AHHH They leaked and i'm having 0 strength to listen :lol: Seriously, i've been talking to a friend for more than an hour on telephone, so f***ing exhausted LOL. I meant considering you know what songs i usually like, Rich, could you say i would like a couple? :kink:

I think you'll like the first two more than the last three, probably the second one would be your favourite due to its traditional influences :P

Bosnia-Herzegovina goes with Vukašin Brajić

Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina - Bosnia and Herzegovina has decided to go with Vukašin Brajić for the Eurovision Song Contest this year, their national broadcaster BHRT announced today.

Today the professional jury for the Bosnia-Herzegovina national selection, BH Eurosong 2010, decided on Vukašin Brajić and his song Munja I Grom (Lightning And Thunder). The composer of the song is Dino Šaran, a famous Bosnia-Herzegovina composer and frontman of the popular rock band Letu Štuke.

The first public performance of the entry will take place on 7th of March, in a special program called BH Eurosong 2010 on BHT1.

 

EXCITED <3

I'm listening through the songs of Icelandic second semi. Nothing is even remotely as good as You Are The One is there. :(

One More Day is good <3 MUCH better than anything else there imo. The voice is so charming, love the electric guitars in the end. :wub: The first chorus kick starts the epicness of this song, the song (tone, 'drama factor' etc if you know what i mean) grows after it. Still, not better or even as good as the perfection You Are The One which is very high on here :kink:

Let's have a quiz!

 

What do Switzerland, Bulgaria, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Israel & Ukraine all have in common.

 

CLUE: Albania is like the opposite of what they have in common. Figure it out, and you'll understand what I mean ;)

they are sending male artists to Eurovision this year!

they are sending male artists to Eurovision this year!

 

CORRECT! You win...the glory of being the winner of my 1-question quiz :P

 

Seven artists are confirmed, six of whom are male :o Is there a record for amount of males at ESC in one year? Always seems to be female dominated, but I guess more countries are thinking "Well, we've had two male winners in a row, one of which made lots of records".

 

We should be expecting loads of females soon then :heehee:

even Sweden will probably go male...Darin and Peter Joback are surely the favourites and then Eric Saade has a Kempe song...

NMGP also has only one female so far :heehee:

NMGP also has only one female so far :heehee:

 

But I reckon that one female (Maria) or Mira will win.

iTunes update? Is Bjorn still #1?

 

clips from MGP semi 2 are out; my views on them -

 

Venke Knutson – Jealous Cause I Love You - sounds very promising, owes a lot to the 2008 soul pop boom which the UK's Revelations should have capitalised on two years ago :( instead we sent the dancing disco dad and came last...looking forward to the rest 8.5/10

 

Skanksters – Life is Here Today - hearing Norwegians sing Madness style Ska is very odd indeed...the singer even appears to have acquired a cockney accent...sounds like House Of Fun :lol: am quite intrigued to hear this in full 7.5/10

 

Tomine Harket – Be Good To Me - a ballad - sounds gorgeous from the clip but maybe a bit too slow - need to hear the whole thing 8/10

 

Hanne Haugsand – Don't Stop - hmm...very dated sounding pop song - not overly exciting sounding 7/10

 

Maria Arredondo – The Touch - another ballad, ok chorus but again need to hear the full thing 7.5/10

 

Heine Totland – The Best of Me is You - cringe...this would be an Andy Abraham result for Norway 3/10

 

Alexander Stenerud – Give It To Me - sounds interesting from the clip, he has a strong voice - I recall him from coming 3rd last year...8/10

Denmark reveals song titles and candidates

 

Bryan Rice - Breathing

Joakim Tranberg - All About A Girl

MariaMatilde Band - Panik!

Simone - How Will I Know

Jens Marni - Gloria

Chanée & N'evergreen - In A Moment Like This

Kaya Brüel - Only Tonight

Thomas Barsøe - Just Like Rain

Sukkerchok - Kæmper For Kærlighed

Silas & Kat - Come Come Run Away

 

Sukkerchock have only one of the two (if Panik counts) Danish language songs it seems! :o

I've really got my fingers crossed for Sukkerchok's song, Det Det was amazing :wub: Also it was my first top 5 in BJSC.. kind of :kink:

So looking forward to DMGP, I loved all 10 songs last year...though I feel they still sent the worst :kink:

 

And Sukkerchok! :w00t: "Det Det" should have gone to Moscow, so I hope they make it to Oslo this year. Their song will be amazing :wub:

I quite liked all of them :wub:

 

but I don't see the winning song yet, I think the winning song will be revealed in Skien, I think I will go as I only live 40 mins from there

You keep saying that :P But I only live half an hour from the BBC studios, so maybe I will go to Your Country Needs You :wub:

it's not like you can just turn up to these things and go straight in :P if only it was so easy!
