Something sexual provocation is part of the ESC like the salt in the soup. What is part of the aesthetic game with the eyes of the audience in pop business for many singers should not be missing from the greatest music event in Europe.
But before the competition starts in Basel, it is better to take a closer look. After Malta already noticed that the song “Kant” had to be conducted with another title (because it is speaking too much towards an English vulgar concept for the female genital organ), there are now also wishes for Erika Vikman.
The Finnin will compete with the song “I come” – and the title is quite a program here. In the song it says (translated): “You are really beautiful, God of the trance/ just make yourself comfortable, do what you want/ and when you come, I come too.”
Erika Vikman: ESC outfit must not be too sexy
Rather, the European Radio Union (EBU) has something to complain about the singer’s outfit, which is a little too sexy for her circumstances. At least in the official video for “I come”, where Vikman can be seen in a paint and leather outfit.
The musician wrote on X: “The EBU said it was a bit too sexual. You want to cover my butt. We have to adhere to your rules and change my outfit. “
Some users make fun of the decision on the net. Some are also outraged with a view to other daring items of clothing that have been used at the ESC in the past and more than more cover.
Yle, the public service broadcaster of Finland, said that although there were discussions with the EBU, no direct claims had been made.
A challenge for the Finn
Erika Vikman also polarizes in her homeland Finland, where she won the preliminary decision for the ESC. “Half Finland hates me, half Finland loves me,” said the 32-year-old last. “In the beginning I was difficult for her (the Finns, editor’s note). That’s still the case, even though some people got used to it. “
The final of the Eurovision Song Contest will take place on May 17th in Basel after Nemo won with his song “The Code” last year. On May 13, 2025, the 1st semi -finals will take place and the 2nd semi -finals will take place on May 15, 2025. Germany is automatically qualified for the final round. The pair of siblings Abor & Tynna coming from Austria competes with her German -language song “Baller”. When it comes to the bookmakers, Germany only has outsiders.
