Eurovision (Un)Official - The AI Parody Project

Arts EN ↓ 6 episodes

What happens when Eurovision, cultural stereotypes, and artificial intelligence collide? Eurovision (Un)Official is a tongue-in-cheek parody project reimagining the world’s most gloriously chaotic song contest — one country at a time. Each episode features an AI-generated “Eurovision entry”, inspired by national clichés, traditional instruments, modern pop trends, and the over-the-top drama the contest is famous for. Expect dramatic key changes, questionable lyrics, suspiciously catchy choruses, and performances that would definitely divide the jury and the public vote. Created as a creative e...

Episode 6: No One Asked, But Here We Are 31.03.2026

The final episode. And honestly, it's gone a bit off the rails. We start in Armenia with a pop-folk duet that earns its place. France shows up, sings entirely in French, and leaves before anyone can argue. Australia brings a didgeridoo to a European song contest. Greenland — population sixty thousand — refuses to leave the stage. The UK knows it's going to lose and has made peace with that. And th...

Episode 5: Somewhere After Midnight 26.03.2026

Episode 5 starts in the cold. The Faroe Islands. Finland. Iceland. Three entries from the frozen edges of Europe, where the wind does the singing and the silence does the rest. Then midnight arrives — Latvia and Lithuania, two countries standing in the dark with their hands in their pockets, saying everything without raising their voice. Then Malta walks in somewhere after midnight, and the temper...

Episode 4: The Ones Who Mean It 21.03.2026

Episode 4 doesn't need to prove anything. After the spectacle, the volume, and the pressure — this one sits down. Seven countries that didn't come to win a contest. They came to be heard. Featuring AI-generated parody entries inspired by Cyprus, Moldova, Croatia, Slovenia, Romania, Turkey, and Estonia, this episode trades pyrotechnics for pride. No key changes thrown like grenades. No glitter cann...

Episode 3: Maybe a Little Too Much Volume 20.02.2026

After two episodes of spectacle and cultural volume, this one pulls back — not because we've run out of chaos, but because what comes next needs a run-up. Featuring AI-generated parody entries inspired by Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Greece, Norway, and Austria, this episode builds from grounded folk and cinematic tension into something that earns its release. There's restraint. There's pressure...

Episode 2: Cultural Volume Turned All the Way Up 22.01.2026

In Episode 2 of Eurovision (Un)Official, we turn the cultural volume knob firmly clockwise. This episode leans into national shorthand, amplified tropes, and the joyful excess that Eurovision does better than anyone else. Featuring AI-generated parody entries inspired by Spain, the Netherlands, Gibraltar, Denmark, Ireland, Poland, and Portugal, these tracks embrace flags, clichés, regional flair,...

Episode 1: Welcome to the Contest That Never Was 21.01.2026

In this episode of Eurovision (Un)Official, we explain what this is — mostly so we don’t have to again. Featuring AI-generated Eurovision parody entries inspired by Albania, Germany, Georgia, Italy, San Marino, Sweden, and Ukraine, this episode blends traditional instruments, dramatic vocals, and modern pop production — with just enough chaos to guarantee jury confusion. Along the way, I'll pop in...
