I guess they have got plenty of time to host the 2nd national final after the 10th of february...lol..!
Anyway I do hope for transparency at least this year...A good song like in 2010 would be welcome as well though..

@Roselil
that's nice to hear about that song, my mum always sings it (to my Dad who is not so well these days but he likes to listen to those songs!)when she is a good mood, a few songs she sings in Danish these days, another one I will try to remember...?!, she sometimes sings...damn it!!

@paul cl
:) "national anthem" No I dont think you should think like this but it's still sweet song with nice lyrics and its possible to hear this song still around, even some at the night clubs :) (those I visited) I was singing this song myself when I was little girl.. well when you drink you always sing a song that has easy and nice lyrics and the "danse i måneskin" is one of these kind of songs :)

@Roselil
you are right I should do the same, I opted out that song as my toilet break thinking it would be awful...maybe it wasn't so bad..will have to check it out again
re Danish issues, is the following song such a famous song there in Denmark?, my mother (she is half Danish!), is always singing that one, she told me for Danes it's kind of a "national anthem", and any Danish family of mine who visit me are always singing it whenever I mention ESC! (plus other beer drinking Danish songs!!)

I liked the scandal in 2010, about 2011 I should re-listen to the song without paying attention to any sand, maybe I will understand the song!

so far 2010 is the only favorite song coming from Ukraine.

Ukraine is one of my favorite countrties in ESC.


@ M B

it is not the right place to talk about politics but click here (yes, wikipedia is not neutral either). that explains my decision quite well. let us leave it with this (at least here).

Yes I agree with you!

But I found in your profile this:

´1979 (Jerusalem, Palaestina | Jerusalem, Palestine)´

Im afraid because of that...why you didnt write Israel, but Palestine? :( :(

OMG..I can't believe how naive I am :)Now everything makes sense :D
Dobrodosli my love (K)


@ M B

:). I am looking forward to their national final. apart from the passionate production of melodifestivalen it was the only pre-selection show I enjoyed last season. and mika newton's song even was my favourite as it was in russian. moreover, I appreciated the broadcasting with english commentators for us fans very much. pity about the 'scandal' though.

Yeah I know, I heard it in Ukrainian NF..
Do you know who I am? ;) Don't say it "loudly"! ;)


@ M B

Hope there won't be any scandals regarding inside corruption in the ukrainian national final like in 2010 and 2011... We want Ukraine's big shows for their representative, like in 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. Not boring ballads like the ones in 2010 and 2011. Good luck!

as for Ukrania 2011...not only the song was boring to death but also the sand painting was out of date!It was a pure torture for me and I got even madder when I remembered the songs in their NF.

adarvus
You are correct,she is hell of a performer :)Either Hande or Atiye will represent Turkey and we are all fine with them...(no rock this year,hurrahhhhhhh :D)
