eurovision 2008

[amelie]

however the big surprise was that Greece got so high points - cheeesay cheesay cheeeeesay!!! Horrible to say the least. Armenia looks like a masterpiece compared to Greece.

Hello??? its the EUROVISION song contest and no its not horrible its was better than most if not all the rest of also cheesy entries. Armenia was great but i don't see why you think its SO much better (apart from the vocals )

 

how could Greece come so high?!

/fred

 

simple...Greece rules

 

btw could a mod change the country field from Cyprus to Greece? it was a typo lets say

 

Celine should have competed with Eyes on me, she would win and Taking Chances would gain attention and last year with A cause

Amelie, you're from Greece but that does not mean that everybody has to like this song. I also think it was not one of the best songs in the evening.

I think Ukraine should have won.

[amelie]

i didn't say anyone HAS to like it...i just don't see how it is different from the rest of the cheesy pop songs that makes it HORRIBLE + obviously the public didn't find it horrible.. personally it wasn't even my favorite among the nominated greek entries and i didn't think it would make it in the top5 last night, i didn't think the history would repeat itself. Die for you #3, My number one #1, Shake it #3, My secret combination #3, there's a pattern there Edited May 25, 2008 at 08:43 AM by amelie

You're just replying to every post that is against the Greek entry. But you are right the cheesy songs... Eurovision is full of cheesy pop songs and this has been since forever.

and you're replying to every post against mariah... its only natural. since noone else replies in this thread i don't see why its bad stating my opinion. I just don't see why fred singles out the greek cheesy song among all the cheesy songs, it 'd be interesting to find out

Although the Netherlands were out of the competition, I have to say it was a great year. I liked a lot of the songs. My favorite two:

 

1. Norway

2. Iceland

 

From the top ones, I hoped "My secret combination" by a Greek Britney Spears would win. It was better than Russia. (Although my husband who's favorites were also Norway and Iceland, liked Russia. He liked Greece a little bit better, but in his opinion Russia was good too.)

I didn't mean to hurt your patriotic pride. But the song is repetative and cheap. Ther girl is sweet of course, but that's not the point. And I have nothing against Greece. I am a Swede darn it, all Swedes have been to Greece (except me ). And I still think Greece should had won 2001, and also 2006 - Anna Vissi's Everything was the best song of that competition.

 

Happy?

 

And Frida, I wasn't too thrilled about Björn, sure it was nice to see something different and someone who was actually being a fool on purpose (?) than all of those who just are. I still think the points should be dilivered with some sort of dignity, and Björn was greatly overrated when he first came out in Sweden, still is... Oh well, ok I guess, far from brilliant.

Poland had a great song but they came joint last!! what happened there?

[fred]

The girl couldn't sing, and when she hit the right notes it was only by luck. The song was quite slow, and even though it was a somewhat fine ballad, no one makes ballad like the east countries - Serbia's was wonderful.

 

/fred

[CelineDionx]

she could sing!!! ... cant even remember Serbia's one.. it obviously didnt have much of an impression on me!

i suspected it would come off the wrong way...i didn't mean u have anything against Greece or something, i made all these posts cause nikosn17 kept commenting on my 1st reply when i wasn't even adressing to him (no offense), anyway... (i so wanted Anna Vissi to win too )

Norway was the best !!! Okey, I'm from Norway, so

[luciusbright]

I don't get it...

why so many songs in English????

[fred]

I don't get it...

why so many songs in English????

Till not too long ago all countries had to sing in their native language. This was in favour of the UK and Ireland who sang in English which a lot of people understood and therefor could understand the meaning of the songs from UK and Ireland much better than from let's say Finland. That made they had a huge advantage, and they changed this a couple of years back so that it is up to each country to decide which language they wanna sing in so that it wont be unfair. Some countries even go as far as creating a whole new imaginary "language", as did Belgium this year.

 

/fred

[Davey84]

belgium wasn't the first you know the netherlands had a group of 3 girls who did that too in 2006 I believe... and they didn't get to the finales... so Belgium should have learnt from that

 

I dunno that rule kinda made it fair, but it also took away the essence of the Eurovision... just like the lack of a real orchestra

[Snowhite]

It would be better if the every song was in the native language of each country

Well forgive moi for not giving cred to the Netherlands then, besides I didn't say Belgium was the first to do this so suck on that, I'm just a human you see.

 

Yea the orchestra. One might almost think sony has something to do with it.

 

/fred

[Davey84]

I know you didn't said Belgium was the first... but I also knew you wouldn't know that the Netherlands were the first (I think! ) so that's why I thought I'd mentioned it LOL

 

You know with the current quality of the Irish and British songs... I don't think they'd win if all the other songs were in native languages

[fred]

They are just cranky that they are now equal to the rest... and they have to work a little bit harder.

 

Why are all Netherlanders' so cocky?! I have huge problems with you, Miragie and Mathias aka The Special ed. golden ribbon carrier.

 

/fred

[Davey84]

cocky I never had problems with you despite your always dissing everything céline does and never be happy with anything she does
