November 7, 201411 yr Author Kicking off with 2007... QUALIFIER ONE: ?v=0ydRhwnwk-s You've got the studio version because the live version was taking too long to find, plus the video is actually pretty good! (also, it's better to forget that live performance ever existed oops).
November 7, 201411 yr That shit gets through?! Well, it can (probably) only go up from here. SHUSH 'Vampires Are Alive' is brilliantly trashy :heart:
November 7, 201411 yr Author QUALIFIER TWO: ?v=eYiAALe9MvM Qualifier number two is, IMHO, the best thing Cyprus have ever sent that despite this fact was cruelly rejected by Europe. Her eyes and how she uses them really bring this perf to life for me, Slayvridiki!
November 7, 201411 yr A Cypriot entry finally getting the qualification it deserves! :wub: Can we make sure Christina gets through too in 2009, such a beautiful song and performance.
November 7, 201411 yr I'm sure if we'd had the two semi final system in 2007, Cyprus would've sailed through and rightfully so!
November 7, 201411 yr Author QUALIFIER THREE: ?v=s1SQKzKAONs Familiar territory here for seasoned followers of Eurovision (we'll get to this song's similarly floppy cousin 'Quero Ser Tua' in a few weeks) in Portugal's 11th placer complete with superfluous samba stage left. As you do.
November 7, 201411 yr Not Portugal's best, but certainly worthy of a qualification in this dire semi.
November 7, 201411 yr Author QUALIFIER FOUR: ?v=Lcjf_25QjZY On a similar note to Portugal, Norway. Imagine in an alternative universe, where Geri Haliwell wins Strictly Come Dancing and then decides to release a cash in song with a salsa twist. This is that song. Decide for yourselves if that description means it's amazing or dire.
November 7, 201411 yr Out of what's realistic (I see you leaving Iceland alone you bad people), I would like any two of Estonia, Netherlands or Montenegro.
November 7, 201411 yr Author QUALIFIER FIVE: ?v=YeNevJOWt-o An oriental inspired number from Malta is our penultimate qualifier. Everything is well executed here, with the slight exception of Olivia's high notes but I'm willing to forgive those NOXical moments for the various fanographic moments. One spot left? Pretty sure it's Czech Republic's to lose but we press on...
November 7, 201411 yr Author QUALIFIER SIX: ?v=XYHQpbi5uxY Silly racist Eastern Europe not voting this through! Until recently Edsilia held the title of 'most recent hit' for the Dutch at Eurovision for her first entry in 1998 (which is also far better than this btw). So yeah, that's 2007. This was a mostly uncontested race from these 6 qualifiers with only one other song running them close. Now, we press on to 2008!
November 7, 201411 yr Author So, 2008... QUALIFIER ONE: ?v=IlUGHhQ3hOc And the Dutch make it a clean sweep in this week's results. I find this one a *touch* overrated in fan circles but still, G'WAN NETHERLANDS!
November 7, 201411 yr 12 Czech Republic: Kabát - Malá dáma 10 Denmark: DQ - Drama Queen 08 xx 07 Austria: Eric Papilaya - Get A Life - Get Alive 06 Andorra: Anonymous - Salvem el mon 05 xx 04 xx 03 xx 02 xx 01 xx
