February 25, 201015 yr 'hello woman' I love it :lol: you don't get stuff like this on the BBC! just a voiceover saying what's coming next :( The first hello woman ever is still a hello woman :wub:
February 25, 201015 yr Favorite spokesperson ever.....umm...the orgasming Azerbaijani woman in (2008?) was pretty funny. Let's just say any spokesperson who announces points for the UK. Certainly not Miss Shouty from Turkey
February 25, 201015 yr Oh here she is, doing her job :lol: http://img.nrk.no/img/271683.jpeg :lol: . She doesn't look quite so happy there :( I remember her saying something like "May I congratulate you on such a colourful and lively show" and then someone I was with said "It was almost as colourful and lively as that dress" :lol: I love the Turkish announcer too, the way she can never say Bosnia & Herzegovina makes me laugh. Oh, and that "One big big hello from Sarajevo" girl who messed up her scores in 2003 :lol: Comedy gold! Plus, you can't have the scoring without some woman sat in the middle of a tramline or a motorway :lol:

Shame my favorite spokesperson comes from the 'nil points year :cry:

Plus, you can't have the scoring without some woman sat in the middle of a tramline or a motorway :lol: Really? :lol: it's not like the presenters to be so cheeky, well apart from Ulrika to that Dutch woman :kink: the British Eurovision felt so different to all of the others, so much more atmosphere and fun in the audience, and it was actually funny rather than the usual 'tries to be funny but fails'. But maybe it's just because I am British and understand the humour! I loved the 2003 mess up, it was priceless, especially when she started again like she'd not done anything wrong :heehee: I never get why they show backgrounds of tramlines and roads in the background, is that really the most interesting thing in these countries :lol:
February 26, 201015 yr http://www.heyrick.co.uk/images/eurovision/2005/final/rnorway.jpeg Norway usally have the king's castle in the background, with Karl Johan's gate :D like you see in this picture :D

Ulrika and the Dutch woman was hilarious and Sakis also having a go at the dutch man in 2006 saying his phone number was 666 :lol: Renars in 2003 was great too, starting to get stroppy with her for restarting her votes too fast. Another funny thing with the scoring is the sun always seems to be setting in Estonia despite being midnight :lol:
February 26, 201015 yr Graham Norton noticed that, he said "The sun is just setting in Estonia". Greece always seem to have the Acropolis in the background, and the same old man reading the points, so Graham described them as "the two oldest things in Athens". I don't see the point in faking the background behind the spokesperson. The focus isn't meant to be on what's behind anyway
March 25, 201015 yr Author ESC version revamp of Je Ne Sais Quoi. Added some 'Clocks/I Need You Now/When Love Takes Over' broken piano chords to the melody, and some very obvious synths to the chorus. I LOVE it, much better than the already great, but completely generic, original for me :wub: It's now more This Is My Life (Iceland 2008, not Sweden 2010) than Hero, and it suits it I think. Destined to fail at ESC of course, but this is an ANTHEM! w6dpooV4tlQ
March 25, 201015 yr YES! I'm loving this - it'd probaby be my winner, but rich is right, it's destined to fail :( But the new(ish) version is epic! Love it!
March 25, 201015 yr I LOVE this new version too, and I was losing interest in it. They've cut out the final big note really obviously though :(
March 25, 201015 yr This is ok, but it's not really doing anything for me :P I can't see it threatening the top 15.
March 25, 201015 yr It's like someone took the spectacular synthy bit in JLS - One Shot (i.e. ALL THAT IT'S GOOD FOR), mixed it with When Love Takes Over, threw in some schlager and mixed it with This Is My Life (Iceland 2008). AMAZING.
March 25, 201015 yr It's going to take me a while to get used to it, as I loved the original version. However, I felt the same way when I heard the new versions of Euroband and Yohanna, and I grew to completely adore those. Hopefully the same will happen here, it certainly sounds like it has a bit more substance now anyway.
March 25, 201015 yr Author Still prefer the original of Is It True actually by Johanna Gudrun Jonsdottir (:wub:), but Euroband/Hera's ESC versions are much better than the originals for me :wub:
March 29, 201015 yr Oh god...this new version is so anthemic! Amazing!!! Absolutely love it...definitely going back up in my rankings now. :D
March 29, 201015 yr I am just the opposite! The new version is terrible. I feel nothing listening to it although i still rank it as a 'good' song tbh :drama:
April 20, 201015 yr LOL. Iceland is gonna get the biggest cheer when they perform in May. Some of the lyrics are quite apt. :lol:
