Podcasts about SuRie

Let's break down this story. I belong to those who believe small gods call out to lizards with wings. Who can remember 20 years ago? How do you know those you've forgotten still live? A man told me last night he had died in another lifetime because he jumped off a cliff to keep the Romans from killing him—some kind of religious thing, many, many centuries ago. I told him I'd never experienced a past life. I said all life is one, as far as I was concerned—a continuous roll across the void at home and nothing. He had his story; I had mine. And then Bill Fundaberg's story—Bill died in the East Village during the Aids crisis. Oh, Bill Funderburg, we loved him; he could have been Andy Warhol in another life; he had one of those long-stem cigarette holders that he put his camel in, or his Marlboro or whatever cigarette he smoked. And he walked around staring up the sky, peering into the trees, puffing his cigarette. After he died, that news didn't come back to me for many years. When I last heard the news, it was a long time ago, and somebody told me his teeth were on a shrine in Phuket, Thailand. All praise to the land of the Buddha—the butterflies came—gold wings, Hungry for beauty—nothing boring about butterflies and dreams. And then there are those who wait for buses across the street, from the bar to Marché in Paris, where people lean on walls in the uncertainty of casual time. Oh, hungry, complacency; why do the fairies lie so much? Can you tell me that? Why do the fairies lie so much? How come the first position blesses the robin's eggs before I can break open? She said she hated pink. Oh, my. Bill Funderburg loved pink. I love wizards. At The Bar du Marché, you can do nothing, absolutely nothing. It's okay. Surie waves at the people who go by—serves and drinks‚—waves at them again. I've been going there for years—maybe 40 years. Will I soon disappear? Will I soon find the bus, the bus I've been waiting for for a long, long time? Who will remember me when I'm gone?

German Nenov (Ukraine's Creative Director Eurovision 2023), SuRie (UK 2018), Izzy Uncut (Watch What Happens Live)   On this episode, we explore the technology required to make a spectacle like Eurovision happen-- and we discuss how Eurovision's identity as a technological innovator is connected to its self-identity as an institution meant to stitch Europe back together. We talk with Ukraine's Creative Director for Eurovision 2023, German Nenov, about how the show comes together.   Then we sit down with SuRie, the UK's 2018 Eurovision contestant. Her performance marked one of the times that the machinery of Eurovision stopped-- as a man rushed the stage nearly interrupting her performance. We talk with SuRie about how she kept the performance on track, and also what it's like for an artist to try and translate their work to the needs of the Eurovision stage.   Finally, New York's premiere stunt queen, Izzy Uncut, drops by to evaluate spectacle at Eurovision. We talk about some of Eurovisions most iconic moments of athleticism and surprise in a game we're calling "Cooter Smash or Cooter Pass."   SuRie, Storm, 2018 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dmlXBBC6J8   Cooter Smash or Cooter Pass: 1.

In Platformization and Informality: Pathways of Change, Alteration, and Transformation (Palgrave MacMillan, 2023), scholars from Mumbai, Bengaluru, Jakarta, Cape Town, Sao Paulo and other cities of the global South explore the complex relationship between platformization and informality through a different lens. Drawing on extensive theoretical, quantitative and qualitative scholarship, they provide both a useful overview and insights into the lived realities of gig work for platforms covering a range of skills, working conditions, and forms of algorithmic management. Platform work has attracted considerable attention from scholars in the global North, who have tended to view it as a form of casualisation of work that was previously regulated. But what about the global South, where most employment, especially that of women and migrant workers was historically already informal? Beyond a focus on livelihoods, employment, and work, the authors show how labour platforms take on powers that bring about broader impacts, including those affecting identity and personal wellbeing. They also illustrate the impact of platformization on the governance of affected sectors by public agencies, thus affecting political power, and how public data infrastructures contribute to further platformization. The purpose of this pioneering work is to lay bare these interactions to then rebuild our understanding of platformization and its social, political, cultural and economic impacts. Its insights are attentive to gender and ethnic differences, as well as geographical ones. Learn more about your ad choices.

SuRie ist bereits das zweite Mal in unserem Podcast zu Gast. Wir sprachen mit ihr bereits Anfang 2020 über ihren legendären Auftritt beim Eurovision Song Contest mit Storm - samt Stage Invasion. Anfang 2023 trafen wir sie bei der OGAE-Eurovision Live Party in Wien, um über ihre aktuellen Projekte und Songs zu sprechen. Über die Stage Invasion in Lissabon haben wir ausgiebig mit ihr in der Episode #02.02 gesprochen. Zeit, den Blick auf die aktuellen Projekte zu richten. Mittlerweile hat SuRie auch für sich  neue Wege entdecken können: So hat sie am Lavender Theatre im Musical "Annie Get Your Gun" brilliert. Im Mai veröffentlichte sie ihr Album "Building A Woman".Im Interview erzählt sie, wie es ihr während Pandemie ging. Sie nutzte die Gelegenheit, sich eine Auszeit zu gönnen, an ihrem Album zu schreiben. Aber, wie bei vielen Künstlerinnen und Künstlern, der Wunsch zurück auf die Bühne zu kommen, war bald wieder sehr groß. Vor der Veröffentlichung ihres Albums im Mai hat sie in Ende 2022 und Anfang 2023 noch einige Coverversionen veröffentlicht. Besonders angetan hat es ihr die ikonische Rock-Nummer "Because The Night" von Patti Smith, sie hatte großen Spaß daran, andere Facetten des Songs heraus zu arbeiten.Die Fragen am Schluss: Noch auf der Playlist vom Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin ist Maro aus Portugal mit "Saudade, Saudade". Ihr Lieblingssong aller Zeit ist (im Moment) ist der norwegische Gewinnersong aus dem Jahr 1995: "Nocturne" von Secret Garden.In der Kleinen Sog Contest Geschichte am Schluss erzählt Alkis von ungewöhnlichen Szenen, die manch eine Sendeanstalt selbst 2018 nicht zeigen wollte. 

En el programa de esta semana hablamos con Theodor Andrei, representante de Rumanía en Eurovisión 2023. Además, descubrimos que debut de un país en Eurovisión eres según tu signo en EuroAustrology, conocemos más a Beth Rodergas, representante de España en Eurovisión 2003 en EuroSinger, escuchamos el sonido más nuevo de SuRie, representante de Reino Unido en Eurovisión 2018 en EuroEstreno, repasamos la actualidad de Eurovisión y lo que fue la BCN Eurovision Party y las últimas noticias de la PrePartyES de Madrid en EuroActualidad, desvelamos el Nº1 de la ESCchart con Hugo Carabaña sustituyendo a Érika Ferraro y conocemos vuestra ganadora de la Song Battle. Podcast con la colaboración de: ESCplus España La escaleta del programa: - 00:00 Introducción - 04:27 EuroEstreno: When it all goes quiet - SuRie - 13:19 EuroActualidad - 19:56 EuroSinger: Beth - 30:55 EuroAstrology: ¿Qué debut en Eurovisión eres según tu signo? - 37:46 ESCchart - 42:57 Entrevista con Theodor Andrei - 52:28 Song Battle - 55:57 Despedida

Beim deutschen Vorentscheid "Unser Lied für Liverpool" wurden Lord of the Lost mit "Blood & Glitter" zu jener Band gewählt, die Deutschland beim Eurovision Song Contest vertreten wird. Mit dabei waren für 'Merci, Chérie'-Hörer auch einige bekannte Gesichter - oder vielmehr Stimmen: Gjon's Tears, SuRie, Cesár Sampson und Malik Harris (und ein paar mehr) waren ja bereits bei uns zu Gast. Teya & SaLena werden Österreich beim Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool mit dem Song "Who The Hell Is Edgar?" vertreten. Alkis und Marco trafen die beiden. Sie verraten wie es zu diesem Song kam, welche Versuche sie bisher starteten um beim Song Contest dabei zu sein, und wie sehr sie den Event lieben.Im Podcast erzählen die beiden, wie SaLena und Teya sich bei Starmania 2021 kennen gelernt haben, wie ihre Erfahrungen bei Castingshows allgemein sind, denn SaLena war ja auch bei The Voice of Germany am Start. Und seit einigen Jahren haben beide Songs in diversen Vorentscheidungen am Start, beide in Österreich und Teya trat auch bei Beovizija 2020 an. Und auch 2023 hatten beide Solo-Projekte am Start. Und ein paar mal hat es fast geklappt. Bei einem Songwriting-Camp arbeiteten die beiden gemeinsam an einem Song für SaLena, es war noch etwas Zeit und bei einer kompositorischen Fingerübung sahen die beiden Potential. "Who the Hell Is Edgar? " erblickte das Licht der Welt. Man kann davon ausgehen, dass Edgar Allan Poe jetzt vermehrt gegoogelt wird.Zukunftspläne als Duo gibt es natürlich noch nicht, sie sehen sich hauptsächlich beide als Solokünstlerinnen, die auch mal zusammen arbeiten werden. Denn als Freundinnen und als Songwriter-Team ist die gegenseitige Unterstützung eine Selbstverständlichkeit.Die traditionellen Fragen am Schluss müssen die beiden natürlich auch beantworten:Vom ESC 2022 ist für SaLena noch "Halo" auf der Playlist für Teya ist es der Beitrag aus Schweden: "Hold Me Closer" von Cornelia Jakobs. Und der Lieblingssong von Teya ist es der serbische Gewinnersong von Marija Šerifović aus dem Jahr 2007 "Molitva", aber auch ABBAs "Waterloo" und "Rhythm Inside" des Belgiers Loïc Nottet aus dem Jahr 2015. Für SaLena ist es Conchitas "Rise Like A Phoenix".In der Kleinen Song Contest Geschichte am Schluss erzählt Alkis von einem Gedicht von Edgar Allan Poe, das von einer Band vertont wurde, die auch was mit dem ESC zu tun hat.

India has been seeking to expand its global influence and has set ambitious goals for itself in this regard. For example, last December, India assumed the presidency of the G20, a group of the world's largest economies that aims to promote international economic cooperation. This has been presented as a significant opportunity for India to showcase its leadership and advance its economic and foreign policy goals on the global stage. India's G20 presidency will also have implications for South Asia. The country's leadership role in the G20 could lead to an increased focus on the region and potentially lead to greater economic integration and cooperation among South Asian countries. Additionally, India's emphasis on the digital economy, climate change, and health could also have spillover effects for the region. But while India looks outward globally, China, in recent years, has been increasing its presence in South Asia through various means, such as infrastructure development and investment. This increasing Chinese presence in its traditional sphere of influence has been a concern for India, and it has been responding with its own set of initiatives of diplomacy, development, and investment initiatives. In this episode, PEI's Nirjan sits with Mandakini Surie to discuss these global ambitions of India, the position it holds in the various Indo-Pacific Strategies to counter the rise of China, and the impact this has on its South Asian Neighbors.

Der lud wiederum Marco ein. Der Alkis hielt das Mikro - und schon ist eine Episode da! Es handelte sich um eine Übung des Instituts für Publizistik der Universität Wien unter der Leitung des Publizisten und Kulturpromotors Wolfgang Lamprecht und diese Übung vom 24.

Bonnie Surie is an insightful and enthusiastic Speaker & Trainer with 7+ years of experience as a Life Coach. She talks with host Jan Jeremias about the importance of loving yourself like you love your pet and manifesting what you need in your life.

Two of this year's Eurovision hopefuls, Cornelia Jakobs and MARO, meet three former contestants - SuRie, Dami Im and KEiiNO's Alexandra Rotan - to discuss how writing music in rooms with strangers is like speed dating, the expectation that fans have of their sound, why there's no formula to win the competition, and the strength in simplicity. Susanna Marie Cork, better known as SuRie, was the 2018 UK entry for the competition. Dance-pop singer-songwriter Alexandra Rotan is a member of the super group KEiiNO, who represented Norway in 2019. Stockholm-based singer-songwriter Cornelia Jakobs is representing Sweden in this year's Eurovision, taking place in Turin, Italy, while MARO is representing Portugal. Korean-Australian pop singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Dami Im came second in the 2016 competition.

Hey friends, welcome to the final episode of my podcast miniseries. The past seven weeks have flown by, and I hope you've enjoyed the conversations we've been having. Thanks for taking a chance on this podcast with me. For the last episode, I wanted to do something really special. Today's guest is the amazing SuRie; she's a singer, songwriter, brilliant performer, wonderful human being, and she also happens to be my sister. I wanted to chat to someone I really trust about the themes of this EP, and the stories behind the lyrics. So this week, SuRie is interviewing me! We cracked open a bottle of wine, sat down on the floor of my bedroom and talked through each track on ‘Secrets I'll Never Tell' in detail. There's also a little surprise at the end of the episode which I hope you'll enjoy. I'm a bit nervous for you to hear this one, but I'm also excited for you to have the full picture of where these songs came from. So I really hope you enjoy this chat and thanks again for joining me for this little mini series of podcasts. It's been really fun to put together.

Und die Möglichkeit, mit viel Verständnis füreinander Brücken zu schlagen.Surie Eckstein erfüllt ihr Leben als Oberhaupt einer Großfamilie.

Plötzlich fühlt sich Surie, in der chassidischen Gemeinde von Brooklyn hochangesehen und ständig von Menschen umgeben, völlig allein. Nicht einmal Yidel, der nicht nur ihre große Liebe, sondern auch ihr bester Freund ist, wagt sie sich anzuvertrauen, so groß ist ihre Scham. Denn was sollen bloß die Leute denken? Zum ersten Mal stellt Surie die starren Regeln infrage, die ihr ganzes Leben geprägt haben.(Quelle: Klappentext)

Linda Ness and Suzie Thorpe meet Professor Christi Deaton, who started her career as a nurse, but who’s now Clinical Professor of Nursing in Cambridge and keen to encourage people into the nursing profession. And we speak to SuRie, famously interrupted by a stage invader while performing in the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest, and who […]

We meet Singer/songwriter SuRie. Her new EP “Rye” was released in May during lockdown and she says this enabled her some moments of distraction and focus but brought some very unusual challenges as well. SuRie represented the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2018 in Lisbon, with her song "Storm". See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Es gibt recht wenige News in der Eurovision-Welt. SuRie, mit der wir ja Ende Jänner beim OGAE Germany-Treff in München gesprochen haben (die Episode #0202 könnt ihr hier nachhören), hat eine neue EP rausgebracht und auf "Rye" ist auch Carl Espens "Silent Storm" in ihrer eigenen und wunderschönen Fassung zu hören. Hat auch mit uns etwas zu tun.Die EBU macht weiter mit ihrem Blick zurück: Unter dem Hashtag #EurovisionAgain werden weiterhin alte Song Contests zu sehen sein. Aktuell ist der Chaos-SongContest aus dem Jahr 1991 aus Rom zu sehen. Sehr sehenswert: einige tolle Songs, eine packende Wertung und viele furchtbare Klamotten.Wir haben Muhamed Mešić im Studio (aka Marcos Wohnzimmer) zu Gast, der im damaligen Jugoslawien 1989 seinen ersten Song Contest schauen durfte. Das Sprachtalent hat auch die Wikipedia-Seite "Languages at Eurovision" gestartet und freut sich immer, wenn eine neue Sprache beim Eurovision Song Contest zu hören ist.Ein weiterer Gast, wenn auch nur zugespielt, ist Nedad Memić. Der Publizist und Kommunikationsberater beleuchtet auch die politischen Wirren, die nach Teilung und dem Krieg auf der Balkanhalbinsel generell und und in Bosnien speziell besonders sichtbar wurden.Muhi spricht von der sich abzeichnenden Teilung, von den kleinen Symbolen, die bereits beim Song Contest 1990, der aus Zagreb kam, sichtbar wurden. Wir reden auch über bosnische Beiträge, die vor der Teilung Jugoslawiens zum Contest geschickt worden, denn Jugoslawien nahm seit 1961 beim Song Contest teil. Und über die frühen Jahre Jugoslawiens haben wir ja auch mit Dean Vuletic in der Episode #0126 von Merci, Chérie gesprochen.Nenad und Muhi erzählen von ihren Eurovision-Erlebnissen während des Krieges zwischen 1993 und 1996, aber auch von dem Schimmer von Normalität- falls es Strom gab. Wir haben außerdem auf Facebook gefragt, welcher der liebste bosnische Beitrag gewesen ist. Und unter allen Beiträgen wurde Dino Merlin (übrigens Komponist des ersten bosnischen Beitrags überhaupt) mit "Love in Rewind".Muhis Lieblingsbeitrag ist "Ostani kraj mene" aus dem Jahr 1994, gesungen Alma & Dejan. Die Übersetzung "Bleib neben mir" war symbolisch, war er doch Serbe und sie Bosnierin.Der von Alkis ist der Beitrag von 2008 (immerhin in Belgrad): Laka mit "Pokušaj"Und Marco liebt noch immer die ultimative Balkanballade, Hari Mata Hari sang "Lejla" 2006 in Athen.Die Standardfragen an Muhi: Sein Lieblingslied aus dem Jahr 2020 kommt aus Island und ist, natürlich, von Daði og Gagnamagnið: "Think About Things". Sein Lieblingsmoment war 2015 in der Wiener Stadthalle, als er laut Aminatas Namen schrie und Luftküsse aus dem offenen Greenroom von der lettischen Delegation bekam. Und sein Lieblingslied aller Zeiten kommt aus Armenien: Artsvik sang 2017 "Fly With Me". In der Kleinen Songcontest Geschichte am Schluss erzählt Marco eine Geschichte über den bosnischen Sänger Seid-Memić Vajta, der 1981 mit einem Lied namens "Lejla" angetreten ist.Wollt ihr auch mit uns die Geschichte(n) eures Herkunftslandes beim Song Contest erzählen und ihr wohnt in Wien/Umgebung? Meldet euch bei Marco (marco@mercicherie.at) oder Alkis (alkis@mercicherie.at)

Noch lassen sich die nationalen Vorentscheide und Titel-Vorstellungen an einer Hand abzählen. Vor allem Sanremo und der australische Vorentscheid standen im Fokus. Italien schickt Diodato mit "Fai rumore" ins Rennen um den Song Contest Sieg. Für Australien reist Montaigne mit "Don't Break Me" nach Rotterdam. Was wir wirklich, wirklich davon halten, werdet ihr wie immer bei unseren Bewertungs-Podcasts "Mercy, Jury" im April erfahren. Wir haben SuRie in München getroffen, als Sie bei der OGAE Germany auftrat. Sie erzählt von ihrer Herkunft aus einer deutsch-jüdischen Familie und ihrem Großvater, die berühmten Biochemiker Hans Leo Kornberg. Den Song, den sie einst für Junior Eurovision einreichte, möchte sie nicht veröffentlichen. 2015 hatte sie ihr Debüt beim Eurovision Song Contest als Background-Sängerin und Tänzern für den belgischen Beitrag von Loïc Nottet ("Rhythm Inside") und 2017 war sie musikalische Leiterin des belgischen Beitrags von Blanche ("City Lights"). 2018 trat sie dann in Lissabon für das Vereinigte Königreich an. Ihr Song "Storm" wurde von einem Demonstranten unterbrochen, der ihr das Mikrofon wegnahm und ihren Auftritt störte. Hier sieht man ihren Auftritt bei der Jury-Show, denn der Finalauftritt wird von der EBU nicht verwendet, um Nachahmer*innen zu verhindern. Die BBC zeigt den Auftritt samt Flitzer hier, und hier eine Analyse mit offiziellen Aufnahmen und Fan-Kameras aus der Arena. Auf einen dieser Aufnahmen sieht man, wie das Mikrofon fällt und SuRie plötzlich bemerkt, dass das Mikro vor ihr liegt, aufhebt, und sie weitersingt mit den Worten "Hey brother, don't give up". Sie wurde dann leider nur 24. Beim Clubtreffen der OGAE Germany bewies sie, dass sie eine umwerfende und noch völlig unterschätzte Performerin und Musikerin ist. Die drei berüchtigten Merci, Chérie-Fragen beantwortet sie wie folgt: Vom ESC 2019 noch immer auf ihrer Playlist: Duncan Laurence - Arcade Anekdote, an die sie sich erinnert hat mit Timoshka, dem Hund von Julia Samoylova (Russland 2018) zu tun. Den Hund sieht man in diesem Video von Wiwibloggs. Ihr Lieblingslied aller Zeiten: Carl Espen - Silent Storm (Norway 2014), das sie dann auch ganz spontan in München auf der Bühne zum Besten gab. In der kleinen Song Contest Geschichte am Schluss erzählt Marco von den Stage Invasions beim Eurovision Song Contest. SuRies Auftritt ist bereits verlinkt. Aber wann waren die anderen drei Stage Invasions und wen traf es? In Kiew 2017 wurde Vorjahressiegern Jamala beim Finale des Eurovision Song Contest Opfer eines Streakers. Während sie ihren neuen Titel präsentierte, präsentierte der Invader sein blankes Hinterteil. In Oslo 2010 sprang ein professioneller Störer auf die Bühne, als der spanische Sänger Daniel Diges seine kleine Zirkusperformance gab. Er durfte am Ende des Bewerbs noch einmal performen, diesmal ungestört. Die allererste Stage Invasion beim Song Contest fand bereits 1964 in Kopenhagen statt. Sowohl Spanien als auch Portugal nahmen erst frisch beim Song Contest teil, beide Länder waren aber autokratisch regierte Militärdiktaturen. Der Protester forderte auf, die Länder der iberischen Halbinsel zu boykottieren. Es ist der einzige Song Contest, neben dem allerersten von 1956, von dem es keine Aufzeichnung mehr gibt. Aber es gibt ein Bild.

While she may not have scored many points, the British entry to the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest will be forever remembered as the singer who was interrupted half way through ... Read More The post Unwelcome interruptions appeared first on Turn the Page.

Pre-competition favourite Netta Barzilai won the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest for Israel on Saturday with her song Toy.Barzilai beat out competition from 42 other countries' performers to claim the music extravaganza's annual crown at the Grand Final in Lisbon, Portugal.There was a strong field of contestants at this year's event, and the Israeli entry topped close competition from Cyprus, Austria, Sweden and Germany.Barzilai racked up 529 points, compared with 436 for runner-up Cyprus and 342 for third-place Austria.The contest largely shed its traditional hallmarks of glitz and glitter in favour of a more restrained and tasteful tone in Lisbon, which was hosting the event because it won last year with Salvador Sobral's sober and subdued ballad Amar pelos Dois.Sobral last week criticized Toy as "horrible music." But Barzilai was unrepentant with her popular techno dance beat about women's empowerment.Her win — Israel's fourth and first since 1998 — means her country hosts next year's Eurovision Song Contest, which is watched by some 200 million people."Next time in Jerusalem!" Barzilai shouted to the audience as she picked up her award. "I'm happy people chose something different. It's refreshing," she said.The international contest began as a competition between European countries, but its huge popularity has led to the inclusion of Israel and Australia among the performers.Barzilai, known more usually as Netta, is a sassy woman with a witty on-stage personality. Before the Grand Final, her song had already racked up more than 20 million views on Eurovision's YouTube channel.In Toy, Netta makes funny noises, including a clucking sound like a chicken and barely decipherable words, and uses a looping machine and synthesizer.The lyrics say, "I'm not your toy, You stupid boy, I'll take you down."Despite hosting the event, Portugal came last, with 39 points.The event was not without its controversy.Shockwaves were felt around the world when a protester ran onto the stage and snatched away the microphone of the United Kingdom's contestant SuRie.The man got hold of the microphone but was quickly tackled by security and taken away while SuRie stood by.The British singer kept her composure and picked up her song where she left off, earning her praise from many viewers, including Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.The biggest shock came from the public votes, when Australia received the lowest score with just nine points. The announcement of the scores caused the stadium to erupt with boos. The event is organized by the European Broadcasting Union, an alliance of public service broadcasters.
