maNga - 'We Could Be the Same'
Listen to the crowd go off at the end of that song! Like a frog in a sock... or not... I guess the polite applause though is that this song deserves, I mean it is interesting... I am not saying it is good... it is a Eurovision song after-all, but it is interesting.
Turkey has had a history of pop, and when Sertab Erener won for Turkey, the song was best described as ethno-pop. two years ago, Turkey flirted with a rockier song and entered the contest as a favourite, only to lose to a drugged out Russian pop singer. As a result of the 7th in 2008, Turkey went back to Ethno-pop last year and came 4th. despite this they have gone rocky again... and again come in as a favourite.
as for the performance, I think the singer should have been a model, thats the only explanation I can find for him prancing forwards and backwards up and down the stage. very little left and right, just forwards and backwards. maybe he can learn side to side for Eurovision...
I have found the cmapest song I can find to post to represent Turkeys Eurovsion history. feel the power of the camp. 'Opera' by Çetin Alp and the Short Wave. I think this guy is the Turkish John Travolta. OMG, only Turkey, only 1983...
