EUROVISION 2009 WAS MENTAL // MY REACTION

[@goodwillambassador9355]

Yeah... The year the legend was born. "Fairytale" is iconic and Alexander Rybak deserves to be forever remembered just for writing this song

Technically ESC 2009 was the most advanced, also by famous stars and hits , in my opinion

[@brobb00]

13:22 Best Albanian entry ever. I love everything about it: the bizarre staging, the extremely Eurovisiony lyrics. Perfection.

[@nickkarras3425]

Eurovision 2009 was by far one my favorites ! The majority of songs were good and and Rybak deserved for his victory . Fun fact : The song from Azerbaijan was written by the same guy who wrote Fuego ( he is a Swedish and Greek) .

[@buddhidev7877]

I still think that 2009 was the best because of reason you said - lots of traditional sounds (even French did), and the stage And I enjoy many songs and performances (some even more than the winning piece) such as Armenian, Estonian, Azerbaijani, Turkish, Moldovan, Croatian, Greek, Bosnian, Norwegian, Russian, Albanian, etc Oh and when I've learned the meaning of Israeli entry, I thought about the Jew and the Arab (as the song has Hebrew, Arabic and English lyrics)

[@denispolonioroldan5107]

Turkeys best entry was actually in 2003 when they won. Sertab is a true artist. Hadise is just a show girl, she is not an artist. It‘s typical for Turkey, singers like Hadise does always well in the Turkish music business but real artists like Sertab(Turkey 2003) got forgotten

Just because she dances when she sings, cares about staging makes her a non-artist?

Norwegian here, this is the only year I watched outside of home, and what a year it was to do that. I went to the local LGBT club/bar/place, which had it on the big screen, got there early and got one of the few seats in this tiny place. It was absolutely packed, and I remember so vividly the voting whenever we got 10s and 12s especially, people would start dancing, cheering and yelling the melody out loud. The atmosphere was fantastic.

[@alam5055]

About Israeli's song meaning - there is ever ongoing conflict, full of violence and people dying, between Israelis and Palestinians for the land and right to live there. The song is sung by Israeli and Arab duet and is the first Israeli Eurovision song that includes arabic language (language of Palestinians). It is about trying to make peace with each other and search for non-aggresive ways to solve it (hence the title "There must be another way") so people on both sides don't have to suffer anymore. It's one of the most meaningfull and beautiful songs that I've ever heard on Eurovision.

[@armondghazarian1441]

The way you casually dismissed France and it's literally the best composition and presentation of 2009.

[@020nick9]

Hey Noosh.. The meaningful Israeling song was because The duet was between an Israeli singer (Noa) and a singer from Palestine (Mira Awad). That was very controversial back then.. I gueass it would be even more now..

[@MrBurkistan]

I completely disagree with your comment of the set choreographer needing to be fired (for the Albanian entry), the combination of these mysterious figures on stage were an artistically daring decision and reminiscent of something out of a Guillermo Del Torro film. I always found that they gave the performance an mysterious depth.

esc music What is the point of your comment?. He’s Persian. Both of his parents are from Iran. Arash confirmed that the Azerbaijani delegation paid him handsomely to make an appearance and even said he wished he represented Iran. What is your point here?

[@sharkfinn4]

If we're talking about who Arash would have liked to represent, he was totally down to participate in Melodifestivalen. Which isn't strange, considering he's also a first generation Swede.
