What made artists enroll in Eurovision again and again?
Loreen, the previous solid Eurovision winner, may retake the trophy in 2023. While I personally wish for either Spain or Italy to win, the chances are slim. Euphoria is such a Eurovision all-time hit and Loreen has become an iconic Eurovision star. She looks amazing with a perfect body and a likable personality. Her well-established reputation can easily influence juries and appeal to fans. Her latest song Tattoo does not surprise me and sounds like a formula-made pop song.
Italian Eurovision songs are always deeper and richer, both in their sound and lyrics. The Spanish entry embeds traditional folk sounds in pop, so distinctively different that the artist may not win public votes.
Over the years, several singers participated in Eurovision multiple times.
Irish singer Johnny Logan won Eurovision in 1980 with “What’s Another Year”, and again in 1987 with “Hold Me Now”. He also wrote the winning song for Linda Martin in 1992. Eurovision turned him into an internationally known artist.
Alexander Rybak represented Norway in 2009 and won the contest with his song “Fairytale” in high energy. But his entry “That’s How You Write a Song” in 2018 sounded naive. With respectable results, he remained the fans’ favorite.
Corry Brokken and Udo Jurgens have also won the contest twice. If Loreen wins again, people may change their opinions on Sweden’s pop song formula.
