It is not like Nemo is somehow special Conchita won 10 years ago as dragqueen and Dana International in 1998 as trans We've had "regular" gays being represented before (Ireland 2018), and guess what? The backlash was still the same. The performance was censored in Russia, several conservative media sites all over Europe were throwing the "they're trying to shove it in our faces!!!" argument and to this day China still hasn't returned to broadcasting the contest. And that was just two guys dancing and hugging! Yet, Eurovision stood by letting their queer participants do their thing and showcase their truth. And no, they're not special, and that's a good thing about Eurovision. Eurovision is the only major cultural event in the world that gives queer people a chance to be unapologetically ourselves, and it actually rewards us for doing so. When was the last time a queer man won a Best Actor Oscar? We've had two queer men in the top 2 in 2019. The last non-straight woman to win an Oscar was in 1995, yet a bisexual woman won Eurovision just last year. A trans woman hadn't won a Grammy until last years ceremony, but a trans woman won Eurovision in the 1990s. Eurovision has a predominantly queer fanbase and it stands by its fanbase. Sure, Eurovision has (a lot of) problems, but as someone who found this contest and community as a lonely 11 year old gay boy more than a decade ago, it truly is a remarkable thing for queer people all over the world and we shouldn't take it for granted. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danai G Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I am sorry guys but am I the only who believes that Loreen was paid DUST by SVT? She is literally the only woman to win twice in Eurovision, she has one of the biggest European hits of all time, Tattoo was a smash too and she brought the seventh win to Sweden. She appeared less times than Charlotte Perrelli, her interval act felt a little bit messy (and low budget, not gonna lie...) and it seems like they completely brushed off her achievements. Not to mention that Forever did nothing on Spotify, the streaming numbers are a little bit disappointing in my opinion. I really hope that she won't fade into oblivion... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than giving her a longer interval performance, I don't see what else SVT could've done. She released a single song in the year after her win, and Tattoo was her biggest hit outside of Europe, yet no album is even on sight. Loreen just keeps screwing up every single career opportunity she gets 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was supposed to perform with Johnny Logan in semi 1 but she dropped out. There's been mixed information, though, as her manager claimed she never intended to perform outside of the final.

Loreen is the biggest loser of this year's Eurovision. She really gave us the most boring performance ever and I don't think SVT is the one to blame. She has consistently proven that she, besides Euphoria and Tattoo, can't make a smart business decision if it was the last thing she does. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has consistently proven that she, besides Euphoria and Tattoo, can't make a smart business decision if it was the last thing she does. Honestly, the fact that she released only one song after her Eurovision win proves that she's truly not interested to purchase a bigger career. She seems pretty modest with the career she has now. Yes, it's sad that she fumbles all of her chances but we have to accept that that's who she is... I saw that she changed labels and she's not signed to Universal Music Group anymore.
