Hey everyone :)

 

I think lot of people is looking forward to watch Eurovision song contest 2009.. thanks to Dima Bilan and his song "Believe" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjGNdotSgDY or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bawnwSYOCFU) Eurovision 2009 will be in Moscow (Russia)..

all necessary information u can find on the official Eurovision website: http://www.eurovision.tv/ 

 

now let's share.. what you think, who has more chances to win? or at least what you think abt participant from your own country?..

 

this year Russia is represented by Anastasia Prihod'ko with a song "Mamo" ("mom" in ukranian).. actually i think she doesn't have any chances to win.. let's hope she'll get a place within top-10 =P

Uh.. I have not seen or listened the songs of this 2009 event! I usually follow Eurovision by TVE.

My last year favorite song was "My secret combination" by Kalomaira (Greece) and "Fire in your eyes" (Israel). I didn´t like the winner song ("Believe"), but people decided the winner, didn´t they?

yeah, "My secret combination" was/is a good song, but not not that one which should win in Eurovision.. just compare the lyrics of this song with Dima's one:

 

 Secret Combination

 sexy 100%

Can you see it?
Can you see it?
You have to discover me
What goes wrong when I am crying
Or what I want when I 'm smiling

Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
That I 'm not a little girl
You 're misunderstanding my way
And all the rules that I like to play

My secret combination
It 's a mystery for you
Use your imagination
I 'm not easy but I 'm true


My secret combination
Boy you have to try it hard
To win a destination
In the center of my heart

An open book
An open book
Well I 'm sorry, I am not
Sometimes I 'm acting like a lady
Sometimes woman, sometimes baby

My secret combination
It 's a mystery for you
Use your imagination
I 'm not easy but I 'm true

My secret combination
Boy you have to try it hard
To win a destination
In the center of my heart

 

and now Believe

 

Even when the thunder and storm begins

I'll be standing stong like a tree in the wind

Nothing is gonna move this mountain or change my direction
I'm falling off the sky and I'm all alone
The courage that's inside is gonna break my fall
Nothing is gonna dim my light within
But if I keep going on it will never be impossible
Not today.

Cause I got something to believe in
As long as I'm breathing
There is not a limit to what I can dream
Cause I got something to believe in
Mission to keep climbing
Nothing else can stop me if I just believe
And I believe in me.

Even when the world tries to pull me down
Tell me that I can't… try to turn me around
I wont let them put my fire out
But if I keep going on it will never be impossible
Not today

Cause I got something to believe in
As long as I'm breathing
There is not a limit to what I can dream
Cause I got something to believe in
Mission to keep climbing
Nothing else can stop me if I just believe
And I believe in me

I can do it all, open every door
Turn unthinkable to reality
You see I can do it all and more

Believing as long as I'm breathing
There is no limit to what I can dream
Believing mission to keep climbing
Nothing else can stop me if I just believe

And I believe in me. 

 

that girl just sang abt "how damn sexy i am, look at me – im mature".. 

and Dima sang abt important things which we need every day, such as belief in ourselves when we wanna get our dreams come true..

Pieter1992 If a good song win, I don't mind. But in the last 5 years?

I never ever seen that a nice song won!

 

hold on.. i think 2 years ago winner from Serbia - Marija Šerifović with a song "Molitva" was really cool.. but ok, that's my own subjective opinion =)

 

and of course almost all of us do know that Eurovision is a big game of politics.. neighbouring countries always support each other, and that's an obvious fact.. but what we usual people can do =) nothing.. just watch and guess whatta hell exactly this country won =P

I also think Peter is right!

if you check out for example

Spain:  Allways vote Portugal, france, and close countries!

Portugal: Allwas spain, and ukraine!

France :  Always germany, Belgium, etc!

why?

Because they are countries very close to it! so it makes them win!

I must tell you the truth!

Last year, Portugal had the best song of Eurovision that I ever heard! and we didnt win!

what about turkey? it had lost but just for few! and it had agood song!

i still dont understand…

the musics i've liked, not just those but others, they didnt win! =)

I must tell you and i'm sorry, but Russian song that won is awful! if i'm not in mistake 2 years ago music was better than this one!

Cheers!
