Eurovision 2010s: 175 - 171

175. Jurij Veklenko - “Run with the lions” Lithuania 2019

oh hai.

I mean, it’s pretty self-explanatory why Jurij made it this far. Like, man, MAJOR kudos for knowing your niche and milking the shit out of those horny middle-aged eurogays <3 And to be fair, in a field of similar acts, including both Farid Mammadov and Imri Ziv, it is Jurij  who stands out as the *biggest* case of eyefuckery on this side of Teriazoume. I’d make a pun about Jurij channelling Evridiki, but Tumblr is a respectful PG-13 site now. 🤗

However, as self-explanatory as Jurij’s generous rank is, it’s almost as obvious why I can’t carry him further. “Run with the lions” is kind of a nothing song and wasn’t given a budget (I heard from a Lithuanian guy I know that LTR’s budget was €1.000 and that includes lodgings!!!), leaving Jurij to carry it by himself. Still, I can’t say this

has never failed to cheer me up. 🤗 Now imagine if Jurij returned with an actually GOOD song / a decent budget. BRING HIM BACK!!! ________________________________________________________________

174. Kristina - “Horehronie” Slovakia 2010

Yes, I actually like Max Jason Mai more than Kristina. TEE HEE. 🤭

But I think Kristina is good too, no worries! Kristina is obviously very notable in that she ALWAYS pops up in those “the 10 most listened to videos” the official channel publishes every month. And truth be told, back in the day, at the fledgling age of thirteen-going-on-twenty-one, I too was smitten by this basic bop. With it’s easy ethno rhythm and tree dancing, “Horehronie” nothing short of enjoyable.  

And then she ran into the Slovakian curse of “promising in studio, terrible live” the penance we all must bear for Tublatanka’s UNFAIR robbage (’94 juries = the WORST!!!). Oh well. 🤗

173. Jacques Houdek - “My friend” Croatia 2017 

[2017 Review here]

Omg I’m taking out ALLL of the fanfavebeasts!! Shocking, i know!! JK, I know Jacques is disliked and rightfully so. He’s a pretty shit human. He has said some racist and homosexual things!!! (-Jeremy Collins). Liking Jacques, even ironically, always comes with the caveat that you cannot give him any rope (like the idiots that enable other “lovable” figures such as Trump, Farage and Rees-Mogg).  However, Eurovision doesn’t function like politics do and, I’m sorry, I just can’t *not* cackle at 1) Jacques convincing himself that “My Friend” is one of the most earnest, inspirational songs ever, just because it quotes Albert Einstein 2) EVERYONE, across any fanbase, universally believing that “My friend” is in fact one of the worst songs ever written. <3  It’s the same dichotomy we saw in “That’s how you write a song”, where EVERYONE is in on the joke except for the person who wrote the entry. Except, it is even more extreme here. Glorious. Of course this culminated in Jacques, delusional as delusional does, convincing himself that people genuinely liked “My friend” for the music. He then gave us an even worse song in “The dream” and I instantly stopped laughing. 🙃 But fortunately Roko fell flat on his bicentennial face as it should have and I can laugh again. That is the core of my Jacques sentiment, in a nutshell. As long as Jacques’s Eurovision schemes unfold like the average Wile. E. Coyote attempt at catching the Road Runner, as long as I can just sit back and laugh at his expense because he can’t help but fail himself, so long can I like him without any reservations. Which, fortunately enough, will be forever. 😈

Also, um that means “Lighthouse” is the highest ranked Croatian entry lmfao. What a spectacular decade. 

________________________________________________________________

172. Valentina Monetta - “Maybe” San Marino 2014

“Maybe” gets a lot of leeway from being the closing chapter in the Valentina saga and while it’s not *as* good, I still cherish it greatly. Valentina Monetta qualified for the final. Even though Serhat did too, her legacy isn’t cheapened by it, at all. And yes, I recognize that “Maybe” is kind of really boring and that’s valid. However, I don’t care? Valentina singing “Maybe... this is it, this is real and I feel this is right, finally right” in a Grand Final remains a bone-chilling moment and nobody will ever be able to take that away.  ________________________________________________________________

171. Robin Stjernberg - “You” Sweden 2013

Reason #43 why 2013 is awesome: Sweden is mortal in it. and thank fuck it is, because that makes “YOUooUUooooOOUUu” so much more enjoyable. #DownWithSwedePrivilege Not like it wasn’t to begin with. For starters, Melfest 2013 being won by a WILDCARD <3 Who barely made it in and out of Andra Chansen. <3 It’s SO INCOMPETENT, like you know, a messy “Where I Am”? It remains baffling to me that juries adored “You” so much because it really is three minutes of high-pitched screaming. Each time songwriters turn to “Strazdas” for inspiration, it truly is a blessing. 🤗

PS: by my count, there are now three remaining Swedish entries left in this ranking. Turning into this decade’s Ireland/France really made Sweden suck, huh?

Bien des chansons ont remporté le concours Eurovision de manière globalement incontestable, de « Waterloo » à « Heroes » en passant par « Si La Vie Est Cadeau » ou encore « Euphoria ». Mais d’autres se sont plus ou moins violemment ramassées alors même, qu’entre nous, elles méritaient mieux. Place insuffisante en finale, élimination surprise en demi-finale voire même, pour certaines, dernière place tout à fait incompréhensible, voici 20 chansons qui auraient mérité mieux depuis 2000.

100 days of Eurovision

Horehronie - Kristina Pelakova 

Slovakia

Slovakia is a country that never qualified from a semi final in the 2000s. They did appear in the finals in 1994, 1996 (qualifier from a semi final) and 1998. They are country of decent songs, but song that did not capture the imagination of the continent.

Horehronie is the best of the crop. it is highly organised in that there was structured choreography which added to the pleasant song about the Slovak countryside. It was let down by Kristina’s voice a little; it seemed overwhelmed in the run through. The backing vocalist looked like a sole snowball in the forest and milked her solo moment for everything.
