November 24, 200816 yr 24. BJSCVI (24th in final): Sangria - Nox - Ébredj Fel! 22. BJSCX (14th in final): Sangria - Yelle - Ce Jeu Sangria had looked set to become a force to be reckoned with after consecutive 4th place finishes from Linda Kiraly (still to come) and Tata Young (:puke:)...their first entry was the brilliant ex-Hungarian ESC participants Nox with a stunning song which nobody other than me seemed to 'get', perhaps because it was sung in a different language...always a problem in this contest. A later song of theirs from French act Yelle is also here, what a brilliant and underrated entry, again, it should have finished top ten in the BJSCX final but it generally only got support from me and 'the indie posters'...and another honorary FSR Rontvia (and would have been Herzebanian) entry from Agnes Carlsson, brilliant pop song there! wuff :wub: 2 Sangrian entries already Tata Young (:puke:)<_< :angry: A later song of theirs from French act Yelle is also here, what a brilliant and underrated entry, again and again in a different language -_-
November 24, 200816 yr Author luckily I'm partial to foreign music :wub: I didn't like Tata really...I thought it sounded very dated and was overrated in this contest :cry: still we can't all like the same things! I do think Nox and Yelle should have both made their respective top fives
November 25, 200816 yr 17. BJSCIX (18th in final): Ojnoj - Twiins - I Don't Know Why Now I really love Ojnoj - but aren't these just the most cringeworthy twins ever!? I just cannot watch the video it's so disturbing :puke2:
November 25, 200816 yr Author Now I really love Ojnoj - but aren't these just the most cringeworthy twins ever!? I just cannot watch the video it's so disturbing :puke2: I like it :kink:
November 25, 200816 yr Author 15. BJSCXI (2nd in final): Nonsuch - Suzie McNeil - Lonely (Are You Coming Home?) BxqCyFNLQEs 14. BJSCV (1st in final): Eledan - tATu - Gomenasai aL6dsH_BYsI 13. BJSCVIII (9th in final): Triodpoplis - The Love Willows - A Day In My Life hZqdHwFEllc 12. BJSCX (16th in semi-final): Herzebania - Gigi d'Alessio - Non Mollare Mai 0YZ8SuHzZig 11. BJSCVIII (10th in final): Tapatilandia - Belanova - Rosa Pastel ylWpfylH3XQ finally, some of my favourites which actually did well in the contest! Suzie McNeil I wasn't sure about at first but the song defines grower, and after 5 or 6 listens I was hooked, definitely deserved second place in XI, even if it was at the expense of my own Pixie! Eledan thoroughly deserved their unexpected win in BJSCV...I obviously knew of tATu but had never heard Gomenasai before...beautiful song, I even downloaded it off iTunes, same with Suzie actually! And over to Tridopolis, a great nation who have gone again now, hopefully only temporarily because they have sent some lovely songs, The Love Willows' son absolutely excellent, a pop gem! Herzebania really deserved to qualify for the final of X but a balding Italian male was never going to do that well...brilliant song though, very much like one of my favourite Eurovision 2008 songs, Era Stupendo...and another foreign track at No.11, this one surprisingly did quite well, but it deserved it, Rosa Pastel is a breezy, uplifting pop song and one that crossed boundaries despite the language barrier...
November 25, 200816 yr :wub: Love Willows :wub: My 12 pointer in BJSCVIII, a well deserved top 10 finish
November 25, 200816 yr Now I really love Ojnoj - but aren't these just the most cringeworthy twins ever!? I just cannot watch the video it's so disturbing :puke2: Well play it, but don't watch the video and listen to the amazing-ness of that song! :heehee: LOVED the next 3 Rich :wub: Suzie McNeil is in my Top 5 BJSC songs :heart: - It's so Kelly Clarkson-esque :heart:

November 25, 200816 yr was it not turned down by KC lmao :lol: yeah, not good enough for Kelly, she was too busy releasing tripe like Never Again and Don't Waste Your Time to bother with amazing songs like Lonely :cry: I don't think it was because she disliked the song or anything. :lol: I think it was just because she was didn't write it, and she only wanted songs that she wrote on the album :unsure: you can hardly blame her for that though can ya? :P :lol:
