I have a feeling that there will be no Eurovision Song Contest this year either.
That's good, because the pop music of the 2020s is terribly boring.

Horrible start, quite catchy ending.
Was it that you had worked or studied in Norway so that you understand what they speak in Swedish?

Finland will not send anything better. Was it that you had worked or studied in Norway so that you understand what they speak in Swedish? I had C1 in Norwegian. I understand Swedish well, but it gets worse with northern Swedes, they speak unclear. I get some Danish as well. |

Well you're damn right we won't! Haven't bothered to listen to the finalists, but the final is next Saturday. Maybe I'll watch it.
You're weird. Danish is jibberish, and the further north you go, the more you understand of the language, as the impact of those filthy Danes lessens.

Compared to the disaster Aksel Kankaanranta you had last year, this is an improvement. Finns should have chosen Erika Vikman with Cicciolina. I think Norway has the worst Scandinavian song this year. |

Welp, that was a boring song. Too cliché even for Eurovision.

Haven't really watched any of the qualifyer-Mellos. My friends and I are all getting together to watch the Mello finale though. It's actually the origin to that friend's group. Last year a bunch of people from different friend groups got together to watch the mello finale, and ever since then we've been one big friend group.

Black lives matter has won Melodifestivalen this year. Sad for Dotter. And I also loved Clara:

Something interesting like Elettra Lamborghini never wins. I've already commented elsewhere about the winning song, at an international level that could not be the most modern song ever for that genre but for Sanremo it was definitively something of unseen before. There are many people who are actually arguing that they "are not Sanremo-like enough to be the winners". I generally see Sanremo as a competition for quite "formal" music, it's the kind of competition where (almost) everyone shows us in gala dresses and also the music tends to follow the same style. It's the kind of competition where the music is still played live by an orchestra, where being able to sing well without auto-tune is praised, and where the lyrics and interpretation of the song often have an important weight. This year the outsides won, the last year it was the best singer from the technical point of view, the year before the song mostly won for the lyrics/topic and so forth. In the last five years or so more and more "modern-sounding" songs are entering the contest, but the majority of the participants remains quite old-styled, that's true. About Elettra Lamborghini as an example of "interesting artist" instead... in here is quite (in)famous for her twerking (which in Sanremo would have been completely out of place) and for the quite bad live performance she gave during the last year competition. Most of her songs are in Spanish too, which sounds like the kind of choice that someone pointing to the international market more than the national one would do. As it was quite evident in between the lines, personally I don't like her songs at all. |

Indeed, my impression was that all songs were similar and that the whole show took too long. Elettra Lamborghini was just different from others. I haven't known that she sings in Spanish ( that's a plus for me  ). I also loved Rita Pavone with Niente. It would be fun, if she went to Eurovision. Italians say that she is unpopular because of racist comments, but as a foreigner I don't care, she is lovely. |

Italians say that she is unpopular because of racist comments, but as a foreigner I don't care, she is lovely. The show always taking too long is something we complain quite a lot as well, in particular considering that Sanremo is made of 5 consecutive nights (from Tuesday to Saturday). In Sanremo Elettra was singing in Italian, as that's a strict requirement for entering the contest, but she kept the same style and music as in the songs where she sings in Spanish. I have the impression that the average Sanremo follower tends to give more importance to the fact that singers demonstrate to able to shout out high notes in their songs, and also to their ability to show emotions matching with the lyrics. Elettra the last year was actually singing a quite bitter love song, but she sang it with a quite flat and unemotional tone and without demonstrating to be able to keep any note particularly well, and at the end what stood out the most to us was the Spanish-sounding music in the background. As for Rita Pavone, or Orietta Berti, or Loredana Bertè... they are all singers that were famous when my parents were kids (60s-70s), so for people at my age or younger the first impression when hearing that they are going to participate to the festival is that dinosaures were let free from their museums... However, objectively they are not doing bad, but most people still associate them with t heir hits from the 60s and thus they are struggling quite a lot to propose anything different. |
