Eurovision Fact #521:

Italy, Sweden, and Ukraine are the only three nations that appear twice on the list of contestants who've earned over 400 points at Eurovision.

Italy breached 400 with Mahmood's "Soldi" in 2019 and in 2021 with Måneskin's "Zitti e Buoni."

Sweden got their high scores two years in a row, first with Cornelia Jakobs' "Hold me Closer" in 2022, and next with Loreen's "Tattoo."

Ukraine was one of the first nations to break into the 400-point range with Jamala and her song "1944" in 2016. The next record-breaker was 2022's Kalush Orchestra and their song "Stefania."

(If you want to tell me that I forgot 2016 with Jamala and Sergey Lazarev on this list, no I didn’t: You see, “unfair” wins are fine when they fit my political “fuck Russia, stand with Ukraine” agenda, thanks for asking - and frankly, Russia should have been disqualified for invading Crimea back then already, so Jamala’s win over someone who shouldn’t have even been there is fair in my book.)

Before the final tonight and because Malta didn't get through with their Covid anthem, I just wanna know if anyone remembers this banger from 2016. Ahead of its time, tbh. It was a Covid lockdown song before Covid

"Toxic" and "Can't stop the feeling!"

A pair into the #FearOfMu21c project, crowdsourcing the greatest singles of the 21st century. Here’s an index post.

Toxic - Britney Spears

I mentioned last time that Taylor Swift grew up in public. Britney Spears was never allowed that luxury. The Irish Times recently reviewed Britney's memoir:

Celebrity destroyed Spears. She was forced into premature adulthood: dressed in suggestive outfits; putting on promiscuous performances; working harder than most adults; financially supporting her family. But all the while her mind slowly regressed to childhood. She admits that after she was left by her husband, separated from her children, and mourned the death of a relative she became increasingly mentally juvenile. But that was by her mid-20s. In fact, this process was kicked into gear the moment she became a star. The weight of the contradiction – to be a child dressed as an adult, to be both sides of the “Madonna and whore” archetype at once – broke something in her. Even the prose in her book (reportedly ghostwritten) casts Spears, now 41, as a well-spoken preteen.

If there was a time when Britney Spears could have grown up, it's "Toxic". The sound of early 2004 featured Britney as an air hostess, as a black widow burglar, and writhing on the floor wearing a bejeweled skintight bodysuit. That'll keep the straights interested, and sell the message that Britney's mature now.

"Toxic" was written by Cathy Dennis and Henrik Jonback, with input from producers Bloodshy & Avant. Is it about Cathy Dennis's ex Noel Fitzpatrick from Channel 4's Supervet? Ah, she'll never say. Was the song turned down by Kylie Minogue? Very much so, it would have been her finest moment of the century. Are those Bollywood high-strings in the mix? Oh yes, that is entirely deliberate, so is the same motif being played backwards just before the middle eight.

Can't stop the feeling! - Justin Timberlake

Greatest pop song of the 2010s? "Can’t stop the feeling!", a disco confection more perfect than any millefeuille. Start with a funky bass riff, add on some sampled guitars and horns to accentuate the chorus like Wham! did.

The lyric doesn't have to mean much, in fact it's probably better if the lyric doesn't mean anything. Written by Justin Timberlake, Max Martin, and Shellback, it's a feelgood song, an instant classic… and got completely overshadowed in its own lunchtime. Didn’t even win Best Interval Act at the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest.

(And it's an excuse to post my favourite Senior Eurovision photo ever.)
