i can't believe we still dont have a thread on this "huge" event :rolleyes: :D The contest is going take place in MOSCOW (hello Putin) on 12-16 May.

There are only several songs that caught my attention:

American entry with kinda catchy song Miss Kiss Bang Bang, they could do rather good.


Cute and romantic Norway


Magnificent Patricia Kaas, France is going rather big ....




Now to all greek posters if they have any intentions to come here and spam on how good the greek entry is...please, dont. The song sucks big time, it hurts me to listen to this cheap pop. Ok, the guy is cute. I admit. But that's basically it.

So what do you think ? Who could win this year ?
 
Of course you couldn't resist mentioning the Greeks again. You love them don't you? Is your Greek colleague still pissing you off? I agree that the Greek song is pretty bad...

I have not listened to all the songs yet but my vote so far goes to Bosnia, without a question.



Do you seriously like the French entry? It's gonna finish so rock bottom it will even trail to the British one. It's simply not for this kind of competition. The Norwegian is a bit cutesy but all over the place. As for the German one... i did not expect anything else from a country whose best contribution to the music industry has been this:



Gosh, I'm such a hater :D

With greek colleague we are getting along just fine. I started to piss him off as well, and it seems i am good at this..since a week ago he officially declared that he hates me. I am thinking to request being moved to another room, cause i dont know how much longer i can stand to sit together with PAO fan.

Patricia Kaas is popular in ex-Soviet Union. I believe she could really get good points.
 
Ups... I,m sorry for a little arrogant attitude about myself, but i could,t imagine that,s possible to discuss so f...ng event on interbasket. I give you 99,9% that we,ll get 1-st place again, because of idiotic rules, because of our neighbors connection. And all DECEIVED Europe eventually will see on this FARCE...

Eurovision is already a tradition at IBN, impossible to skip it :D
 
I love eurovision, very very much :D of course not musicwise :), but in terms of betting, one the best events ever (along with olympics). Epecially I remember DJ Bobo and his vampire song "not to qualify to the final", odds were huge for that and I was just damn sure that he won't be there, so made great profit on that :)

This year, well, yesterday I was at one girl's house and she's just crazy about eurovision, so her PC played all songs from this year's ESC for a few times probably and as much as I've heard it, there's not a single song which I liked. Actualy, every year there are a song or few, which I like and even download, but this year there's none.

Didn't see performances yet, so hard to make any conclusions about possible favorites, but I hope this year again will be profitable :) Sometimes you need to hurt your eyes or ears a little bit to make your life better :)

Actually, that is the German entry. :D
I find it incredibly annoying.

It would surprise me if there was an American entry in the Eurovision song contest. Or did I miss something?

The Eurovision song contest is always a nice occasion to improve the immigrant integration process. Turkey ... Germany, 12 points! That must make everyone happy.
 
A very typical and catchy tune would be the Azerbaijani entry "Always" by Aysel and Iranian-Swedish pop singer Arash (full name Aeash Labaf) who wrote the song

Probably in Russia the organizers will be delighted with Arash peforming in Moscow as he is known to have Russian hits with local stars:

Arash ft. Blestjashie - Temptation in Russian

Arash feat. Anna Semenovich-Na Morya in Russian
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvHG90TLKR4

The most recent hit of Arash is a collaboration with Shaggy called "Donya":

A song that everybody will talk about is the Hebrew / Arabic / English song Israel is putting forward "There Must Be Another Way" by Israeli-Yemeni Noa and Israeli-Arab Mira Awad:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RN8B1xvCxI0

The song has also its Hebrew and Arabic titles as well Einaiych / Aynaki (Your Eyes)

Not a bad song, at least it's not sweety pop stuff from 80s that Eurovision is famous about :p .... still I hope some Lordi-style group will show up this year :D

BTW Noa got some ties with bbl: she was the main music performer during Euroleague Final Four 2004

She also has connections with Mira in an older song, a Beatles cover "We Can Work It Out" (not an official video though, so beware....)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rn12wcZaZF8

She also sings a beautiful Hebrew Arabic version of Lennon's "Imagine" with Algerian rai singer Cheb Khaled (also unofficial video)

Noa's real name is Achinoam Nini

europe should make a pan-european gay festival, something called 'queerlympics' every 4 years or so and stop using eurovisionn and music as a cocealed gay festival.

i want some electronic pop in eurovision. my favorite singer is gadir bulatov. he can handle the azeri flute like a true man, filling all the holes at once with his hairy muscular fingers. i love him.

Yea, I know :p

BTW It's not simple "Israeli-Yemeni Noa and Israeli-Arab Mira Awad"

Noa spent most of her life in New York ( from age 2 ) , so it's more "American-Israeli-Yemeni"

Mira Awad mother is Bugarian , her father is Israeli Arab , she lives in Tel Aviv , but considers herself Palestinian , so she's kind of "Israeli-Arab-Bulgarian-Palestinian"

It makes their duet "American-Israeli-Yemeni -Israeli-Arab-Bulgarian-Palestinian" :eek:
 
By the way, I've checked out ESC2007 entries ... not all of them, of course , but Balkan/Baltic/West Europe countries

Here is my totally biased and subjected as hell opinion :

12 Portugal
10 Bosnia Herzegovina
9 Estonia
8 Malta
7 Slovenia
...




Portugal entry is simply terrific : a colorful and very emotional mix with an authentic ethnic touch

Bosnia Herzegovina is good , build for the win , although I can't rid of the feeling that I've already heard it somewhere . :p

Estonia entry is very refreshing, just a little bit cold

So we would expect 12 points for the Israeli entry from Bulgaria at least for "There Must Be Another Way". One of the singers, the beautiful Mira Awad, has Bulgarian origins... well partly... LOL

For me, this remains a truly beautiful song.
 
I've heard pretty much all the songs on youtube, and I have to say that the level is unbelievable low, aboove all if compared to last year edition...not too bad the bosnian song, but all in all, my preferences go to the serbian one, "Cipela" (shoe) ,played by Marko Kon!
