TMT Special! Nominations: Electronic Music

[Sir Ian Plätschisch]

Since I don't really follow Eurovision, my only method of nominating songs is to click through playlists of nominated songs and pick ones I like. Luckily I found some good ones.

1. Chanel - SloMo (Spain, 2022)

2. Lesley Roy - Maps (Ireland, 2021)

A couple months ago, we in the States attempted the "American Song Contest." This song won (from Oklahoma):

I'm partial to food fights and violins, so there can be only one.

1. Mørland & Debrah Scarlett - A Monster Like Me (Norway, 2015)

[Sir Lüc]

My first two nominations are my pick for this year's winner,

1. Konstrakta - In Corpore Sano (Serbia, 2022)

And likely my second-most favourite among the recent Italian nominations (actual favourite to come later once I settle a minor detail over what version to submit),

2. Francesco Gabbani - Occidentali's Karma (Italy, 2017)

There are 18 spots left. Everyone who wants to nominate now gets another nomination every 24 hours after their previous nomination(s).

3. Daði og Gagnamagnið - Think About Things (Iceland, 2020*)

[Sir Lüc]

I was unsure about which version of my next nomination it would be acceptable to submit. The Eurovision submission was the same as the original, Italian-language song, except for the translated title, some cut measures and random English translations here and there. I kinda dislike that, but eh, whatever.

3. Raphael Gualazzi - Madness of Love (Italy, 2011)

(Of course, this would not be possible anymore. Italy has since stopped throwing a tantrum at Eurovision, and the Sanremo winner now automatically advances as the Italian nomination - so it must be fully Italian language as a prerequisite.)

Interesting that nobody has nominated an actual winner so far...

Looking through some of the older songs, Eurovision used to be a rather dull affair. That is, until this iconic, though controversial, performance, which sounded nothing like any of the previous winners, won and completely changed the nature of the whole contest. (There are definitely some parallels there with another, later, winner). Anyway, a Eurovision TMT would not be complete without it.

France Gall - Poupee de cire, Poupee de son (Luxembourg, 1965)

Winners are eligible? I figured since it was "nominated" it didn't include winners.

Perhaps @Lüc can answer that question. I assumed it wasn't the intention to exclude winners?

Intelligent Music Project - Intention (Bulgaria, 2022)

Correct.

I was looking for a winner to nominate, but then I ended up with a second place finisher anyway  ;D
