Elnur Huseynov - Hour of the wolf
We have our first repeat offender for 2015. I have to admit I like this song more than his last entry in Eurovision but then I did say of that song “ARGH! My Ears!!!! They're bleeding! ARGH! the noise! The pain! ARGH!”, so anything has got to be an improvement.
So what has Elnur done since we last saw him? Well he won The Voice in Turkey last year. It does not bode well for Turkey if they have to import singers to win their reality TV shows. It also makes me like Elnur a little less. I dislike repeat offenders enough, but I hate reality TV show winners.
This song sits in the top 10 with the bookmakers, but it is early days yet. The song goes well for commercial radio or as an ad for a luxury SUV. I can just see a champagne SUV driving through all kinds of terrain until it gets to the end of the ad where there is a couple embracing. The song is more useful than great, but it is not bad.
And now for the torture Elnur brought us with Samir in 2008. How did this qualify for the final?
