#Marija Serifovic

[gaymer-hag-stan]

2004, 2007, 2008 - Rigged. Ruslana, Marija Serifovic and Dima Bilan all won because of Eastern European bloc voting

2005 - Rigged. Helena Paparizou won because of Balkan bloc voting

2006 - Lordi shouldn't win because they promote Satan worship through their music

2014 - Rigged. Conchita Wurst won because of LGBT voting / they're trying to force it down our throats

2015 - Måns shouldn't win because he's homophobic / Heroes shouldn't win because it's a copy of Descendants of the Sun (correct me if I'm wrong on this one; people were definitely saying that it was too derivative of a popular song at the time, I don't remember if that was its name)

2016 - Rigged. Jamala's win was political

2017 - Rigged. Salvador Sobral won because of his heart condition

2018 - Netta won because she was a joke entry. The contest is of poor quality / She is promoting overweight body types as the new standard (I'm not even joking, people actually said that)

2021 - Måneskin should be stripped of their title as champions because Damiano did cocaine

2022 - Rigged. Kalush Orchestra won because of the war

2023 - Rigged. Loreen won due to Sweden celebrating 50 years from their first win next year.

Can you STOP and take a moment to realize how ridiculous you all sound?

And yes, these are all things people actually said at the time, in case you don't remember or forget easily (or out of convenience)

[bgmoth]

eurovision phase is approaching so procrastination led me to look up what Marija Serifovic is up to these days and honestly 

chef’s kiss vibes

[icypiece]

Sometimes I think about how Dancing Lasha Tumbai came second, and wonder why, and then I remember that the song that actually won in 2007 was a gorgeous powerful ballad that makes me tear up, and then I'm like, yeah, both the winning song and the second place song were wonderful and both would have been worthy of a win, what a great year

[warlenys]

having my weekly molitva breakdown because god. the dykiest ever eurovision song won in 2007. it beat dancing lasha tumbai. it’s incredibly well revered. and no one knows that it’s gay. when it’s so obvious. it’s a lesbian in a loose fitting suit surrounded by women all with hearts hanging from their lapels. they slowly gather around her and caress each other. she walks through them and they reach out. they hold her as she screams. at the end they all put their hands against each other’s and red half hearts that are painted on the sides of them align to make full ones. it’s the dykiest thing in the world. the vast majority of people who love it do not know that. we’re in hell

[wraithxwitch]

people on tumblr being like ‘this is like verka serduchka all over again like who even remembers who won that year?’ like come on i know we are all mad about sweden but don’t disrespect marija serifovic like that

[eurovision-facts]

Do you know if there ever was any ace or aro artist on Eurovision?

Eurovision Fact #372:

While there have been no asexual or aromantic Eurovision contestants, there have been many openly gay contestants and contestants who later came out as members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Paul Oscar was the first openly gay Eurovision contestant. He performed for Iceland in 1997. The winner of that year's contest, Katrina and the Waves, also had their lead singer (Katrina Leskanich) come out many years later.

In 1998, Dana International made waves as she became the first trans contestant, and winner of the competition.

Israeli representative in 2002, Sarit Hadad, came out in 2021.

Representative of Bosnia & Herzegovina in 2004 and 2006 Deen has never come out explicitly, but openly posts about life with his boyfriend.

Winner of the 2007 contest, Marija Serifovic, came out as a lesbian in 2013 during the premiere of her film Confession.

Members of the group Blue -- who represented the UK in 2011 -- Duncan James and Lee Ryan have come out as gay and bisexual, respectfully. Ryan also admitted to sleeping with Duncan James often.

Winner of the 2012 contest, Loreen, came out as bisexual in 2017, stating that "love is where you find it."

Ireland's 2013 representative Ryan Dolan came out as gay the year following his Eurovision performance.

Thomas Neuwirth, otherwise known as winner of the 2014 contest Conchita Wurst, is openly gay.

In 2016, the Israeli representative Hovi Star was openly gay, and the Dutch representative, Douwe Bob, was bisexual.

Montenegro's 2017 representative Slavko Kalezić is openly gay.

In 2018, the Finnish representative Saara Alto was a lesbian, and Ukrainian representative Mélovin came out as bisexual in 2021.

In 2019 winner of the contest, Duncan Laurence, came out as bisexual at a Eurovision press conference. Additionally, France's contestant that year, Bilal Hassani, was queer. Moreover, member of the Norwegian band Keiino is openly gay. Finally, Italian contestant Mahmood has spoken out in support of LGBT rights, especially in Egypt, but does not like to label himself in any way.

Many of the contestants in the 2021 contest were members of the LGBT community: members of the Italian band Måneskin (winners of the 2021 contest) Victoria De Angelis and Ethan Torchio are openly bisexual and "sexually free" respectively. Australian representative Montaigne uses they/them pronouns and came out as bisexual. Spanish contestant Blas Cantó is also bisexual. Lesley Roy of Ireland is a lesbian. Vasil Garvanliev (North Macedonia), Jeangu Macrooy (Netherlands), and Jendrik Sigwart (Germany) are gay. Romania's Roxen is nonbinary, and member of the Icelandic group Daði og Gagnamagnið, Hulda, is pansexual.

2022 also saw a large number of LGBT contestants. Member of the Icelandic group Systur Elín is a genderfluid lesbian, and Michael Ben David of Israel and Sheldon Riley of Australia are both gay.

Finally, 2023 will also see many LGBT performers take the stage. Belgium's Gustaph and Serbia's Luke Black are gay, and Norway's Alessandra Mele is bisexual.

trying to watch eurovision 2007 and I forgot how fucking insufferably horrible Terry Wogan became towards the end of his commentary tenure. just fully misogynistic and mean spirited. this is an entertainment competition you old fart if you've aged out of young people having fun on stage that's a you problem. I truly never understood why people treated his commentary like such an institution. he should have been pushed LONG before he walked when the only positive things he had to say became perving on young women. when graham's bitchy at least it's obvious he's still having a good time and knows he's not meant to take it all seriously. 2007 was one of the most fun years of esc and terry's acting like a prisoner of war being forced to watch it to earn a bowl of gruel. in front of fucking Marija Serifovic and Verka Seduchka and Serebro and Hanna Pakarinen and Scooch and Todomondo and Natalia Barbu? can you not just let yourself have a good time for five fucking minutes
