Polish Eurovision Entry: Poland goes barbie!

I fear this song will land in the Top 10.

Irish Eurovision Entry: Ireland 's thanksgiving turkey

Even if I watch it 100 times, I will still not find it funny.

Croatian Eurovision Entry: Croatia tangofalls on old boys!

I do not know whom I find worse: 50 cent or these 75 ones... I particularly liked the complex choreography of the musicians in the background...

Icelandic Eurovision Entry: Iceland eurodances on the wrong foot!

Nearly as terrible as DJ Bobo.

Macedonian Eurovision Entry: FYR Macedonia goes out of tune!

I think she should record a duet with Mark E. Smith because she sings nearly as terrible as he does....

Israeli Eurovision Entry: Israel goes equivoque!

If I had not looked at the picture, I would have thought "the singer is female". A ballad, again, nothing spectacular but nothing wrong either.


Greek Eurovision Entry: Greece combines very with boring!

Call me arrogant. Tell me I have no idea. Still, I think this entry is not the strongest ever. And this is not because she somehow reminds me of Britney Spears.

French Eurovision Entry: France electropops!

Sébastier Tellier est la sélection... avec Divine qui devrait être réécrite pour avoir un texte en francais et en anglais. Un choix de chanson pas franchement divin, si vous me demandez: le morceau est inodore et inintéressant. Quel dommage car Sébastier fait normalement du matériel plus fin et intelligent. Enfin. La chanson version anglaise est sur son site myspace:

German Eurovision Entry: Germany disappears!

Yeah, well, I had a good nose... The No Angels won and will represent Germany. I predict no wings for the Angels and a poor result...

Latvian Eurovision Entry: Latvia's pirate boat is a wreck!

Terrible. Absolutely terrible. But the introduction music of the video is nice.

Georgian Eurovision Entry: Georgia ballads!

At least she is better dressed than Céline Dion...

Bosnian & Herzegovinan Eurovision Entry: Bosnia & Herzegovina chickens!

Poultry seem to be very popular this year - after the Irish turkey entry, here some chicken:



Honestly, his myspace songs do sound a bit more interesting + check out the videos! http://www.myspace.com/lakaelvir

Finnish Eurovision Entry: Finland van halens!

Bah. Give me Lordi baaacccckkkk, PLEASE!

British Eurovision Entry: UK discoes!

I think the background voices still need to better support and marry with the lead voice but the sond is catchy... disco lives!!!!!!!!!!!!

German pre-selections for the European Song Contest...

Here we go... tonight ze ze Big :) day for Germany - the band/artist representing Germany at the next Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson will be selected. Here the nominees:

No Angels - Disappear
The No Angels are the most successful girl band in Germany. The band was put together during one of these terrible casting shows. Having landed a good number of number ones, they split up a while ago ... to celebrate a comeback last year I think. The song does not deliver in my view but seems to be the favourite. Here the video:




Marquess - La Histeria
A song in English to represent Germany is something not new... but in Spanish? Wtf... why not! Marquess landed a hit with "El Temperamento" in 2006. If they don't make it for the Contest, I guess the song will hit the charts in the summer 2008. Unfortunately. La Histeria is a pale copy of a would-be-spanish-sunny-sexy-latino-track. The best are the lyrics... full of poetry and wisdom...listen carefully!




Tommy Reeves - Just One Woman
Well, his girlfriend must have been relieved to hear that Tommy is one "one woman man", no? No idea where the guy comes from. Apparently he had a hit with "I’m Sorry" last summer - well, I am sorry but I do not remember. Anyway, another quite uninteresting ballad for the Grand Prix.




Cinema Bizzare - Forever or Never
I think it might be "never" tonight unless the fans of Tokio Hotel all mobilise and vote for them. But this as such would be a pity...because Cinema Bizzare is far from having the power of Bill & co. The power... and the haircut! Here the evidence:




Carolin Forterbacher - Hinterm Ozean
The only entry in German. I was hoping for the best. Oh well...
