March 19, 201213 yr I can't believe I'm posting this but I actually quite like our entry this year. :o
March 19, 201213 yr Well, that was...unexpected. :o To think how we all mocked poor Englebert when the BBC announced he was going to represent the UK at Eurovision. Now almost everyone is on side and 'Love Will Set You Free' is good. Then again, we were never going to have Englebert doing the Russian Grannies Eurodance stomper were we? :kink: I reckon the UK are going to do well this year. :o (2nd behind Sweden please :D )
March 19, 201213 yr Anyway, this can literally go in any direction on the night. Gotta say he can certainly more than hold a tune for someone who is pushing 80 (eh Dionne Warwick?). The song is a zillion miles away from my thing, but it's not to say it's "shit".
March 19, 201213 yr Really?? :blink: Yes, really. I'm not a fan of her, her personality, attitude or her music (Real Things excepted)! As for Touch My Fire, it felt very off having an Eastern sounding pop song as our entry, like we were begging for votes having seen that that style of music was now the 'in thing'. Even taking the genre out of the equation, I didn't care for the melody much at all.
March 19, 201213 yr Does anyone know when the compilation CD is out (since all the entries are now conf'd :D)?

Even taking the genre out of the equation, I didn't care for the melody much at all. It was a little "try hard" agreed. But I thought it was a solid contender for a top ten position so when it bombed on the night I genuinely thought "IT"S POLITICAL! WE'LL NEVER DO WELL AGAIN!".
March 19, 201213 yr Does anyone know when the compilation CD is out (since all the entries are now conf'd :D)? They're not quite, San Marino had to change theirs because 'Facebook Uh Oh Oh' predctably fell foul of the rules :P They will present their song on Thursday.
March 19, 201213 yr It was a little "try hard" agreed. But I thought it was a solid contender for a top ten position so when it bombed on the night I genuinely thought "IT"S POLITICAL! WE'LL NEVER DO WELL AGAIN!". I didn't expect it to come anywhere near as low as it came but I can't say that I was distraught. It was upstaged by far better songs from similar genres, Greece's winner being the main one. It's no surprise that few people decided to vote for Touch My Fire when My Number One was competing, ultimately the stronger competition in that genre was Javine's downfall. Performing in the slot of death (2nd) didn't do her any favours either.
March 19, 201213 yr They're not quite, San Marino had to change theirs because 'Facebook Uh Oh Oh' predctably fell foul of the rules :P They will present their song on Thursday. Ahh forgot about that :P! It's usually sometime in March though, isn't it?
March 19, 201213 yr Nope, May. Amazong & HMV don't currently list it but eurovision.tv says the beginning of May.
March 19, 201213 yr ll Javine - Touch My Fire I remember Javine having a wardrobe malfunction ;) :o 7wpzyW0yO8A :heehee:
March 19, 201213 yr Author Nope, May. Amazong & HMV don't currently list it but eurovision.tv says the beginning of May. Yep it is usually 2 weeks or so before Eurovision week I think :)
March 19, 201213 yr I remember Javine having a wardrobe malfunction ;) :o :heehee: You dirty old man. :lol: You really are like the fella in Kylie's 'On A Night Like This' video, aren't ya? :D ** shudders **
March 19, 201213 yr You really are like the fella in Kylie's 'On A Night Like This' video, aren't ya? :D ** shudders ** He wishes that were him!
March 19, 201213 yr Performing in the slot of death (2nd) didn't do her any favours either. Yeah I've heard about the dreaded second place... now just watch Loreen perform second on the night and break the pattern! Edited March 19, 201213 yr by ScottyEm
March 19, 201213 yr I remember Javine having a wardrobe malfunction ;) :o 7wpzyW0yO8A :heehee: Ahhhh.... so that's why she won Song For Europe! Bet she felt a right tit!
March 19, 201213 yr I can't gauge how this will do on the voting, but Im almost certain this will win the juries. Might do a Jade Ewan and place 10th in the voting so I think we will come 3rd/ 4th
