Eurovision 2018: Central Europe
We’re almost halfway through our 2018 Eurovision contestants, and next up are the countries of Central Europe. Some have been competing in the Eurovision Song Contest since the very beginning– Switzerland gave us our first ever winner, the incomparable Lys Assia, who sadly passed away last month at the age of 94. Others have had a slower start and some trouble finding their voice at the Contest. 
Czech Republic: “Lie To Me,” Mikolas Josef
youtube
The Czech Republic has never done well at Eurovision. They’ve competed six times and have made the final only once. So, it feels a bit strange to say that a Czech entry is an early favorite. But Mikolas Josef has a catchy, modern, fun song. The brass section makes it instantly recognizable, and it’s different from everything else in the competition. Dare I say it, but not only will Czech Republic qualify for the final, they are looking at a top ten finish for themselves in Lisbon. 
Slovenia: “Hvala, ne!” Lea Sirk
youtube
Lea has been in the Slovenian Eurovision circuit for a few years; she competed in the national selection show in 2009 and 2010 and provided backing vocals to the winner in 2014 and 2016. Last year, she was celebrated for her impression of Portuguese winner, Salvador Sobral. So it’s only fitting that she was chosen to represent Slovenia in Portugal this year. “Hvala, ne!” (translation: “No Thank You!”) is cool and current. Hopefully the staging will match and send Lea to the final.
Hungary: "Viszlát nyár," AWS
youtube
Confession: I have never listened to this song by post-hardcore metal band, AWS. I’ve tried, but only made it about 5 seconds before my body took over and turned it off. But I asked a straight guy to listen to it, and he says it sucks. So there you have it. 
Switzerland: “Stones,” Zibbz
youtube
Zibbz is made up of siblings, Corinne “Coco” and Stefan “Stee” Gfeller, who are based in Los Angeles. The pair are quite prolific, working with lots of big names in America and their native Switzerland. “Stones” is a cool pop-rock song, but the Swiss haven’t made the final in a few years. The last decade or so, Switzerland has had a pretty terrible track record, coming dead last in the semis several times. Maybe Zibbz will get a better result.
Austria: “Nobody But You,” Cesár Sampson
youtube
There’s an interesting link between Austria and Bulgaria this year, and that’s Cesár Sampson. The Austrian singer has worked in Bulgaria for several years, and he previously sang back-up at Eurovision for Poli Genova in 2016 and Kristian Kostov in 2017. In fact, the exact team (Borislav Milanov, Sebastian Arman, and Joacim Bo Persson) who wrote Poli’s and Kristian’s songs is behind César’s as well (they also wrote Bulgaria’s entry this year, “Bones”– these guys are busy!). Considering how well Bulgaria has done the last two years (4th and 2nd place, respectively), César might have a verifiable hit with “Nobody But You.”

33. POLAND
Alicja Szemplinska - “Empires”
youtube
Sigh, we’ve entered *that* portion of the ranking where the songs are mostly slogs we have trudge through, as opposed to actually interesting, complex songs. Well, then...
Song Analysis
So yeah, today we complete out wonderful, exciting triad of Fall from the sky / Looking back / Empires. Three ballads in the second semifinal. Three songs that in my opinion have no discernible or even vaguely interesting traits and probably would’ve bombed in Eurovision proper. 
What can I even write about “Empires” what isn’t already abundantly obvious to any of you? It’s a lowest common denominator bond song, a paint-by-numbers power ballad that at no points grabs or maintains interest. Alecja is a living breathing blank canvas, brought in solely to provide a voice for her insipid song.
I also find it highkey offensive that Alecja and the team behind “Empires” insist that their song had a  “Socially” “””””Relevant””””” message. Alecja, your song was fucking WRITTEN BY -who fucking else- little miss LAURELL FUCKING BARKER. 
Laurell Barker, who constantly thrives off the intellectual capital of more talented musicians, such as Corinne and Stefan Gfeller? Laurell Barker, who is only capable of producing ‘quality’ by xerox’ing more popular entrants, such as “Fuego”?  Laurell Barker whose lyrical trademarks are blatantly splicing African American Vernacular English into songs performed by white people, to create an illusion of sass, such as “Wild” (and this will be the *ONLY* reference to Failee in the entire ranking, girl you lost a televote to Kristin Husøy)  Laurell Barker, who loves combining words not based on their meaning, but based on their phonetic proximity, because it sounds cool to ESL listeners, which we see in “Empires” in fact!!!  (”like moths to a flame, like birds to a pane... of... glass???”  ¿que?) Laurell Barker, who introduced the world to the horror of Małgorzata Jamroży (WHAT has Margaret been up to, even? I cannot wait for her to show up in Melfest 2021, as Dolly Style’s new Holly)
Wokeness my ass.  Don’t insult my intelligence. 
NF Corner
Poland sought to copy their JESC successes by using their JESC selection format to select their ESC entrants as well. Except, they completely forgot to add in good songs? or tell their contestants it was an NF in the first place? 
Lake Malawi - “Lucy”
youtube
Such a blatant B-side filler album track lmfao <3 Apparently, Albert had no clue he had enrolled himself into a functioning eurovision NF, which is hysterical given that he almost won (and would have won if he hadn’t expessedly told the Polish press he DIDN’T want to win <3). Imagine if “Lucy” had won tho. The trio that represented Czech last year returning for Poland with a song about their 2019 ESC experience, a song named after one of the 2019 host, via *accidentally* winning the NF they mistakenly believed to be a talent show. This is legit one of the silliest sentences I’ve ever typed out on this blog and we were *this* close to it coming to fruition. WHAT IS THIS FREAKY FRIDAY YEAR????
Eurovision 2020 vs Eurovision 2021
“Empires” would’ve NQ’d for aforementioned reasons, yeah? forgettable ballad not many people liked, drawn into the first half of a semi filled with similarly tepid lowtempo humdrum. Things weren’t looking too hot for Alecja. 
However, redemption is on its way, because I do believe TVP will just select her again for 2021 (In fact, OGAE Poland already said they will, so what are TVP even waiting for? It’s common knowledge Alecja will return, just... announce her?) 
Hopefully with a better song, tho. 🙄 Can someone give her Pierre Dumoulin’s phone number? I’m sure he has a few demo’s she can work with...
Tumblr media
FREAKY! FRIDAY! FACTOR! 
If Lake Malawi had won this would have EASILY been a score of at least 4 senheads, but sadly the boring tepid ballad won and well... that ain’t exciting. I do live for the persistent rumours that Szansa was allegedly rigged FOR Alecja by her rich-ass dad, but let’s be honest she won because she was the best vocalist and because Albert muerde-me’d his own winning chances, and ain’t nothing Freaky! about that. 
Score: 1 Senhit out of 5.

Zibbz
Zibbz (sometimes stylized as ZiBBZ) is a Swiss duo made of siblings Corinne and Stefan Gfeller. The duo was founded in 2008. Since 2011, Coco and Stee have split their time between Switzerland and Los Angeles. Between 2011 and 2015, the band had their own weekly reality show about their lives in Los Angeles and the road to success in the music industry on the Swiss television channel Joiz. Their first studio album Ready? Go! was released in 2013 and peaked at number-14 on the official Swiss album charts.
They will represent Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 with the song "Stones" (in English).
