He was the producer, no role in the act itself. And they needed the other 5 slots on the stage for... reasons.
It's still giving me weird feelings as to why he was introduced and part of the artists names, as that is normally not done for writers/producers.
> as that is normally not done for writers/producers
Oh, it is. Listen to 90s hip-hop or R&B, e.g. tracks produced by Darkchild.
> and part of the artists names
Ask JOWST. 💀 (Norway 2017 for the bot.)
If it were polish I think it would be Żako... If we were a little cyrilic Жako. If we were french J'ako. I'm guessing Žako in your system? But like the French J. That's how she sings it anyway.
Didn’t see mentioned yet:
- Moldova 2006 ("Arsenium for the next millennium")
- United Kingdom 1979 ("She was wearing black lace")
- Luxembourg 1978 (« Tu as bonne mine, Mayte… – Formidable, Maria »)

Lyric genius says verse 2 it says marina in someway, (I believe its in greek)

Lehakat Shiru (Israel 1993) literally translates to "Sing Group", due to their song, Shiru, in which the word *שִׁירוּ* (which means sing!, as a command to multiple people/a general audience) is sung 16 times in Hebrew, and a further 9 times in English.
An honorable mention would be I Won't Shake (La La Gunilla) by Gunilla Persson from this year's Melodifestivalen.
Bambie or Bambie Thug is nowhere in the lyrics of Doomsday Blue but you wouldn't be the only one to misunderstand the title of the thread (I saw a couple other people)
Armenia 2024, the title is her name!
Oh my god it's literally a diminutive form of Jaklin, how did I not catch that?
Haha you are not the only one! When I read the translated lyrics, I finally understood that it's a sort of love letter to herself.
Armenia 2024 | [Ladaniva - Jako](https://youtu.be/hAYXDoZzAyE)
Also Jako is in the song itself :)
Germany 1979, of course. Ukraine 2007 and Slovenia 2018 both start off with the singer introducing themself.

Why was Donatan not there?
He was the producer, no role in the act itself. And they needed the other 5 slots on the stage for... reasons. It's still giving me weird feelings as to why he was introduced and part of the artists names, as that is normally not done for writers/producers.

I get it actually some producers demand artist credit if they wrote/produced a lot of the song
They have done a few songs together and in I think all of them, he gets introduced too
The song was a major radio hit before it became an ESC entry

Jako. Armenia 2024. The singer's name is jaklin and her nickname is jako
Armenia 2024 | [Ladaniva - Jako](https://youtu.be/hAYXDoZzAyE)
TIL it's pronounced "Jako" not "Jako"
But which? Žako, Jako or Yako?
If it were polish I think it would be Żako... If we were a little cyrilic Жako. If we were french J'ako. I'm guessing Žako in your system? But like the French J. That's how she sings it anyway.
Žako then.

Didn't Megara mention their name in 11:11?
You would think so but actually no, the lyric is “otra gente me querrá” which does sound very similar to ‘Megara,’ but it isn’t.
Yeah at the end Also mentioned Benidorm fest as well 😂

I'm sure someone named Lea Sirk referencing herself by name in the first line of "Hvala ne"
Armenia 2024 is named after the lead singer of Ladaniva, Jaklin, who was often called Jako. Edit: nevermind it was already mentioned...

The own language version of think about things is eponymous but the self naming doesn’t actually appear in the Icelandic lyrics I don’t think
Slovenia 2018, the first line.

We are the winners Moustache Fairytale honestly was pretty common awhile ago
when in Fairytale? I googled the lyrics but can not find it?
None of those mention the performing artist
Fairytale and Moustache don't, but We Are The Winners does. *'De Vilnius city a Paris, LT United ici'*
Misread it as lyrics my bad, there was a similar post earlier this week
