Eurovision: the Swedish city of Malmö will host the music contest in 2024.
The southern Swedish city will host the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest in the same venue that housed the colourful and eclectic music competition in 2013, the Swedish organisers said on Friday.
In 2012, singer Loreen won for the first time. She came out on top again in the 2023 edition with her song 'Tattoo.'
Can some real music professionals explain to us WTF was so special about #Loreen's ok song that it beat all other songs by this margin in the Jury vote?!?
FINAL VOTES AFTER 37 of 37 countries Juries voting:
"La sueca #Loreen ha hecho historia al proclamarse vencedora de #Eurovisión 2023 con Tattoo, un título que ya se llevó en 2012 con Euphoria. Partía como favorita y los pronósticos se cumplieron: 583 puntos avalaron su victoria.
Su propuesta de este año venía acompañada de una llamativa puesta en escena, en la que la artista comenzab...tumbada como aprisionada como entre el suelo y el techo de una plataforma que los eurofans bautizaron como la sandwichera."
I'm convinced there is a tiny bit of fakery going on with #Loreen's vocals from the #Eurovision semi-final on Tuesday. I noticed it on the night, and went back to check now, but the bit where she sings low-high-low (e.g. at 1m26s in the YouTube video below, and soon after), the high bit seems to come from a backing tape. I was listening with headphones and that bit seems to come from a different channel. Also she doesn't visibly seem like she's singing it.
Just listening to last night's #Eurovision entries on Spotify and the #Finland entry is peculiar. It starts off all threatening and unsettling with pumping bass, guttural grunting vocals, spiky distorted synths and all that ChaChaChaaaa business, then halfway through suddenly remembers there needs to be some kind of melody and goes on a jolly family holiday to autotune city.
It's catchy as hell, but strangely uneven in tone.
OC Regarding those two toppin' songs at Eurovision 2023... (also an indirect Omori crossover meme)
