Re: CANADA - WV49: Classic Canadiana is on the way!

For WV49, I've decided on some true classic Canadian rock. It might be familiar to many of you, but it's as amazing as this great country itself!

Bachman-Turner Overdrive - You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet

Lyrics

I met a devil woman
She took my heart away
She said, I've had it comin' to me
But I wanted it that way
I think that any love is good lovin'
So I took what I could get, mmh
Oooh, oooh she looked at me with big brown eyes

And said,
You ain't seen nothin' yet
B-b-b-baby, you just ain't seen n-n-nothin' yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
B-b-b-baby, you just ain't seen n-n-nothin' yet

"Nothin' yet
You ain't been around
That's what they told me"

And now I'm feelin' better
'Cause I found out for sure
She took me to her doctor
And he told me of a cure
He said that any love is good love
So I took what I could get
Yes, I took what I could get
And then she looked at me with them big brown eyes

And said,
You ain't seen nothin' yet
B-b-b-baby, you just ain't seen n-n-nothin' yet
Here's something, here's something your never gonna forget
baby, you know, you know, you know you just ain't seen nothin' yet

"You need educatin'
You got to got to school"

Any love is good lovin'
So I took what I could get
Yes, I took what I could get
And then, and then, and then
She looked at me with them big brown eyes

And said,
You ain't seen nothin' yet
Baby, you just ain't seen n-n-nothin' yet
Here's something, here's something
Here's something that your never gonna forget, baby
Baby, baby, baby you ain't seen n-n-nothin' yet
You ain't been around
You ain't seen nothin' yet
That's what she told me
She said, "I needed educatin', go to school"
I know I ain't seen nothin' yet
I know I ain't seen nothin' yet

Re: CANADA - WV49 SF1 #08: Bachman-Turner Overdrive - You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet

Fun Fact: When I was in WV as Canada, this was my backup entry every time, except for one where I sent it but then changed my mind.

I've loved this song ever since I was a little kid xcheer

Re: CANADA - WV50

Well, another epic flop - I guess retro isn't to everyone's taste. Still, thank you everyone who did support this Canadian classic

For WV50 and my 5th entry as :ca: juror... we're going Unplugged!

Re: CANADA - WV50 SF1 #14: Bryan Adams - I'm Ready

WORLDVISION 50 TEHRAN :ca::ir:


Bryan Adams - I'm Ready


The Kingston-born singer-songwriter is one of Canada's most recognized talents since bursting onto the scene in the 1980s. He is also an accomplished photographer, well known for his portraits of the Queen and the late Amy Winehouse

The song "I'm Ready" was originally an up-tempo rock track from his 1983 album Cuts Like A Knife. However, the acoustic version featured in his 1998 appearance on MTV Unplugged made the song a hit in Canada, the United States and in other countries abroad.

TRIVIA: The whistle player on the track is Davy Spillane, best known for being a member the original Riverdance orchestra and performing the music during the opening of the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest in Millstreet

It will be a 4-song national final. It will start on the day of the WV50 grand final and continue until the day of the results show. The songs and the scoring system will also be revealed at that time

Welcome to CanadaSong 51!/Bienvenue Ć  CanadaSong 51!

Our mission is simple: to bounce back after 2 consecutive DNQs. As previously mentioned, we have chosen Ottawa singer Alanis Morissette to lead the charge into WV51. Can she turn things around?

We have chosen 4 songs for your consideration. Two of them are from her iconic 1996 album Jagged Little Pill, one is from the Chronicles of Narnia, and the fourth is a personal choice of mine. Click on each title to view the video









Scoring
Rank each song on a scale of 1-10 based on how likely you would vote for it in WV51, then send a PM to esc87fan with your votes. Your ballot should look like this:
Song 1: Score
Song 2: Score
Song 3: Score
Song 4: Score

Re: CANADA - WV51: CanadaSong 51 NF featuring Alanis Morissette

How likely one would vote for the songs in WV all depends on what songs other people have sent as well. ;) A high or low score here might not reflect what points these songs will actually end up with, come WV 51. A song you give a low score to, might end up receiving high points if most other songs are really, really bad. A song you give a high score, might end up with mid/low points if there are 5-7 other songs you love even more. Not saying this is what will happen, just saying that it could happen. ;)

But I voted. :)

Re: CANADA - WV51: CanadaSong 51 NF featuring Alanis Morissette

Why is the NF actually closed nearly a week before a (hypothetical) confirmation deadline?
I'll try to vote now, hoping it's not too late. :lol:

Edit: Another oddity, how does Canada vote? 0 - 0 - 0 - 0, because the voting system is about voting chances and you can't vote for yourself? :lol:
Nevertheless, Germany voted. xcheer
