Eurovision 2021: Miley & Me Part 5.

To be read as a direction continuation of Part 4; https://watchitdie.blogspot.com/2021/07/eurovision-2021-miley-me-part-4.html

Bulgaria: This year they were represented by VICTORIA (Georgieva) with the song; "Growing Up Is Getting Old."

Victoria was born in 1997 in the Bulgarian city of Varna. Sitting on the Black Sea coast this was originally named; "Odessos" or "Odessa." 

In reference to the Odessa in Ukraine.

Site of one of the darkest incidents in the Joe Biden-led US partnership with Nazis and neo-Nazis to overthrow Ukraine's government in 2014. The Odessa Trade Union Building Massacre.

On May 2nd 2014 (2/1/14) Biden backed Nazis and neo-Nazis opened fire on supporters of the Ukrainian government. Forcing them to take shelter in the Trade Union Building.

Biden's Nazis and neo-Nazis then set fire to the building. Shooting people as they tried to escape. Massacring at least 42 people. Many being, painfully, burned alive.

Sadly that was just an early taste of the depravity that Biden's Nazis and neo-Nazis would come to inflict on Ukraine. 

In 2011, at the age of 14, Victoria auditioned for the Bulgarian edition of; "X-Factor" but was unsuccessful.

In 2012, at age 15, she auditioned again. Once again being unsuccessful.

Victoria was also unsuccessful when she auditioned in 2013, at age 16.

In order to start a wider conversation it is claimed that Victoria was rejected because of her age. Considered too young to be starting a showbiz career.

This served to further drive home that important message to America.

That Miley Cyrus' child stardom isn't going to trouble, let alone, shock us in any way.

Although we are prepared to help America. Clean up the mess it is clearly making of it.

Provided they're not needlessly aggressive about it. Making it more trouble than it's worth.

In 2015, aged 18, Victoria was accepted to appear on the Bulgarian edition of X-Factor. Placing 6th.

On the back of that success she was offered a contract by Virgin Records. However Victoria felt herself too good for them. Opting instead to sign for Monte Music in 2016.

However by 2017 Victoria had also decided herself too good for Monte Music. So was dropped by her record label due to her arrogant, aggressive and generally bad attitude.

Victoria is now; 'exploring alternative economic models in her music career'.

That is to say she is being sponsored by the Ligna Furniture Group. Really just to do this.

Ligna Furniture Group specialise in the interior decoration of high-end hotels. I don't think they would even consider employing someone with tastes as tacky as Tish Cyrus.

This should have served to drive home that important message to Miley Cyrus.

That one of the big concerns we all share about her is that her current record deal is coming to an end.

Amid all these disturbances she is causing. It is unlikely that anyone is going to offer her a new one.

Knowing that it will be 6-8 years before they're able to release anything. While spending a fortune on PR to get the radioactive stink off her.

I gather that in response to the Song Contest. Miley Cyrus has, herself, been invited to; 'explore alternative economic models in her music career.'

Partnering with the British icecream brand; "Walls." Part of the Anglo-Dutch; "Unilever Group." Which doesn't even carry the prestige of the Ligna Furniture Group.

The message of the song is succinctly summed up by its title. It's all about the inner turbulence experienced by a young woman growing into adulthood.

How it is so much like hard work. How she wishes she could simply refuse to do it.

Tellingly. Victoria is a full five years younger than Miley Cyrus.

Like ROXEN (Roxana Giurgiu) who represented Bulgaria's neighbour, Romania. Victoria has been very keen to invite comparisons with Billie Eilish.

As I explained during the 2021 Super Bowl. Internet Streaming has pretty much removed Music TV from my life.

As recently as a couple of years ago I had about a dozen Music TV channels on my satellite TV package.

As Internet Streaming has taken off that has dropped to just one. A channel whose content cannot be described as; "mainstream."

As the people behind; "Blindspot." Including David Clayton Rogers, who played Icelandic hacker "Icecream." Will tell you. Things have a tendency to go a bit off-the-rails. When I stream them.

So experience has taught me to be extremely hesitant in streaming videos by young, female popstars.

Lest they be popped on a white horse. Only to turn up at my house. Completely uninvited.

Meaning that I cannot say I am particularly familiar with the work of Billie Eilish. Who is already dangerously close to James Bond.

However much of the frenzy of attention around her. Seems to stem from the fact that not only does she seem to be very talented.

She is also a precocious talent. Releasing her first, and I mean her, music at the age of just 14.

I suspect much of the current attention around Billie Eilish is due to her refusal to use her sexuality to help promote her music.

Only appearing to baggy, concealing clothes. In an industry where clothes often seem to be a completely alien concept.

The suspicion is that this is not a carefully considered political stance. It is merely that as a young woman Billie Eilish has not yet learned to embrace her sexuality. In short; She's shy.

This has prompted Vogue magazine to step in.

To help Billie Eilish embrace her sexuality. Which can be both a great source of pleasure and a powerful weapon. Putting her on the cover of their June 2021 edition. 

Billie Elish is a full decade younger than Miley Cyrus.

So it is particularly humiliating for the people around her. 

That Miley Cyrus is still lacking in the basic conversational skills. Needed to discuss Billie Eilish's Vogue appearance.

Let alone understand and embrace her own sexuality.

Speaking of those who seem to be painfully lacking in, just, basic, conversational skills.

I gather that in response to the Song Contest Vogue have pulled Rihanna in again. For a cognitive assessment regarding certain, recent, issues.

While reminding her of what her life was like at the time of her 2013 Diamonds World Tour (DWT).

When she did a similar cover shoot for British men's magazine GQ. On; "Page 332!"

A direct reference to the number I used to be known as.

As I've pointed out. As a procession of nearly 39 nations have pointed out.

Miley Cyrus is nowhere near the level. Where she would warrant consideration by the Song Contest in her own right.

The interest here is due to the potential for her developing a relationship with me. The remedy that has been nearly two years in the preparation.

So, line with the Song Contest's "No Overt Politics" rule. Officially Victoria's song is about her father. Who is dying from ALS or; "Lou Gehrig’s Disease."

Meaning my comments about it being painful to watch. Where, perhaps, more sensitive than they might first have appeared.

This is a reference to Britain's fevered desire for my own father to die. Specifically it is a reference to the Cognitive Dissonance that is the result of this unshakeable belief held by Britain.

They believe that my father's death is the moment all their dreams come true. Others seem to be of the opinion that will be the moment that Britain is no longer seen as an offender with a hope of rehabilitation.

If Britain has misread the situation. As all available evidence would suggest.

Then they do not have much time left. Before a whole world of pain is unleashed upon them.

So the main motif of Victoria's live performance was the sands of time running out.  Signified by the sands of an hour-glass falling from above throughout her performance.

Victoria's performance took place on two levels. Literal, physical levels. Perhaps in reference to Norway's entry; "Fallen Angel" by TIX.

Victoria performed on a floating platform in the style of a desert. As dry as Miley Cyrus is leaving the women she's supposed to be appealing to.

The lower level, the stage floor. The level Miley Cyrus' arrogance would never let her ascend to. That level was moist. Damp with pools of water.

This contrast highlighted the issue of watershed management. Both the serious side of the issue. Along with the euphemisms for lesbians and lesbianism.

The Song Contest is merely the gala event of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). The founding principle of the EBU is to advance technology in all elements of broadcasting.

So the Song Contest does enjoy a massively overblown gimmick, including stage sets. Simply to find out if it is technically possible to do.

While it's really my job to cover the serious side. The Song Contest is also meant to be fun and entertaining. So where would it be? Without some silly sexual innuendo.

As part of the performance Victoria has really emphasised her ginger or red hair. This was an effort to make her look as much like Patsy Stevenson, the most high-profile arrest at the Sarah Everard vigil.

To drive home to Miley Cyrus. Just how sickening her attacks on the gay community have been.

The same gay community she is rumoured to be so dependent on personally. The gay community she is certainly dependent on professionally.

Britain gave Patsy Stevenson such prominence during the Sarah Everard saga. Due to the fact she closely resembles Stacey Dooley. A darling of Britain's participating broadcaster, the BBC.

I must say that the appeal of Stacey Dooley remains a complete mystery to me. Although I suspect it's something to do with Mummy being someone high up at the BBC.

Plus she does her imitation working class (Mockney) accent so well.

The reason why Britain was trying to highlight Stacey Dooley during the Sarah Everard saga. Is that Stacey Dooley won the 2018 season of the BBC's "Strictly Come Dancing." The uniquely British name given to Dancing With The Stars (DWTS).

The 2020 season of Strictly Come Dancing featured a same-sex couple. Dancer Katya Jones and Boxer Nicola Adams. In a Miley Cyrus style attack on the gay community as a whole, and certain members in particular.

This angered me. So COVID-19 struck them down and out of the show. I hope no-one's planning to repeat that error of judgement. I would hate to have to smite them again.

The video submitted as part of the entry. Begins with a sarcastic British newscast. About Europe being devastated and heartbroken.

Apparently not a reference to Brexit. But to the 2020 Song Contest being cancelled.

This newscast is being watched by Victoria with her coat on and suitcase packed. As she was just about to leave to participate in the 2020 Song Contest.

It then shows her aimlessly wandering around the apartment. As so many of us were forced to do during the 2020 Lockdown.

These hotel room like scenes also seem to reflect the frustrations of the Ligna Furniture Group. 

Who've been forced to keep their sponsorship of Victoria up for an entire year longer than planned. A year that has been particularly tough on the hotel and travel industry.

Wandering round her apartment/suite Victoria opens a closet. This transports her, "The Lion the Witch And the Wardrobe" style into a secret world.

In that secret world Victoria meets a young, pre-pubescent girl. Perhaps a representation of herself as a child. 

The theme of childhood runs through the video. With children's toys along with pictures and videos of children playing and with their parents. 

Really slamming home the message. About the embarrassingly childlike, Kindergarten level the nearly 30 year old Miley Cyrus still seems trapped at.

Eventually the walls fall away. Leaving Victoria standing on a platform floating in the sky.

This was a reference to the BBC/HBO adaptation of; "His Dark Materials." Specifically the "Mrs Marisa Coulter" character, played by Ruth Wilson.

Within His Dark Materials each character is accompanied by a; "Daemon." An animal representing their personality. In the TV show they are CGI animated.

The red-haired Mrs Coulter's Daemon is a Gibbon. There is one particular scene in Season 1, Episode 3 where Mrs Coulter's plan is thwarted. This prompts her Daemon to throw a very physical, sulky tantrum.

Ruth Wilson is able to accurately mimic the physicality and movement. Of that CGI animated Gibbon. That she simply had to imagine in the scene.

As we've learnt from Andy Serkis. When a White actor is able to make themselves successfully appear non-human. By mimicking the physicality and movement of an animal.

They are celebrated for their mastery of a fundamental skill of their craft.

As we learned from the Season 4 finale of; "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." When a Black actor displays a similar mastery of their craft. Anyone involved is attacked for racism.

Due to the fact that Black Lives Matter are complete idiots.

Over the course of the two weeks of the Song Contest. I'm sure you could discuss all aspects of Ruth Wilson and her career.

Such as her role in; "The Affair." With its themes of generational trauma and ASMR- like biofeedback techniques to treat it. Which the US/UK, clearly, have still not managed to understand.

Or how Ruth Wilson's role in The Affair could possibly be considered work qualifying her for the Oscars Academy. Particularly at a time when gender parity is seen as more important than ever.

I think though. It is mainly in reference to Ruth Wilson's debut TV role. In the UK TV show; "The Doctor Who Hears Voices." In which she plays a young Doctor who develops serious mental illness.

In one scene in particular her character becomes convinced. That the oxygen pump in a fishtank in the lobby has become linked to the heart monitor in a patient's room.

This is one of the most accurate depictions of psychosis I have ever seen. The sort of thing that is nearly impossible to fake. To the point that it would fool qualified medical professionals.

Clearly I'm not the only one who was impressed.

Throughout Lockdown one of the, many, TV shows I watched was the Australian; "Wentworth Prison." A reimagining of the 1979-1986 Australian TV show; "Prisoner: Cell Block H." Or simply; "Prisoner."

Prisoner: Cell Block H remains an absolutely iconic TV show amongst the lesbian community. Dating from a time when representation of gay characters and stories in popular culture was nowhere near as widespread as it is now.

Shows like Netflix's; "Orange is the New Black" are merely pretenders to Prisoner: Cell Block H's throne. 

Continuing that mantle Season 8 of Wentworth Prison dealt with Transgender issues. Through the "Reb Keane" character, played by Zoe Terakes.

However, unlike Orange is the New Black's "Sophia Burset" character, played by Laverne Cox. Who has completed her gender transition/confirmation and just demands that we accept it.

The Reb character is at the beginning of her process to transition/confirm his male gender. So the show set out to look at the process in detail.

Such as the specific hormone therapies involved. What exactly it is they do. The problems sourcing those hormone drugs through different, black market, supply chains within the prison. 

Along with medical and psychological assessments that are required as part of more formal, official treatment.

This even looked as though it was going to touch on issues of cult indoctrination, psychological trauma and gay conversion therapy.

Then the pandemic hit. Forcing the show to rapidly re-adjust its plans.

Being set in a prison they had an easy device to deal with Lockdown. They just put the prison into Lockdown.

However it was during those episodes they played a clever trick.

Raising the background audio track to the level of, or above, the dialogue track. Drowning out the speech. Giving a viewing experience similar to that of a hearing impaired person.

You almost get the impression "Sound Of Metal's" inclusion at the 2021 Oscars. Was merely a stand-in for Wentworth Prison.

A recurring theme throughout Season 8 is the psychiatrist. Who keeps a goldfish in a tank in his office.

An wholly intentional and complimentary reference. To Ruth Wilson's work in The Doctor Who Hears Voices.

Wentworth Prison certainly caught the attention of "Euphoria." The second of their Christmas 2020 specials featured Hunter Schafer's Trans character "Jules" visiting a psychologist.

Talking about how she was regretting the decision to transition to the female gender. Mentioning, at length, the specific hormonal implants she would have to have removed to reverse the process.

Perhaps showing its Israeli roots Euphoria's Christmas specials were so miserable. You could almost dub them; "Jews Try To Ruin Christmas."

The video ends with Victoria being transferred through the TV back into her apartment/suite. Where she is finally able to leave.

Just as we all hope.

The hijackers will set Miley Cyrus free and let her move on with her life.

Norway: This year they were represented by TIX (Andreas Andressen) with the song; "Fallen Angel."

This was a complete mockery of the US/UK's recent embarrassing effort. The collaboration between 'Lil Nas X and Miley Cyrus; "Montero."

Immediately following the 2021 Super Bowl Miley Cyrus released the single; "Angels Like You."

While TIX's stage performance featured him surrounded by four Demons/Devils. Just as 'Lil Nas X danced for the Devil in the video for Montero.

That US/UK effort was itself a reference to the US TV show; "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Specifically Season 3, Episode 11 "Gingerbread." The episode sees the town gripped by a moral panic. Over witchcraft and magic.

It was intended as a protest by the production. Against the pressure they and the network were coming under.

From the American Evangelical Christians who had worked themselves up into a moral panic. Over the show's depictions of witchcraft and magic.

Unfortunately Britain's intelligence and gay communities took this as a metaphor for homosexuality and homophobia. On the back of this misjudgement Britain and America then made some incredibly bad choices.

The thing that has everybody mystified. Is why would the US/UK want to remind everyone of this?

One of the most embarrassingly stupid, self-destructive mistakes they've ever made. Certainly between the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the 2011 creation of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

One possibility is that the US/UK were posing it as a question. Asking if everyone agreed that this was one of the most embarrassingly stupid, self-destructive mistakes they've ever made.

In itself that it a little alarming.

The US/UK have achieved absolutely none of the things they hoped to achieve with that mistake. Faced with such a mountain of evidence it should no longer be a question that it was an embarrassingly stupid, self-destructive mistake.

There is an even more alarming possibility.

That despite that huge mountain of evidence. The US/UK are still in complete denial about it being one of the most embarrassingly stupid, self-destructive mistakes they've ever made.

Thinking perhaps the emotional trauma of discovering Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the first time. Would see me pour all my heart and secrets out to Miley Cyrus on the Internet.

Even the possibility of that being the case would cause significant alarm to the US/UK's friends and allies. It would show them to be utterly delusional. Completely insane. Not the sort of people it's safe to be around.

Like Billie Eilish TIX suffers from Tourettes Syndrome. A Neurodevelopmental disorder affecting the Nervous System. It is characterised by involuntary movements and speech.

Despite their frequent and increasingly bizarre outbursts. There is no evidence that the US, the UK or Miley Cyrus have been formally diagnosed with Tourettes Syndrome.

Andreas Andressen chose the stagename; "TIX" in references to the involuntary moves, "Tics", which affect him. Primarily in and around his eyes. To hide what can appear to be excessive blinking he often wears dark glasses.

If you wished to be hurtful. Then I suppose you could describe Andreas Andressen as; "A blinky eyed weirdo."

You can certainly describe current, alleged, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken as a weirdo.

TIX's backstory, submitted as part of the entry. Is all about how his Tourettes has affected him. The mental health issues, such as loneliness and depression etc, associated with it.

Not caused by Tourettes. Caused by the way people have treated him because of his Tourettes.

The video in support of the entry. Tells the story of a lonely boy being bullied in school. Only to find solace in music.

Particularly Elton John. In a bit of a reference to the UK TV show; "Killing Eve." Specifically Russia set Season 3, Episode 5; "Are You From Pinner."

The pandemic and its Lockdowns have adversely affected a lot of people's mental health. Particularly causing feelings of isolation, loneliness and depression.

However solutions to mental health issues are amongst the main objectives the US/UK were hoping to achieve. Through their failure to understand the Gingerbread episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

They've not achieved a single one of them.

So this was Norway mocking them. With a long laundry list of all the things they've failed to achieve. All the things they will never achieve. Until they reverse one of the embarrassingly stupid, self-destructive mistakes they've ever made.

The song is all about a man who has been dumped by his girlfriend, wife, female romantic partner. How that's left him feeling like an Angel who has been cast out, fallen from Heaven.

He's pining for her to take him back. So he can once again ascend to the level of emotional bliss he felt when they were together.

This is clearly how the US/UK and Miley Cyrus see my relationship with Miley Cyrus. How I'd pour all my heart and secrets out. Just to have her look at me.

However. One of the most famous Fallen Angels is Sameal/Samuel. God's Venom, God's Poison, God's Vengeance. COVID-19 sounds like it might be his work.

Despite being one of the most famous Fallen Angels this is actually a misnomer. Sameal is not a Fallen Angel.

Sameal is actually one of the most cherished Angels. Who is dispatched to the level of the humans, even sometimes to the level of the beasts. To carry out God's will.

One of the most painfully embarrassing things about the 'Lil Nas X/Miley Cyrus collaboration was the Pentagram featuring "Satan Shoe."

Despite the fact the Pentagram is not even a symbol of evil. Let alone Satanism. As with the western, European Animist religions that use the Pentagram. Judaism has no concept of Heaven and Hell.

Once you understand those details. Then the song takes on a much more mocking tone. Regarding the US, the UK and Miley Cyrus' attitude.

Sameal is referenced in the Johnny Cash song; "Sam Hall." Written about one third of the World Famous Thrupple I was once in.

The third Miley Cyrus was attacking with her collaboration in the Sarah Everard murder. Along with the gay community as a whole.

Further highlighting to Miley Cyrus. Along with everyone else. Just how sickeningly unpleasant, self-destructive and violent Miley Cyrus' behaviour has been.

Another Johnny Cash song which was much talked about this year was; "Like A Soldier." Through the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff; "Angel" this really touches on Belgium's main area this year.

However the song is really about someone recovering from trauma. Being it war or a life of crime. 

The thing that has sustained them through it all. Which could be interpreted as music or religion.

It's widely considered to be about love. The romantic love of a partner. Due to the lyric; "My spoils of victory is you."

This is how everyone else is seeing Miley Cyrus' relationship with me. Her being the reward given to the most cherished Angel.

Although, obviously. If their friends are decent people.

Single people tend to get pushed together by their mutual friends because they think they're on roughly the same level. Any relationship will benefit them both.

The really embarrassing thing for Miley Cyrus. Is that Like A Soldier was originally a duet between Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson.

It's well established that Dolly Parton knows Miley Cyrus. Dolly Parton is Miley Cyrus's godmother. The person charged with looking after her spiritual and emotionally well being.

There also seems to be rather a lot of evidence. That Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson know each other.

So it's painful to watch Miley Cyrus fail to pick up on the hints. When those hints have been built around source material produced by people whose phonenumbers she definitely has.

Miley Cyrus would be well served to heed the advice of TIX. He's a very well established figure within both the US and European music industry. Although as a song writer and producer rather than a performer.

It was partly his influence that saw Flo Rida appear at this year's Song Contest. Having worked extensively with Flo Rida and owning the copyright of many of his songs.

TIX has also worked extensively with Ava Max. Including on her debut single "Sweet But Psycho."

At the 2019 Song Contest, the most recent one. There was a lot of buzz around the terms; "King" and "Queen."

Israel of course used their entry to declare me to be their new Messiah. Or King.

In their spectacular lunacy Iceland used Bondage Domination, Submission, Masochism (BDSM) sex. As a metaphor for the Israel/Palestine conflict. With Israelis being the Kings and Palestinians being the Queens.

France were represented by Bilal Hassani with the song; "Roi (King)." Although that did feel as though the public who nominated it were just reading the invitation back to us.

Bilal Hassani's effort wasn't the most embarrassing though. That honour went to Ava Max. Trying to muscle in on the Song Contest with the song; "Kings and Queens."

Appearing on stage in shackles. It's easy to suggest TIX was performing here as some sort of community service agreement. Punishment for inflicting Ava Max on us.

I think there were similar jokes made about Bar Refaeli being forced to host the 2019 Song Contest. As the community service component of her punishment for tax evasion.

Although it is my job to cover the serious side of the Song Contest. Certainly not everything at the Song Contest should be taken so seriously.

Norway's entry also seems to be inspired by the song; "Broken Down Angel" by Nazareth. As in; "Jesus of Nazareth."

People may have forgotten that the 2019 Song Contest was won by The Netherlands. Duncan Laurence with the song; "Arcade." Covid certainly stopped him reminding us. With the traditional performance of the previous winner.

Arcade was a reference to Northern Ireland's Protestants. Who have historical links to Dutch Protestants. Specifically how they have their own version of the Roy Orbison song; "Penny Arcade."

This is actually a common practice on both sides of the Northern Ireland conflict. Setting, often highly offensive, alternative lyrics to the tune of well known songs.

A way to engage in sectarian hatred by playing the original version of the song. Without getting arrested for engaging in sectarian hatred.

Obviously something that appeals to the Eurovision Song Contest. With its golden; "No Overt Politics" rule.

The band Nazareth are from Glasgow in Scotland. Which is often a microcosm for the Northern Ireland conflict.

The song Broken Down Angel seems to share certain musical similarities. With the widely recorded Catholic song; "Fields of Athenry."

Due to that song. "Botany Bay" has become my affectionate nickname for Twitter's head of European and Middle-Eastern operations.

As in the prison port in South Australia. Where convicts can expect to be sent.
