May 26, 201015 yr Boring 34 (10) Serbia: Milan Stanković - Ovo Je Balkan :o :o What are you on? I can appreciate why people would dislike OJB, but boring's the LAST adjective I would use to describe it :blink:
May 26, 201015 yr I won't update my rankings but it's hard to describe just how vastly Belgium and Armenia have grown on me in the past week :o I guess it will be seen in my next personal chart on Friday :P
May 26, 201015 yr Author What are you on? I can appreciate why people would dislike OJB, but boring's the LAST adjective I would use to describe it :blink: The answer is bolded. It's $h!tfully boring now.
May 27, 201015 yr I can't see why people don't like Eva Rivas? Honestly, It's a good song. She's a gorgeous woman. IMO obviously haha
May 27, 201015 yr Because it's such generic 'ethnic Eurovision by numbers' fare? I like it now but I really went off it for a while.
May 27, 201015 yr Apricot Stone was awesome in it's demo form, a potential winner, then the revamp basically cost them a victory.
May 27, 201015 yr Author Apricot Stone was indeed MUCH better in its demo form! Plus it's boring, Eva doesn't show any vocal amazingness... HUGE step down compared to 2008's entry and obviously Jan Jan. Well, this song is even worse than they had in 2007! :o
May 27, 201015 yr It's funny but I found it mediocre for a while... but love it now :wub: Not enough to vote, but enough to be pleased when it comes second by four points :kink:
May 27, 201015 yr It's funny but I found it mediocre for a while... but love it now :wub: Not enough to vote, but enough to be pleased when it comes second by four points :kink: Agree completely, it suddenly clicked for me this week after always having found it average before. The lyrics are ridiculous though :lol: I can't fathom why she's singing about that? It's poppy/generic enough to appeal to the west and ethnic enough to appeal to the east, a la Dum Tek Tek last year so I can see it coming 3rd/4th. I'd be shocked if it won though.

Hmm it's nowhere near as good as Dum Tek Tek though! I reckon mid to low top ten at best personally. However, we shall see after tonight's draw is made!

May 27, 201015 yr Hmm it's nowhere near as good as Dum Tek Tek though! I reckon mid to low top ten at best personally. However, we shall see after tonight's draw is made! I didn't care at all for Dum Tek Tek if I'm honest. Much preferred everything else that made top 5 last year and would have preferred to see Jade in 4th, she was only a few points behind :drama:
May 27, 201015 yr I didn't care at all for Dum Tek Tek if I'm honest. Much preferred everything else that made top 5 last year and would have preferred to see Jade in 4th, she was only a few points behind :drama: I know it was a shame the last couple of votes sealed fourth for Turkey tbh but mehhh. I do love Dum Tek Tek though...probably the song I still enjoy most to this day from last year's contest. Along with, bizarrely, The Balkan Girls. :lol:
May 27, 201015 yr I liked Dum Tek Tek, but I didn't love it. It was a hit in Japan though, that made me like it better :lol: By the way, Apricot Stone is about the national fruit of Armenia. They believe the apricot originates from Armenia, because it's called Prunus armeniaca in Lati. It's about keeping hold of your roots even when you leave your home. Just thought you'd like to know :kink:
