On Saturday, the Pala Alpitour will host the Eurovision 2022 final. 25 countries will participate. We have already learned that the “Big Five” countries (Germany, Spain, France, Italy and the United Kingdom) automatically qualified for the finalists as major financial contributors to the competition. This Tuesday, ten more countries won the big night ticket, while the competition for seven more countries ended before midnight. Once again on the lucky and frustrated adults.
It was the beginning of Runella’s complex needs in Turin. In particular due to xenophobic attacks and sexism from haters. “I’m here to sing, if you like my song, listen to it!

The Citi Zeni collection is the fusion of the minds of Cyril Dion (for the green conscience) and Patrick Sébastien (for the backward side). “Instead of meat, I eat vegetables and kittens,” I sing to the Latvians, claiming that “being green is great.” Energetic and smiling in their colorful theater, the audience (and/or the jury) didn’t seem to understand them.

Boys Don’t Cry, Boys Don’t Cry, sang The Cure thirty years ago. Marius Behr takes the opposite view by emphasizing in “Boys Cry” Yes, boys cry. A story that is unforgettable in itself, but takes on a bit of consistency once sung on the Eurovision set, wrapped in a scenography that disguises its development in simplicity.

LPS, short for “Last Pizza Slice,” “last pizza slice,” is a strange group name. But it goes so well with this friendly band of young Slovenians who make the impression that they have skipped a high school orchestra rehearsal to come and crowd at Eurovision. their song, discis one of this year’s curiosity: Depending on which ears you’re listening to, it diffuses flashy retro magic or makes you want to yawn under a disco ball.

If there is one country whose ability to qualify is in doubt, it is Ukraine. A final without a kaluche orchestra was unimaginable. Indeed because the song Stefania He is at the top of the basket in this semi-final and he fully deserves his ticket for Saturday evening.

One of the main pitfalls to avoid at Eurovision: choose a piece that matches the previous year’s winner. Bulgaria fell right into it by inviting a rock group, Smart Music Project (hardly egotistical name), in the hope that they would succeed Manskin’s rock band. the song, intentionMoreover, it is so basic, that it gives the impression that you have already heard a thousand times.

“Hey let’s go! Folklore and rock ‘n’ roll, Zdoob sings Zdoop’s costume that takes us on a train journey between the Moldavian and Romanian capitals, Chisinau and Bucharest. Even if this piece of tourists’ folklore is more than a masterpiece, the good humor is infectious.” Her ticket to the third final after her previous two participations in 2005 and 2011.

Portugal is one of the few countries (along with Italy and Ukraine for example) that has real consistency in its Eurovision choices. Through Festival da Cançao – the song festival that is a selection of the competition – he presents good songs, sometimes bold, but he should never be ashamed of them, even when he fails to qualify for the final.

You may have heard this song Helloon French radio. In the studio version, it has all the dance tube that makes you want to adventure on the dance floor. At the Eurovision stage it loses its energy.

As their name suggests, the Systur are three sisters, who are Icelandic, who sing in their native language. Their guitar song evokes the great American plains more than the island fjords, but it makes anyone who would bother listening to it travel.

Amanda Teneford is one of my favorites in this edition. His qualification to the final was a formality. The unusual show—she swivels between the “soft” chairs that Dalí wasn’t dismissive of—should be dreamlike. The singer could continue his dream of victory.
