February 20, 201213 yr Not surprised whatsoever at Romania qualifying, easily the best song of 2006 imo
February 20, 201213 yr Poor Texas Lightning! On the other hand I'm very surprised to see Lordi qualifying directly to the Final! Also, someone else gave 10 points to Amambanda? I think it's brilliant too! :D And how underrated is Las Ketchup's song? I agree it's not THAT immediate, but I far prefer it to Asereje. I guess it's of required taste, or maybe it's something cultural that makes me like it. It sounds exactly like being in a Spanish cafe at dawn drinking sagria would sound like! :D
February 23, 201213 yr It had better be Daz! :wub: Haters can pleasure themselves but Teenage Life was as good a novelty pop track as we'll ever find to enter. A glorious melodic fusion of Where Is The Love and the forgotten second Shanks & Bigfoot single Sing-A-Long fronted by a ridiculous cult figure in the UK cheese dance scene, also behind Bus Stop, Rikki & Daz and Uniting Nations. It was also clear that Daz cared more about Eurovision than the other nine acts we sent in the noughties combined, it was obvious that he was a huge fan of the contest and actually cared about his placing, so it was a shame to see him just scrape into the top 20. Absolutely adore Teenage Life, I don't even care that the performance looked ridiculous and he looked like any 30-something 'trying to relive his youth' rolling out of Liquid and Envy after a few too many, it all added to the charm. The song's slow climb into the UK top ten was great to see, it was a bonafide hit single - certainly it got quite a bit of support from UK music channels iirc, naturally radio didn't touch it but I'm not sure what Eurovision song they would touch, music snobs that they all are in this country (Radio 2 aside!). By some margin my favourite UK entry of the 00s, underrated to the max. Jonjo had better vote this time!Ugh. I'm so gutted I didn't vote in this one! Even if it was just to support Daz :( I doubt he would have made it through with my votes anyway (but Jahq said he liked it too and didn't vote, so maybe it could have AC'd instead?).
February 23, 201213 yr Author Even if you both gave Daz your 12's and nothing else to the rest, he'd still be 8 points short of qualifying to Andra Chansen.
