I THINK IT WORKS REALLY WELLI'm listening to all the countries entries right now.
(USE REAL PLAYER TO LISTEN TO THE SONG - THEY WONT PLAY WITH WINDOWS MEDIA)
Click here to watch the video to the UK's entry to this year's Eurovision Song Contest.
This is SO eurovisiony. Why are they always really like it belongs to Eastern Europe. Why don't we learn from our previous winners - our last one that won was of course Katrina and The Waves - Love Shine A Light - and that was pure Brit Pop. So why don't we go back to that? I do feel however that Javine's song - Touch My Fire is one of our best entries since Katrina - though i was a fan of Immani - the year that the Tranny from Israel won it. (why the hell are they in anyway?) Ah will the UK ever live down our Jemini entry where we got nil peur!
Click on the country to see for yourself
UK (touch my fire) - has potential.
Albania - (Neser Shkoj) - very good. think is one of my favs
BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA - (Zovi) - Oh my god really bad one hit wonder girl group - but i respect them for singing in English
Croatia - (Vukovi Umiru Sami) - boring again
Cyprus - (Ela Ela) - always good. has the steel drums as well.
Denmark - (Tænder på Dig) - watchable but wont do much on the night
France - (Chacun pense à soi) - i like songs sung in french - its a beautiful langauge. not sure about the song though
FYR Macedonia - (Ti Si Son) - naked girls dancing around eatern european guy - never a winner amongst the viewing public - don't they learn? hey neither do we, but at least we can't be chucked out, Macedonia can.
Germany - (Run & Hide) - Yes girl, go run and hide, despite been sung in English
Greece - (My Number One) - a good song, capable of winning
Hungary - (Foroogj Világ) - no way.
Israel - (Hasheket Shenish'ar) - always bad even when they won
Latvia - (The War Is Not Over) - get over it
Malta - (Angel) - i predicted that this would be good before i listened to it - this could be a winner
Moldova - (Boonika Bate Toba) -?
Norway - (In My Dreams)
Romania - (Let Me Try)
Russia - (Nobody Hurt No One)
Spain - (Brujeria) - sounds like the Ketchup Song - which i loved.
Sweden - (Las Vegas) may be one of my favourite songs - comes 2nd
Switzerland - (Unnamed) - Love Love Love - 3rd fav
Turkey - (Rim Rimi Ley) - Oh no no no no
Ukraine -(Razom Nas Bahato) - last years winners - shouldnt be able to win it this year - its a big song - its a big controversy over it for some reason - great political instabilty in this contry at the min - surprised they didnt relocate the show
This is how the voting will go
The only big votes that we will get will be from Scandinavia and Spain. Scandinavia will give each other big points. Germnay won't give us any, neither will France. Germany will give Denmark and Austria and they will return the favour. small countires around germnay will give them good points - out of fear. And far eastern countries will give each other the points. it's an extact science
and my projected winner is
or (if this year the politics is left at home)
THESE ARE THE CONTRIES THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT TO THE FINAL - WE ALWAYS DO BY DEFAULT AS DO FRANCE, SPAIN HOWEVER IRELAND DON'T WHICH AMAZES ME - THE WIN IT SO OFTEN YOU'D THINK THAT THEY WOULD INVEST MONEY INTO IT
Andorra - (La Mirada Interior) - has the eastern drums but no winner
Austria - (Y asi) - sounds like a bad car advert. make a cuppa during this song
Belarus - (Love Me Tonight) has a good backbeat but sounds like 80s/90s pop
Belgium - (The Big Night) - the solo guys are always really bad on this show and belgium doesn't dissapoint
Bulgaria - (Lorraine) - boring love song - sends to sleep for 4 mins
Estonia - (Let's Get Loud) -doesn't live up to its title
Finland - (Why) - why indeed . the finns are normally good at this
Iceland - (If I Had Your Love) - okay not great but never r from scandinavia
Ireland - (Love) - shockingly bad for the country that has won it the most times
Lithuania - (Little By Little) - good and colourful in my top five
SERBIA & MONTENEGRO - (Zauvijek Moja) - can;t remember this one
Poland - (Czarna Dziewczyna)
Netherlands - (My Impossible Dream) -
Monaco - (Tout De Moi) - better than the french entry

With this contest you know who is going to vote for who and which countries do not stand a chance as long as we dont do what we did 2 years back nil points
sounds all politics to me. interesting analysis of the entire thing. i have to say, other than what you've told me, i have no knowledge of eurovision, and i can't watch those, as i don't have the software (or even hardware) at the moment.
It is indeed very political and because no-one likes us in Europe because of our heavy involvement with America and refusing to join Europe on parliament and monatary issues - we are heavily condemned every year even though our songs are always amongst top five in opinion polls - we end up at the bottom of the league (which would mean we get chucked out of the contest - and have to qualify - but we put too much money into the show itself for us to be chucked out)
