Turkey TURKEY 2015 - not taking part

[ESCTurkeyFan6767]

So firstly hello everyone,

I'm Kerem from Turkey but I live in Germany

So I have to say that I hate TRT and so on..

Don't believe what those people are saying.. We have to wait for an official announcement by TRT

Time for a #occupyTRT movement

I hope we send Model.

I'd like smth ethnic from the Van province!!

Or from Gaziantep!

Or based on Horon folk dance from Trabzon area!

LOL it is kind of strange to hear such words from a non-Turkish person.

Why?

 

[escandesc]

Why?

because it looks like you are quite familiar with our culture. Van, Gaziantep, and Trabzon... I don't believe most people here even know these.

I guess Turkey's not ready to be represented by something exclusive to the Eastern/Kurdish areas.

in 2007, Kenan Doğulu used some Eastern elements in his song and it worked out great. I wouldn't like to see someone representing us with a Kurdish song though. A big "NO" to that. The lyrics should either be Turkish or English. So, yes to using Eastern elements in the song, no to a Kurdish song. That's what people think I suppose.

Shake It Up Sekerim didn't have Eastern elements; but some Black Sea tones (Horon). Rimi Rimi Ley was maybe a little closer to what I'd consider "Eastern" though. And y'know how negative reactions it received here.

TRT seems to be into Rock bands (as also can be seen from the entry they sent to Turkvision), so I believe they wouldn't mind picking Model next time... I'm sure they'll do a great job.

Wasn't that "halay"? It has nothing to do with "horon".

The handkerchief part seems like Halay, yes. But just a tiny part, imagine the entire song being like that...

Then, that entry would come home without making it to the final because it is quite unusual to Europe. People here would only talk about how bad it is. In Turkey, success at Eurovision is often associated with the place you've got and if you return home with a good result, everyone will be cheering for you and like your song, but if not, then be ready to criticism.

No, if the song is really good we will think they were unfair to us. For example Semiha Yanki's entry was loved a lot. People didn't like Shake It Sekerim that much also, despite having a good result.

What you say could apply to old all-jury times. But now people like hearing and seeing something unusual and some even base their votes only on that. (See how Rimi Rimi Ley is liked on this forum) But still even if it has a chance to win I wouldn't like to be represented by such a song.

I want my country so badly,even i don't like it anymore,i just hope that we can find a good song.

How's the political climat in Turkey? Which parties are the biggest?
Is it 100% that Erdogan will be re-elected? How are the people looking towards the reigning government after the Twitter & Youtube blocks, the mine catastrophe, ...?

Eurovision isn't political at all, you're right

What's the mine catastrophe or the bans on Twitter and YouTube have to do with Turkey's participation in the ESC?

Well, I didn't wanna be an instrument to threadhijacking, sorry. I wouldn't mind answering to your questions on the political forum though.

Please, don't start with a political discussion :?

I think that TRT will send Aynur Aydin or Atiye to Eurovision (if we will return).

Hopefully they will make a national selection..
