Moopyvision 2010-2019 Round 13: Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Slovakia & Turkey

I genuinely find the WOMAN IN A CAGE in that Turkish entry to be absolutely offensive, and honestly shouldn’t have been allowed to happen on the Eurovision stage (:D)
We had a man in a wheel, so why not?
 
Sorry if I don't post every 10 seconds, I'm bosy compiling songs for my much anticipated ALLA MELODIFESTIVALEN EXTRAVAGANZA, coming soon. :disco:
 
@VoR mate have I got time to vote for Slovakia? Don’t want it going FANNY UP KNOW WHAT I MEAN MATE
 
2nd: Can Bonomo - Love Me Back (114pts)

54d4cb525afbd328208b4567


One of Sacha Baron Cohen's more elaborate guises, the alleged Can Bonomo saw out Turkey's 40-year Eurovision journey in a hail of bed linen and barely suppressed homosexuality.

I suppose you could charitably say he was a better time than the 2011 shower, and the footage of him hag-fagging his way through Baku with Kaliopi certainly endeared me to him a bit, but something definitely went off the boil with the Turks in their final years, and even the top ten success of this entry can't disguise the death rattle. At times the song genuinely sounds like he's half-heartedly making it up on the spot. The graph from 'Everyway That I Can' to this is a picture of terminal decline.

4 x 12 (sewerynsven, Penelope, wurst, Kevin)
3 x 0 (Alla, Ill Advised, Buttertart)

1st: MaNga - We Could Be The Same (204pts)

Oh, i suppose if we MUST allow heterosexuals into the playpen, allowing an ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM of one of these per year is acceptable.

15 x 12 (Sane people)
4 x 6 (The Can Bonomo enablers)

I unashamedly QUITE LIKE Can Bonomo, in the context of watching it at Eurovision ONLY. It’s a borderline ridiculous performance you literally wouldn’t get anywhere else :D
 
Oh by the way, if anyone's interested in why Bosnia is such a tragic clusterfuck, I've been re-watching this old BBC documentary on Youtube recently and it's really very interesting if you like that sort of thing.

6 episodes, 45 minutes each, so you can probably burn through it while I write up the three Slovakian entries.

 
We Could Be The Same wasn't my 12 by default, I genuinely think it's amazing. Plus it comes to life brilliantly on stage.

The performance really sticks in my head even a decade on. I thought Lena had the best song, but the Turks had the best performance.

That is a great documentary series! It always reminds me of my university days when I wrote a dissertation on national identity and ethnic cleansing during the Yugoslav Wars.
