F**k. Really. :cry: I'm so in love with Kismet. F**k.

Wow! It sounds like 1968... very nice, very special. I like it.

WTF??? :puke2: Seriously??? The WORST entry so far!

I'm addicted! :yahoo: Okay, the beginning is really weird, but from 1:53 the song is killing me! It reminds me of Matrix Reloaded, as the peole of Zion danced around after Morpheus' speech, a big house or goa party! Great! Maybe it's not a classic song for the ESC and maybe it won't go through the semi-finale, but to me it's the surprise or the kick I was waiting for this year. KISMET :wub:

(00) (00) Belarus: Alyona Lanskaya - Solayoh 28. (23) (17) Latvia: PeR - Here We Go I will go with Bonnie even if her song is not THAT stunning. The Bulgarian entry is weird and addictive at the same time. Maybe a contender for my personal favorite. The Hungarian song is nice, but the singer wasn’t that good, so… hmmm… don’t know. The new song from Belarus is as bad as the first one. Still the last 5 songs are… meh! :puke2:

This song is a little bit haunting to me, not really bad, a little trashy, the beat is nice, also a nice melody... and yeah: I like it! :dance:

Bonnie :heart: Thumbs up! But the song is average imo. Not too bad but not as powerful and great as her hits from the 80s (where she always will be remembered for). It's more like her 90s stuff... :wacko: But because of this years lack of competition Bonnie will be my favorite! Yeah, I've found my favorite! :cheer:

By the way: CR of Glorious in the German charts: 36-6-23. Not THAT impressive, at leat one week inside the top 20. Last year Roman Lob entered the charts at No.3, than fell down very quickly but climbed back to No.11 after the ESC (and his 8th place). Still don't like Glorious but I think that Cascada is a good choice as an ESC-contestant.

I don't know either! :lol: And I can't explain it in a better way.

I thought that he would never ever get another hit again, whether a No.1 or a top 10 hit because of his bad behaviour and the bad press. It surprised me that people bought his records so that he got his first UK No.1. I thought that his career was ruined forever.

Nevertheless it was a surprise to me.

I was surprised and mainly shocked that Chris Brown got a No.1 with "Turn up the music" in 2012. I thought that his career was justifiably ruined <_<

It must be 1998 because of Guildo Horn representing Germany that year. He changed the ESC for the Germans after several years of less interest (and less success :D ).

"Kids" by Kylie & Robbie. What a perfect combination and also the song is great - but they never got that No.1... :angry:
