The € Song Contest is a taste for long stretches border experience. Offers nothing in the face of its more than a look back at the history of the competition, considered in the particular case as pop culture camp event. Camp is to be understood as a aesthetics of exaggeration, the (at best!) In the Location is conventional notions of gender and sexuality to subvert. There are in the history of Grand Prix € vision de la Chanson surprisingly many examples like these - is to show selection - admittedly entirely subjective.
The Rainbow Network also dealt with the Camp Euro Vision Song Contest and came with a slightly different question from that list significantly different results .
10th
Herreys - Diggi-loo Diggi-ley
Sweden
Finale 1984, No. 1
golden shoes, high-ranking collar, Föhnfrisur and (almost unbearable) happiness. 1984 filed for the victory - in this case it just enough for 10th place
course 9
Paul Oscar - Minn hinsti dans
Iceland
Finale 1997, No. 2
An initially motionless singers and several apparent dead dancers in leather / latex outfits are beginning to awaken to life. In the center is a white leather couch. For the living body of the Song Contest, the audience is not unusual - for a performance on stage at the selfsame already.
8th place
Svetlana Loboda - Be My Valentine! (Anti-crisis Girl)
Ukraine
Finale 2009, No. 12 video
Almost naked muscular men with metallic sparse remains of Roman uniforms. The singer can be neatly through the air swirl, sits during a break singing to the drums and promises in the global financial crisis: "Baby, I can save your world, I'm your girl anti-crisis".
7th place
ABBA - Waterloo
Sweden
Finale 1974, No. 1
It's not very creative, ABBA in a "Best of include "list with regard to the euro vision song contest. When the show is from 1974 but it really is an aesthetic and musical break with previous precedent and we must - especially when it comes to camp - to be appreciated. Napoleon as a conductor, a silver glittering star-shaped guitar and the legendary ABBA costumes with eye cancer warranty. The text is one exaggeration.
place 6
Lulu - Boom bang-a-bang
UK
Finale 1969, No. 1 premise
This must be said that we We are in 1969. Since only two years of the competition is transmitted in color, the limits of possibility were still very tight. Lulu's performance is like a sugar and honey existing dessert, decorated with marzipan and pink frosting was. Even more clearly than in the (then) controversial appearance by Sandie Shaw in 1967 drifting the exaggerated, doll-like femininity in phases from the parody. Therefore - somehow out of competition - a place in the top 10 A place which would have also to Sandie Shaw could go to the color television would have prevailed in 1967.
Place 5
Sestre - Samo Ljubez
Slovenia
Finale 2002, 13th place
three transvestites check in as stewardesses on Camp Airways. White cotton gloves, red patent leather shoes, white socks, three red dresses, each with a kilo glitter and three background singers in white plane captain's gala uniforms. For 2002, somehow very conventional, if one considers that in previous years, all things were possible.
place 4
Dima Bilan - Believe
Russia
Finale 2008, 1st place
2008 was a great year for the Camp Euro Vision Song Contest . With a violin, a lot of emotion and a figure skater (!) On the stage won Dima Bilan the competition for Russia.
3rd place
Sébastien Tellier - Divine
France Final 2008, 19th place
The singer is driving a golf car on the stage. He has a kind of Globe beach ball with it, which is filled with helium. The same, he will inhale during the performance. The highlight of the performance is 5 seconds of silence followed by a devotional eclipse. Last but not least: He is accompanied by background singers with a full beard - so far unique in the history of € Vision Song Contest .
No. 2
Silvia Night - Congratulations
Iceland
semi-final 2006, 13th
equal booed loudly at the start. The dancers have either phallic symbols or animal masks on their faces. On stage there is a converted to a giant slide shoe and two oversized candy canes. There is tinsel-shower's also, like a telephone conversation with God. Towards the end of the gentlemen let unexpected down his pants. After it is all over again loud boos.
Platz 1
Verka Serduchka - Dancing Lasha Tumbai
Ukraine
Final 2007, 2nd place
Various fantasy in sparkling uniforms, shiny silver and no less glittering gold. If someone asks what does the text: the text really means nothing. For stage ban in Putin's Russia, there was enough anyway.
