A Quick Reveal

As you all know by now, I'm on a venture to rank all the Eurovision years in bits and pieces that I call goals. My first goal is to get to 2002 as that was the year I was born. And depending on how my schedule looks this winter, I may try to get a few years taken care of as well.

This past weekend, I ranked the 2006 songs, which means that I have listened to 1 entry from Monaco, and have listened to all of the entries from Armenia. The latter achievement is what I would like to discuss.

Armenia has had an illustrious run through Eurovision. In 16 editions (missing the 2012 and 2021 contests and the cancelled 2020 contest), they reached the top 10 EIGHT times. Which if you do the math, that's an impressive half. The first top 10 was their very first entry "Without Your Love" by André and the most recent being this year's "Jako" by Ladaniva, both scoring 8th place finishes. Their best finish is a pair of 4th place finishes coming in 2008 ("Qélé, Qélé" by Sirusho) and 2014 ("Not Alone" by Aram Mp3). Aside from that, they've made the Grand Final on all but 3 editions.

Now, with that infodump out of the way, my 3 favorite entries from Armenia have to be 2023 ("Future Lover" by Brunette), 2022 ("Snap" by Rosa Linn), and 2007 ("Anytime You Need" by Hayko).

Sirusho - Der Zor

[the-red-thread-70-w-blog]

Sirusho - Huh-Hah

[jcink-resource]

Archie Renaux requested as the ghost of a witch brother played by Matthew McNulty. Not forgotten and not gone, family secrets and too much pride lead to his death.  The question is, what now? 

Jade Tailor witch requested for a fellow witch friend Mamoudou Athie.  Something in her life drove her into attempting to make a Deal with a demon, abandoning the magical path he believes they both share.  Sometimes a betrayal is necessary to survive.

Sirusho witch requested as a member of a family plot.  Come along with the mother and sisters to make right a curse put on the family.  After years of being forcibly apart how can everything come together again?

Open-faced demon requested by the Blanca Suarez ghost they made a Deal with.  Not even death ends the deal and they are allies still.  The question is will they succeed in their endgame and will both parties be satisfied if they do?

Visiting Eurovision 2008

To do a very brief "long story short" testimonial of my Eurovision journey, I got interested and listened to all the songs in the 2021 contest. Shortly after, during my school's winter break, I speedran the rest of the years down to 2009. I had contemplated picking the project back up, but hadn't for the longest time (that was 2021, and here we are in 2023).

So, almost 2 years and 2 contests later, here I am again. I added another year to my growing Eurofan Resume with 2008. I'm not going to do a full out ranking because I've done a LOT of long posts, and with 43 songs, that would be enough for a book. I'll bring up a few key entries (winner, host, personal winner) and maybe bring up some other thoughts.

The winner in 2008 was Russia with Dima Bilan's "Believe" and while I got chills when I heard it, it was also the first song I heard of the set, it kind of got pushed down by other entries I liked a little more, ranking 19th.

After winning in 2007, Serbia took up hosting duties with "Oro" by Jelena Tomasevic. And this one was on my playlist before the song was even done. Serbia did such a good job hosting with this song, and in my opinion, should be kind of what future host entries should look up to (I also partly say it as a joke).

Now for my winner....it was tough to choose between 2 countries as both songs were really good and were rather quick additions to my playlist when they appeared in the playlist. My 2nd place was Turkiyë's "Deli" by Mor Ve Ötesi. And my winner was..."Qélé Qélé" by Sirusho from Armenia! The song was just so infectious and is so easy to get stuck in my head (and not be annoying!).

Some entries that surprised me (as we wrap up), were Belgium, Croatia, and Moldova. I didn't realize I would find these entries good after seeing some low (I know that 2008 wasn't exactly a good year in the fandom's eyes). And with that, that's my Eurovision 2008 briefing!

If you want to know my thoughts about a country I didn't mention (or even expand on my opinions), don't be shy and comment or use the ask function and I'll do my best to get back to you!

That was so much fun, and I may do it again with another year sometime in the future, who knows!

Regardless of his sexuality,Gjon has stole my heart and wallet,I'm dying for some new music 😭😭 The class of 2021 has given us a lot of great artists to follow after the contest is over😍

The fact that Eurovision songs don't usually get big popularity here in Italy makes it hard for me to keep on following the career of lots of Eurovision artists... Luckily, there are websites keeping track of them and I can keep in touch with their music (first names coming to my mind: Sirusho, Iveta Mukuchyan, Loukas Giorkas...)
