AZERBAIJAN 2012 - Səbinə Babayeva - When The Music Dies

[gustav]

In Soviet Russia, when music dies, you punch cassette player.

If you don't know anything about balaban, it's better to be silent.

 

[SharpLady]

I don't know anything about balaban and how it sounds, but what they are using in the song is definitely the Armenian duduk, because it has a very distinct sound that you recognize right away.

Didn't Jivan Gasparyan play it a couple of years ago during Eva Rivas' performance, who is a world-renowned duduk player?

If you see an Armenian playing the violin, basing on this logic you will say that it's the Armenian musical instrument. Thank you for making me laugh

 

[Habibi]

I think it is one of the best ballads in upcoming Eurovision Song Contest. The voice is great, there is no one with such a strong quality of voice among 42 competitors

 

[Grinch]

Anri Jokhadze said this is the best ballad this year and he adores it.

Coming from "The Joker", I'd not be so proud though

Look what I found!!! (don't know if it was posted here)

I disagree. Loreen's voice is stronger and better.

 

[deese]

I disagree. Loreen's voice is stronger and better.

I disagree too. In my opinion Gaitana's voice is the strongest this year.

 

[Marie Jane]

Oh yes, i totally forgot about Gaitana. Amazing powerful voice.

 

[Habibi]

Disagree with both of you 'cause nor Loreen nor Gajtana have more voice octaves than Sabina. Gajtana has a strong voice but for me it is more like "crying" or "screaming" , but Loreen's amateur voice should not even be compared with Sabina's professional ...

 

[A-lister]

... but Loreen's amateur voice should not even be compared with Sabina's professional ...

3 3

Yeah right ,,,

Honestly though, Loreen, Gaitana & Sabina are all technically good singers, but they have different qualities to their vocals that might attract different taste.

 

[Simon87]

Loreen, Gaitana & Sabina are great singers with different voices

 

[Metafeller]

To be honest, first time I didn't enjoy so much. Even I didn't listen begining to ending but this time, I enjoy. Even still not in my top 10, song is awesome.

 

[Narmina]

Come on people. Tastes are different. We can't compare Gaitana, Loreen or Sabina. They have different styles and different quantity of fans. Each fan will support it's idol. So no need to argue. Good luck to girls at ESC!

I agree

 

[Knubelznarm]

It's all okay but very cliché. I find it somehow disturbing that all the song-writers have swedish names. The one instrument in there that sounds ethnic, seems very phony when the song-writers aren't even from Azerbaijan.

 

[Narmina]

^ there is not only one instrument...they used some of them...Plus Azerbaijani version is preparing

 

[Grinch]

Pastora is the best xbb

 

[CypriotGirl]

Add Pastora Soler to this list too. Her voice is strong too, not to say the strongest!

As I see, he's not a bad singer at all. I still wonder why he chose such a bad song for ESC, though.

And he's cute actally. I don't why he's trying to look like a clown.
