February 18, 201114 yr Author TBAS & PF to the super final. Crossing my fingers that PF gets the ticket.
February 18, 201114 yr I love both, but Taken By A Stranger would be my preferred choice slightly. That said, Push Forward is far longer than 3 minutes, so the ESC version could cut out that unnecessary key change and then it would be perfect.
February 18, 201114 yr Taken By A Stranger has won :w00t: and with 79% of the vote! Really unsure how it will do in ESC as it's definitely a risk but at least it shows that she's not a one trick pony and it's quite an 'exciting' entry in the way that it's like nothing you associate with Eurovision.
February 18, 201114 yr I get the feeling that a lot of people will just think it's a track that goes nowhere...and I have to say, I agree. Dull, dull, dull, and Push Forward would've been far better...
February 18, 201114 yr By far the most interesting track of the night. The other stuff was just Anna Bergendahl B-Side throwaway tracks tbh...

Dull, dull, dull, and Push Forward would've been far better... I hope not, because it definitely doesn't go nowhere imo, it's just incredibly subtle. I'm a little bit worried for it as subtle and Eurovision don't go together, you need an instant impact really...that said, it came across as quite special to me on first listen, so hopefully it will to the voting public/juries. Push Forward's a great song (even though it's finally clicked what the instrumental reminds me of - December Song by George Michael :mellow:) but not exactly an 'oh :o' moment, and the shoehorned in key change really adds a slightly tacky factor to it that it could do without, whereas this song might make her a talking point again, it will definitely stand out as being one of the more interesting songs on offer I think. It's just reminded me of the last time a song had this effect on me - subtle, inspired and risky, to me catchy and I absolutely LOVED it, yet a lot of people didn't get it and wrote it off as dull and nothingy - and that was 3 Words by Cheryl Cole :o

Not a good thing either, '3 Words' is the only Cheryl single I hate. I mostly agree with Tyron about TBAS. Sorry Lena, looks like I'll be supporting Stella (& a few other amazing still-to-be-selected singers) in Germany :(

February 18, 201114 yr *hands over crown* Anyone seen any good Stella gifs floating around? :drama: Thank you ^_^ Do you still regard Satellite as your favourite song of all time though, because that's massive! Nope. I typed in 'Stella Mwangi gifs' on Google and within the first 5 results was my personal chart. It certainly gets around :mellow:
February 19, 201114 yr Once again, another great entry from Germany :) This doesn't have the catchiness "Sattelite" had, but nevertheless, it's perhaps one of the most interesting and original songs chosen so far. I can't see Germany and Lena doing two in a row......but it's a shoe-in for the top 5.
February 19, 201114 yr Good News = new #1 album in Germany Taken By A Stranger = #1 on iTunes they still can't get enough of her! Poor Gaga's losing her hold at #1 in an awful lot of countries now :o The second time to a Eurovision entry!
