Man, you must have a bad day. Only negative stuff coming from you.

the favourite won,which is a dissapointment when it comes to a much needed eurovision voting drama.
at least the melon err.. apricot lady didn't win."The worst part is wondering how you’ll find the strength tomorrow to go on doing what you did today and have been doing for much too long,where you’ll find the strength for all that stupid running around,those attempts to escape from crushing necessity,which always founder and serve only to convince you one more time that destiny is implacable,that every night will find you down and out,crushed by the dread of more and more sordid and insecure tomorrows.~CélineComment

Nah, she got her A-level. She finished high school. Not A-level in English or grade A. She just finished schoolOriginally posted by ArkadiosV2
High school and Eurovision. What a week. Not the best singer and not the best song imho but she was good and when Germany gets some many points in Europe, something must have been done right in the preparation. Normally, not even Austria and Switzerland give (man) points to Germany. Apart from points from Turkey, everything else is usually a huge surprise.

To be noted, this "Satellite" is a song that openly promotes behavior that leads to women wearing burqas.
"You sometimes make me sad and blue
Wouldn’t have it any other way"
From that viewpoint, it seems that the MELLON Lady (nice one, FedFan) should have won!
@StraightForward: I'm not sure they ripped off Emiliana Torrini. And if they did, they did a lousy job, because that "Jungle Drum" is a really good song, while this is just some sweet, catchy nonsense."One more thing, if any admin delit this topic than the next time you will hear from me will not be on this forum but in a court of law with human right crimes on your shoulders, racism, nazism, breaking international law."Comment

yes. every other eurovision contestant is so authentic...Originally posted by ArkadiosV2
i lived to see germany winning the eurovision. The competition of allied forces (balcans, soviet bloc etc), and yet a country with no friends whatsoever won it. never thought it would happen. yeay!Comment

i so thought of jungle drum when the song started. yes there are some definite similarities there...Originally posted by prtzn View PostTo be noted, this "Satellite" is a song that openly promotes behavior that leads to women wearing burqas.

The only ones I really liked (and I watched the finals direct on Eurovision.tv internet channel) were in my order of preference:
1.Belgium (Tom Dice / Me and My Guitar) (finished 6th)
2.France (Jessy Matador / Allez Ola Olé) (finished 12th)
3.Turkey (maNga / We Could Be The same) (finished 2nd)
4.Lithuania (InCulto / Eastern European Funk) (didn't even qualify for the finals)
5.Ireland (Niamh Kavanagh / It's For You) (finished 23rd)
I didn't like the other top 5 winners much:
1.Germany's winning song (Lena / Sattelite) is ok but not my fancy
3.Romanian entry (Paula Seling and Ovi / Playing With Fire) is just terrible
4.Denmark entry (Chanée and N'evergreen / In a Moment Like This) is ok, but not great, very forgettable
5.Azerbaijan (Safura / Drip Drop) the best I liked of the Top 5 after Belgium, a very very decent song

Right, in German it's Abitur but in English it's A-level(s)Originally posted by Fedfan View Postisn't it called an Abitur?Didn't know germans had a levels as well?

I don't even think that she will pursue a singing career. She isn't a professional singer.burnsteinComment

I tried listening to it again, and I didn't see the resemblance (except in the idea for the lyrics (I am a women in love...)). But, funny thing, I asked the people around me, and everyone else heard the resemblance.Originally posted by qiangdade View Post
Actually, the start of "Satellite" only reminded me of the start of
"The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name"
BTW, Lena kind of has an Australian accent when she says "I bought them just the other day""One more thing, if any admin delit this topic than the next time you will hear from me will not be on this forum but in a court of law with human right crimes on your shoulders, racism, nazism, breaking international law."Comment

Angry Video Game Nerd would have said for this eurovision:
"What a shit load of fuck!"

Finally someone noticed my concern that Eurovision actually do riffing off stuff from other original songs/bands. I thought everyone here is too busy discussing boobs and stage aesthetics
"Jungle drum" obviously gave the idea and they too a lot from it, it's not like you changing few sentences in the book (or changing a style a little bit, but making the same statements) and you call it your own, I still would call it stealing.LTU NT will snatch Eurobasket 2029 title with this roster:
Jokubaitis, Marciulionis, Laurencikas
Indrusaitis, Brazdeikis, Rubstavicius
Buzelis, Lelevicius
Murauskas, Sirvydis
