Who is the woman who “buttered” at the head of the Portuguese delegation at Eurovision?

The Eurovision final brought together more than 26 countries this Sunday in Liverpool in the fight for what is known as the biggest music festival in Europe. A great show was expected, but the climax of the evening turned out to be completely unusual.

Mel Giedroyc caused chaos on the Internet after she appeared at the head of a Portuguese delegation dressed as a Polish milkmaid. With “spicy”, “sexualized” movements and always “with a meaningful look at the cameras”, no one managed to remain indifferent to the British comedian and presenter.

Mel Gedroits’ association with the festival is not new, as she has already hosted the semi-finals in the United Kingdom in previous years. This year he was in charge of commentary alongside host Graham Norton, but at the most unexpected moment he was in front of the cameras.

To the British press, the moment was “absolutely crazy and incredibly hilarious”, indicating that “when it comes to humour, no one beats the UK”. The opinion of hundreds of Internet users who say: “I haven’t laughed so much in a long time”, “I thought it was impossible to love Mel more”, “she doesn’t even need to say a word.” be great”, “the one who will give her an Oscar”.

But what did this moment have to do with Portugal? Absolutely nothing. To Eurovision fans, Mel Giedroyts remembered the performance from Poland in 2014, where the song was My Slav Donatan and Cleo.

The obvious problem is that not everyone seemed to get the “joke”. Newspaper World had a different reading of the “humorous moment”, and, in an opinion text signed by Esther Musientes, the author begins by saying that the Eurovision final was “one of the most boring in memory” with “very few anecdotes”.

He listed several caricature moments, but the “pornographic” one was the highlight. “The great moment of the dancers’ performance in Portugal deserves every credit for delivering the festive erotic anecdote of the Eurovision 2023 final. Well, whoever says festive erotica says porn. Yes, gentlemen, pornography,” one can read in the text published in the newspaper.

“In several of the images the BBC took of each country, each time it focused on Portugal, there was a dancer whipping butter. Whipping butter or playing zambomba, if you see it and if you want nothing erotic, festive, but if you add the faces and gestures of the protagonist, then yes. Let’s not be rude.”

As a result, the publication was “not liked” by Mimikat’s entourage, who were ultimately “dissatisfied” with the Spanish newspaper.
