Sunstroke Project & Lidia Isac - Portofino

“Sunstroke Project & Lidia Isac – Portofino” is a new song released in 2024. This collaboration brings together the popular Moldovan band Sunstroke Project and singer Lidia Isac. The song is sung in Italian and has a fresh, summer vibe. The lyrics of “Portofino” talk about a romantic evening in the beautiful Italian town of Portofino. The song describes the colorful city, the lighthouse, and the…

i am very tired and very stupid rn so of course it is an excellent time to address the romaniaboo/moldovaboo allegations

and while it would be useless to deny anything i would prefer to be judged appropriately

so:

not supporting evidence because i already liked them before my descent into whatever this is

hyphens

dragostea din tei (shut up)

the falx

the hammered dulcimer (yes, really)

moldova in eurovision (shut up twice)

acceptable evidence

Eurovision 2010s: 160 - 156

160. Margaret Berger - “I feed you my love” Norway 2013

This is definitely the section of the ranking where I feel comfortable enough to park the fan faves I like, but not love. 🤗 “I feed you my love”, definitely falls into that category for me. It’s a discount Robyn track, and one that liberally abuses its dubstepping budget. 

However, I kind of lowkey ADORE Maggie Burger (-mel giedroyc). ^_^ She seems like just.. a naturally evervescent sparkplug of a human? What really sells “I feed you my love” to me specifically is her diction. It’s like Mélovinese but even better, somehow. Enjoy this adverbatim transcript:

159. Lidia Isac - “Falling stars” Moldova 2016

Yes and I *also* feel comfortable enough ranking random NQs higher than celebrated runners up. 🤭

Real question: Is “Falling stars” really that much worse of a song than “Sound of silence”? I’d say the compositions are quite even  with the only real difference being the care they’re given, which Moldova, a poor country with a population of three million, simply can’t afford to do so, lacking both the talent and the resources. 

As hopeless as “Fallen stars” is though, I must commend Lidia Isac here: In spite of the very narrow odds she faced, she pulled of a very valiant attempt at qualification. I think she’s a engaging and has good chemistry with the astronaut dancer (who btw, forgot to take off his backstage pass <3 incompetence <3 <3 <3). I will never reneg on praising a plucky underdog, and Lidia is precisely that.  ________________________________________________________________

158. Leonor Andrade - “Há um mar que nos separa” Portugal 2015

Lmfao you forgot Leonor was still in this, didn’t you? Well let that be exactly why I rank her this high 🤗. Let me open with a Personal Leonor Anecdote: 

Back in 2016, a few of my friends and I did a CO-OP ranking of all entries between 2007 and 2016, ranking them in turns. With over 500 entries in the mix, everyone just *forgot* about Leonor and she quietly made it to 75th place without ever being in danger of getting taken out before. 😂

As you can expect, my Leonor Fandom initially stemned from how memorably unmemorable she is, but as all Ironic Appreciation goes, it’s only a matter of time before it sets itself as Unironic. Much like Lidia, Leonor is not a shabby or a money maker, but a spirited bottomgoddess. Her delivery is much more intense and fierce than you may remember. Kicking the air with her giant plateau heels <3 Aggressively oscillating her shoulder pads around as a means of punctuation <3  Incoherently yelling into a windmachine <3 Ah, the tactile futility of it all <3

________________________________________________________________

157. Tamara Todevska - “Proud” North Macedonia 2019 

Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirl

Oh dear how do I even tackle this one. Tamara still feels like a “Pleasant Random Underdog”, but she actually made he top 10!!! 😲

The gulf between “Proud as a song” and “Proud as a performance” is giant for me. I never cared about “Proud” as a song: It’s a stripped down power ballad with “relevant meaning”, which as you know is one of my least favourite Eurovision tropes. Also the “relevant meaning” here is female empowerment, which is awesome, but how much traction does that theme have in a song written by three white cisgender men? 

However, with their new name can the time for reinvention. North Macedonia went ToDevSka and it was beautiful. Tamara was a STAR and shone so bright (into the sky):

and I mean, man, for a song I don’t fundamentally care about, I sure as hell love revisiting “Proud” and it’s all because of Tamara. I thought she would be a Gabriela (Guncikova or Horn, both work) we instead got a Kostov/Dami. She injects SO MUCH credibility in her song by making it a personal experience directed at her daughter. Poised and dramatic, yet warm and inviting. Tamara is the heart and soul of “Proud”. Simply put, she was brilliant. 

I can’t think of anyone more deserving of being their country’s first top 10 placer after a 7 harsh NQs. Well done.  ________________________________________________________________

156. Soluna Samay - “Should’ve known better” Denmark 2012

More pleasant randoms!!

Okay, so I remember how I am going to slaughter the underwhelming 2012 entries before the next shade of green? We’re almost there, so the time has come. Get ready!

However, Soluna doesn’t belong to that group for me, so I’m getting her out of the way first. “Should’ve known better” has a lot of heart and I find it very endearing. Overachieving drummer girl <3 All the backing musicians/singer combos <3 bringing her own furniture. <3 “Should’ve known” better is just a very quaint indie darling that many people overlooked, but never fail to conjure up a smile. ^_^

FALLING STAR: MOLDOVA’S LIDIA ISAC ELIMINATED FROM THE VOICE OF ROMANIA | wiwibloggs

[hxxchulkim]

😍 4 goddesses (just add iveta and we'd be rollin!)

[magicaleurovision]

HEY LIDIA ISAC IS PARTICIPATING TO THE VOICE FRANCE :D I usually don't really like it when singers come to the Voice because they already have an audience, however, I like that Lidia explained how difficult it is for artists in her country to keep singing due to the lack of funding and the conditions of discography houses... She made the chair of Florent Pagny turn :) Florent Pagny is one of the most prominent figures of music in France (and beyond!), due to his extremely powerful voice (he sage everything from French pop to opera) and charisma. He's also the coach who's been doing the Voice since the very first season, so I think that Lidia Isac is wonderfully served with him, since she's a huge lover of French culture and music :)

[lunlumo]

In one of my previous posts I said Moldova always brings something crazy to the table so I decided to test that so behold:

MOLDOVA in Eurovsion appreciation post 🇲🇩

If I update tumblr will I get yellow and dark blue for fonts??

They participated 16 times, year after year like the champs, came last once (ooops), never won and I say they should for the vibes alone. Since 2005 they gave us:

This year's train folks (research shows that this is their third time competing yay)

Natalia Gordienko (2021 Sugar, still mopey that we didn't get dancing ice cream cones on eirovision stage)

DoReDos with their doors (2018 My Lucky Day)

Epic sax guy! Twice! The meme, the joy, the living legend, also their best result #3 (officially Sunstroke project, with Olia Tora in 2010)

My research reminded me of astronaut in 2016, they had astronaut! Still nq unfortunately (Falling Stars - Lidia Isac)

I want your love - Eduard Romanyuta in 2015 is a bop, bye

I loved A million by Aliona Moon and now I find out there is a moldavian Version?? Also look at her dress

I got decently into eurovision in 2012 so everything before is foggy. The rest of this list will be filled based on Google images and vibes first 5 results give me

These guys don't dissappoint, as I thought (2011 Zdob şi Zdub -So Lucky)

2009 looks fun *their entry because "Moldova 2009" gave me burning buildings and that probably wasn't fun (Hora Din Moldova - Nelly Ciobanu)

In 2008 they had...a couch?? (A Century of Love - Geta Burlacu)

2006 hiii Natalia didn't know you were there

These guys really never dissappoint (Zdob şi Zdub - Boonika Bate Doba, 2005, they were kn wheels, they had a GRANDMA with a DRUM on WHEELS, what a debut)

ESC2019 Preshow #22

22. IRELAND Sarah McTernan - “22″ SemiFinal 2, #02

Oh come on guys putting her at #22 was just a given, bear with me. Don’t tell me you did not see it coming. 😏 

ENTRY ANALYSIS

What I didn’t see coming however was a lovely entry from Ireland, but here we are. 😊 I’m not sure how we even got here? RTE claims they conducted an “extensive search” and got over 350+ submissions and the best they could come up with is apparently a generic bubblegum pop song by a muppet woman who was rejected from 1in360?

Still I enjoy this song. There’s something warm about “22″ that always makes it a pleasant listening experience. It sounds retro in a timeless, rather than dated, sort of way. Like, a song from Hairspray maybe?  (which Sarah definitely should be using because her giant fluffy ponytail keeps battering her face in that VC  😂)

I quite enjoy the lyrics as well: they’re banale and very silly, but in a good way:

~Everytime I’m with somebody I’m confusing him with you~

How does that even work, like... you decide to date and then sleep with someone and you spend the entire time imagining he’s someone else?  😂 I mean, think about it for a sec: you’re hooking up and letting some random dude bone you (or you bone some random dude/chick we don’t heteroshame/topshame here) but all you can think about is your ex? Imagine how awkward your sex life must be. 🤭 but let us move on before this turns into a Jack Whitehall sketch.

QUALIFICATION ODDS: not qualifying. 

Not a chance, sadly enough . "22″ joyfully bounces around in the Leonor Andrade Zone of “There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with this entry, but it’s never going to qualify, despite their best efforts” and it’s sad because I hardly ever like Ireland in ESC and when I do they always get drawfucked 😭 (RIP Sinéad Mulvey & Molly Sterling)

The issues Sarah struggles with though are problems which Leonor (or Svala, or Lidia Isac) never had deal with: Sarah’s live performances are sort of... listless? Lifeless? Slow? Inert? Definitely not something you’d want to pair with a cheerful and uptempo song such as “22″ It creates a disconnect that shouldn’t be there. As much as I regret saying it, I think Ireland will be the last place of the year. They’re just waiting to become an embarrassing mess, and when it happens you can be damn’ sure I’ll be there to affectionately poke fun at it, like always :-)

Projected Placement: 14th-18th in the SemiFinal.

Eurovision 2016 my top 42

Hello and welcome to another episode of this ESC top series, as I go back to May 10, 12 and 14, 2016, when the 61st edition of the contest was held in Stockholm, Sweden, after Måns Zelmerlöw’s victory in Vienna last year. 42 countries took part, while Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Croatia returned to the contest, Portugal withdrew and Romania was disqualified because of a debt after they submitted a song. This year we saw the voting system change, now the jury votes and the televote are added separately to make the final result, and I must say this was a brilliant idea because it makes the contest way more exciting. The contest was won by Ukraine and Jamala with the song 1944, making this their second victory overall in the contest. Also this year is so special for me because it was the first year I saw the contest live in YouTube and it was the first one where I got involved with the fandom, and now this contest has a special place in my heart. And now, let’s review the songs in this amazing ESC year. 

1st Place: FRANCE/Amir-J’ai cherché (Real Placing: 6th-257 points) 

Oh sweet sweet Amir Hotdad, this song is perfect, I love him so much, and his voice is so beautiful, the music is amazing and the lyrics are perfect, and this was my winner back then and my love for this song grows with every listen because it’s very awesome, and it was so close for a top 5 result. YOUUUUUU 

2nd Place: UKRAINE/Jamala-1944 (Real Placing: 1st-534 points) 

At first I didn’t like this song, but it slowly and steady grew on me, and in the day of the second semifinal I fell in love with it, Jamala has such an amazing voice, the song is so sad, but powerful and the music is so perfect, and when it was the final I was thinking on a possible Ukrainian victory and it happened, and i was so happy for her, I think this is a 100% deserved winner and now I listen to Jamala in a daily basis because she’s so awesome. 

3rd Place: RUSSIA/Sergey Lazarev-You are the only one (Real Placing: 3rd-491 points) 

Another hot and handsome man, he’s like a dream... and the song IS SUCH AN AMAZING ONE, the music is epic, he has an amazing voice and the performance, THAT BLOODY PERFORMANCE IS PERFECT, I was rooting so hard for this one in 2016 and I was sad because he lost, despite winning the televote, I’m so in love with this song and I hope he returns for revenge. 

4th Place: ARMENIA/Iveta Mukuchyan-LoveWave (Real Placing: 7th-249 points)  

Another song that captured me when it was released, her voice is so stunning, she’s so beautiful, the music is very dark but it’s epic, and the performance is so perfect, I loved the lighting and the whole package is stunning. I also love the music before the chorus. Such a stunning entry. 

5th Place: BELGIUM/Laura Tesoro-What’s the pressure (Real Placing: 10th-181 points) 

Yeees this is a very good song as well, this always put a smile on my face, she has a lot of charisma, the music has a retro vibe which is lovely and her voice is so cool, also the performance is amazing and it’s perfect. I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH. 

6th Place: BULGARIA/Poli Genova-If love was a crime (Real Placing: 4th-307 points) 

POLIIIIII YOU’RE BACK, and with a very beautiful song, I love the music so much, her voice is stunning, she’s so cute and the message of the song is perfect, I always dance to this song and the chorus is so amazing, of course this was a powerful return, and what a result she had: a top 5 result, and I was so happy for her. 

7th Place: CZECH REPUBLIC/Gabriela Gunčíková-I stand (Real Placing: 25th-41 points) 

Awwww the first time they were in the final and they scored 0 points with the televote, which is a bit unfair because this is a very good ballad, she has an amazing voice, the performance was cute, maybe the number 2 position wasn’t the best idea for this song but still I like it so much, and I screamed when I saw they were going to the final. 

8th Place: MOLDOVA/Lidia Isac-Falling stars (Real Placing: 17th SF1-33 points)

I know this might be an unpopular opinion, but this is one of my guiltiest pleasures ever, I love the music, her voice is a bit flat but still is good, and the song is cute, maybe the performance was a bit boring, and this needed a brighter background, anyway this is a very good song and I love it so much. 

9th Place: AUSTRALIA/Dami Im-Sound of silence (Real Placing: 2nd-511 points) 

The runner up from the night, and I think it was a very good result for them, Dami’s voice is perfect, the performance was flawless, the song is so good, the music, the lyrics are fine and I was a bit shocked when I saw that she wasn’t going to win the whole thing. It would’ve been an amazing winner. 

10th Place: SPAIN/Barei-Say yay! (Real Placing: 22nd-77 points)  

Another song I can’t understand how it finished so low, the arena was on fire, the music is so good, she has an amazing voice and it’s a very catchy song, maybe the performance wasn’t the best one for this song, it was a bit lame, but still I always dance to this song and it’s one of Spain’s best recent entries. 

11th Place: AUSTRIA/Zoë-Loin d’ici (Real Placing: 13th-151 points)

I loved this song from the beginning, it has a French vibe that makes this so enjoyable, her voice is so sweet, the music is perfect, the staging was awesome and she looked like a princess on that stage. I was so happy when I saw her qualifying and getting in the televote top 10, a very deserved result. 

12th Place: GERMANY/Jamie-Lee-Ghost (Real Placing: 26th-11 points/last) 

Why this song came last in the final? I never saw it coming, the music is so mysterious, her voice was a bit shaky that night but I still think this entry is so good and deserved much more on the final, maybe her clothes were the problem here. 

13th Place: LATVIA/Justs-Heartbeat (Real Placing: 15th-132 points) 

So many hot guys this year, and Justs is not the exception, the song is so modern and perfect, the music is so amazing, his voice is so special, mostly in the chorus, the performance is amazing and I’m in love with his voice. I think this deserved a higher place on that night. 

14th Place: CYPRUS/Minus One-Alter ego (Real Placing: 21st-96 points) 

YEEEEES ROCK, this is a very powerful rock song, I love the main singer’s voice and he’s handsome, the performance is a bit weird, and full of light and cages, but still it’s according to the lyrics of the song, and I love the music so much, and I think I’ve heard this before somewhere, still I like this song so much. 

15th Place: BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA/Dalal & Deen feat. Ana Rucner and Jala-Ljubav je (Real Placing: 11th SF1-104 points) 

Seriously they couldn’t find a group name? This entry is pure epicness, and I fell in love with this song when it came out, and I thought they could be in the final, and I was shocked when they didn’t reach it. They sang it so well, the music is beautiful, maybe the problem here was the staging but this is a very good song. I think this song deserved so much the final.  

16th Place: ISRAEL/Hovi Star-Made of stars (Real Placing: 14th-135 points)

When this song came out I hated it so much, then the revamp came and this was miles better and it had a magical feeling to it, he has such a charming voice and the music is perfect, and I loved it when I saw the live performance, it was so beautiful and I was happy for him when he reached the final. A very beautiful song. 

17th Place: THE NETHERLANDS/Douwe Bob-Slow down (Real Placing: 11th-153 points) 

I love this entry because it has a country feeling to it and it’s very pleasant, his voice is so cool, the staging is so perfect for this song and he’s so cute on stage, that pause at the middle confused me so much but now I find it so lovely. Overall this entry is so good and I’m glad it finished so high on the night. 

18th Place: SERBIA/Sanja Vučić ZAA-Goodbye (Shelter) (Real Placing: 18th-115 points) 

Wow, the lyrics here are so strong, her voice is very good and the music inspires me so much, the only thing i didn’t like here was her dress, it was horrible, anyway this song is amazing and she defended it so well, and I thought she would’ve been top 10 because of that performance. 

19th Place: LITHUANIA/Donny Montell-I’ve been waiting for this night (Real Placing: 9th-200 points) 

Oh hey Donny, this song at first had me in a neutral status, but it grew slowly on me and I liked it so much at the end, and the fact he came 9th was so amazing because it was the second top 10 result for Lithuania, and his voice is as good as in 2012, and the performance is beautiful. 

20th Place: FYR MACEDONIA/Kaliopi-Dona (Real Placing: 11th SF2-88 points)

Queen Kaliopi is back, and sadly she didn’t reach the final that year, and it’s  a shame because the song is very good, it’s a very nice rock ballad and reminds me of the 80′s songs, her voice is as strong and powerful as she was in 2012, the staging wasn’t so good but she’s so stunning. She deserved so much more that night. 

21st Place: HUNGARY/Freddie-Pioneer (Real Placing: 19th-108 points) 

Hello handsome Freddie, this song is very very good, the music is so epic, his voice is raspy and I find it interesting, the performance is so powerful and he is amazing on stage, and I’m always distracted because he’s so handsome. 

22nd Place: ITALY/Francesca Michielin-No degree of separation (Real Placing: 16th-124 points)

Another lovely Italian song, her voice is so sweet, and she reminds me of Laura Pausini so much, the staging is so colorful, is like a garden on stage, the music is very lovely and yeah, I like this song, maybe the running order killed it a little. 

23rd Place: BELARUS/Ivan-Help you fly (Real Placing: 12th SF2-84 points) 

This song has a lot of power, and the music is the best part of this song, his voice is good and the performance is so cool, and when he said he was going to be naked surrounded by wolves I was like what? I like this song so much, it’s very nice. 

24th Place: NORWAY/Agnete-Icebreaker (Real Placing: 13th SF2-63 points)

The song with 3 songs in it, this is a very nice one, she has a nice voice and the music is so good, the performance is very icy and she looked so nervous on stage, and I was surprised when she didn’t reach the final, I was so convinced about it. 

25th Place: GREECE/Argo-Utopian land (Real Placing: 16th SF1-44 points)

This is historic, the first ever non qualification of Greece, and I can see why this failed to impress somebody, but I enjoy this song because it has a lot of Greek elements to it and they make this song so nice, it’s a guilty pleasure. Maybe they had a lot of confidence when they selected this song.  

26th Place: SAN MARINO/Serhat-I didn’t know (Real Placing: 12th SF1-68 points) 

Disco daddy Serhat is here bringing a nice song, I remember this was originally a ballad, but then the disco version came and this is epic, the music is so retro, his voice is so deep and causes me eargasms and he’s such a gentleman on stage. This is one of my biggest guilty pleasures, and the fact he was so high in the semi says something about this. 

27th Place: AZERBAIJAN/Samra-Miracle (Real Placing: 17th-117 points) 

This song is good, it’s very radio friendly, but I think it’s a bit dull and the performance was a bit disappointing, as well as her voice, she was a bit off key in the chorus, the music is powerful. This entry had a lot of potential, but it was a bit overshadowed for other pop songs that were better than this one. 

28th Place: UNITED KINGDOM/Joe & Jake-You’re not alone (Real Placing: 24th-62 points) 

This entry isn’t so bad, they sing okay, the music is lovely and it’s a cute song, but sadly this is a bit flat in a quite strong field of songs, still I think it’s a very good song and the performance is so nice. 

29th Place: CROATIA/Nina Krajlić-Lighthouse (Real Placing: 23rd-73 points) 

This song was one of my personal favorites before the contest, the music is beautiful, the lyrics are nice and it was so promising, but then the live version came with that horrible dress and a shaky voice so I can understand how this scored so badly in the night. 

30th Place: FINLAND/Sandhja-Sing it away (Real Placing: 15th SF1-51 points)  

Oh this song is very good, on studio, live it was a mess because she sang a bit off key, the music is so uplifting and the lyrics are so carefree. IMO the Finnish song that year should’ve been No Fear by Saara Aalto, but who knows the result she would’ve had. 

31st Place: GEORGIA/Nika Kocharov & Young Georgian Lolitaz-Midnight gold (Real Placing: 20th-104 points) 

When I saw the name of the group I was like “oh a Japanese themed band” but then I realized it wasn’t the case. This song is weird, but the best part of this one is the last part when everything is like psychedelic. Such an interesting choice. 

32nd Place: ALBANIA/Eneda Tarifa-Fairytale (Real Placing: 16th SF2-45 points) 

Speaking of ruined songs, this song when it was in Albanian and it was the FiK version it was very good, but the revamp came and it was a hot mess, the song lost it’s charm and the performance was so stiff, and I was sad about it because she has a strong voice. 

33rd Place: IRELAND/Nicky Byrne-Sunlight (Real Placing: 15th SF2-46 points)

When this song was released, it was my favorite song at that date, and I thought this had a chance of reaching the final, but then the live performance came and it was quite a mess, and that background was depressive. Still this is a very enjoyable song. 

34th Place: SLOVENIA/ManuElla-Blue and red (Real Placing: 14th SF2-57 points) 

This is like a Taylor Swift song, and she looks a lot like her, her voice is good and the music is pleasant, I must say that this song is nice but nothing special. Still the performance is very good and she knew how to defend her song. 

35th Place: SWITZERLAND/Rykka-The last of our kind (Real Placing: 18th SF2-28 points) 

This song is good, nothing out of the ordinary but I liked the NF performance more than the ESC performance, here she’s only doing squats throughout all the songs and it looked very cheap so I can understand how this song failed to impress somebody. 

36th Place: MALTA/Ira Losco-Walk on water (Real Placing: 12th-153 points)

This song is good, the music is nice and she has such a strong voice, sadly I find it a bit flat and boring at some point. I must admit that I liked Chameleon more than this song, and her 2002 entry was miles better than this song. 

37th Place: ICELAND/Greta Salóme-Hear them calling (Real Placing: 14th SF1-51 points)  

Another song I couldn’t understand the hype around it, the best thing of this song is the chorus, but at the same time almost all the song is the chorus repeated many many times in different ways, her voice is good and the performance was great, so I thought this would’ve reach the final, but it didn’t so I was kinda happy, still I don’t hate the song as I did back in 2016. 

38th Place: MONTENEGRO/Highway-The real thing (Real Placing: 13th SF1-60 points) 

Since the first time I listened to this entry, I never understood it, the music has a lot of changes that I always find hard to process, they aren’t bad singers but this song isn’t my cup of tea. 

39th Place: DENMARK/Lighthouse X-Soldiers of love (Real Placing: 17th SF2-34 points) 

Hmmmm, this song is nice but it’s a bit flat, and it’s a shame because this song had a lot of potential. The music is okay, it’s like a song from a 90′s boyband but they don’t sing so well. Also the performance was a bit of a letdown, which was a bit sad. 

40th Place: POLAND/Michał Szpak-Color of your life (Real Placing: 8th-229 points) 

Another song that many people like, but for me it’s a very boring song, his voice is nice, I love his jacket but still this isn’t very special for me, I try to like it but no, nothing happens. Also I was surprised when I saw the televote result, it was shocking. 

41st Place: ESTONIA/Jüri Pootsman-Play (Real Placing: 18th SF1-24 points)  

Ummmm this song isn’t my cup of tea but I thought it was going to be in the final, but when I saw that performance I was bored by it, the song isn’t so special, his voice is awesome but no, I don’t like this song like most of people do. 

42nd Place: SWEDEN/Frans-If I were sorry (Real Placing: 5th-261 points)

NO NO NO NO NO, this song isn’t good, he’s talking and it makes the song so boring, I thought this song wasn’t a top 10 contender and when I saw it finished 5th I was so angry. IMO one of the worst songs from Sweden, that years Mello had way better songs.
