Opinions
OK, I've been listening to these songs for a while and I have to say: I think Sweden is going to win. But I do love the UK, Romania, Switzerland, Greece, Cyprus and even Israel. So I think it'll be a close fight.
Too bad that our entry (Edsilia, Netherlands) is singing in Dutch.
ReplyDeleteEdsilia ended with a fourth place in 1998, with a Dutch song (Hemel en Aarde), but at the time you had to sing in your own country's language, right?
Yeah the rules changed in 1999. I have to say I've never been too impressed by the Dutch entries... :(
ReplyDeleteOh, well, I guess we will just have to pass on the Dutchies. (on the left hand side...)
ReplyDeleteKen... you've waited years to slip that into a conversation haven't you?
ReplyDeleteCyprus is the most likely one to win. A great electro-pop song by Evridiki, sung in French! Europeans, vote for Cyprus! 12 points to Cyprus, Chypre, Zypern!
ReplyDeletePortuguese and Norwegian musics have the same name.
ReplyDelete"Dança comigo" and "Anda bailar comigo": "come dancing with"!
I Don't like the portuguese song... We have better musics.
