What are your favourite Eurovision songs?
Johnny Logan performed Euphoria at the semi finals this year and did a great job especially since he's 70 this month.
Ooh I just took a look - you're right, that was a great version and he's looking fantastic!
To be honest, I was never really interested in the ESC.🙈 As a child, this was exciting, especially since it was one of the few occasions when we young people were allowed to stay up until midnight.😹 Well, especially in the last few years it's been interesting to see which countries have joined forces; there was definitely a certain group that had obviously been passing points to each other for a few years. There were even rumors that they were conspiring specifically against Germany.🙄 But well, German songs really weren't that good in recent years...🤦🏻♂️ This year, the German song was initially given quite a good chance - until a few other countries presented their songs, since then we can count ourselves lucky again if we don't come last again.🤭
But according to the classics you listed: I have to admit, I don't know some of them. But I can completely agree with you, especially when it comes to Abba, Cliff Richards and Bucks Fizz. And “Safe Your Kisses for Me” is still a catchy tune from my childhood.😄
Time will tell whether the modern, current pieces will one day also be considered classics. The German Lena Meyer-Landrut (ESC 2010) is a bit like that. Her victory was completely unexpected. But without that fake English accent it probably wouldn't have happened...😜😅
In any case, we have something to look forward to tonight - well, after the Netherlands were apparently kicked out for unpleasant incidents...😒
I like your take on it and I thought the German entry this year was really good (I heard about the Netherlands but they've been a bit sketchy here with the details on the news 🤔). We did ok with the jury votes and got a big fat zero in the public vote 🤣 The Lena Satellite song stood out and deserved to win in 2010 and who doesn't like Nicole's song 'A Little Peace'? You have a decent record for ESC! If you got a chance to see WIndows 95 Man last night, I have to admit that it made me laugh and reminded me of how Eurovision used to be - a bit silly but for the right reasons! A nice winner though so all is good in the end 😀
@@PopMonkeyPodcast I'm very sorry, I'm a little late again.
Well, the ESC didn't used to be so much fun in former times. When the first really funny songs were performed, it was basically a scandal; people said they weren't taking this song contest seriously anymore. But the ESC should have been a big party a long time ago, that's true - and that's a good thing, in the early days it was all a comparatively dry affair.😉
Even in our Nicole's time this event was already more "party", but this "call for peace" from a very young lady simply hit the nerve of the times. The producer and composer Ralph Siegel had the right instinct, but he hasn't succeeded since then, especially in the last few years he has completely failed with his "big songs" at the ESC (okay, he wasn't the only German composer who has completely failed in the ESC because of his ego😈)... Unfortunately the Germans are an ungrateful people, in fact over time (actually even shortly after the ESC victory) people made a lot fun of Nicole's song, especially about the way she performed. Well, despite everything going on in the world right now, this song wouldn't stand a chance today, especially not at this kind of performance...😉
Well, I actually missed the ESC on TV this year again, I was busy elsewhere. But in the meantime I specifically watched the performances of GB, D and CH. I have to admit, I actually liked the German song, this man really has a good voice. But there wasn't much to be gained with this quite "basic" performance in these days.🙄 On this point, however, the British overdid it “a little”. It was definitely fun, but also somehow disturbing.😶😅 The Swiss song really wasn't bad, but if you take away the show and the person (and his self-portrayal), there's little left where the German song would have really been better (and I mean that objectively). But anyway, that's how the ESC works "today".😁 Many people were surprised by the Swiss victory, but over here it was highly rated early on...😉
But after the ESC is before the ESC, you can look forward to next year again.😄
@@PolLight3000 You make a good point in that we can't escape the politics in any of our countries. Here too, they are very unhappy with our song choices and our performance (it was rather OTT, shall we say!). I'll wait with interest for next year's entry from us and I will still aim to enjoy it, regardless of how we do (most likely not very well 😅). Always enjoy your thoughts on any subject!
@@PopMonkeyPodcast Well, in the last couple of years we Germans have never been really happy about who represented us at the ESC (this year was an exception, here the acceptance was much greater). That's why the selection process was changed again and again.😬 Everything was tried out, from direct voting by the audience to several more or less obscure mixed voting procedures to the completely “autocratic” and secret selection by the German ESC committee.🙈 Everything went completely wrong. This time the audience was on board again and things went much better, as we now know. It remains to be seen how the election of next year's ESC participant will work from a purely technical perspective and what kind of song and which musicians will come out of it...😉
I'm very happy if you like my thoughts, I really appreciate that. I hope that one day I don't disappoint you...🙏🏻🙇🏻♂️😀
🍀👋🏻
Have to say I'm supporting Ireland this year, it's not for everyone tho.
It looks like a favourite from what I'm hearing in the media. I must admit my first watch of it did take me by surprise - not your usual performance!
