Re: Iceland WV10 ASK EMBLA "Ein"

Congratulations!

Ein grew on me too but as some others I also think it might of sounded a bit better in Icelandic. Anyway, a very deserved victory. Looking forward to your hosting.

Thanks a lot, CC92, as I said before, there is no Icelandic of this song nor any of the group. Hope to see a good Berlin entry next time in Reykjavik

Thanks a lot for the cherishing and support through it all . I never expected this would happen, but it´s like a dream come true to me and I´m very happy with the hosting right now. Hope next time I can also cheer you up. Remember I preferred the Helene´s song while that group is just okish

Re: Iceland- WV11 in ICELAND -

Some hint about the Icelandic entry for WV11:

:? Yes, yes, I still have my mind in place (well,sort of...), I´m no longer the jury, but still the hint is right

Re: Iceland- WV11 in ICELAND -Emiliana Torrini "Jungle drum"

A bit of an extremely funny tune for Reykjavik. Emiliana Torrini at her best Hope some like it, I absolutely love her, probably a guilty pleasure

Re: Iceland- WV11 in ICELAND -Emiliana Torrini "Jungle drum"

Very nice and joyful song.
Best of luck, my friend.

Re: Iceland- WV11 in ICELAND -Emiliana Torrini "Jungle drum"

That song was no.1 on German Single Charts for ages. It was the 2nd most succesful song of the whole year here.
But I still like it. Good luck!

Re: Iceland- WV11 in ICELAND -Emiliana Torrini "Jungle drum"

Thank you, Paddy. I didn´t know that because people know I try not to send overplayed songs. If I had known, I wouldn´t have sent it, but I can´t change it now. It wasn´t heard in at all and that´s why I loved it at first sight

 

[Paddy]

Re: Iceland- WV11 in ICELAND -Emiliana Torrini "Jungle drum"

No, it's no problem, you can send what you want, I really like that song

It wasn't overplayed everywhere.

I just knew this song because of other online contests from some years ago. It wasn't a hit in many countries. Perhaps it was in Germany and some other countries, but not a worldwide hit.

They said that song of Milow (Belgian entry from last edition) was overplayed too. I haven't heard of it at all in the past. Nor Millow is famous here or in Southern and Eastern Europe...

Re: Iceland- WV11 in ICELAND -Emiliana Torrini "Jungle drum"

It was also overplayed in , but different to other overplayed songs, i now like it again.

But still her song for Lord Of The Rings (Gollums Song) is the best i know from her ^^

However, I heard that song and it didn´t really get me, you know?
I´m having regrets about this song a bit as it happened to you a couple of months back with the Swiss entry at FSC, but the difference is that I didn´t know it had been such a hit in Central Europe.

In FSC i didnt regret because it was a popular hit in Switzerland (and it was only a hit in my country), it was because i thhaught its a great song as i've entered it and then my opinion for the song going down every day to only "It's Okay".

I think its not that bad to send a song which has a bit more popularity in some regions, especially you've dont known about it. For myself, i avoid such songs a bit, but dont exclude them and if i will ever take in WorldVision, one entry of mine will definetely a track, which was a big world hit (Top3 in more than 10 european countries and Top25 in USA).

I hope other jurors had the same approach about big hits (I really hate it and find it a bit of cheating to send big worldwide hits), but for this song I don't agree, I don't find it overplayed at all except of some countries.

Re: Iceland- WV11 in ICELAND -Emiliana Torrini "Jungle drum"

Sending well-known hits still does not guarantee a good placing though. As for Jungle drum, it will not affect my mark.
