Beyond Eurovision...
Imagine Gjon's Tears + Barbara Pravi in duet...
Both are wells of endless, emotional power...

PASSING THOUGHT: Eurovision public voting...
I wonder to what extent body appeal + posture/posturising + special effects contribute to the public final vote on a song...
Further, it could be interesting to note the age range of the viewing audience...
It's not all about the song? pic.twitter.com/JMUiziDdTk

inspiration mirror...

PASSING THOUGHT: Avoid the inspiration mirror...
Imitating a writer or image maker
= a photoshopped replica...
Where are you?...
Seek the wheelbarrows of life
and give them a voice...
a meaning...
And then, your voice can be heard...
and felt... pic.twitter.com/NEPjN0ucNe

For the record, I support the jury voting - Switzerland's
Gjon's Tears in 1st place...
A beautiful personality shining through a beautiful song...
refreshing relief from the explosion of 'wham bam' glitz...
In the final count, Gjon's Tears placed 3rd... pic.twitter.com/lhRPWEzgUA

Eurovision 2021 - Adored the unique, magnetic sounds of France's Barbara Pravi's voice...
Placed 2nd...
Whispers of Edith Piaf in her voice blended with so much more...her roots extending through her grandparents to Serbia, Iran, Poland and North Africa.https://t.co/LtiAY4QRkF

a wheelbarrow's life...

unloaded
only traces
of shadows
