Azerbaijan AZERBAIJAN 2018 - Aisel - X My Heart

[GRE]

So "Always on my mind" was a ballad? Didn't know that!

it was an ethnic uptempo song.
This time is pop dance song.

 

[cegs5]

There is a lot fo potential in this entry. I like that it's not pretencious, it might be generic but with a right staging that could be enough, and we know Azerbaijan delievers on stage.

I gave it 5 points in the poll. It's a mainstream song which isn't a bad thing, especially when thinking about previous winners who were very commercial as well (2010, 2012, 2013, 2015). But the problem is that it isn't that kind of earwurm that the other ones listed have been at their time. Honestly: I listened to it this morning and I couldn't tell you how it sounded. Nothing stuck with me. I think it could work with a good staging but I wouldn't call this a sure qualifier. If it ends up in the final it will probably place around 15th to 20th...

What a big let down. I was expecting something better. I am giving this 0 points, sorry. Too forgettable, too bland.

i am not saying it isn't understandable that people are not interested in this considering my own initial reaction and i am not saying i would be surprised if this was azerbaijan's first NQ (though semi 1 is easier)

all i am saying is MISTY MOON I AM YOUR LOON LET'S ROCK THE NATIONNN

Extremely talented singers from Azerbaijan are always save Eurovision for me, especially this weak season thanks to this extremely beautiful girl. WELCOME back to my TOP-5.

 

[Bakinka]

The worst song this year in general, and from Azerbaijan particularly. Bottom. I'm really disappointed.

Do you think they'll withdraw like last year because of some provocations towards , so that they get prevented from crossing the borders?

azerbaijan is unable to withdraw from competitions!!!! it's their culture to take part and take it seriously in everything

With 2014's act being among the most relevant ones.

For those who complain about azeri lyrics,
there is a rumour about that:
The original song was a bilingual ballad with ethnic elements. They changed their minds literally the last minute.

In translation - nation without balls who always play on safe

 

[Chorizo]

This sounds very generic. 6 points.

 

[hijirio]

The lyrics containing "misty moon" caused this nation to face its first elimination in history.
The history book on the shelf, is always repeating itself.

 

[henhu]

The first time ever I don't like Azerbaijani song. This Is Love was infinite times better.

 

[Hegepege]

I think Azerbaijan is in need of a new shopping assistant, because they tend to end up with the same song from the same swedes every year. I am so utterly bored by this I give it a big fat well deserved 0. When will we get something genuine from them?

0 well deserved, but it's not swedes, it's greeks and it was local production last year and greeks again in 2013, aaaaand local production in 2008, sooo nope, it's not every year)

 

[toinou03]

I can't understand how is sending a copycat of 2017 that didn't work and nearly didn't qualify...

Kontopulos sends exactly the same song he sent last year... :?

 

[VikingTiger]

Generic..Mainstream. Unprovocative.
......combined with:
Great voice. Good production
......ends up:
Very middle of the road!
