Monday, Jan 29, 2024 I'd like to chat a bit about Eurovision, specifically the 2024 season. There are actually a few songs that I really enjoy, but two of them stand out to me the most. The first one is called 'Here to Stay' by Sofia Colle. It's a fantastic tune. And then there's 'Zorra' by Nebulosa, which has this amazing disco-inspired vibe. 'Here to Stay' feels like a perfect fit for Eurovision, to be honest. Moving on to the second national selection, Melodi Grand Prix from Norway 2024, ...

Monday, Jan 29, 2024 I've been following the 2024 Eurovision. It's just that I wasn't as keen to watch it as last year. Last year, I would watch; let's say, if there were UMK songs being released, I would listen to them right away, but this time, I took my time and waited until I really had some proper free time to actually listen to all of them in one go. So far, I've listened to Vidbir, MGP, UMK, ESCZ, and Benidorm Fest. I want to start with Vidbir and ESCZ. Yes, there's actually not a sing...

Monday, Jan 8, 2024 Today, I would like to discuss Eurovision. One of my favorite songs and winners in Eurovision is Alexander Rybak's "Fairytale." Out of the blue, that song has gained popularity again for some reason. I believe it's probably because of TikTok or something. However, I won't be discussing the original version of Alexander Rybak's song. Instead, I will compare it with another cover by someone else from Norway, a participant from 2015 representing Norway. They covered "Fairytal...

Saturday, 18 Nov 2023 Let's talk about the slogan change, or in this case, the lack thereof, in Eurovision. They announced that they will be keeping the last year's slogan, which was "United by Music," a slogan I think is pretty good, to be honest. However, they also announced that there will be no other slogans; in the sense that "United by Music" is now the permanent slogan. I think that's probably—I know the slogan is great, "United by Music," it makes sense, rather than "The Sound of Beau...

Wednesday, 15 Nov 2023 Bonjour, tout le monde. Today, I will listen to a song. To be honest, I did not expect this at all. France is the first country to release its song for the Eurovision Song Contest. It's mid-November, by the way. Usually, we get a song towards the end of December, probably between Ukraine or Albania. Most likely, it's Albania, but now we have a new song from France in mid-November. So, that's quite surprising. The other thing I want to talk about is the fact that the ar...

Sunday, 5 Nov 2023 I will talk about Eurovision today, specifically focusing on "Voilà" sung by Barbara Pravi, who represented France in Eurovision 2021. "Voilà" is a great song, and it comes to mind when I think about her victory. I'm trying to recall the name of the national selection in France in 2021—it's something like Eurovision: C'est vous qui décidez, I can't quite remember. Regardless, she won, and I would have been disappointed if she hadn't. It's a very French song, both in genre ...

Wednesday, 1 Nov 2023 I've got another one. Roko, who sang "The Dream," representing Croatia in Eurovision 2019. Yeah, I love that song. I believe he won Dora, Croatia's national selection for Eurovision in 2019. Some people say it's cheesy, and I kind of agree, but it's still a good song. I really, really like it. Then, I think he performed his song again, maybe in the year after, possibly in 2020. It was a longer version of "The Dream," and the most Eurovision part of his song, he sang it ...

Wednesday, 1 Nov 2023 Bonjour. Today, I want to talk about Eurovision. I don't know if any of you know this song from 2000 and Whatever from... I honestly forgot who performed it. Oh my God, Let me check it first. Electric Fields! They performed it in Australia's national selection for Eurovision 2019. I've listened to all the songs, and this one stood out because it was different compared to the others. We all knew that staging this song would be difficult because it has challenging elements...
