Eurovision with guts out

Instead of a song contest we get a war of reputations and biographies

For a year now, to discuss Eurovision is more interesting than listening to the performances of its participants. The songs of everyone are approximately the same - the elongated Europops, arranged by hiring professionals. But the biographies are different. Now few people will remember that it was Konditch Vurst in 2014, but this name is still in hearing and the image of a bearded woman too.

This year on EV - everyone for himself conchit, albeit without a beard.

Everyone remembers last year's scandal with Julia Samoilova, whom the SBU did not let me sing in Kyiv. The current headlines are no less shocking: "Samoilova headed the" Immortal Regiment "in Lisbon." In the words of Elena Vaengi: "She would try to do it in Micheti." In this case, in Kyiv. Although this does not sound as absurd as it seems. On May 9, several thousand were reached in Kyiv for the “Immortal Regiment” campaign. With St. George ribbons. This is also possible.

But back to Lisbon. There, the procession was supported by the city hall, with red and tricolor Russian flags. Someone is outraged, someone rejoices, but this plot is exactly more interesting than the song of Samoilova I Won`t Break (“Do not break me”), completely faceless.

It would seem, what does Kirkorov have to do with it, whom no one invited to represent Russia in Lisbon? In 1995, he already sang on EV and took 17th place, actually failed. Then he stated that the “Eurovision” is the wrong vote system, so it is not worth participating in it.

And here is Philip Bedrosovich in Portugal. He walks around expensive restaurants, enjoys life and participates in the competition with a group from Moldova (!!!), which is completely inexplicable.

And again, it does not matter at all what exactly he will sing. Whatever he sang, it will definitely be less interesting than its last video “Blue mood”, which everyone is discussing now. There the mat is present, and someone has already heard a direct quote from Radiohead (“Why are there so many Romeks in your work?”)-in general, there is something to talk about.

The Russian trace on EV is clearly visible. Follow your hands: the song of the Chelyabinsk native of Kirill Pavlov was performed by the Ukrainian singer Alekseev, who played for Belarus. Remember? Now forget: Alekseev still did not go to the finals. Despite all efforts. According to the Chelyabinsk press, the singer was "stopped." Who stopped, is incomprehensible. Probably enemies.

And the composition "Outlaw in EM" for the Dutch singer Waylon was written by the Upninsky musician Ilya Toshinsky. True, he lives now in the USA, but this does not mean anything. The United States is not Europe, but Obninsk - Europe, what else.

The Cold War in show business continues between Russia and Ukraine. We are the “Immortal Regiment” and the song “Do not break me”, but they don’t want to say hello.

The applicant from Ukraine Melovin defiantly refused to talk with Russian journalists. He gave a press conference in Ukrainian, but at some point he did not have enough lexical reserve, and he switched to the tongue of the enemy, which he speaks better. His name is actually Konstantin Bocharov.

An unexpected confrontation arose between Latvia and Israel. The Israeli media excavated the biography of the Brazilian Laura Risotto, who represents Latvia this year. It turned out that she was the great -granddaughter of Herbert Tsukurs, which was part of the Araice team, which in 1941 destroyed at least 25,000 Jews. Moreover, Laura considers him a real patriot of Latvia and is proud of kinship.

And about the Israeli applicant, no Barzilai says that she is a former paratrooper, inspired marines during surgery in Gaza with the song “My Sailor is my angel”, which means that it is necessary to boycott it.

This is how the "Eurovision" with the guts out. An interesting competition, rich. It is only not clear why, in this situation, to sing. I propose to conduct the following Eurovision virtually: to put on the Internet the biographies of the participants and discuss to the loss of the pulse, who are worse. Friendship will win, as usual, but music is not needed.
