have a field day.

monaco is now eligible to participate in esc (which they probably won’t do this year, there’s too little time left for the application (but who knows, surprise me)) and it’s so interesting and honestly exiting. like with luxembourg coming back and now this possibility for monaco there’s a chance that the little states will start paying more attention to esc, as it is a huge chance to show themselves to the world. the more countries at esc the merrier

Copenhagen 2001: Wrap Up
Tumblr media
Eurovision 2001 is a year living in the shadow of the previous year's competition. The hosts saw what Sweden had done and perhaps in friendly rivalry, attempted to go one better. Parken stadium is huge and had to have a roof installed to make it a suitable venue. There was a lot of money spent ensuring that Denmark would host a Eurovision audience twice as large as the previous record set the year before.
Fireworks and stage pyro, massive lighting installations, and an overarching concept for presentation involving rhyming couplets and light comedy romantic flirtation between the hosts. It feels a little like overcompensation for an inferiority complex between this year's hosts and last year's.
Tumblr media
I have no idea if that's exactly what was going on, but it sure feels like a broadcaster trying to prove something and finding out that going large can fall flat. The stage was too big for many acts, the cameras too far away, the screens too small for the size of the enormous audience. The benefits, such as the huge, involving crowd noise that comes with hosting in a football stadium, were there (especially as the host song did so well), but they didn't outweigh the problems. Lessons were being learned by future hosts.
In terms of songs, Eurovision is floundering, trying to reinvent itself. There's good and there's bad this year and personally, I find the final to be a small step up on the previous two years. Having said that most of the songs on stage sound and look like they're playing it safe. More like old Eurovision than new. Perhaps the most odd thing about the year is that winner is a party song, not a genre that has typically done well prior to this. Maybe a tiny movement towards commerciality? Maybe not, but at least it demonstrates that the Eurovision audience can shift its tastes, although in this case it shifted them sideways rather that forward into the full commercial relevance the EBU craved for the longevity of its flagship institution.
Tumblr media
The most recent songfestival.be/ESC Radio top 250 has five entries for 2001, one up on 2000. It's still low, but inching back up. The big problem for 2001 is that the national finals and selection process for choosing the songs in Eurovision was just awful. It feels like the broadcasters didn't care, or perhaps spent all the money on the 2000 editions. Eurovision is poison both for the acts, their managers and the record companies that sign them. It's also poison for the broadcasters who all fear picking a duff song and getting flak from the fans and their national press. Yet, they're duty bound, contractually bound even, to pick a song knowing that no one this year wants to take part.
The resulting national finals were not good. Amateur even. The nets were cast very wide and in several cases there was only ever going to be one winner. There are a few who are trying - especially the Netherlands after the trials of the 2000 Eurovision song contest - but even here, their efforts are stymied by the massive stage and a running order leading to relegation.
Relegation. That's going to be the next big problem that the EBU need to address. It just doesn't feel fair. Delegations can pour time, money and effort into doing Eurovision right and through sheer chance end up getting relegated, leading to more criticism. Then there are all the new countries who wish to take part. Where the was once a single Yugoslavia, there are now five countries, soon to be six and then seven. All the former Warsaw pact and ex-Soviet Union countries who have not already taken part want to. Italy might come back one day, and the microstates such as Monaco, Andorra and San Marino, how will they fit into this? A solution is needed rapidly.
Will that happen next year? Will the hosts find the right-sized venue and approach to hosting? Will the EBU's desire for relevance bear fruit? Let's find out in 2002.

what are some of your favorite esc winners of all time?
not in any order, but each of these has been my favourite winner at some point:
Monaco 1971
youtube
I love the melody so much and her voice is so beautiful, how it goes from soft to powerful within the verses. The whole song and performance give me strong classic Esc nostalgia with the live orchestra and singing in one's own language and how simple everything is, and of course it's made even more charming by the fact that I don't speak French.
Ireland 1996
youtube
Beautiful melody, hauntingly beautiful voice, the lyrics tell a story, I'm a sucker for everything ethnic and especially Celtic and I love that this is so clearly Ireland's entry. Could be from a fantasy movie's soundtrack. This used to be my favourite winner for years on end.
Ukraine 2016
youtube
The lyrics, Jamala's voice, using Crimean Tatar language. Biggest chills I've ever gotten at a live show. How heartbreaking the quiet lullaby part is and how filled with raw emotion the cry after it is. The combination of traditional and modern in the production. The staging with Ukrainian colours in the tree, the light pillars as prison bars, the pulsating red as heartbeat. Very unpopular opinion, but 1944 is my favourite winner of 2010's and possibly of this century.
