| There have been quite a few eurovision songs, and they often have multiple sections and unique instrumentations, but what would the proggiest of them all be? Looking forward to all of your answers |

The proggiest song, in my opinion, is "Ramonda" by Teya Dora. This Serbian singer, who graduated from the Berklee College of Music in Boston and who, according to Wikipedia, received her diploma during the ceremony from Jimmy Page, gave an enthralling and emotionally charged performance that may be summed up as a wonderful event that emphasised her talent, creativity, and passion for music. "Ramonda" sounds proggy to me in addition to being intriguing and motivating. |

I haven't wasted any time on it. I happened to hear two half songs while zapping and it has been more than enough. I don't even know which nation they were from. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

It's a nice ballad, beyond the lenguage barrier, I don't find it innovative or experimental and/or proggy in any way. Nice pop song though. ------------- Long live Progresive music! |

I mean, in the context of music genres, progressive pop is a subgenre that blends elements of traditional pop music with innovative and experimental approaches. It often incorporates complex song structures, unconventional time signatures, and diverse instrumentation beyond typical pop conventions. Teya Dora's "Ramonda" exhibits characteristics of progressive pop through its unique sound, unconventional arrangements, and experimental production techniques. The song may feature intricate melodies, non-traditional chord progressions, or unexpected shifts in tempo or style that align with the progressive nature of the genre. Progressive pop aims to push boundaries and challenge traditional norms within the pop music landscape. Artists within this genre often strive to create music that is both commercially appealing and artistically ambitious, combining accessibility with creativity. "Ramonda" by Teya Dora likely showcases these qualities through its innovative approach to songwriting, production, and performance that sets it apart from conventional pop songs.

This is the one I have heard that I most related to music under the Prog umbrella. The Shin & Mariko - Three Minutes To Earth (Georgia) 2014 Eurovision Song Contest ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me. |

If there is one way of looking for prog in the wrong place, that would be it. -------------

idk I found Unicorn by Noa Kirel last year to have some pretty progressive moments in the final third of the song. Greece's entry this year was fairly progressive as well.

By the way, the Irish entry was splendid this year. Bambie Thug's "Doomsday Blue" is a genre-defying track that combines elements of electro-metal breakdown with alternative rock, pop, jazz, and soulful music styles. It stands out for its innovative music style, thought-provoking lyrics, and visually striking performance, all of which contribute to its unique artistic expression. |

I agree as a Turk.  BTW, I like Greek culture and I have a very good Greek friend. Su perhaps my "Turkishdom" is insignificant here. My favourite off the Eurovision 2024 was Austria. And they could only beat 1 (one) country out of the 24. "Crown the Witch" was very interesting. And I'm a metal head. Normally one would expect it to be my favourite. Yet, it somehow didn't click with me. Last year... My favourite was Australia. Voyager had already been one of my favourite bands. So, no surprises here. |

I browsed quickly through most of the competing songs in this Eurovision Scream Contest and listened to five or six in full. In my opinion, the best scream (a real and intended one, not one that pretends it should still be called "singing") and the most creative song - and the only original, actually - was Ireland's Doomsday Blue by Bambie Thug. The rest was the formulaic pop drivel that will never be remembered by anyone... ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |
