(My) Eurovision
For Eurovision this year-- well first of all, most of the songs were crap, but let's look past that!
The first song I listened to was Turkey's and Lithuania's.
They both pretty much sucked, but I decided to cheer for Turkey anyway. Now after comparing Turkey's song to all the others...yeah it was a good song. XD I can't believe Germany won. To put it bluntly, the song was shit. Excuse my language. I think Lena is the German Miley Cyrus or something.
ANY WAY! Here's my super awesome line-up:
First Place; Belgium, "Me and My Guitar" by Tom Dice. This song is so beautiful. <3 Seriously, it's like...cute and somewhat makes me want to cry and... I dunno it's just so wonderful. The image of Tom Dice standing up on stage with just him and his guitar...for some reason felt really crushing...and then after a few chords, the song creates a hopeful feeling. In the real competition, it won sixth place.
Tell me that I've got it wrong
Tell me everything will be okay
Before I fall
Tell me they'll play my songs
Tell me they'll sing the words I say
When darkness falls
All of the stars will see
Just me and my guitar
It's just a really nice song, different than all the other songs in the competition.
Second Place; Turkey, "We Could Be the Same" by MaNga. Ah, like I said before, compared to the other songs, this songs was spectacular. On a second listen it's actually a nice song. It still combines the traditional Turkish beats at some points, somewhat. It hints at it. The lyrics at some point make me cringe...actually just one line. But it is a nice song. I was thinking of making some sort of TurkeyxGreece thing with the song. It seems to fit them well somewhat...if they were trying to bond without the drama from their people.
See, politically, Turkey and Greece are just fine, but the people of both countries hate each other for the most part. Much like France and UK; the countries mostly agree on most things-- despite what Hetalia says. However, the people of both countries are in a bit of a rivalry. I haven't seen extremely horrible things between the French and the British, but I have seen horrible things with the Turks and the Greeks. Shows the difference huh? Any way, if that's the case I guess I can make it FrUK-brick'd-
And I feel I’m turning the page
And I feel the world is a stage
I don’t think the drama will stop
I don’t think they’ll give up the rage
But I know the world could be great
I can love you more than they hate
Doesn’t matter who they will blame
We can beat them at their own game
See what I mean? That actually very well may be what the song is about... some sort of Turkey and Greece thing... Oh! Plus...EmoTurk. XDD I DIDN'T KNOW THEY EXISTED BUT THEY DO. By the way, in the competition Turkey came in second place as well.
Third Place; Azerbajin A.K.A. "Turkey's retarded brother" >>;, "Drip Drop" by Safura. I like the song, but I don't. "You smell like lipsttttiiiiiiicccck". Fail. But it's...a catchy song I guess... I dunno, I love it but I don't. I think It's the somewhat catchy chorus. "That drip drop drip drop". Nn... What the song is about is something I couldn't give two balls about, yet...it makes me want to sing it... hm... Any way, it got fifth in the competition.
Can I love you forever through this?
Can I trust in you forever through this?
I don't know how to stop, how to stop
These teardrops Ah ah
That drip drop drip drop
Drip drop drip drop
Oh.. Oh...
That's the chorus. The rest of the lyrics are mediocre. The song is like one of those annoying KISS FM love songs that play all the time on repeat. It seems like it's aiming towards teenagers that happen to be too young for such silly things. Gosh. Yet I like it. I'm a fool.
Fourth Place; Slovakia, "Horehronie" by Kristina. The chick kinda freaks me out but eh. This song is in its native language, and it sounds very pretty. The singer has a somewhat childish voice that goes well with this song. It gives it a creepy vibe that I like. <3 This song didn't even rank in the finals sadly. It was way better than some of the stupid piece of crap songs entered in the competition.
Najkrajšie stromy sú na Horehroní (The most beautiful trees are in Horehronie)
to tiché bratstvo vraví mi poď. (This tells me the silent brotherhood come.)
Sem sa vždy vrátim, (This will always come back,)
keď ma niečo zroní. (it saddens me somewhat.)
Vravia to stromy ..... (They say the trees .....)
Na tráve ležím a snívam, (I lay on the grass and dream,)
o čom sama neviem. (I do not know what does.)
V tom vánku,čo ma kolíše, (In the breeze, which has increased,)
keď je slnko najnižšie. (when the sun is low.)
I wish I had a better translation too, but it wouldn't sound cool in English. It's a song on nature. Pretty right? <3
Fifth Place; Israel, "Milim" by Harel Skaat. The song is very wonderful. Very strong emotions are sent through the song, which is accompanied by instrumentals which are just as strong. Everything goes along very well, but people these days want disorder, which is why Israel may have gotten 14th in the competition. Then again, it wasn't the best song ever. I think a lot of the voters watch Eurovision for a nice little spirit rush and joy, and when they hear deep songs, even if they're amazing, they tend to kind of block it out. Also because Eurovision has always been a bit political, and for the record, not many like Israel. They've got too much crap for them. I'm sure they used every excuse and then some for Israel not to be in Eurovision-- Turkey and other "Middle Eastern" countries as well, but they all got through with their, " Heeeey guys! What's up? I wanna play toooooo!" Heh. Any way, the song was very nice. <3 Oh! This song is also in its respective language.
Hish'art li rak milim, miklat bein hatzlalim You left me only words, shelter between the shadows Sfarim mesudarim, uvein hakhadarim Tidy books, and between the rooms Hish'art li rak milim, zer shel man'ulim You left me only words, wreath of locks Elohim, hish'art li rak milim Oh God, you left me only words
Such a pretty song, in my opinion at least. 14th?! OH COME ON! THIS WAS WAAAAY BETTER THAN GERMANY AND THEIR CRAP!
Sixth Place; Portugal, "Há Dias Assim" by Filipa Azevedo. Another pretty song in the singer's native language. Pretty "eh" parts every now and then, but this was still amazing. <3 I loved Portugal's entry from last year as well so I was really expecting something sweet, and I got it. :'D Once again, an underatted performance-- ALL THE PERFORMANCES ARE UNDERATTED UNDER GERMANY! I MEAN GOSH! *ahem* So any way, the song is really precious and all that jazz. Oh right, it ranked 18. That's such bull. Well...she should hold her notes a bit longer. I was noticing how some potentially beautiful long notes were cut off and replaced with an empty echo. That echo breaks my heart so badly...maybe that was it.
Há uma canção There is a song Que não te cantei Which I have not sung to you Versos por rimar Verses that are still to rhyme Poemas que nunca inventei Poems that I have never invented Quem nos pôs assim? Who set us this way? A vida rasgada The life torn Quem te me levou? Who took you from me? Roubou-me a alma Stole my soul Mas de ti não sabe nada But does not know a thing about you
See? Beautiful!~
Seventh Place; Spain, "Algo Pequeñito (Something Tiny)" by Daniel Diges. Yes, you caught me. XD I'm upping this because of the stage invader. XD That was hilarious, I'm sorry. <33 I think everyone was very professional about dealing with the invader too. ABOUT THE SONG! I liked the creepiness. It was cute and creepy~ Everything was pretty much wonderful. I'd have to say, after Spain's fail entries from the past years, this makes it all better, mostly because of the stage invader. XD BUT IT REALLY WAS A NICE SONG! Spain got 15th place in the competition.
Something tiny, whoa... something very small, whoa...
You've got the chance in your hands
Today you decide whether to love me or break my heart
I bet they're actually talking about genitals or something. Something tiny. :U -brick'd like a million times- I CAN'T MAKE THIS SONG MORE HORRID THAN IT IS BECAUSE OF STAGE INVADER!
Eighth Place; UK, "Some Piece of crap song" "That Sounds Good to Me" by Josh Dubovie. The alternate title to this is, "That Sounds Like Shit To Me". I personally like it but um... "Actually, this is really nice. Yes, it's a bit cheesy. Yes, the background singers sound off at times, hitting depressing sounding chords even. And yes, Josh kind of fails at high notes. But this was actually kind of good. I liked it at least."~ Me on the Youtubes. That sums it up. But yeah, the background singers, I quote, "fucked everything up". There's so much "shit" on this song that I can't help but laugh. And you know what? Even this song is way better than Geramny's song.
It ranked 25th place-- THAT'S LAST PLACE IN THE FINALS BY THE WAY. So yeah, UK should have been atleast above Germany.
Baby, if you bring the sunshine, I’ll bring the good times
Just add your laughter, it’s happy-ever-after
I don’t know about you but that sounds good to me
Sounds cute right? Nice and cheery? Well Europe doen't want nice and cheery apparently. Bastards. XD
Ninth Place; WTF WHY DID I PUT BELARUS HERE?! CAN YOU SAY MISTAKE?! -replaces with Georgia- This song was beautiful-- oh wait! Georgia, "Shine" by Sofia Nizharadze. Very wonderful song that won ninth place in the competition-- OH PFFT. ANY WAY This should be higher up on my list but I had forgotten about it.
You’re on your own but you’re never alone
Shine, shine like the stars in the sky
Wipe your dust off your love, let it shine
*cough* It kind of sounds like Latvia's song that didn't make it to the finals last year. =A= But it's pretty. -nods-
I need to sleep.
10th goes to Belarus. Have fun with your butterflies.
OH! Germany's song!
Like... last place or somewhere close; Germany, "Satellite" by Lena, some piece of crap singer who--UGH!
Her voice sounds like nails hitting glass and making it shatter plus some sort of frog cat hybrid...plus parrot. Dear God. I don't know. I seriously thought they were kidding when Germany was declared as the winner. Her dancing is atrocious but I'll put that aside because she's somewhat cuteish so it looks like she's having a seizure while singing. Any way, the song is pretty much about a stalker...or that's what I assume. The song is like...something you would hear on Radio Disney. Apparently, this song DOES happen to be popular with little kids or something. A lot of people believe that a lot of kids or their parents voted for it. Kids and their hacking. =A= The song is seriously crap. It may have been better if there was no weird ugly accent that makes you twitch.
Kay whatever.

I just wasted my night. Copy right everywhere~ Excuse typos. It's 5:15 AM.
