Eurovision 2006 - Number 30 - City Chix - "All About You"

This is little bit of a weird one, not only because it's a one-ear experience (sorry - I've linked the studio version below, but this is the only current clip of the actual national final performance). City Chix are two actresses, Laura McMonagle and Jade Lezar, who were only known to the UK public for their roles as schoolgirls in Scottish soap opera River City. They had no form as singers or in music at all.

Presumably they'd both been to stage school and had sung into hairbrushes in front of the mirror, but they'd not troubled any other track. Perhaps that's not too unusual though, given the writing team behind this. It's Deni Lew and Pete Glenister again. Last year, they were the team who attempted to get Katie Price to Eurovision. Someone else who had no previous singing experience. They were trying to do it again, this time with Wayne Hector who had worked on a couple of UK national finalists previous and would go on to have two Eurovision songs in the next decade.

This time at least both Laura and Jade can hold a tune. All About You is truly hummable and toe-tapping simple pop tune about a selfish, self-interested, self-pitying partner who is surely going to get dumped in the near future. It's got a highly unusual trick for Eurovision in that it's got a key change... ...in every chorus. And that lifts it. Although Laura and Jade can sing, they lack energy and the verve that the song requires. There's a distinct lack of commitment to the anger the song requires - although the harmonies are fun and their voices work well together.

It's probably one of the best simple pop tunes of the year, it just needs the oomf that all the other girl bops this year have turned up to eleven. All the art on display here is in the song-writing rather than the performance. Nevertheless, given the standards of the UK national final, it stands out for being both distinctly British and fun. There are people here who know what they're doing.

It came a distant third behind the top two who were running away with all the points including the winner who would bring the UK national shame again when transferred to a Eurovision stage - even as the UK public thought they were laughing at Europe and Eurovision.

Outside of this song and performance City Chix didn't sing again, and River City finished its first run in 2007. Laura has gone on to have a solid career as a TV actress in supporting roles, while Jade seems to have disappeared from screens entirely. The BBC department responsible for choosing songs really needs to move away from creating groups specifically for Eurovision and actually getting some proper singers in. Maybe next year...

Some records that got their musicians to be noticed again after a long time had a problem with the events that followed and that were beyond their control. Kirsty MacColl, for instance, didn't get a chance to fulfill the promise Tropical Brainstorm gave her. I mean, she was always on the edge of being recognized, but the label woes did their trick. I believe the platter I mentioned signified a better future not just thanks to the incredibly cheerful mood, which she did complement with an occasional dark subject matter. You noticed what I described? Yes, she would've fit the aughts and the previous decade well. She would've still been this eccentric lady with great music, since Tropical Brainstorm felt like an overture. Sadly, her death delegated that to a requiem.

Cinemax’s Outcast Season 2, Episode 1 Directed by Tricia Brock Written by Chris Black

* For a recap & review of the Season 1 finale, “This Little Light” – click here * For a recap & review of the next episode, click here. Can’t go wrong with starting on a Crowded House tune! And what about the demons left lurking in Rome, West Virginia? Right now, we see a young Kyle Barnes (Asher Miles Fallica) at the diner with his mom. Inside, the woman at the cash stares at her with malicious intent. There’s a spirit possessing her. Is it the one that founds it way inside Kyle’s mom all those years ago? In present day, Chief Giles (Reg E. Cathey) heads to that very same diner, looking for someone. Noises in the back lead him to a poor, possessed soul who runs when confronted, tearing his arms apart on barbed wire to get away. Kyle (Patrick Fugit) and his little girl Amber (Madeleine McGraw) are doing all right. Getting by, anyways. The world they live in is still a scary place, that’s not changed. Reverend Anderson (Philip Glenister) is kicking around, too. Filled with guilt. He burned down the trailer where Sidney (Brent Spiner) was hiding out, though the malevolent demon isn’t anywhere to be found. Anderson and Kyle aren’t on the same page anymore, as the rev doesn’t feel useful in the fight against evil nowadays. Anderson: “You think the devil is local? Sticks to the tri–county area?” Megan (Wrenn Schmidt) is being kept under close watch. She’s still not right, nor will she ever be, really. Her brother’s doing all he can to help, though between the possession and the tragedy she caused while under a demonic spell it’ll be a while before she can drag herself back from this dark, despair-filled pit. There’s also Patricia (Melinda McGraw), whose boy is gone, missing. The rev tries to assure her it wasn’t her fault, forces outside of her control took hold of the boy. Out around town Chief Giles is trying to find the trespasser he’d been chasing earlier. The Mayor (Toby Huss) certainly doesn’t see whey he’s so bent out of shape, and nobody’s too willing to buy into much Giles is saying lately after the ordeal with Anderson and everything else that happened. Later, Kyle and Giles meet to talk about Sidney. There are still so many answers left to be uncovered, understood. Neither Kyle nor Giles understand it fully, definitely not the latter. “Makes you wonder how far this thing goes,” the chief says, wondering aloud. And that’s a good point. How far have these demons reached? I’m willing to bet a lot further than only Rome. Anderson is trying to find a way to get past his own guilt, either by helping Patricia to find her son, or even helping himself along the road. He finds his way to a sort of backwoods-type church, where they say the darkness can be cast out if you’re seeking help. Could it be entirely the opposite? Are dark forces awaiting those who come in need at that makeshift chapel?

Kyle is out demon hunting, where he runs into Ogden (Pete Burris). He says Sidney’s gone, to the “beacon” that’s been calling him. Possibly the same place where Anderson ended up in the woods. Either way, Ogden is in bad shape – “He took my wife, he took my truck. Devil took my life, who gives a fuck?” – and dangerous, as well. After doing the bidding of his possessed wife and Sidney, he’s a ruined man. Rightfully so, for all the harm and horror he’s been a part of so long. Before the man can be of any help he blows a hole through his face. Up with her aunt Megan, Amber tries to explain she did nothing wrong to her husband; it was the “black thing” her own father knows so well and told her about before. Smart little lady. I worry, though. She’s surrounded by so much darkness, there’s always a fear she might get sucked up in it like she came so close to in Season 1. She goes on exploring the old place where her dad and aunt used to spend time as kids, a place they didn’t associate with good memories. In the attic, she finds cousin Holly by herself. She says she’s hiding from Amber, believing her cousin made her mother sick. That’s so sad, breaks my heart. Kyle does manage to get names from Ogden before he dies, and he gets in contact with the reverend for help. They go forward to find the remaining name left on the list: Joshua Austin (Gabriel Bateman). The boy is in the dark by himself. He tells the two Sidney and his mother told him what Kyle did was wrong, that he ought to be in trouble with the law. Kyle soon gets answers from him, then he and Anderson are no their way once more.

With a burned down house and a body inside, Chief Giles is butting heads with Officer Nunez (Briana Venskus). I can see her causing him problems sooner than later. But the real story is that Joshua’s mother returns, and Kyle lays hands on her. The reaction of the demon is clear, though Anderson believes something isn’t right. The demon has taken her over, “too far gone” to help. This sends Kyle into a rage, wanting to end this once and for all before the demons ruin another young child’s life like they did his and his mother. So he goes to find Sidney, finding only Joshua’s father. The man isn’t well. “You just delayed the inevitable,” he tells Kyle before attacking him viciously. When the demon starts sucking the essence from him, Anderson gets there in time with Giles to pop a few shots in the guy. We discover there’s no releasing the demonic spirit after it’s integrated itself deep enough into the human host; then, dead is dead. At the hospital, Kyle goes to see his mother. He meets with Dr. Park (Hoon Lee) about what’s going on with her; she’s actually dying now after decades of inactivity in a coma-like state. He has to face her death, alongside everything else. Simultaneously, Anderson demands Giles put him in jail for killing Patricia’s son when he burned down the trailer, trying any way he can to rid himself of the guilt he feels crushing his soul. There are a lot of things happening in Rome, West Virginia! Very interesting opener to Season 2. I’m looking forward to more. This series has been great since the first episode, and I feel like they’re hitting a beautiful, disturbing, fresh stride with every subsequent chapter.

Song of the Day, February 22: It Won’t Be Long by Alison Moyet Today's song is It Won't Be Long by Alison Moyet. After leaving Yazoo, the singer had a few very successful years on the British charts, but began to chafe under label pressure to keep churning out similar-sounding hits.

[eurovision-revisited]

Eurovision 2005 - Number 64 - Katie Price - "Not Just Anybody"

Back to the music and... wait! What's this?! Katie Price at number 64?! Have I gone mad?

Well possibly. For those who aren't in the UK, Katie Price is best known as a glamour model and TV personality. She features in tabloid gossip columns on a regular basis and has lived a life bounding from one extreme incident to another including driving bans, being sexually abused by a number of different men, she's been carjacked, gone bankrupt, been treated for cancer, and been placed under a restraining order. She's been keeping gossip columnists in work for decades.

What she isn't, even in her own words, is a singer. Regarding a later single release she is quoted as saying

I'm not a singer, this is just something that I'm doing for fun. It's not like I'm worried about getting a chart position or number one, this is purely for fun. Whether people like it or not, I'm doing it.

That brings us to Making Your Mind Up 2005 and Not Just Anybody. In 2005 the BBC was in a fairly desperate position. 2003 had been a disaster, and while the UK had scored points in 2004, they hadn't scored nearly as many as they had expected to. Nobody serious in the UKs very successful music industry wanted anything to do with Eurovision. There was also the growing belief in the news media and among the general population that Europe had a grudge against the UK. Who on Earth would enter a competition under these circumstances? Why not Katie Price?

Behind the scenes, there were some people prepared to participate in this stunt. Not Just Anybody was written by some relatively big names. There's Deni Lew who had written for Katie's boyfriend and soon to be husband Peter Andre, who had actually had three UK number one singles. There's Nicky Martin, who'd been song-writing in the UK music industry for decades. There's also Pete Glenister who has worked with a whole host of names including Alison Moyet, Kirsty MacColl and Johnny Marr.

Following the prevailing trend of ethno-girl bops after both Türkiye and Ukraine's wins, it's got the Turkish swirling strings, and uses some interesting chord sequences. It swirls and sways matching the lyrics which are all about seduction. It's a heady mix of intoxicating synths and a vocal line that traces a curving pathway above the excitable, uncontrollably besotted instrumental.

And it's sung almost entirely flat. Very flat.

Katie is definitely not a singer. The choreography is weird and clunky, and she's not seductive - even if she thinks she is. The mismatch between her ability as a singer and actress, and the qualities of the team behind the songs are are startling. Then there's the pink catsuit. The entire thing has repeat of 2003 written all over it. It's a car crash.

It came second. It even won the Internet portion of the voting. Luckily for the UK and the BBC, both the SMS vote and the televote had it firmly behind the winner in second place, but still second place! This more than anything sums up the UK public's attitude to Eurovision in 2005. The fact that the BBC didn't use any jury for this competition is itself an indication that the light entertainment department responsible for this show were either just giving up themselves, and had opted to roll with it, or that they had badly misjudged what the public would vote for.

The thing is that, awful as this performance is, I got the song itself stuck in my head for days. It's one of the single most earworm infested tunes of the year and in other hands, this could have been a banger. It's good song-writing clearly taking aim squarely for the Eurovision-meta circa 2005. Not a winner, no, but not embarrassing either. It's so catchy that it managed to battle it's way through the bracket to this level - despite the singing.

Or maybe even because of the singing? There's something intoxicating (maybe even intoxicated) about the quality of Katie's singing that fits exactly with the theme of the song. Ignoring the visual and listening to the song, there's also a sense of desperation to Katie's voice. Pleading almost. It sounds sad. From a place of genuine despair. It's completely undercut by the visuals and by the actual plea for votes at the end, but I can't ignore that this is someone begging to be loved by whoever the song is about, but most of all by the public. It's not intended, but the whole thing resembles an auditory bruise spreading from a point of impact in Katie's past.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it - but this song is one of those that deserves thorough analysis from a UK Eurovision history perspective at least.

After this adventure, Katie Price did try to release a couple of other singles, but her career has continued largely at a break-neck place of tragedy, controversy, and scandal. She hasn't tried to enter Eurovision again.

[mitjalovse]

I have mentioned that the 90's European electronic musicians have a certain idealism in their tunes, though they also favoured the feelings of euphoria in their massive pieces. I mean, the song in the link by Corona should be seen as a celebration of that emotion, but that description might be selling this a bit short. You see, all these popular compositions from that period might seem like your usual party anthems, yet they contain some melancholy as well. Actually, I do ask myself why that is – are these works nostalgic on their own and do we feel wistful towards them? Whatever the answer to this might be, we must admit Corona captured the fleeting sensation of happiness by suggesting the other side of all this exuberance.
