Apologies for the sound quality on this one, and apologizes for the sounds omitted from your speakers. I possibly should put a warning that if you have a dog, it might try to sing along to this song. it is that kind of pitch really.
This sounds like an Idol 'winners single' sung by someone who can actually sing. My only problem is the dancers... they looks kinda... creepy... stalkerish... I think the performance needs to be simplified and maybe one less stalker dancer and this could work. maybe keep a nice tight routine around her and when she hits the big notes for them all to fall to the ground and slowly come back around her in a less stalkerish manner. yeah... weird Georgian dancers
Hanne Sørvaag, who co-wrote this song, also co-wrote Norway's entry this year. Both of these songs should be more successful than her entry in 2008 for Germany which deservingly finished 23rd. either of the artists Hanne worked with this year has more talent that the four girls who represented Germany combined. and yes, she can write songs for more than one country in a year, it is only the performers ('artists') who are limited to one country per year.
For the history lesson, we go to 2007, but a special mention goes out to 2009, which Georgia... well they got a little political over... POLITICS IN EUROVISION NEVER!! first they were talking of boycotting because of the Russian 'Invasion' (see also "humanitarian effort to prevent Georgia 'Ethnically cleansing' two internal regions) of Georgia, then they confirmed they would enter and sent a song in that went 'We Don't want to put in, I just want to shoot him'. The French media noted this sounded like a slur on Putin, the Russian president, and eventually, 2 weeks before finalisation of entries, Georgia was informed that their act breeched the rules as it brought the event into disrepute. Georgia cried and screamed and blamed the Russians and refused to change their entry and were disqualified. Makes you wonder, with the song and dance that Georgia made about hating Russia, how many votes will they get from Russian and its former Soviet allies... at least Georgia has a Norwegian songwriter this year in an attempt to get someone to vote for them...
