the Bulgarian Entry was chosen this weekend ... mp3 can be found here .. I dont know who she is, but I read she's been around for a while ... and you ocan hear towards the end of the song a man 'aaaaaaaaaaahing' with her... well, that's no other than our very own: Azis the Transvestite :lol: I hope he goes with her and 'ahh' couple of times, just to contribute to the Eurovision circus haha ... the song... well, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz again, but i also read that at least the girl can sing live...

edit: actually, now that i've heard it couple of times... it's not THAT bad... it's just one of those ballads that i dont really enjoy that much, but it has some potential if performed well...

I like it, the melody is good, the singer's voice is nice and the country elements don't overwhelm the song. Another one I like is Ireland's, it may be a bit subtle but I think that Ireland might regain its pride in the contest. Bulgaria...well, I can't hear something in the song that will elevate it from mediocrity, so we need to wait for the performance.
All the songs are ok, nothing extraordinary but no real stinkers either...except , maybe the UK song... and bearing in mind that he can't use a kids choir due to regulations, another idea for a stage act would be to pick up a few yobs from the streets... provided they wreck the stage afterwards.

Oh, having said that: esctoday has not shown the entry for Lithuania yet and I do hope it's not the one I heard...that was shocking :eek:
PS. If you're interested, the songs chosen for Vissi to sing in the Greek final - which is tomorrow - are up on the main page of eurovision.gr
Not a single one is any good, actually a lot worse than anything else to be honest. It looks like semi for Greece next year

superstarturkey.com

our eurovision page has been opened today!english version will come in a week.

tomorrow in greece it will be the national final for anna vissi's entry in eurovision in athens and Sibel Tüzün,the Turkish participant will be there with contestants of some othr countries.it will be fun.

greek entry has been picked the anna vissi song everything will represent the host country of esc 2006.its a good ballad song

Embarassment or not, the tickets for the 2 nights disappeared within 1.5 hour. So for an embarassment it sells pretty well ;)
speaking about embarassment, the Greek song is embarassing but apparently some people like it...:bum:
So the biggest embarassments in this year's Eurovison should be 1) Lithuania 2) Iceland 3) UK 4) Greece...
though the UK would probably do well according to the polls....
Oh also the French song is slow and boring ( surprise surpise! )

Best songs for me are: Belgium-Turkey-Bosnia-Germany-Switzerland-Ireland-Croatia and the dark horse should be
Romania again - though not my style, a well tried recipe. Was easy to pick really....haven't listened to Armenia, Netherlands or Monaco yet and of course the others that haven't been selected ( like Russia, Serbia, Sweden etc )

serbia and montenegro withdrew from the contest as 2005 montengrin participants no name wins again with a song that is about the independence of montenegro

and i think the best songs until now are from norway,netherlands,bosnia,greece,romania and albania(since i have some roots from albanians)

now heres what you were waiting for!the russian song declared!never let you go by dima bilan.its an average song.there are better ones.

Never Let You Go

serbia back in the contest.after the disputed final last week they give it one more try to eurovision.the songs placed in top five in the previous final will compete again to represent serbian and montengro.now we got all the songs except them

Last night Swedish entry was chosen. It's Carola again (for the third time). The English title will be Invincible.

You can watch the Swedish final performance here:

I got so mad when Carola won. That dumb religious freak.
Oh well, she's already a celebrity in Sweden and the song was good, she has a strong voice.
My momma voted for Bodies Without Organs though, they're hilarious.

Today me and my mom were at the supermarket, and as we were standing in line I go "I hate Carola." and the lady at the register gave me a smile, LOL.

i didnt like swedish entry at all the woman's voice was some kind of irritating to me.anyway i ll see if i can get used to it.i am thinkin about enterin a poll so we can know what we think about the songs.

I don't think our polls allow that many entries. We can write a sort of "my top 10" when the entries of all countries will be available.

I've never been a huge fan of Carola. She's all right but not more than that.

i noticed that after i wrote those.max. 10 options.your idea sounds cool too. tonight with serbia and montenegro(they may not take part this year,read this)

I'm sure the problem will be settled in either way. I'll wait and see. Eurovision is going to take place with or without our southern neighbors.

P.S. It's the same story each year. Some countries quarrel over entries, etc. Last year it was Bulgaria, which had some celebrity scandal with disqualification and this year it's Serbia and Montenegro. Sad enough.

this year it about politics.it was revealed that montenegro will use the group no name for the independence referrandum in may after their victory in the national final.then serbs go mad and cancelled the final results.tonight there will be a additional final with top five of each part.but now montenegro refuses to broadcast the show.dont know what will happen

edit:finally it is confirmed that serbia and montenegro wont be competing in the 51st eurovision song contest.

Oh, this is for Amber. Da, Pat, don't miss this bit of huge news. You gonna LUUVE it!

US has bought the concept of the Eurovision and is going to launch it in the States. It got to be like USvision Song Contest or something. He-he. :D

Serves us right, after all the dumb shows we stole from them. :laugh:

wow the show will
be running all day.. all those states and their entrys. Imagine the votings :none:

Anyway I still haven't heard any of the other songs.. so I'm still cheering for Denmark this year :lalala:

athens 2006

try this link for all the songs and their videos

edit:then we got all the songs.lets start a mini eurovision.everyone give points to the ountry they want and see what we like.but at 1st we need an organisator person for this.to count the votes and give excitement to the mini contest.who are we lookin for?

fanoff, Oh, beautiful! Thanks.

I was scraching my head here as a girl I was sitting in the same class like 10 years ago with, was one of the composers here for the Swedish National. Couldn't really recognise the chick now. People change, wow! I wonder how much I changed since then. :bum: Anyway, it was offtop. Got to check the songs now.

forre, was it that girl you posted on the Russian forum about?
