Actually, I think you are right. The pseudo polemic (that hardly interest anyone I must say...) make a great publicy for the song. On the other hand, more and more radios have started to air it. And a lot of people have watched "Glorious" video as it is on every website... It's now (I read) on Voltage and Frequence G (Electro Radios) and on regional stations of Fun Radio (second radio of youngsters, in electro also) and it's played on the website of NRJ (biggest music radio station) as a "future hit". I guess, they are waiting an official releasing (before Eurovision ?) to air it... So you will have a great coverage of the song in France... On the other hand, while we gave a 12 point to Euphoria, it was never aired on any radio because a "Eurovision winner" so the majority of people don't remember Loreen and her G:son hit. ! :)

It lacked something to tell about Eurovision, as we have no funny grandmothers this year ! :D

As we say in France, Talk about me in good, Talk about me in bad, but Talk about me ! ;)

If I would be better in french (I got a "3" last semester)I would definitly love your country now :p Haha.

I'm actually now really afraid that the newspapers in whole Europe will write about that plagiarism thing so that at the end, Cascada will fail just as Gracia Baur did. It would be so unbelievable unfair if the german newspapers crash the german sucess at Eurovision and the sucess of my favorite singer. I really wish Cascada would have never taken part in Unser Song für Malmö. This is such a mess and Natalie doesn't deserve this.

Don't worry... About 2 to 3 months is all forgotten and people will vote Glorious in top 10, maybe even in the top 5. I'm quite sure. xrunhug - - xrose

but of course I like France ... although I wasn't there till now .... oh wait I drove trough France when I visited Londen during the olympic games ... I guess that counts :p
I would love to visit Paris but my french is just so bad :(

The same procedure as every year. Plagiarism is discussed every year and is forgotten at the end. It was the same with Euphoria and Loreen won at the end.

But it doesn't matter ! People speak English, things are subtitled in german... Paris is an international city ! ;)
And I must say it's the most beautiful city in the world (and I can say it, I live far far away from Paris ! :) ) but Parisians may be the most horrible persons in the world ! :eek: :D

I don't care if the song resembles any other song. but the song is bad and the singer is anticharismatic. that is all

Take Swedish House Mafia - Don't you worry child and Loreen - Euphoria and you have this song. Copycats, hope this song gets DQ.

I'm not convinced by the plagiarism claims... Yes, "Glorious" falls in the same musical genre as "Euphoria", but it's still a distinctively Cascada song. And Cascada's been around much longer than Loreen.

Anyhow I don't hate "Glorious", but I don't love it either. I don't think it will flop, but I won't bet my money on it as a winner.

I can't see any resemblance, apart from genre. To me, they sound COMPLETELY different (well, as different as any other song in this genre would sound).
Having said that, I can hear similarities to 'Don't you worry child'... but not enough to disqualify this.

Actually Don't you worry child shoould have disqualified Loreen if we go there...

French law says that to be a plagiarism, there must be 8 following identic notes in both songs...

I hardly think there is 8 following same notes in both songs...

I do not understand why so many wines or screaming loud over this track. Especially Swedes .. :twisted: Go to Iceland and listen.... and listen to I AM A COW too, there you will find something that reminds more of a plagiarism. ;)

Again, if :ch: 2008 didn't get disqualified then this shouldn't either.

End of discussion.

This wasn't my fav in the German selection, but I will loudly protest against a disqualification though because that would just be hypocritical by EBU when they allowed ACTUAL plagiarism in the past.

I dont really see plagiarism either.....We hv had occasions in the past that were by far 'copy-paste' cases,this one certainly doesnt fall into this category

Iac,for me,this is a pretty average song,sorry......:(
