The 2024 Eurovision Song Contest<\/a><\/strong> is sure to be remembered as evoking strong feelings among participants and viewers alike. Similarly, I feel there was a slight injustice to the acts taking part and their creative\u00a0artistry and that the work\/performances become overshadowed by divisive world politics. Eurovision\u00a0for\u00a0me\u00a0is always about celebrating the artists, their songs and performances. Therefore, my post-coverage of the event is on that basis only.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2003, Swedish pop queen Loreen<\/strong> won the competition in Liverpool (hosting on behalf of Ukraine) with her phenomenal entry “Tattoo<\/strong>.” And that ultimately took Eurovision back to\u00a0Sweden,\u00a0for the seventh time with Malmo the host destination for 2024. No expense was spared for Eurovision this year laying on a colourful spectacle of lights, stage performance and\u00a0most\u00a0importantly…phenomenal pop songs. As\u00a0always\u00a0the night of the Grand Final presented some earworm tracks of the like where I can’t get them out of my head. The remedy to this earworm invasion is blogging them right here.<\/p>\n\n\n

“Unforgettable” by Marcus & Martinus (Sweden)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you would expect, Sweden knew the assignment\u00a0when it came submitting a memorable, catchy track. “Unforgettable<\/strong>”\u00a0performed\u00a0by twins Marcus & Martinus Gunnarsen<\/strong>,\u00a0is a\u00a0very\u00a0typical entry for Sweden.\u00a0A profusely upbeat, electro-pop track replete with an instant sing-along chorus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance-wise\u00a0the\u00a0Swedish team laid on a light effects spectacle based on a Matrix-like theme. In all honesty, if the track wasn’t already dazzling enough, the use of copious LED lights\u00a0most certainly\u00a0was made the overall performance blazingly brilliant.
