her strong German accent Funnily some people think she sings with british accent! Some things are british, like "day" where she says [dai], no? They showed the video to a british speaker and he said she has invented her own accent i think its good, it fits and shows some musicality. But shes hyped too much, the media always has to exaggerate things... Im not a fan of pop music either. When it comes to music i am an ignorant fascist. I dont listen to others opinions, or let alone the "charts" or something. But this song is more on the good side of pop music IMO. Also Turkey, not very original, but OK song. There were 3, 4 other songs on the good side, which is a good rate for the Eurovision. About football, im not that hard on nationalities. I usually pick the team that is playing an attractive style, or the underdog. Usually both is true for the turkish team, when comparing them to the german but they are never successful, so it is always a pain to support this team they are technically high skilled, but are a very chaotic team. Germany exactly the opposite.

Anybody watched it? Opinions? No! I didnt watch it and haven't since I was about ten years old..... on the other hand I have lots of opinions about it.. ...but firstly I have a question.....what is the actual point of it??? Im trying to think of a comparison...... good music, as we all know can be beautiful, evocative, inspiring and most definately magical....whatever its genre.....but the stuff on there is absolutely bottom of the pile, manufactured bells and whistles...it makes me wanna puke. glitz and glamour, dreadful melodies, appaling dance routines, sickening chorus hooks....Outrageous front men/women....and are any of them actually any good???? I mean Really??? if this is actually a contest about the best SONG then its surely a contest about the best 'worst' song and seeing as music is one of the greatest gifts, the most magical of wonders that humans have had bestowed upon them then how dare these cretins **** with it like this. It's almost like (from a male perspective, and at the risk of objectifiying women..i mean to complement them if anything) having a beauty contest (which i think stink anywyay)....but instead of the most beautiful women (and even if that beauty is slim and tall or curvy or whatever) they have the most ugly deformed women infact the most hastily manufactured women, perhaps with botox gone wrong, perhaps with missing arms and extra eyes, one with no hair, one thats just a head, one that can only scream but cant talk, perhaps one is just a man dressed as a women.... and then we all watch and the winner is the one that is the least offensive to the eyes and ears. perhaps this women analogy is a bad one but my point being... why take something so that can be so wonderful and beautiful and screw it over??? and the excuse "it's just a bit of fun" doesn't wash with me. I truly believe that music presented in this way is the most disgusting form of propganda and really affects our collective consciousness and attitude towards music as a whole, but what can we do eh? I'd probably hate this too but......if ya wanna have a song contest or music contest...why not do it properly??? Have actual musicians (perhaps even pros) performing...why did paco never represent spain?? or miles davis never play for america?( but thats prob another political debate right there) anyway in conclusion **** the eurovision song contest!!!!

I never watched this eurovision de la BS , with all those low level singers (well, except ONCE i watched RTL Superstar in Germany because of that Iranian Guy who finally won , even though everytime i was forced also to watch Dieter Bohlen ),,,, but anyway i somehow like Stephan Raab, so good for Germany and Turkey --- Ron, Deniz nailed it. In Middle Eastern or other Teams from that area, the players are usually good technically on their own, but horrible teamwork and no organisation (just like all the other people from that area ): i mean take one iranian guy and he can be a genius, but take 2 of them and tell them to do something together and it will end up in a catastrophy. Everyone wants to be the captain

LOL Stu. Post of the month! Somewhere, a botox went wrong, extra eyed, missing armed and no haired woman with only one head is very angry at you now. Perhaps if she had 6 breasts you could play something on her? Anyways, thats just the style i fear, pop music. I dont like most of the stuff presented there, BUT you have to see that there many often unknown people get the chance to give a performance. Good publicity. Lena being the most extreme example as she was nothing more than a student six months ago. No gigs, no band, nothing (AFAIK). But thats no excuse to that crappy music shows of course, but still some 3,4 good musicians are always there.
