Beloved singer Johnny Logan, known as the most successful Eurovision artist of all time, made a highly anticipated return to the Eurovision stage in this year's competition. As a special guest, he performed a stunning cover of Loreen's "Euphoria" during the first semi-final, leaving viewers in awe. Fans were so impressed that they are now calling for the 80s music icon to make a proper comeback and compete again in the near future.
It's no surprise that Johnny Logan wowed the audience with his performance, as he has won the Eurovision Song Contest twice - in 1980 with "What's Another Year" and in 1987 with "Hold Me Now." He has also composed two winning songs for Ireland's Linda Martin - "Terminal 3" in 1984 and "Why Me" in 1992. This added to his overall success at Eurovision and solidified his status as a legend in the competition.
In his special performance, Johnny Logan paid tribute to another two-time Eurovision winner, Loreen, who won for Sweden in 2012 and 2013. Ahead of the first semi-final, the acclaimed singer shared his excitement at being invited to perform as a guest, stating that it was an honor to represent Ireland one final time.
Fans took to social media to express their love for Johnny Logan's performance, with many calling for him to compete in Eurovision once again. Some even joked that his performance could break the "curse" that Ireland has faced in recent years at the competition. With the 70th birthday of Johnny Logan approaching, fans are hoping to see him represent Ireland and potentially secure another win.
In addition to Johnny Logan's special performance, the 2024 Eurovision semi-finals and grand finale have been filled with drama, memes, and iconic moments. Eurovision fans can stay up to date on all the latest happenings by joining Metro's Eurovision community on WhatsApp. They can also participate in polls and share their reactions to each act as the competition gets closer to crowning the winner.
In a twist of fate, Ireland's entry Bambie Thug has made it through to the grand finale, coincidentally taking place in Malmö, just like in 1992 when Linda Martin won with Johnny Logan's song. With Bambie Thug already a fan favorite, many are wondering if they will follow in Johnny Logan's footsteps and secure the victory for Ireland.
