Romania’s Eurovision song criticised for ‘glamorising sexual strangulation’
AI Summary
Romania's Eurovision entry, "Choke Me" by Alexandra Căpitănescu, is facing criticism for lyrics that appear to glamorize sexual strangulation. The song, which repeats "choke me" multiple times, is accused by campaigners and experts of normalizing a dangerous practice that can lead to brain injury and death. Concerns have been raised about the song's potential impact on young women, with calls for disqualification or lyric modification circulating online. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has previously intervened in Eurovision entries with controversial lyrics, but the BBC has not lodged a complaint against the Romanian song. Căpitănescu defends the song, stating the lyrics are a metaphor for feeling overwhelmed by strong emotions.
