Hi! Love your posts !! Suggestion for a fact (if you take those): Eurocat. The 1990 Eurovision featured an animated purple cat in the postcards (?) named Eurocat and I’ve never seen anyone mention anything about his existence. I only learned about him bc I was researching old shows and saw him mentioned on the Wikipedia page. 10/10

Eurovision Fact #477:

Eurocat was the mascot created for the 1990 Eurovision Song Contest in Zagreb. He appeared at the beginning of each postcard in an animated short that featured a blue background with the name of the country repeating on a diagonal and some cultural representation of the country being showcased that Eurocat would interact with.

For example, on the postcard for Spain, Eurocat blew bubbles that formed the Olympic rings, calling to the fact that Spain would host the Summer Games in two years.

Eurocat was created by Joško Marušić, who is credited for his as a member of the directors of the per-production materials for the contest for animation.

While introducing Belgium, commentator Terry Wogan spoke a bit about the mascot saying, "Eurocat! A tomcat who's slightly neurotic, not too silly, and eminently lovable." He also later said while introducing Luxembourg that he was "trying to ignore this cat," adding "I don't think he's gonna go away though," under his breath.

Hi! I'm studying Portuguese and always try to listen to music or read something in that language, but it's mainly from Brasil. What song from Portugal do you think matches with each of the JO boys? (It can be for the vibes, the lyrics, the aesthetic of the artist...)

Hi!! Sorry for taking a bit to reply. I had to think about this.

I asked my lovely @lovvecherrymotion for help with this haha

Joker out and Portuguese Music

Kris

Starting with the easiest one of them. Me and Ju didn't even argue on this one.

Doce is like THE girl band in Portugal. Is Kris into girl bands? Probably not, but the vibes are Kris. Slay girl and all. (+ it's an ESC song, Kris would be into it).

Also, lyrics-wise... it mentions the time a lot? He likes to have his day organized so it makes sense haha

(childhood song fr fr)

Jan

Ju showed me this song and I read the first lyrics and I was like "Yes. Jan".

First of all, the genre. Classic rock? Just makes sense for someone like Jan. Can you imagine him smoking out of window to this song? I surely can!

Lyrics: I don't know about you, but personally, I feel like the Damon shoot has a lot of mystery to it, and so does Jan. I feel like there are a lot of secrets he keeps away from the public (and that's fair, he doesn't own his private life to us). So... it just makes sense.

Nace

This song doesn't have a lot of lyrics, but it's a Portuguese classic.

Honestly, it's the 80's vibes. Pretty sure Nace has talked about how he likes 80's Japanese pop. Maybe he should try Portuguese 80's then.

Jure

Again, classic rock.

Xutos is like THE portuguese band.

Homem do Leme was the song chosen for Jure because it's all about boats and the sea and that reminds me of Barve Oceana, which reminds me of Jure hehe

Just vibes. He too would smoke to this song. I know it.

Bojan

Can't believe we managed to keep it in the 80's and 90's.

At first, I thought to give Bojan "Os peitos da cabritinha" (THE portuguese song).

Because I thought: he will like classics like Xutos but also Pimba singers like Rosinha and her songs with double meaning (I can proudly say I heard her live after Luciana Abreu hehe) . Quim Barreiros is that sweet middle spot.

But the more me and Ju talked, the more we realized Bojan could listen to literally anything from Portuguese music (even D'Zert).

So, Ju suggested this song. José Cid is a bit controversial IMO, but he is an amazing singer. And a song with multiple languages just makes sense for mister Yugoslavia.

This was fun! Good luck with your Portuguese studies! And may the odds be ever in your favor

4th place with 125 points

No thoughts just Sanja looking like she wants to die every time she announces a guest on her show

[exyusimp]

Speaking gods words, the English version of saša is the most dramatic stray away from the original

and novi fosili is actually so funny. they will make the boppiest most happiest sounding song and then you look at the lyrics and it's like "there's no hope for us!!! you stole all my dreams!!!!" and "shoo, shoo <3 i heard you're cheating on me with her again <3" like. literally our Neru.

Eurovision Fact #222:

Although the 1990 contest was technically held in Yugoslavia, the city of Zagreb was selected as the host city. The Croatian capital was selected because the winning Yugoslavian entry was the Croatian band Riva.

ngl i'm done with esc drama and esc in general for this year but i do wanna say i saw that mini interview with bojan where they asked him would they like to go again and he said while he is thankful for everything that they wouldn't because their score was low and it's not something they would like to experience again. he also criticized the way voting was done.

and this is what truly saddens me about this circus. like these people aren't stupid they all know and understand what happened. they all realized they never had any chance. ex yugoslavia countries never expect to win anyway. we know we don't have money to host it. but it's not like we are blind and don't see favouritism. they introduced jury votes because of us and we have to watch them be hypocritical and do the same thing they were so afraid we would do. so many artists already have and will give up on this whole thing. give it few years and there will be nothing but nepo babies with same generic recycled pop songs.

esc has always been and always will be political in one way or another. and everyone who is currently saying "get over it" you do know the worst thing you can possibly do in these situations is to stay passive? that just sends them a message they can do whatever they want and what people say doesn’t matter. you think anyone would be aware of poland fuckery if people didn't do their best to be vocal about it?

call me crazy for not thinking that 5 people shouldn’t have half of voting power as the whole country. i saw who was in our jury and they always put people who couldn't even qualify for esc but now they get to decide on finals? and this isn't even about finland/sweden thing i'm talking about jury points for countries like germany. scream and cry how jury consists out of professionals who rate things like vocals all you want but they have clear bias for certain type of songs and everything that doesn’t fit that gets sunk. doesn't even matter germany got low public votes too when overall jury gave more points to blanka and imma need y'all to be so fucking serious for a minute.

disappointing af and i don't even wanna look at this mess anymore.
