suzie Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Here's our Romanian entry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q1WpOTpZ1A When the piano started I thought he'll begin to sing "Take a look at my girlfriend"... It is catchy but I don't think it will be as popular as last year's really memorable tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 @mariposa I hope you won't mind me posting the link you tweeted earlier today: http://www.oljo.de/eurovision2011-video-charts-esc/top10.html I can't believe the Hungarian entry is 2nd most popular Normally we have really weak entries but this one is just awesome - I love it and I never thought I'd ever say this bit out of all the songs I have heard so far it is my favourite. I am sure Kati has no chance of winning the competition but at least we can be proud of our entry .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droopsy Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Haven't had a lot of time to follow everything, so most songs will be a first during the shows.

She can sing, has a good voice and the song is catchy. Whenever I start tapping my feet or bobbing my head unconsciously, it's a good sign.

Whenever I start tapping my feet or bobbing my head unconsciously, it's a good sign. Thanks for telling me. It feels great that others like it, too. It's not that this song has any roots in our culture it has a typical 00s dance beat, nothing original, not even the melody.) but it could be the first real hit of a Hungarian person in the European charts You know, a lot of bookmakers say that France will win.The same thing happened with Norway in 2009(?), bookmakers said he'll win and he did. I also say France will win. That song stands out from the rest in sounding 'classy' (Eurovision voters are pretty conservative ) plus there is a cute young blue eyed blond boy singing it. The only disadvantage France has vs most other entries is that most people will only hear it first on Saturday (as France gets through the semi-finals automatically) . It did not seem to be much of a problem for Lena but by the time of the final everyone was talking about her chance of winning. I'm not sure if France can turn the prediction of bookmakers to their advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same when I heard the French entry (but I have not heard all entries yet).

It is not embarrassing. It is a cute little song with a nice guy - it might be boring a bit though or not outstanding enough to win. However, it can still get to a good position.

Maybe I should listen to it again with an open mind, I'm always very critical with our entries... This time I actually liked the beginning, it is cute, but the chorus part? There are a couple of old entries (from years back) that I actually like a lot even they didn't have much success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annabelle Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I'm not a fan of Eurovision but I'm so watching it this year. And it's all because of our lovely slovenian performer- Maja Keuc. Her voice is simply outstanding. I went to see her in concert not long ago, and I had goosebumps from the very beginning to very the end. Ok so the eurovison song isn't really top of the top-they could've (and should've) done something better for her (not to mention that the video for the song is really shi**y-that's why I'm not posting it ) but oh well, I bet all on her beautiful voice. She's really super talented. Love her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariposa Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Boys and girls, EUROVISION week is about to start! So excited!!! Semi finales on Tuesday and Thursday - and then the big final on Saturday! Can't wait!! So I thought it was about time to start our internal MFC ranking. I would love to know what songs you guys prefer. If you haven't heard them yet, you can listen to them here: songs of the first semi-final: http://www.youtube.com/user/eurovision#p/c/BD85E817019E6B76 songs of the second semi-final: http://www.youtube.com/user/eurovision#p/c/2B7EE0834CBEE94D prequalified songs: http://www.youtube.com/user/eurovision#p/c/FDAC34205AD9D974 So here's my personal comments on the songs: first semi-final 01 Poland Magdalena Tul Jestem not particularly fond of it, but it's ok 02 Norway Stella Mwangi Haba Haba Ok, but I don't really like the verses, the chorus is fine though 03 Albania Aurela Gaçe Feel The Passion The video is kinda trashy, the songs is ok, but a little bit too aggressive IMO 04 Armenia Emmy Boom Boom I actually like this song, would like to see her in the final 05 Turkey Yüksek Sadakat Live It Up Not too bad! 06 Serbia Nina Čaroban For me it's an ok song, but too boring 07 Russia Alexej Vorobjov Get You produced by RedOne - I would have expected more. But it could definitely get some radio airplay in Europe. The chorus is kinda chatchy, too. 08 Switzerland Anna Rossinelli In Love For A While I think it's beautiful. Hope we'll see Switzerland in the final! 09 Georgia Eldrine One More Day Yay, this rocks! I like it! 10 Finland Paradise Oskar Da Da Dam Cute guy, cute song, cute lyrics. He's got to be in the final for sure! 11 Malta Glen Vella One Life Malta can't be serious... 12 San Marino Senit Stand By it's a nice song actually, but I don't think they'll make it 13 Croatia Daria Celebrate very flat IMO 14 Iceland Sjonni's Friends Coming Home moving story behind this song, but it doesn't really grow on me 15 Hungary Kati Wolf What About My Dreams? The big favourite for the title this year! Well produced! She will definitely be top5 in the end. 16 Portugal Homens Da Luta Luta É Alegria Funny... 17 Lithuania Evelina Sašenko C'est Ma Vie great voice...I fear she won't get through though...I think it's a beautiful song. Very musical-like! 18 Azerbaijan Ell/Nikki Running Scared Ok song, nice ballad. They'd deserve to make it to the finals 19 Greece Loucas Yiorkas feat. Stereo Mike Watch My Dance not at all my taste So for me, the 10 countries I would put through are: Armenia, Turkey, Russia, Switzerland, Gerogia, Finland, San Marino, Hungary, Lithuania, Azerbaijan second semi-final 01 Bosnia & Herzegovina Dino Merlin Love In Rewind I actually like this song (sounds like Paolo Conte to me whom i really like, so...) 02 Austria Nadine Beiler The Secret Is Love The song's ok, but too boring IMO 03 The Netherlands 3JS Never Alone this song does nothing to me 04 Belgium Witloof Bay With Love Baby ok...I actually like a capella songs... 05 Slovakia TWiiNS I'm Still Alive This song reminds me of the Veronicas. Not too bad! 06 Ukraine Mika Newton Angel So who's that Mika? I like the song.... 07 Moldova Zdob și Zdub So Lucky Somehow I like this song...They won't make it through though I believe 08 Sweden Eric Saade Popular Oh dear, Eric finally made it to the ESC. Ok song, a bit "haunting" but stilla cceptable 09 Cyprus Christos Mylordos San Aggelos S’Agapisa boooring 10 Bulgaria Poli Genova Na Inat I like it...but I don't believe it will be voted to the finals either 11 F.Y.R. Macedonia Vlatko Ilievski Rusinka love it! Good luck! 12 Israel Dana International Ding Dong Dana's back! It was the first time I watched the Eurovision when she won back in 1998! Good memories. This year's song is ok, too. 13 Slovenia Maja Keuc No One beautiful voice, beuatiful girl, but I don't really like the song 14 Romania Hotel FM Change great song IMO!!!! 15 Estonia Getter Jaani Rockefeller Street LOVE LOVE it, it's one of my (if not THE favourite) this year!!! *1273 down to Rockerfeller Street* 16 Belarus Anastasiya Vinnikova I Love Belarus like the melody, but the songs a bit weird... 17 Latvia Musiqq Angel In Disguise I kinda like this song... 18 Denmark A Friend In London New Tomorrow LILE LIKE LIKE 19 Ireland Jedward Lipstick C'mon it's Jedward. This song is my thsi year's guilty pleasure... This semi-finals will be a lot tighter than the first one. My 10 entries that I'd pick for the final would be: Bosnia&Herzegowina, Slowakia, Sweden, F.Y.R. Macedonia, Israel, Romania, Estonia, Latvia, Denmark, Ireland already qualified for the final 11 France Amaury Vassili Sognu great voice! Will be doing great in the final! I really like it!! 12 Italy Raphael Gualazzi Madness Of Love Me likes it...very jazzy 14 United Kingdom Blue I Can an ok song...they could be doing better IMO 16 Germany Lena Taken By A Stranger I like it. Will eb very interesting to see how she will be doing on Saturday! 22 Spain Lucía Pérez - Que Me Quiten Lo Bailao nice song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Droopsy Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Thanks for the list *first semi-final 01 Poland Magdalena Tul Jestem A bit boring... Have heard it X times before. 02 Norway Stella Mwangi Haba Haba She doesn't sing particularly good.... The chorus is okay but it's is a no for me. 03 Albania Aurela Gaçe Feel The Passion I'm not looking forward to see/hear this live. It's okay, but I prefer another type of song for eurovision. It's a lot of screaming as well.. 04 Armenia Emmy Boom Boom Hmmm difficult. I liked the beginning. Had expectations that I'd like the whole song but the chorus disappointed me. It's a bit too childish. 05 Turkey Yüksek Sadakat Live It Up I don't know why but I usually love the entries for Turky! I can't recall a year I didn't like it... And this year is no different. Me likey! 06 Serbia Nina Čaroban I like it! Deserves to be in the final imo. 07 Russia Alexej Vorobjov Get You It reminds me of a song... Can't remember which one atm... Anyway, I'm not blown away by it. It wouldn't be in my top 10. 08 Switzerland Anna Rossinelli In Love For A While Nice and cute. 09 Georgia Eldrine One More Day Brrr, nope, not my thing. Don't like it at all. Couldn't even finish the whole song. 10 Finland Paradise Oskar Da Da Dam Nice voice. 11 Malta Glen Vella One Life The song itself, the melody isn't that bad actually. But the video gets me worried... What is this going to be live? 12 San Marino Senit Stand By It's a nice ballad. I usually don't like ballads. 13 Croatia Daria Celebrate No. 14 Iceland Sjonni's Friends Coming Home I like it 15 Hungary Kati Wolf What About My Dreams? Good one! If she can pull it off live and sing well = big success! 16 Portugal Homens Da Luta Luta É Alegria Awful. 17 Lithuania Evelina Sašenko C'est Ma Vie I immediately loved her voice. It reminds me of the type of voice they cast for a disney fairytale. The song isn't "wow" enough though imo. 18 Azerbaijan Ell/Nikki Running Scared It's okay. 19 Greece Loucas Yiorkas feat. Stereo Mike Watch My Dance One of my least favorites. The rap thing is just horrid. *second semi-final 01 Bosnia & Herzegovina Dino Merlin Love In Rewind I think it's nice but it doesn't catch my attention enough 02 Austria Nadine Beiler The Secret Is Love I've had a change of heart about this one. It's a no for me. It's very gaga-like 03 The Netherlands 3JS Never Alone I like it okay. But maybe that's because they've played it like mad over here I do prefer it in dutch though. Maybe they should have kept it like that. 04 Belgium Witloof Bay With Love Baby Dislike it very much. 05 Slovakia TWiiNS I'm Still Alive Nope. 06 Ukraine Mika Newton Angel Not my taste 07 Moldova Zdob și Zdub So Lucky I love it! Seriously! It makes me happy, liked it upon hearing it for the first time. 08 Sweden Eric Saade Popular It's okay but I wouldn't vote for it. 09 Cyprus Christos Mylordos San Aggelos S’Agapisa Pffffffffffffff, next. 10 Bulgaria Poli Genova Na Inat It's okay, not a winner though. 11 F.Y.R. Macedonia Vlatko Ilievski Rusinka I like it! It's the type of eurovision song I always like hehe:naughty: I love that rhythm. Makes me want to get up and dance. 12 Israel Dana International Ding Dong It's nice, nothing spectacular but am looking forward to the performance. 13 Slovenia Maja Keuc No One Not my thing 14 Romania Hotel FM Change I like Romania! It's one of those songs I immediately liked. I hope it gets high! Top 5 preferably 15 Estonia Getter Jaani Rockefeller Street It's catchy... 16 Belarus Anastasiya Vinnikova I Love Belarus I like the song, not fond of the voice. 17 Latvia Musiqq Angel In Disguise meh 18 Denmark A Friend In London New Tomorrow It's a nice song, nothing special but it's good. 19 Ireland Jedward Lipstick Well I do look forward to the performance *already qualified for the final 11 France Amaury Vassili Sognu I like it, wow he can sing! I think this has the surprise factor that could cash in a lot of votes. 12 Italy Raphael Gualazzi Madness Of Love LOVE IT! My favorite. 14 United Kingdom Blue I Can Meh.... Don't like the little "choreography" they're doing. 16 Germany Lena Taken By A Stranger I'm not a fan of Lena and her accent. 22 Spain Lucía Pérez - Que Me Quiten Lo Bailao The song itself is okay. ------------------------------ Yeah, this year's not a success for me. I'd say my top five is: 1. Italy 2. Romania 3. France 4. Hungary 5. Moldova Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
