silver Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 OMG Eurovision 2018 is with us already. The BBC have already given previews of the songs from which the UK entry will be chosen (but I haven't listened to them yet ) Any other countries shortlisting their songs yet?

giraffeandy Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Just a while ago I was listening to the song which will probably represent our country (it's not chosen yet, there are 6 songs in the national round, this one was chosen by the jury but there was also a public online voting and the results haven't been published yet) and I don't know what to think about it, it's not really my cup of tea... However, at least it's quite catchy and not so boring. Anyway, I'm not a big fan of Eurovision to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch Eurovision for years but started following it again a couple of years ago, and found that hidden in all the Eurotrash were some quite decent songs (which of course didn't win ). There's a small group of us here that post all the entries and try to pick the winner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We-Are-Golden Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) I'm not sure wich song we'll be sending in (I haven't been up to date with that ) But I do know we are sending Waylon, he was send in a few years ago for us as well, but then as a duo; the Common Linnets. We became 2nd that time, so I hope we end up high again now Depends on the song I think. Edited January 26, 2018 by We-Are-Golden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H !i I didn't watch the whole contest but I fell good that people voted for a song about such a diffucult subject I liked Igit too but didn't didn't know any of the other songs To be honest I didn't expect that so I'm happy whatever the rank the song will raise at the international contest Edited January 28, 2018 by carafon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Je n'ai pas regardé le concours entier mais je suis tombé bien que les gens ont voté pour une chanson sur un sujet si difficile J'ai aimé Igit aussi mais je ne connaissais aucune des autres chansons Pour être honnête je ne m'attendais pas à ça donc je suis content quel que soit le classement de la chanson au concours international Yes, it's important that the song is good. It's well if the France has a success but for me, it's not the most important. And i think is well the song is in French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giraffeandy Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I have to say I really liked the french song which competed last year (Alma - Requiem), it was my favorite but unfortunately it didn't do so well in the competition... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Alma too, but it was a shame that she sang this song partially in english. I really love her acoustic version with Amir I read somewhere that polish contestants will be selected at the beginning of March But I do not expect anything special, anyway Edited January 29, 2018 by Dominika 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giraffeandy Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 So now it's official, this is the czech song... Not really happy about the choice, I don't like it. If someone is interested, this were the other options: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKplbIyrc-0&t=96s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8UDxJ5fp5A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2C9dTi7rso&t=71s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h7zDpE1nqk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9j3rwwjhlQ8&t=82s I don't think it's the worst song but my favorite was Debbi (the second one). However, none of them has really impressed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a band which is really popular here and even though I'm not a fan of them, this song was quite good. So I'm not surprised that all the songs are in English. I'm not even surprised that this one was chosen in the national selection, I think people just didn't want another ballad sung by a woman like lately. But I'm not sure if this song has better chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like most of them (I love music in Spanish in general), maybe the most catchy one is El Remedio, I'd choose this, the ballads are also nice but it depends a lot on the live performance. Lo Malo and Camina sound the most generic to me. The rest is ok. What do you think, do you have a favorite song? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the French song Interesting, I thought Lo Malo sounds more generic and similar to other songs (it has this typical beat) than El Remedio, I don't hear similarities to Despacito personally... However, El Remedio reminds me a little bit of my favorite singer when I was about 4 or 5 years old, Natalia Oreiro (she is Uruguayan not Spanish but the music style is quite similar), so maybe I liked the song just because of nostalgia...

I found it sweet and beautiful, but maybe I was biased because those two contestants – they all are finalists in a talent show, proper winner will be chosen next week – proved to have a special chemistry between them since they performed "City of Stars" together back in November. Then I thought it could be too cheesy for Eurovision , and started considering other more cheerful options like "Que nos sigan las luces" or "Magia". But in the end it seems many people found "Tu canción" cute too, for it is eventually the one that will represent us this year: I'm happy with it. Even if we don't get many votes, at least it won't be embarrassing as it was last year... And I agree about your entry; I don't particularly like it and would have preferred the song by Debbi, too. Then again, you never know! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
