Lasgo - Some Things (2002, Album)

[fly-to-rainbow-ray]

Lasgo - Something

[my-chaos-radio]

Release: June 15, 2001

Lyrics:

I don't wanna say I'm sorry

'Cause I know there's nothing wrong

Don't be afraid, there's no need to worry

'Cause my feelings for you are still strong

Hold me in your arms

And never let me go

Hold me in your arms

'Cause I need you so

I can see it in your eyes

There is something

Something you wanna tell me

I see it in your eyes

There is something

That you hide from me

Is there a reason why?

There is something

Something you wanna tell me

I see it in your eyes

There is something

That you hide from me

Hold me in your arms

I don't wanna say I'm sorry

'Cause I know there's nothing wrong

Don't be afraid, there's no need to worry

'Cause my feelings for you are still strong

Hold me in your arms

And never let me go

Hold me in your arms

'Cause I need you so

I can see it in your eyes

There is something

Something you wanna tell me

I see it in your eyes

There is something

That you hide from me

Songwriter:

Is there a reason why?

There is something

Something you wanna tell me

I see it in your eyes

There is something

That you hide from me

Lasgo - Something 2023 (Craig Connelly Remix)

[eurovision-revisited]

1999 Jerusalem - Number 24 - Medusa - "Into My Life"

Don't be afraid to look, it's only the faltering start of a reasonably successful EDM-pop career. Medusa was invited by VRT to go straight into the final of Belgium's Eurosong '99. No messing around in the semis, straight through. Unfortunately, just like the Big Five in Eurovision today, this resulted in her crashing and burning. She finished eighth and last in the final.

Medusa is a woman of many names - she's actually Evi Goffin and this is her first song to be released. She did sing on the Fiocco single Miss You earlier in the year where her EDM friendly voice first got noticed. Into My Life is cookie cutter EDM club music. Synth heavy, positive, strong beat, repeated chorus, lyrically simple. Although you might question Medusa's stage presence, there's no doubting her voice.

The Belgian ultrapop world sat up and took notice. Later the same year, she was singing in 2 Fabiola, an established EDM group who themselves had an entry in the Belgian national final fourteen years after this. She didn't stay with them long. By the end of 1999 she'd jumped ship again and formed the group Lasgo with Peter Luts and Dave McCullen. You might remember from their summer 2000 hit Somethings

Since then Evi's spent a decade with Lasgo before leaving for a decade. In 2013 she re-emerged in the group De Grietjes. It wasn't to be for her in 1999, but even with the poor result it shows that national finals can be a stepping stone to a big musical career.

Eurovision 2024: #15

15. AUSTRIA Kaleen - "We will rave" 25th place

Decade Ranking: 50/153 [Above Systur, below Lesley Roy]

WHEN THE DARKNESS HITS AND WE CAN'T BE SAVED

WIRAM WI DAM DAM DA WE WILL RAVE

Fucking AMAZING chorus. At this stage of the ranking, I don't really give too many shits about the flaws in the product. And that's for the best because Holy Hell Kaleen that was NOOOOOOOT GOOOOOOOD (objectively). Fortunately it was still very entertaining (also objectively?), so.

Also at this point, you may expect some real emotional investment from my part and Kaleen is clear example of that too. SHE, more than anyone else, was the uncrowned queen of Millennial Monroehood this year. Not only did she provide a fucking BANGER from the time I was a middleschooler, she also SERVED:

LOOKS

PERSONALITY

POISE

JE NE SAIS QUOI

ATTITUDE

and also NONE OF THE VOCALS. 😍 😍 😍

And this comes on top of her song being leaked two months in advance off Marvin Dietmann's laptop, and becoming a viral hit among millennial eurotwitter BEFORE its full release ♥ (and I fully buy into the conspiracy theory that the leak was intentional to build hype.)

But yeah, this performance was heavily flawed, I won't deny that. "We will rave" is a great song and it's only 15th on my ranking, that's how far south that went.

It is equal parts comical and tragic that Marvin Dietmann arranged for his PARTNER (I assumed "business partner" at first, but apparently also partner in a domestic sense? Yeah I'm as surprised as you are that he likes the clam.) to be cast for Eurovision and then failed to provide staging for her that capitalized on her strengths.

Kaleen is a professional dancer and dance instructor.

She runs Marvin's Dance School FOR HIM, FOR A LIVING.

The leak showed a vibrant dance choreography that allowed her to (barely) provide passable vocals.

She's a natural born performer of the ~rhythmic arts~

So what does Marvin do?

HE REDUCES HER DANCE ROUTINE TO THE TYPE OF TARD DANCE ANYONE CAN EXECUTE.

HAS HER WALK AROUND THE STAGE. NOT DANCE. WALK.

AND HAD HER DANCERS SHIMMY HER AROUND IN LIEU OF A DANCE BREAK.

ALL SO THAT SHE CAN DELIVER THE BEST VOCAL PERFORMANCE... WHICH IS... WORSE THAN IN THE DEMO BECAUSE UM HELLO EARTH-TO-MARVIN:

YOUR GIRLFRIEND IS A DANCER, AND NOT A SINGER.

And all of that, I mean I'm sorry, is fucking hilarious, foremost. I know the live was "bad" but god it was really good at being bad. Casting your girlfriend and then FAILING to take her skillset (anything involving movement) into account is so uproariously funny to me. The staging was not bad on paper (it tried to increase momentum via the lasers and looks good if you mute), but it featured a slow, aenemic choreography that couldn't keep up with the music's light speed pace. That same dichotomy killed Halo, killed Edgar and almost killed "We Will Rave" too. This is the choreo you'd give to someone who cannot dance either due to being a block of wood (Dons) or old (Meri Bas.).

Even Firefighter, which is a fucking abortive attempt at a "dance song", had more tempo and life and let Nutsa (who is NOT a dancer) perform a break by herself. Christ Marvin.

(Granted it may be the outfit that forced Kaleen to perform a pantomime rather than a dance, but if that's the case... change the outfit? If those boots restrict your mobility, then don't wear them AT ALL, you know?)

However, as much as my appreciation for the live is based on irony and schadenfreude, I also just really love the song that much. "We will rave" is the best written girlbanger of this year - catchy, infectuous, smoking hot, and a wonderful throwback to the good Flemish techno of the early aughts. It's such a fucking banger in the style of Milk Inc, Lasgo, X Session, Touch of Joy, 2Fabiola, etc.

The prechorus and lyrics are delectable, and Kaleen is, despite her vocal inaccuracies, a charming hostess and style icon. Her personality is the saving grace of this live performance and the reason why I still embrace it in the face of its many mistakes. As disrespectful as Marvin's choreography was, she was flawless in its execution. SHE is what turns "We Will Rave" into a ride. The choreo and the results both did her dirty, but eh. Someone had to finish near the bottom. This year, that was Austria.

Now SAVOUR this last ever instance of them being fun in Eurovision because they'll only send salvaduncans from hereonout. If Eurovision isn't cancelled first, of course.
