UNPOPULAR EUROVISION OPINION:
don't get me wrong i am not a fan of BEJBA but i am actually happy that jann did not qualify for eurovision. YES it's unfair and we should talk more about WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED THERE POLAND but imo he got so much more recognition after losing. i don't think the song would be as popular if he represented poland in the semi final. now 2 people got their time to shine. but hell, what do i know. it's fun to hate on people am i right

The REAL winner of Polish pre-selection for Eurovision 2023!
With 18,000 votes in televoting! 💗💙💜
youtube
youtube
And here is the person who was chosen by the Polish government television as a representative of Poland, ignoring the votes from the televoting (she got only 6,000)...
So deals, plagiarism and lack of talent won... 🫤😠
What a shame... 😔

I know Blanka is not performing today, but to all of the people hating on her I have a story time:
I was at a wedding (I'm polish) last week and the DJ played a remixed version of Blanka's "Solo" unironically during the party.
We all hate this song, but it looks like poles are truly stuck with it. It's played at the wedding parties y'all. We are doomed.

I know it's random, but please tell me I'm not the only one who noticed that both Jann's and Kääriä's performances had pretty fucked up sound quality from the microphone, while on the other hand Loreen and Blanka both had a badass sound quality during their performances. I don't know if there's a correlation or a pattern, but it's kinda weird tbh.

i am convinced that
1. it was americans who voted for blanka
2. they mistook her for an european version of ariana grande, the ponytail from pre-selections speaks for itself

Eurovision 2023: #14 & #13
Tumblr media
14. ESTONIA Alika - "Bridges" 8th place
youtube
Decade ranking: 40/116 [Above Circus Mircus, below TBA]
Tweak some bangs, Alika's Shart.
Tumblr media
It is amazing how a few on-point tweaks can make a song significantly more appealing. I went up and down on Alika throughout the months, but a year after I've put her low on the pre-show ranking I am ready to lock in my final verdict: Bridges is kind of really good.
Tumblr media
Ofc there were huge problems down the road cuz you know, vocal masturbation ballad in a BorisBubbles ranking, and also, clear jury carry the year after Marius Bear and Nadir Whatshisgjon, but Estonia ironed out their most glaring flaws, so what else can I ask for? I got what I wanted.
Estonia's problem for me, as I've come to realize once I started liking Alika again, was always one of aesthetics, and specifically visual aesthetics (keep that in mind when I rank Europapa low for the lack of bags-over-head (lol if I rank ESC2024 to begin with (I mean, I probably will (I am not readly to enter that discourse yet tho (regardless, that haircut is a capital offence))))). A big inherent flaw of vocal flex ballads like "Bridges" is the lack of dynamism and emotional gravitas (as the vocal technique goes against these principles - "loud" is a pitch, not an emotion) - it's a flaw that comes with the genre and that's something only charisma can fix. Pre-show Alika looked like she'd been dragged out of a river and then SHOUTED into a mic without moving, so yeah, that's where I bail. Slimane your way into someone else's simple and easily-impressed heart please, I Am Not The Demograph. (-- Alesia Michelle).
Tumblr media
The version in Liverpool though was - by textbook definition almost - a glow-up. Alongside her Jenevelle hair, Estonia actually put Alika in a beautiful gown and made her move around. Observe:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
NOW I SEE MAHSEEL BEELDING UP A WOALD OF BREEECHEEEEEEEEEES
Apparently a lot of people were mesmerized by the self-playing piano but for me the biggest factor in selling "Bridges" was just Alika herself. Props are nice embellishments but the true art of live performance is when score and vocal come together via the power of Personality. Which she finally showed in Liverpool after what felt like an eternity.
Tumblr media
By allowing Alika to just do... idk, Alika things with her body lang, face and hands, Estonia broke the monotony of "three minutes of loudness" and made it fun, camp and digestible. If theres anything The Gays (me) like, it's a neat lady doing silly things with fierce confidence. Yasss Go Slay Queen.
Ultimately, a lot of people think Alika's top 10 is nonsense and a strike against juries and here I disagree. That a strong glow up and performance such as Alika's went unappreciated by the televote is a huge strike against the televote, not the other way around. I am happy she got her spot in the limelight, and 8th place is a good, if somewhat generous representation of what she brought. I'll never be a huge fan of the song "Bridges", but at the end of the day Alika really ate that live, and that's something worth rewarding.

13. POLAND Blanka - "Solo" 19nd place
youtube
Decade Ranking: 39/116 [Above Alika, below Stefan]
"ARIANA GRANDE IF ARIANA HAD NO TALENT" -- my immediate instinct when i first heard "Solo"
Tumblr media
Were my instincts wrong, though? Her lack of performance skill and talent, the online response, the severed heads of Jann and Iru she keeps mounted on a pedestal in her boudoire. Blanka was the Mery Bass of 2023. She has no business being this good.
btw yes, lmao so hard that THIS ENTRY was somehow one of the more controversial ones in recent ESC. Honestly, the 13th place I'm giving here is at least half thanks to the controversy which made "Solo" feel iconic - it is exceedingly funny to me that it caused so much outrage for... existing? What did Blanka ever do? Certainly not rob better acts - Listen to Jann and listen to Iru and tell me straight-faced they were better.
Tumblr media
BEJBA! IS KINDA KRAJZA!
As a song, "Solo" was always fun femmetrash. Ever since Eleni the majority of the Eurovision girlbops have been attempting to recreate Fuegos with varying successes - Competently staged with intricate choreographies to commemorate our inner faggotry. "Solo" represents a style of girlbop that's gone out of fashion - the "Aphrodisiac"-like basic bop by useless bitches for useless cigs. (Fuego is what gays see themselves as, Solo is what they actually are). Aphrodisiacs have become nearly extinct at Eurovision because they nearly always lose the NF nowadays. So thank you Jann for performing 'Gladiator' in Scooby-Doo vocals so that we could witness Bejba fullfill her beautiful destiny in Liverpool.
And what a destiny it was. In a way, most of the things I wrote about Alika also apply to Blanka. A few small tweaks to the performance can make the whole a lot better. Unlike Alika though, who ampted up the sophistication, Blanka went a route I respect more: She listened to fan feedback.
Slight paraphrasing:
Fans: "EWW BLANKA HAS NO TALENT, CAN'T DANCE, CAN'T SING, WON BASED ON MONEY!!!" Blanka: "... so? 🙂"
I don't know WHEN Blanka decided to be everything the fans accused her of (talentless, washed-up, plastic), amped up to comical levels, but thank fuck she did because it made her instantly epic. It is rare for a Eurovision artist to address her online haters by Now I Betta Troll'em, Troll'em, and Blanka as it turns out is masterfully skilled at trollery. She elevated it into an art.

Doing the Eleftheria thing of having your backing vocalist sing over you, while you mug the camera with semi-fierce faces and placeholder hairflips.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Accused to having no performance skill or talent? Add in a cheap dance break anyway, and enjoy every second of it, live your dream while they fume on Twitter, angry that Poland qualified over Georgia.
Guess where I am, honey? 💋 I'm in the final. 💋 And I'm here to stay 💋 :dramatic cymball:
Tumblr media
"Solo" was incompetent, plastic and a huge mess, and that was great because it was all deliberate. That made it epic. Poland really took all the negative criticism they received and yanked it up to 11 and it made the entry better. If that isn't a taunting flex in the face of toxicity, I don't know what is. Given how venomous the fandom has been since the pandemic, that is an approach to life I can totally get behind.
THE RANKING
Tumblr media
AND WITH THAT WE MADE IT OUT OF THE MILD LIKE ZONE, HOO-fucking-RAY. Now bear in mind that the next few eliminees are very LOW lush greens and there's quite a few of those before we get to the really good stuff, but eh. Soon I'll be able to talk about the songs I loved, and that's always a treat.

To clarify- if someone kidnapped you and the only way to be free was to sing one of these songs perfectly from memory, no matter how much you loved or hated these songs, which one would you sing?
