The small city of Millstreet, Ireland, was the host for this year's Eurovision Song Contest. 1993 was the first year to feature a pre-qualifying heat for Eastern European countries. In the run-up to the contest, the European Broadcasting Union started to take into account how many potential countries would apply to enter the contest. The dissolution of the Eastern bloc and the disintegration of Yugoslavia created many new potential applicants. Because of that, seven countries from Eastern Europe had to participate in a preliminary heat called Kvalifikacija za Millstreet in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on the 3rd of April, in order to go to the final night of the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest. Bosnia & Herzegovina, Slovenia and Croatia made it through the preliminary heat and made their debut in the song contest as independent nations. Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Estonia had to wait till the following year to be eligible to enter Europe's biggest musical event.
Ireland had their second victory in a row with the song In Your Eyes performed by Niamh Kavanagh who shot to fame due to the original soundtrack to the movie The Commitments. After a nailbiting finish, Niamh managed to keep the entry from the United Kingdom second with the very last vote. The UK entry Better The Devil You Know by Sonia was seen by many as the favorite to win, as Sonia had had some international hits with the legendary producers Stock, Aitken and Waterman.
The venue for the 1993 contest was very unusual - it was a hall normally used for horse auctions in the tiny town of Millstreet, near Cork. The contestants complained they were in the middle of nowhere with not a pub in sight. However, the Irish audience made up for this inconvenience as they enthusiastically welcomed all participating nations and also gave a special warm reception for the entry from Bosnia & Herzegovina - a country in a state of war in 1993.

Arvingarna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vi har sett och vi känner till hans karaktär I varenda såpa
Och han tror att han kan göra karriär fast han är en sopa.
Vill vara tuff och skapa intriger, kör med en bluff när temperaturen stiger.
Han vill va en superstar, få ett VIP-kort till nån kändisbar.
Göra vad som helst för att få rubriker.
Tycker själv att han är bäst, hänger gärna med på efterfest.
Han gör allt för att va me I Se & Hör, de e sjyssta grejer
Och berättar hur man gör när man förför några unga tjejer.
Vill vara tuff och skapa intriger, kör med en bluff när temperaturen stiger.
Han vill va en superstar, få ett VIP-kort till nån kändisbar.
Göra vad som helst för att få rubriker.
Tycker själv att han är bäst, hänger gärna med på efterfest.
Vara med I TV3, va e de för vits me de, när man e bortglömd om en månad
The lyrics of Arvingarna's "Superstar" portray a common desire in today's society: the aspiration for fame and success at any cost. The song tells the story of a person who is desperate to become a superstar, even if it means resorting to lies, deceit, and scandalous behavior. The musician highlights the idea that the person believes that they have already achieved their goal of fame, but in reality, they are nothing more than a nobody.
The individual in question has watched every soap opera and believes that he or she has what it takes to make it big in the entertainment industry. However, the songwriter paints a picture of a person who is nothing more than a "sopa," or a fool, who resorts to trickery when things heat up.
The pursuit of fame is a central theme in the song. The person in question is willing to do anything and everything to achieve it, from hanging out with celebrities at VIP parties to doing whatever it takes to grab headlines. The song suggests that the person in question is truly a sad figure, who is desperate for attention and validation from others. Ultimately, the lyrics of "Superstar" offer a cautionary tale about the emptiness of a life spent chasing fame, particularly when that quest involves lacking integrity or authenticity.
