Tamara Todevska - Proud (North Macedonia 2019)

[VoR]

Funny one, this. I think it is clearly an absolutely top tier Eurovision ballad. Emotive, catchy, exceptional vocals. It’s kind of a no-brainer to me why this stormed the Jury vote.

But I get the impression that (at least in gay internet circles) I’m very much in the minority and most people either hate it, are baffled by its success or both.



What do YOU think?

 

[VoR]

I will allow that the ill-fitting green dress was a total boot.

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I think the GAY INTERNET CIRCLES would be more on-board had she delivered a TITS OUT BANGER REMIX a la ULRIKKE from Norway and her ATTENTION (gay aneurysm redub)

Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, Tamara Todevska had OTHER ideas (or rather NO IDEA AT ALL!)

I’m happy that she stormed the jury vote with the knowledge that she didn’t win the whole thing in the end

PIGSHIT

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I did love her JURY STORM storyline from nowhere, despite Austria doing it the year before (?) with that song about that man beating up his girlfriend (??)

CATCHY?

JURIES LOVE THAT SORT OF THING

Why on EARTH is this thread in CLASSICS?!

 

[Penelope]

Well sung but honestly dreadful.

 

[lolly]

I don't think it IS well sung. Yes, she can sing, but the whole thing is so overwrought that I don't like her vocal at all.

BIT SHOUTY.
