Well.. I never thought i would get so hyper about Eurovision in JANUARY but yeah i have, It's months away but ALL countries are taking it a little bit more serious this year. So i thought i would make a thread about it.. Now because their is not much news at the moment i thought i will share with you Turkey's confirmed song with you.. Here is Turkey's Entry

Hadise - Düm Tek Tek

She has been called the turkish verson of Mariah Carey LOL!

Where's the chorus... LOL?

[Loukas]

NO IDEA LOL!!! It's an ok, but its the same kinda beat every year!!

[Spike]

Not sure on the Turkish song, very different for them. I think its a grower though. Well at least its better than what the UK will do with our hopefulls

You really hate this country don't you?

And on a more serious note; you cannot say that having not heard what we're sending yet.

Well yeah, i'm not the biggest lover of this country
The song could be brilliant but with the quality of the 4 acts still in with a chance of representing us I fail to see how we could have any chance of doing well.

I always get really geeky about this competition, and I tend to be more interested in the stage, and the branding of the whole thing.

Like, Helsinki 2007 had the best looking show EVER! The style with the pink/yellow/blue circles etc. It looked soo modern and stylish:

Youtube video

Yeh, its geeky to be interested in all that but I do graphics in school so there!

But anyway, last year it all looked really bad with the navy blue and red. I hope Russia has nice branding =]

Does anybody else like seeing the Televoting more than the actual songs being performed? I love it when they go to each country, 'xciting!

[Loukas]

Never know Spike.. Good Luck to The UK.

Also Confirmed this year Greece's Sakis Rouvas will represent Greece.

Sakis sung Shake It back in 2004 and came 3rd. Lets remind ourselves of that video...

Youtube video

Sakis's song is yet to be confirmed.

[Ross]

I always love Ukraine, Malta and Latvia. They always have good songs.

[Loukas]

Ukraine Last year were AMAZING. Greece and Ukraine were 10times better than Russia

[MarkWaldorf]

Turkey is just like Kalomoira! I miss her.

[Shaun]

I really liked the Bosnian entry last year... the weird one with the washing line and the women in wedding dresses, I think it was. I know it's called Pokusaj [with various foreign characters replacing ours].

Also liked Ukraine's [shady lady?]

She has left her record label because they treat her like utter s***. But its not all bad news. Accually thats great news. She has had some offers from 2005's winner Helena Paparizou's Label. Helena has asked to do a song with her

[JOSHUAH!]

ANI LORAK - SHADY LADY


That song was mega amazing! I loved it.

Also, Sakis Rouvas presented the Eurovision Song Contest, Athens 2006.

[M X]

There's already a thread on this-

[Loukas]

They will be Joined. Calm down.

[Ross]

I like this one better anyway, *posts*

[Loukas]

Chears Ross!

Now for another song. The finnish people (for the idiots people from finland) will decide their song in a couple of weeks. The Bookies have this song as the fave to be selected. What do you think? Here is Passionworks with their entry, Surrender.

We might have a chance this year. Look what i found on the BBC website.

Voting

The European Broadcasting Union has announced that in the Final of the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest, professional juries in all participating countries will have 50% influence on the result. Televoters will deliver the other 50% of the outcome.

Normally its something like the Jury have 20% of final vote. Maybe if the see sence.. We might get somewhere this year...?

[JOSHUAH!]

Thats all to stop the 'Block Voting', such as countries next to each other voting for eachother - its mainly political more than a song contest.
