Cyprus 2018: Eleni Foureira - “Fuego”

[La Peneloupée monte le son]

I liked her performance, but I thought that she got too passionate at some point and started shouting. The staging was what killed the song on stage, I think.

The shouting MAKES it!

 

[OutSynk]

Obviously no indication of her live vocal ability here, but I am 100% here for a performance in this vein What a TRAMP!

Wait a minute I actually LOVE this. I feel like it might be time to start digging a bit DEEPER when it comes to this Eleni woman.

The shouting MAKES it!

As much as I think that a song generally needs an actual SINGER, the importance of terrible vocals should NEVER be underestimated, not to mention their immeasurable contribution to the authentic homosexual experience

It really is FABULOUS and that riff has a right drunken down-to-its-torn-bra slutty swagger about it. I had a skip through her most recent album on iTunes (not that I'd buy it on THERE: many pounds sterling for a revolting compressed AAC I THINK NOT) and it sounds like many excitable disco smilies in a row

(I know @Queen of the Bay will be counting the minutes until I crop up to post this)

this is based on a massive Kaiti Garbi song from 2000 called 'To Kati'

I can imagine a furious Cypriot artistic director.
“WTF I said I wanted her to stand on a BOX, not a load of BOOKS”

No wonder she didn’t crack the top 10

Actually amazing! I have almost finished listening to the album and it's actually not shit (except for that Jingle Bells thing and a dreaded ballad).

Why did no one bring the duduk to my attention?

 

[Madison]

Is it in Spanish? (Fuego means Fire).

Alla had the exclusive months ago.

OMG is that a duduk?

I thought it was just a common or garden HORN! CHYPRE FTW!

Those subtitles are rubbish. What does ‘fuego’ mean?

Agog at ELECTRO LATINO infiltrating Eurovision and being in with a shot of winning! Spain should have sent Ana War and Aitana, FOOLS!

Spain doesn't choose, it's TVE. They wanted the infamous pair because of the audience, it's all they care about. As if they are going to send anything that could win.

Fuego has entered the official UK singles chart this week at #64

Not sure if this is good or bad, I presume it's good though coz she shared it on twitter.

 

[Marina Salty]

Also the Irish ones at #50 but no tweet for that.

It’s bloody amazing in the streaming days !

 

[ADONK5]

That Bastille song below it is the worst thing I've heard in a long time. So a small victory there.

Did Toy bother the charts?

 

[Peekaboo]

Toy WHO? This continues to be a total slut pop TRIUMPH.

 

[lolly]

Did Toy bother the charts?

#49, I think.

YASS WERK, Fuego blowing up in Central America

No but seriously, my heart goes out to the victims

 

[Marina Salty]

Caramela is out

 

[C’est la VoR]

Did we know the Helena Paparizou demo leaked? It's pretty much the same, but still...

Caramela is out

I prefer it in its original form

It's obvious that the song was written for her, but I think I prefer it sung by Foureira.
