I have a musical education, do yo have some? :)


This "singer" couldn't pull this at all, it was shameful..

I've been playing the piano since the age of 5 and I've had 9 years of music education. So yes, I have some clue about music theory and I definitely have my ears functioning right.

But is this music festival or a place to fight for rights of minorities? :?

It's a music festival, but the best songs are the ones with a statement, a message. Rise like a Phoenix says enough. :)

You have to repeat your education a bit it seems.. ;) :)

This "singer" doesn't have a volume to pull this of, just listen from the 02;34..and show that to some professor of solo singing to judge.. ;)

My friend yesterday who also watched ESC with me, told me she likes this composition a lot, but was so sad some other proper singer who can pull all the notes didn't perform it..

But as I said Buranovskie babushki were 2nd..

And last year Emelie de Forest won, NOW THIS no surprise why ESC is a laughing object in all just a bit more seriousl musical "enviroments"

Who cares? Most people watching have no musical education but it's an entertainment show and they vote for songs that they like and that entertain them... Austria was enthralling to watch and had a wonderful story behind it. In reality 99% of people watching won't care about whether one of the notes was slightly out of key or not professionally perfect.

Daj bre, puknucu od smeha ovde.. prekini majke ti.. xrofl3

It's not always the case, I'm surprised you haven't mentioned Russia 08 and Azerbaijan 11, which were neither good examples of pop nor were they catchy or did they had any success in Europe.

That is the problem exactly why good singers don't take pat any more..and look in France..who normal there would take part.. ;)

Everybody are laughing to this circus festival!

The only little flaw I can hear in the performance is between 2:42-2:45 and it sounds like as if she was just about to start crying. She managed to hold it together though, so I don't think anyone can say that it was vocally awful and she didn't pull it off.
Moreover, this is not The Voice. It's the Eurovision SONG contest, as you like to point out all the time :)

Her vocals were perfect. It's one thing to hate the song, but you simply can't deny she owned it vocally and performance-wise as well.

i agree, i don't like song, i don't like tembr of voice, but Conchita sang great without any back-vocals
