The song sung by Lynda Woodruff can be watched in the Grand Final live recording from 1:13:45. This is in the break after competitor #13 (UK).
A still image from the Motivational Video No. 751 which was shown on Schmalfilmtage Dresden 2023 and 2024 can be viewed here.
A list of similarities follows:
- Rap style, at least partially
- Heterosexual orientation
- Presentation of a particular concern - on the one hand a pretty specific job profile linked to the main person shown in the video, on the other hand adoration of a particular person by the main person shown in the video
- Big logo of an organisation in the picture: see descriptive arrow to the "Arbeitsagentur" emblem vs. European Broadcasting Union abbreviation in the collage picture below
- Huge glasses
- Office/Business context. Accordingly immaculate neutral clothing
- Anyway slinky elements, e.g. make-up
- Additionally exaggerated big attire as belt ring or necklace
- Neglection of facts and nuances, e. g. on the one hand the missing of any causality of the entry into a job to drive a power trowel towards subsequent wealth and popularity under the friends. On the other hand the generalizing claim that the ESC or the world were (widely) homosexual
- The motivational mood is bigger in the motivational video but also present in "You're good to go", specially in the call to count the votes
- Number of persons in the picture
Here's a comparative picture of the both music videos:
My first thought was that both videos have an intersecting creatorship. It is possible as well that rap iconographics generally raise similar impressions, like the offers in kebap takeaways are very similar in very different locations on the world.
Amendment: In this years' ESC there were decisions to be made which an any case didn't or wouldn't please some guys. This manifested in boos during Martin Österdahls short scenes. "You're good to go" is a nice supporting sign of the ESC team. IMHO this compensates for the, let's say, one-sided heterosexual approach.
