HEAT 06



oh hi hens!

Let us continue this extravaganza by moving onto Heat seks.

Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Slovenia (+Kosovo but who curr rly) used to be together and slaying as Yugoslavia, especially in the late 80s when they even won. Then in 1991 Slovenia decides to Zayn the union and shortly after that Croatia followed suit. Slovenia what a hoe. Then Macedonia thought about it and left as well, leaving poor Serbia & Montenegro and Bosnia & Herzegovina behind. Little did they know these two countries will achieve a lot more than the other 3. A few years later Serbia also decided to leave poor Montenegro and it worked really well for them in 2007 when they won their debut contest with the only non-English language winner of the last (now) 16 years! Macedonia on the other hand has ONLY either DNQd or finished in the 12th-19th region in the final. lolol how awks. Oh and speaking of terrible, Macedonia has been quite unlucky with DNQs in 2008 and 2009. Under the current rules they would've just qualified but the whole jury picks the 10th qualifier RIDICULOUSNESS has thrown them out of the running twice in a row in favour of Charlotte Perrelli and Waldo's People. Let Me Love You was fab so it was a shame. #justice4tijana

I've never realised that Ukraine hasn't sent a male into the contest since 2007! And even Verka I consider female at heart~ The country had the incredible run of some of the most ikonec and amazing entries in the past 10 years. The 2006-2009 part was especially incredible. ALL 4 of them are true 11/10 material. Song, performance, artists themselves - the entire package. Since that time Ukraine has toned it all down a bit but still continues to produce huge songs year after year. Let's hope this year's break (induced by russia ofc >:( ) will not hinder the quality in the future.

And last (and definitely least!) we have got Germany here. Having served us MoR/crap live/unlistenable/blah teas for the majority of the last 20 years, Germany deserves the insults tbh. The last 5 years have been quite good in mostly an innocent/blah kind of way (Lena excepted ofc. QUEEN *.* ) though. However, it was so much worse in the past. Sürpriz, Lou and Texas Lightning are BARELY saving that grim selection of 15 entries between 1995 and 2009. At least Lena came out there in 2010 and proved that even a country as desperate for success and so terrible at both being desperate and being successful can win if they put their mind to it.

You may vote in ANY or ALL of these four sub-heats. You do that by forming your 10 favourite songs from each country. You must use the traditional Eurovision voting system (12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 point). If a country had less than 10 participations between 1995 and 2004 then you must rank ALL of their entries but still use the same voting system described earlier. For example, if a country has only 7 entries then your votes will be 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5 and 4 points.

Vote via PM to Conderella. You have until 23:59 Sunday April 26th, 2015.

P.S.: zippys laterz

Yes please! So ikonec it hurts

Posted by: gooddelta 20th April 2015, 12:37 PM

Elena *.* She made Beyonce and Shakira dance for us. It's a true story (probably) that Beautiful Liar only came about after they were inspired to collaborate after hearing Ninanajna.

I love Germany, but two entries stand head and shoulders above the others for me. Same with Ukraine.

BTW, why have you put in Macedonia's 1996 DNQ and not the other countries'?

Posted by: Conderella 20th April 2015, 01:28 PM

I have put 2 Serbia & Monetengro's entries separately from Serbia and Montenegro in Heat 11 or something.


Ugh never trusting Wiki from now on

Posted by: Conderella 20th April 2015, 01:35 PM

BTW if gooddelta, Adam or John (those who already voted basically) feel they want to alter their votes to include Germany 1996's Leon, I'd be happy to accept them.

Posted by: gooddelta 20th April 2015, 02:06 PM

I'll give it a miss (although it wasn't that bad - would probably be 11th in my votes)

Posted by: LexC 20th April 2015, 04:05 PM

I CARE NOT FOR YOUR APOSTROPHES.

What I DO care for though is Oro and Shady Lady (2008 UP!).

Posted by: Iz~ 20th April 2015, 05:37 PM

Oh I think I will enjoy this round. I've been looking forward to going through Ukraine's entries again (how am I going to choose between Ruslana, Verka and Gravidee?) and Serbia are strong. Unsure about Germany and Macedonia from what I can see there but each of them do have their moments.

Posted by: Qassändra 20th April 2015, 05:46 PM

Ukraine have been OFF THE CHAIN

PREDICT

Germany: Satellite & Glorious (but if you can make Let's Get Happy happen then DO IT HUNZ)
Macedonia: 100% te ljubam & Ninanajna
Ukraine: Shady Lady & Wild Dances
Serbia: Molitva (Oro tho pls)

Posted by: Ryan. 20th April 2015, 05:48 PM

Hype for Mojot Svet and Sweet People please! The latter is so underrated, it was a fabulous performance that Alyosha did in Oslo. That said, Ukraine are so strong that I can see it easily getting lost amongst the others

Posted by: Conderella 20th April 2015, 07:26 PM

Oh OOPS this heat was supposed to have Iceland instead of Ukraine. Oh well I guess Yohanna can wait 4 weeks to qualify for the Semis.

Posted by: nickthenoodle 21st April 2015, 12:15 PM

Can we just put through five from Ukraine plz!

EDIT: Or 4 Ukraine, 1 Serbia <3!

Lena Katina's comments about Lou remain SO iconic *.*

"She looks like she has worn out more men in her life than we have vodka bottles. We would push her straight off the edge of the bed. In Russia we look after the blind and the elderly but we don't send them to Eurovision like the Germans."

(results shortly~)

Posted by: Conderella 27th April 2015, 09:47 AM

MCDQ01



Elena Risteska
'Ninanajna'

So you guys chose 2006's Ninanajna to qualify for the Semifinals. Did we all know that Elena JUST won that NF with ikonec Esma (and some guy (other boy toy of hers i guess~ what a hoe)) finishing 2nd. Well, now we do. Kaliopi also tried that year but came 6th. ANYWAY, Ninanajna came 12th in the contest tied with Croatia's own QoL Severina. Quite a mismatch there. The song is good but will it stand a chance against other more ikonec entrants and songs that are less 11th place material and more Loreen.

Posted by: Tom Kaymakoski 27th April 2015, 10:30 AM

Fuck thought I voted

Posted by: Conderella 27th April 2015, 11:14 AM

GMNQ01



Lena
'Satellite'

Duh. Lena was a runaway winner in 2010 with fabulous Satellite that captured everyone's attention months before the contest and on the very night of the Final. She managed a win despite the lack of theatrics, fireworks and dolla. Lena's quirky likeable personality and she managed to show everyone during her 3 minutes combined with a catchy simple song secured the win. Even maNga with their rockiness and girl robot and loudness and shit couldn't overshine Lena's charm. Buzzjack bought it all as well and since then she's been one of our favourite winners. Therefore it was pretty obvious Lena is a dead cert for the Semis. And maybe even the Final. Slay.

Posted by: Conderella 27th April 2015, 11:20 AM

GMNQ02



Lena
'Taken by a Stranger'

Well, let's match Helena's record of 2 out of 2. Only this time both songs were solo efforts. Lena's fabulous 2011 follow-up which finished 10th in the contest, advances to the Semifinals from Germany.

FUCK YOU ALL for not voting for the PERFECT 'Reise nach Jerusalem'. This song ALONE got the same amount of 12s as BOTH qualifiers TOGETHER.

Lena's songs received 187 points in total. But didn't Satellite landslide it?!



Utterly disappointed in you all who zeroed it. Demote gooddelta THIS INSTANT.

Posted by: Conderella 27th April 2015, 11:36 AM

SRBQ01



Jelena Tomašević & Bora Dugić
'Oro'

"i don't know her" - Jelena.

Another slightly controversial decision. Molitva finishes 2nd and joins the list of Eurovision winners who could not make it to the Semifinals alongside Charlotte Nilsson and Marie Flop'N. Ruslana is the only other winner left in this heat so we'll see if this list needs an update v soon.



Look at me and Qass have almost an identical ranking. His taste is getting much better, it seems. And look at all the guys finishing bottom. Oops. Milan too low though.

Posted by: Qassändra 27th April 2015, 11:52 AM

FUCKING KIDS!

Posted by: Conderella 27th April 2015, 11:55 AM

UKRQ01



Ruslana
'Wild Dances'

Yup, Ruslana has officially made it. Well, seeing she finished 4th in the last Super Eurovision, it was almost a given. Will the last spot belong to Shady Lady who WON the Super Eurovision I, Svetlana Loboda who got to 18th in the final in 2012 and 12th in the actual Eurovision or the more recent Buzzjack favourite Zlata Ognevich?

Heat 7 (Hungary, Ireland, Cyprus and Azerbaijan) coming today!

yay

Posted by: Ryan. 27th April 2015, 12:54 PM

Yay Karolina! I love 'Oro' but really disappointed 'Molitva' didn't make it, one of the best live performances I've seen. And there were plenty of better choices over Svetlana, but nearly all the Ukrainian entries were great.

Cyprus AND Azerbaijan in one heat, it's going to be so difficult!

Posted by: Umi 27th April 2015, 01:04 PM

I only just clicked on this thread randomly and was so devastated upon reading the voting deadline. Vaguely surprised/quite ecstatic that 'Taken By A Stranger' made it

Ukraine is horrible though. Like, there's no way only two entries should go through from there. Poor 'Shady Lady'

THIS NINETIES RACISM MUST END NOW

In FAIRNESS Oro is a very tasteful choice over Molitva - it's not like we had a CAROBAN WIN

However the rejection of everything before 2006 for Germany is UTTERLY UNFORGIVEABLE

To be fair most of the older entries will hold little or no special attatchement to many of the younger voters. Even I find it hard to judge a song I barely know from 1996 fairly against something I obsessed over and meant a huge amount to my life from 2002, 2009 or whatever.

That said, there are two or three songs from each of the 1996-1999 contests that have become all time favourites for me which I didn't know prior to following Eurovision religiously - Den Vilda, The Voice, Karleken Ar, All Out Of Luck and Diamond Of Night.

It's sort of subconscious ageism. I'm sure we wouldn't all be ranking the hits of the 60s particularly highly if this competition focused on ALL of the entries, regardless of how good they technically are. Touch My Fire is arguably nowhere near as good a song as I Belong by Kathy Kirby, but I expect Javine would win out in that duel due to familiarity and just basically appealing to the music tastes of more people.

Most of the entries of the 60s were UTTERLY DREADFUL though! I wasn't paying attention until about 2003 but that certainly doesn't stop you from recognising a total max track when you hear one *.*

So true. "I Belong" is classic.

Even on Eurovision forums not many peoples like old Eurovision and stick their mind on last 10-15 or 20 (in the best situation) years.

They lost so much good music.
