passionpopIt is bad enough in Eurovision all the voting has to be done in French and English, but to have so many songs sung in French too! I think it all sounds wanky, but I guess if it is the native language... anyway here is my review on Belgium, Nuno Resende, "The big night"
(unrelated song of the evening) Bedlam in Belgium Acca Dacca (AC/DC to the uninitiated)
The blood in my veins
Was running right through my brain
There was a cop with a gun
Who was running around insane
Three fifty arrests
No bullet proof vest
Now ain't that a shame
We wanted to play
Play for the crowd
"No", said the wankers
"You're on your way out"
Bedlam in Belgium
Bedlam in Belgium
wank and Belgium seem to go together... even AC/DC think so. Anyway Back to Eurovision. If you like boring European balads, go this song. if not, well sucks to be you, don't watch Eurovision, or atleast avoid Nuno Resende, "The big night"
Belguim make great chocolate, but shit Eurovision Songs. Belguim have only won Eurovision once in 1986. this was back in the "all things french but not french is good" phase of the 80's (you may remember Celine Dion won for Switzerland 2 years later... or you might have blocked that out of your memory) anyway this years Eurovision entry shows that Begium should stick to chocolate. The big NIght out... yeah get out to avoid Nuno Resende

Ce soir, tous ces regards
Là dans le noir
La peur et l’espoir
Ce soir, il n’est pas trop tard
de croire
Aux rêves de gloire
Ce soir, une lumière, dans un éclair, changer d’histoire
Ce soir, je l’ai prié, je l’attendais, le grand soir
Ce soir, le souffle court
L’enjeu est lourd
Ne pas decevoir
Ce soir, changer de trottoir
Ce soir
Un nouveau départ
Et voir, toute sa vie, tous ses amis, en un regard
Ce soir, je fais un voeu, je veux pour eux, le grand soir
Ce soir, on oublie tout
Les mauvais coups
Les nuits de brouillard
Ce soir, c’est un autre jour
Ce soir c’est enfin mon tour
D’avoir, comme un dimanche, une revanche, et le pouvoir
Ce soir, de l’appeller, de le chanter, le grand soir
le grand soir

"THE BIG NIGHT"
tonight, all of those eyes, there in the dark, my fears and my hopes
tonight, maybe not too late to try (to) get out of my shade
a light, out from the storm, music and words will change the world
a night that I've been praying (for), that I've been waiting (for), the big night
tonight, the breath is short, the game is tuff, vanish or reach the top (I'm waited at the top)
tonight, I'll cross the lonely street and walk to be in history (the side of history/in a new story)
and sing watching the eyes of all my friends, of all my life
tonight I make a wish, wish I could share with them the big night
tonight I dry my tears, bad memories, the sad and the dark
'cause now, I know that I've learned, and now, at last it's my turn
to fly up in the sky, among the stars that shining bright
tonight it will be yours, it will be mine, the big night
