Eurovision Mania series #2- My top 3 entries so far

Hello friends!

 

62 days until the big concert! It is difficult to get in the party mood and find the motivation to write about a contest when there is a war happening next to us..The contest might be cancelled, Ukraine might not participate this year. But I decided to carry on with the Eurovision Mania posts as something to look forward to, and to be reminded of the power of music and how it can bring the countries together!



In the second blog post I decided to talk about my Top 3 entries at the moment for this year's contest. 'At the moment' because they keep changing every week haha. By the time you are reading this the Cyprus entry will be out too, but I thought to write this post before listening to it so I won't be biased by my country's entry. Get a warm cup of coffee and here we go!

 3. Finland: The Rasmus- 'Jezebel'

I love the fact that Finland sents a rock band almost every year, as the country of hard rock and heavy metal! It is part of their identity. This year they took a step further and they are sending an international well-known band, The Rasmus! You might have heard of them because of their hit 'In the Shadows'. They will compete with the song Jezebel ,which is a rock entry with guitar riffs, wild vocals and lots of make-up. Classic Eurovision rock entry.




 2. Spain: Chanel- 'SloMo'

The Foureira of 2022. She has the moves, she has the voice and she has a catchy song. That's the secret ingredients of the Eurovision success recipe. Many people compare her with Eleni Foureira and which one is the best. I have to disagree with that comparison since each one is a talented unique artist that came to Eurovision to light up fires and make everyone copy their moves. Spain deserves a place in the top 10 this year!



1. Italy: Mahmood and Blanco-'Brividi'

This has been my favourite song from the first time I heard it when it won the SanRemo festival in February. It is a strong ballad about loving someone and can't express your feelings- and for sure it gives you 'goosebumps'. The blending of Mahmood's and Blanco's voices is so beautiful which makes this song perfect. Will Italy do a back to back this year? Si.




Those are my favourite 3 songs at the moment-it took me a while to make up my mind (excuse the Eurovision pun!). But with more countries releasing their songs this week, this list is probably gonna change (I am not sure about Brividi though). I hope you find some time to listen to these songs and get a taste of this year's contest. Also if you are a Eurovision fan like me and already listened to the songs let me know your top 3!


Thank you so much for reading this post. See you soon!

London Eurovision Party

Εικόνα
Good evening Europe, good morning Australia! A few days left for the biggest music event in the world, and I cannot wait any longer! Always the months waiting for the contest fly by, but as soon as the last week approaches times moves so slowly and the day seems endless. I call it the Eurovision Timing Effect. As I mentioned in my last post, I attended the London Eurovision Party on the 16 th of April, the last official pre-party before the show! A Eurovision pre-party is a party where some of this year’s contestants and previous Eurovision stars perform their entry song but also some of their hits. It was held at HERE at Outernet , an underground venue in the heart of central London and it was filled with eurofans from all over the world. I can’t imagine how magical Liverpool will be next week! In this post I will share some photos from the party. Grab a brew and let’s go!  💛💙💛💙💛💙💛 The party started with performances from many Eurovision veterans including KEiiNO (No...

Happy Sunday everyone! As we are getting closer to the contest the odds are on fire and people have already started placing their bets on this year’s winning song (if you want to learn more about how odds are calculated see my blog post here ). In today’s post I will write about the top 5 songs that are currently parked at the top of the odds chart. That doesn’t mean they will 100% win, or that they are the people’s favourites, but they stand a high chance of getting the treasured title of Eurovision winner. Grab a brew and here we go.  💙💛💙💛💙💛💙 1.    1.  Sweden This is not an unusual place for the Eurovision titan, which every year lands on the top 5 of the odds. This year though it is the bookmakers favourite to win, with the Eurovision legend Loreen making a strong return, determined to experience victory again! Of course you know Loreen from winning the 2012 contest with the hit ' Euphoria' , which is voted every year as the fans favourite Eurovisi...

United by music

Εικόνα
Hello everyone and happy Wednesday! It is only 76 days to Eurovision 2023 and many countries have selected their entry song through their national competitions. Also the logo and slogan of the contest has been revealed, and in this post I will write about the background of that selection and also take a trip to Eurovision slogans through the years! 💙💛💙💛 European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has reveled the slogan and theme artwork for this year's contest end of January, which is ' United By Music '. The new slogan demonstrates the unique partnership of this year's contest between the United Kingdom, Ukraine and Host City Liverpool. It is the first time when the winning country won't host the contest due to the unfortunate event of the war (there have been 6 previous occasions in which a different nation hosted due to financial reasons). This slogan shows the collaboration of the two countries to bring the ESC to audiences across the globe and the incredible power of...
