Eurovision Review: Turkey

[passionpop]

You have to love the ethnenticity of Eurovision...is that even a word... infact is anything in the Turkish entries lyrics actually words. I don't know but I have just heard Gülseren - "Rimi rimi ley"

(unrelated song of the evening) Cold Turkey (various) Beatles
My eyes are wide open
Can’t get to sleep
One thing I’m sure of
I’m in at the deep freeze

Cold turkey has got me on the run
Cold turkey has got me on the run

I am sure the turkish should be offended by that, but I dont care. they should also be offended by their entry into Eurovision, I know I am. I know getting a bit of culture into you is a good thing and I know Turkey won 2 years ago with Sertab and a bit of turkish culture infused pop, but this year entry has too much culture and not enough pop. Maybe if they do the english version it wont sound as bad. yeah I know it sounds ignorant but really I cant stand this whiney nonsence

There are better acts in theis years Eurovision (yes that comes as a surprise to me too) and they have more chance to win than this does. next year maybe turkey should send in a frozen bird rather than Gülseren - "Rimi rimi ley"

From afar
Calling from afar

Çok seviyordu seni kalbim…

Sonunda yine beni mahvedensin,
Kader, zalimsin!...
