Eurovision review: Azerbaïjan
Apr. 18th, 2011 10:50 amAzerbaijan have a lot gong for them in Eurovison and Europe. they have oil and they do well in Eurovision and they have oil and they want tourists and they have oil and it is a former Soviet nation and they have oil. did I mention Azerbaijan has oil... watch out for America guys...
I haven't referred to anything as Disney, but Azerbaijan is trying to be very Disney. The are not at the level of Disney crap that have been in previous Eurovisions, but they are quite Disney... maybe they are sending Disney because they know what America does to countries with oil and they are trying to show that they are friendly
This clip looks slightly less stalker-ish than the other official clip but it doesn't improve the song. I think it will do well only because there is more dance-pop than ballad pop this year, so ti will qualify, for the final but wont get far beyond that, I mean it is not that good.
I would *never* accuse Eurovision voting of being political, but Azerbaijan has a habit of finishing better than they possibly should. I am not saying that it is the oil, but if Elnur & Samir can finish 8th, this song could finish anywhere. The bookies have this at 16/1, so 7th from the top, and if it qualifies for the final it will go up. That does make me cringe alittle.
Azerbaijan got their best result of 3rd n 2009 in their second Eurovision. 3rd sounds good, but they got 207 points out of a possible maximum of 504 and finished 180 points behind first. though if this song had won, it would have been the oil
