EUROVISION
Chanel Terrero Martínez Is Far From SloMo at Eurovision 2022
A hot favourite going into the final, the Spanish entry turns out to be even hotter on the night
What about the contest?
Energetic, colourful and a little on the crazy side, 2022’s Eurovision came from Turin, after Zitti E Buoni, performed by naughty rockers Måneskin, took the crown for Italy the previous year in Rotterdam.
And you thought that contest was a big deal?
Leading into 2022’s Eurovision there was a certain amount of tittering on the part of the fans following the previous Italian (very chaotic) hosting of the show back in 1991.
Would the 2022 staging dissolve into similar buffoonery and embarrass everyone concerned?
Could it possibly be more baffling and shambolic than the 1991 contest?
Quite the reverse, as it turned out, and for a whole number of very good reasons.
On the night (or nights, including those taken up with the semi-finals) the Italians manage to pull off a Eurovision that is flamboyant, emotional and very, very Italian (in a good way).
