passionpopOMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! this is the last one... can you believe it. the pain is almost over
Switzerland
wins: 1956, 1988
expected place. borderline. something tells me iot should qualify but wont
highlights
it kinda sounds 80's
lowlights
it kinda sounds like a depeche mode rip off or something
Switzerland - Lovebugs 'The Highest Heights' (official video clip)
the are described in their bio as 'britpop'... I would say more 'New romantics' from this song. this isnt a bad thing and it isnt that I dont particularly like it, it is just... I have heard it, or stuff like it, for about 2 and a half decades. it is so... done...
Laser lights. they assist in the retro-ness of this song.... it is either a retro 80's clip or it is this years Australia day fire works in Perth, either way it is a bit behind the times. but then since 2003, Eurovision has claimed that the 80's are coming back, and I thought that was just in Estonia.
if is chilly tonight, even in the slanket, and so to finish this final review of 2009, this could qualify, it might not. europeans do some strange things. I wish i could review it from a live performance (other than the eurovision rehearsal) but based on the clip, it is 50/50.
Ghost of Eurovision past: Lys Assia 'Refrain' - 1956. finishing up where it all began. Switzerland were the first country to host Eurovision and the first to win. This song could be from a 1940 film, instead it is from a 1950s TV event. go eurovision!
