I'm curious how italians choose their song?

 

Is is from Sanremo?

 

or that would be considered as insult :lol:

God, isn't that video just the epitome of cringe? :( I'm sure even *I* could've done a better job than that!

It's horrendous, I think the combined budget of promo videos for all of the noughties UK ESC entries came to approximately £1000. See Lindsay D's No Dream Impossible for something even more cheap looking :drama:

Final participants list has 43 countries, Slovakia don't seem to be withdrawing afterall. Four returns, and joint highest participation level :w00t: Italy is also officially confirmed to be part of a big-5.

Wow, Italy in Eurovision. First time on my shift :wub:

Having Italy back is great. San Marino and Austria returning = amaze. <3

We now need Andorra and Luxembourg back :)

Hungary have confirmed that they are returning. So Austria, Hungary, Italy & San Marino are all returning, Slovakia are withdrawing and Montenegro won't be returning, neither are Andorra, Czech Republic or Monaco. 42 countries, I expect that will be the final number as we should've heard about any other changes by now.

Slovakia have confirmed to :)

 

RE: Sorry, I didn't see your last post :P

I think I had a dream that the Eurovision was on last night...

 

For some reason it was being hosted by Hera Bjork in Germany...:S

-_-

 

LENA will host the Eurovision, she will open the show with Satellite, sing her 2011 entry, provide the interval act by singing a medley of songs from her new album, speak to the vote announcers across Europe and then reprise her winning entry as she soars to victory once again in the Lena Shrine Eurovision Song Contest 2011 :cheer:

Weird rumour going around at the moment, that Shy'M will be France's entrant in ESC2011 :o

 

 

Not with this song obviously. but she would be a great choice for them, I don't think it will happen though :(

That would be great, I love Je Sais! Anybody heard this yet? A confirmed Melodifestivalen 2011 reject...Christer says NO to Schlager once again :( Nobody does it quite like the old bags do they;

 

 

It's up there with Show Me Heaven imo :o

That would be great, I have liked all her recent singles, Je Suis Moi being my favourite :wub: .

That sounds awesome, but it would have bombed at Eurovision sadly :( . Still, there'll no doubt be at least 5 songs in MF this year that should not be there over Lili & Susie.

 

 

On a separate note, the Maltese selection this year is looking rather poptastic. A lot of the usual suspects are there, including both Fabrizio and Claudia Faniello, and there's 4 Gerard James Borg written entries :D

 

Oh, and Slovakia have confirmed they are withdrawing :(

Malta does look promising... have any of their songs been heard yet?

 

Anyway, this song from the Estonian NF >>>>>>>>>>> Hold It Against Me :kink:

 

 

And yes I am claiming this for BJSC when it inevitably comes 7th :P

30ROCK! <3

Decent catchy song, can't say I prefer it to Britney.

 

And whilst we're on the subject of Britney's new song and ESC links (not wanting to post this in her forum for fear of getting lynched), does the chorus melody sound like a pop version of Heat's 1000 Miles to anybody else? :lol:

As far as I'm aware, none of the Maltese entries have been heard.

 

I prefer the Mimicry entry in the Estonian NF myself, but the one you posted is pretty good - it's got a Kerli vibe to it.

Actually it's the spiritual successor to Music Everywhere :kink: I haven't heard Mimicry - the one I really don't want is the Nukkuuuoooo or whatever, acapella boyband one :puke2:

I can definitely see what you're saying there, it's got a similar energy in the chorus.

 

But fancy implying that anything is better than the new Britney song, mere hours after its leaked (and everyone else has judging by the reactions to it on here :lol:) Bye Katy Perry, you've just been replaced in BJ's top 3 artists of choice by Dame Spears. It would take a LOT to dismantle Rihanna or GaGa from their thrones after all!

Tru dat :lol: The chart thread has gone haywaire tbh, you can't say anything negative about Britney, I think this is the last refuge :ph34r:

 

Hold It Against Me sounds fine (not that i've heard it at the right pitch yet), but I don't really think it's the second coming? :unsure: Born This Way might just be tho :kink:
