Eurovision Fact #1418:
The bid for host city for the 2027 Eurovision Song Contest is now down to either Burgas or Sofia.
Plovdiv and Varna, the other two cities in the running, did not have venues that met the technological requirements, nor could they meet EBU production requirements.

There are a few things I want to discuss about this Bulgarian song. The Bulgarian TV sucked us in by having a bland reveal performance, and a blank clip. They did not attract hype or focus. I never expected this to qualify for the final. I did not expect that an opening draw to a semi final would work. I never expected that they would go so out of left field with their presentation that they ended up in a box. Never did I expect that they would pull this off, but clearly they did.
One of the reasons they pulled this off is they chose to create their own setting on the stage. The use of the floor and the screens and anything else was left to the end. They set their performance in what appeared to be the waiting room of a doctor's surgery. While Dara looked wonderful in her outfit, everyone else appeared to have applied their makeup in the dark or they were having a stroke at the time, dressed in brown. They took the opportunity when not singing to fill it with movement seated on chairs which were precise and sharp. You can't have two left feet while seated. They also showed that while standing they were capable of the same kind of performance, which was more frenzied towards the conclusion.
The song is lyrically not special if you read it, but when combined with the music it works. I think it is because it doesn't really stand still. There is manoeuvres this way and that. Slow bit, and fast bits. I guess it is what makes it a highlight, and they crafted a performance to take advantage of all nuances of the song.
As a bonus: Bangaranga has a dual meaning for Australians. To 'Bang' is a crude slang expression for intercourse while a 'Ranga' is a redhead. So the title of the song translates to intercourse with a redhead. Best wishes.

This gentleman is handsome and they dressed him like he is off to the leather club after the event. He also had ladies in leather leotards but they would not fit into the formally mentioned leather club.
It begins with the artist and the 'Michelle' girl in a giant silver flower which reminds me of the thing that was spinning around behind the stage when the contest was presented in 1979. It is all visually interesting, but reflections mean we see a cameraman in the background. Anyway, the flower opens and we find there are five Michelle not just the one in the flower.
The song and the performance are not extraordinary and there are no other real tricks. He sings in a gravelly voice and the ladies do choreography.

I have one singular problem with this Romanian song performance; the music was too loud in order to hear Alexandra's extraordinary performance. There was so much of it erased by the thunderous music which was missed. But what was missed in vocals was present in theatre.
The Romanian entry has the controversial title of 'Choke me' which the white bread people took to mean violence and sexual gratification. It could mean anything under the right spotlight. They presented it like something or someone was trying to bind her and suppress her. Now due to interpretation, she either fought them off and she was the Champion, or she inhibited what she feared and became a more powerful Champion. You decide. In the end she was standing alone and it was a powerful statement.
Romania is generally another country I don't like so much. This is breathtakingly wonderful. It's dark and gritty. It tells a story that is present in a novel way to make the viewer uncomfortable and pay attention. Alexandra was excellent with a powerful vocal and visual performance. Her band gave it everything and it all worked well.

I'm not a fan of Delta Goodrem, but boy am I proud of this. It was presented in a delicate way to begin with. It had posturing towards the middle and then became more alive in the end. They chose well in playing Delta in gold, possibly the best dressed artist of the show. They chose well by giving her a piano to play in the middle and then to have her on the piano and ascending upwards at the climax. And to add to all of this, she rose onto the piano in her high heeled shoes.
The song was not a modern song for me. It sounded like a song that was produced for Delta a decade ago and pulled out a box for the occasion. I am not complaining in any way. It got the nation to fourth in a very tough year and competitive year.

How did this happen? I don't know what witchcraft, blackmail voodoo the Italians perform on the voters each year that they finish up so high on the scoreboard. Is there some sort of subliminal message that is shown which I am not getting? I don't like it this year. I didn't like them last year either.
Let's begin with the best parts; the dancers. They had extraordinary skills and were highly polished and highly choreographed. They looked like they had real mates as they performed. The concept where they are preparing the blonde one getting married is incredibly clever and it was worked really well. There was a joy to the dancing and it felt like good fun. It was staged very nicely too. There was an elegance to the background and the performance, too. There was a nice moment when the would be husband and wife were dancing alone, and that was sweet.
I've said it; I don't like the song and I've tried. I guess I don't like Sal. He's had his Botox injections and his face does work as it should. What I thought was interesting was that he was singing as if he was a ghost for the majority of the song. The dancers didn't acknowledge him or interact with him and he was just singing on his own. He did touch the girl's hand, but that was it. The Italian flag in the dress was cheesy.
Eurovision Fact #1406:
Canada will be joining the Eurovision Song Contest in 2027. The announcement was made on Canada Day by Marie-Philippe Bouchard, president and CEO of CBC/Radio-Canada.
Canada shows a strong interest in Eurovision, as they were among the top three countries from which the Rest of the World vote was cast the most.
Many Canadian artists have participated in Eurovision already: Celine Dion represented Switzerland in 1988, Natasha St-Pier represented France in 2001, and La Zarra represented France in 2023.

I was bitterly disappointed for Finland finals night, but it was beaten fair and square. Taking an epic performance from a national final and placing it on a new stage can work in most cases without too much hassle. The entries that scored higher than Finland had recreated their national final performances in some new way or adapted them for the new stage. The Finns didn't as much.
Getting that all out of the way, I still find this breath taking to watch. I am not tired of seeing it or hearing. Pete looking all defeated, solemn and downtrodden while Linda appears to be that bitch with a violin, confident and powerful. I enjoy the power of the violin and how it captivates the song when Pete is not singing. Pete for his part is extraordinary in his singing and his act on stage. I do think that the backing vocals needed to have been better, but that's my issue.
