20. MACEDONIA

Eye Cue - “Lost and Found” 41st place

♬ HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT? WE WENT TOO FAR, NOW THERE’S NO WAY BACK, NO WAY BACK ♬

So, we have finally crossed the junction where I openly ~Like~ the songs remaining. It appears to be a pretty arbitrary line, right between Macedonia and San Marino but eh; I never promised there would be any rhyme or reason to why I like certain acts more, other than gay intuïtion and the crippling fear I won’t be able to rationalize my taste in a way that makes me appear intelligent and credible. =)

♬ HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT? WE WENT TOO FAR, NOW THERE’S NO WAY BACK, NO WAY BACK ♬

I suppose the nuanced difference between “Lost and Found” and “Who We Are”, to me at least, is that the former is a great entry that played out as an entertaining mess and that kinda beats out acts like San Marino’s which were advertised as entertaining messes from the get-go and ended up... slightly less entertaining and messy than promised? But whatever, neither of them is a DoReDoS, that’s for fuckin’ sure. (more on that when I rank them in like... October or summat)

As for Eye Cue, they have been consistently enjoyable to me! I loved their backstory: how Macedonia was ready to be relegated from this year’s Eurovision, only for them to come up with this REALLY obscure indie duo nobody had ever heard of or had expectations for. How said indie duo had apparently bought their entry in to Eurovision to showcase an experimental song that was... a third reggae, a third electronic dance and a third indiepop <3 

♬ HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT? WE WENT TOO FAR, NOW THERE’S NO WAY BACK, NO WAY BACK ♬

Hilarity aside, “Lost and found” is... a pretty great song? (Definitely greater than the 5-6 songs I’m going to eliminate next): The reverse gear change between the dance chorus and the reggae verses are freaking hysterical and that chorus is more infectuous than Chlamydia. There’s a reason why I’m using it as punctuation in this write-up. Which reminds me, 

♬ HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT? WE WENT TOO FAR, NOW THERE’S NO WAY BACK, NO WAY BACK ♬

Added bonus was that Eye Cue were pretty fun people themselves. Given that they have no real careers to speak of, we got to see a fair bit of Marija and Boian during the preshow - I’ve forgotten most of their moments (such is the fate of anyone who isn’t AWS, Queen Lea or the Gfeller Zibbz) but I will forever cherish how Eye Cue unwittingly foiled Almaia (remember them? of course you don’t) during one of their many confirmation-seeking ploys. (See my Spain entry for more details)

The live probably left a lot of be desired, but eh, I didn’t mind too much. Eye Cue’s purpose was to serve as entertaining death fodder for the better acts in that semifinal and they accomplished their role swimmingly The simulated teleportation and Microsoft PowerPoint intersitials between camera cuts were fairly nifty (though not as nifty as, say, Lea forcing a break in her song and making it work BOTH times <3) Marija’s schmuck-frock of a hideous, fuschia backwards jacket, only to reveal the literal boob sweater underneath <3 

♬ HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT? WE WENT TOO FAR, NOW THERE’S NO WAY BACK, NO WAY BACK ♬

Rarely has a BDex been so well-earned <3  Speaking of which, between Marija losing and, ironically, not finding her voice and the hagfish trio which “supported” her (the Middle Ginger doesn’t even bother pretending to sing at certain intervals <3), if there were a BDex for vocals, they probably would have won that too <3 Retroactively, I do wish I had put them a bit higher for comedic effect, but-

♬ HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT? WE WENT TOO FAR, NOW THERE’S NO WAY BACK, NO WAY BACK ♬

AUSTRIA - César Sampson - Nobody but you

ARMENIA - Sevak Khangyan - Qami

BULGARIA - EQUINOX - Bones

ESTONIA - Elina Nechayeva - La forza

Forty three little films 2018 - FYR Macedonia

Lost and found - Eye Cue FYR Macedonia Selection method: Internal Has it been heard live? Yes Semi final # 1 Drawn: 11

It starts as a ballad, then goes to reggae, then moves to more contemporary dance sound and goes back and forward like that. The song is not bad, it is just of an acquired taste. After listening to it a few times, I don’t mind it as a song, but it is not rated highly and I’m going to actively choose the song to listen to. 

The film is very much about Ivana. the singer. It is her that we watch through the whole film. The first outfit with the eyes is a bit ugly, so I prefer the hot pink number with the heavy make-up. The film takes place on a sound stage; Ivana starts in the back-up chair, moved to the stage after being adjusted by her assistants. The guitarist and the drummer are there playing their instruments. She goes toward a swing with the shadow of the guitarist in the background like a stalker. With the hot pink outfit, she appears in a photo shoot with the guitarist, before returning to the sound stage. For the key change, she appears i bed. 

Finalist: Maybe, more likely a no.

Eurovision 2018 Rehearsals Day 2 - Actual first impressions

FYR Macedonia: I think that Marija’s clothing is not really that great but maybe in the next rehearsal it will all change, heh. Them (the actual band’s duo) walking back and forth during the ‘have you ever thought about it’ chorus parts does seem like something that can be doable in this song during the performance.

Croatia: She really likes belting, oh my! It’s lovely how she does sing most of the lines a register higher in the verses, at least the ones she’s kind of capable of (the other times the backings help her out to make it sound like it’s higher sounding than in the studio). And the Instastory clip we’ve got from her rehearsal... she’s trying to go as high as Netta with the ending of HER entry. Still better than Elina Nechayeva... Also, I’d like to add that I like her dress and it seemed like her staging needed more action than Franka being alone on stage. I mean, at least bring the staging from your music video on stage, will you?

Austria: The first one I got to actually hear in full this day (damn school). Cesár goes through the song normally enough, though I wasn’t too sure for most of the time about the chorus. Where in the chorus are there supposed to be the backings that sing “ain’t nobody” and where aren’t? I also do not get Cesár’s platform but okay. Also, is it me or he was about to go a little too offkey during the ending of his rehearsal’s Instastory clip? (Speaking of them, Ari Ólafsson made a little Yoda impression at the end of his first impression of his own rehearsal on the Eurovision.tv’s instastory, unfortunately no one can see it anymore and I have only acquired a poor phone recording of the screen provided by my new Samsung model because I can’t even turn the older one that’s capable of much better on. :’) )

Greece: I was honestly looking forward to it. It was decent enough. I thought that her last chorus wailing over the backings needed some work because it almost, just almost, went for that D minor. Simplistic but powerful, I’d say. Also she’s good at English <3

Finland: Sorry for having missing out on it so much so that I didn’t really get to hear her sing. I only know that there’s a platform and Saara is against it, and she’s spinning from upside down to downside up and gets out of there at some point. Wow, “Domino” teas. She liked the idea so much so she couldn’t let it go it seems. At least it’s miles better than the cape reveal in the NF... I also lowkey hope she gets the “Queens” outfit for her actual performance to complete the trifecta.

Armenia: Went pretty well and solid enough. However, yet again, the staging seems empty and the bottom ribs that stick out of the stage don’t do the staging much justice, I’m afraid. Good that he’s into singing the “du tur indz t'ever” part along with the backings by the last several seconds of his song, these really let his voice shine through. Also, I cannot help but think he’s our token “cannot speak a word in English in interviews” person this year because I just cannot get Joci Pápai out of my mind in regards of this. Aisel’s English was said to be poor (did I just mention an A Z E R I performer next to an A R M E N I A N one? omg el gasp) yet in her first impressions clip on Instagram she spoke in English fine while Sevak just went full Armenian. xD I hope he can at least say something along the lines of “Thanks, keep voting” for his voters via Eurovision app though. Would actually surprise me as much.

Switzerland: I start missing Corinne’s (yeah I will still refer to her as Corinne, so shush) NF clothing but at least an upgrade. The pyramids are gone, too. The more interesting thing on stage that seems happening is Corinne using the bridge (an actually nice addition to the stage btw, feels like we’ll only get to see another one of those only like 8 years in the future) and the intro of the song that resembles the music video’s intro when there were silent gaps between the first and second lines and the second/third lines. Kinda puts me off. And the trumpet instrument during the “I can’t do anything about it” lines seems to sound stronger.

Ireland: Dublin 2019 my ass. I mean, come on! :P It’s cute but nothing too special, not even the music video’s dancers would be able to save it, even if the majority of the focus will likely be dedicated to them because... well, yeah, LGBT community watches Eurovision? The dancers make it feel like it’s an alleyway all around them, they even have a street lamp prop and fake snow on them. Ryan has a guitar. There’s some woman on the piano. That’s it. Why would an attempt of recreating the feeling of a 90s winner song work in the 2010s? Then again, some of you think Salvador’s song sounded like it came out straight from the 50s... but nope, still not a winner, let alone it has to qualify at first~

Cyprus: I was intrigued when ESCXtra (I decided to stop watching ESCUnited because Eugent was on Xtra’s stream yesterday and I’m so gutted on missing out of it that it hurts </3) guys described all that happened on stage BEFORE Eleni’s rehearsal even began. And about wearing a pelican. Okay it seems I have kind of exaggerated, and so did Wivian from that website. xD It’s just a bodysuit with an open belly and consists of 3 colors. Vocally she was... o-kay I guess? o_0 Guess I can’t hear so much into it that makes her sound flat and tuneless then. She was fine. And I lowkey told people about her using pyros, but people still somewhat thought that it’s just the AWS that’d break the ‘no pyrotechnics’ rule from the prohibited items list. xD Oh you guys. (e:  it seems there’s a lot of hair shaking action and dancing involved. Much surprise...)

[hazelandglasz]

Did you lose your voice along with your jacket ...?

[wastelandbaby7]

It sounds like a really bad mash up.

[sorenthelegend]

Actually quite like FYR Macedonia so far!!
