Yay, thanks ^_^

I voted already and I have to say it was an insanely strong final :o

Just heard the FSR Rontvia song and was so disappointed to find it's just a Turkish version of this:

 

 

RedOne banger back in the day was nearly an entry of mine back in 2012! The Yasar Gaga version just sounds like a fake cover version released to iTunes early to me :(

 

also been covered by Marc Anthony in salsa style <3

 

Anyone fancy a listen through tomorrow?

Omg yes please, finally one I can be at

Well I'm gonna listen through tomorrow from around 8pm because it's my only free evening this week. RIP but feel free to join me if you're free too peops.

 

Time is non-negotiable, be there or don't x

stuck up bitch of the site tbh

I've been spending too much time chatting to Jade and Sam -_-

Indeed, we've been discussing this in my national thread though I'd never heard of the Khaled original before it was pointed out, nor did I realise it was a cover!

 

But having now heard both I wayyyyyy prefer the Yasar Gaga version! The production is much better for me, makes it sound almost like a World Cup anthem with the extra percussion and I adore the sax <3

I'll be there as well :wub:

I think I'll be able to make it if it's tomorrow. Good call there, Ben!

I might miss the start tomorrow but shall show up as soon as I can!

It's only finalists night :kink: joking ;)

Coincidentally I had another Khaled song as a potential for this contest. It made me think 'C'est La Vie' would be a great entry had it not been such a hit already, so I'm happy to see there's another version out there!

 

Might miss the start because of work, but I'll definitely be there tomorrow!

Thanks for sending Bhangra through, and thanks also for my holiday voting approval! Currently in Peru so internet isn't a guarantee either!

Vøted!

I think I'm just so used to the Khaled version that it's hard to accept any variation! Plus I have thunk the French/Arabic language combo sounds nicer than Turkish to my ears.
