I am ever so excited about this Saturday's Grand Final of the contest due to be held in Belgrade, Serbia. I may miss this competition though, due to the fact that mak & Avang will be travelling into Belgium/ Germany area BUT hopefully we can still watch it one way or another!
In particular, I am very very keen on this song by Charlotte Perrelli called Hero representing Sweden. She (was with the name Charlotte Nillsson) already represented Sweden in 1999 with the song Take Me To Your Heaven and won the contest! Watch the video...read the lyrics...it's such a great upbeat pop song. Hope you like it too!
(I do like Ukraine's entry too)
Everything has a beginning
Everything comes to an end
Take it or leave it, you better believe it
Be my lover, be my friend
Try to deny what you’re feeling
And you know that your heart will say no
Love will last longer, growing stronger and stronger
If you stay and don’t let go
Oh, out of the light, like a star, like a hero
Love will survive
Oh, taking a fight is the life of a hero
Staying alive
This is a story of love and compassion
Only heroes can tell
Oh, out of the light, like a star, like a hero
Love will survive
Heaven and Earth keep colliding
But we love on a world of its own
Oh, there you can fake it, just make it or break it
Only you can find the one
Oh, out of the light, like a star, like a hero
Love will survive
Oh, taking a fight is the life of a hero
Staying alive
This is a story of love and compassion
Only heroes can tell
Oh, out of the light, like a star, like a hero
Love will survive
Oh, survive
Heroes can live on their own
But heroes never die alone
Oh, out of the light, like a star, like a hero
Love will survive
Oh, taking a fight is the life of a hero
Staying alive
(This is a story of love and compassion)
Heroes can tell
Oh, out of the light, like a star, like a hero
Love will survive
Cover for Charlotte's single Hero...bakpe muka dia macam drag queen moyok jah?? Hiks....
Other songs that I like from this year's competition would be:
1) Qele, Qele by Sirusho representing Armenia.
2) Secret Combination by Kolomoira representing Greece.
3) Believe by Dima Bilan representing Russia.
4) Shady Lady by Ani Lorak representing Ukraine.
5) Casanova by Gisele representing Andorra (sadly she did not make it to the final!!)
All of the songs I have added in my new imeem playlist and embedded in this blog as the spirit of Eurovision emerges from deep inside me! Hehehehe
