Yap, then it cannot be something like this. The Englishman hath not heard it before.
I'm admitting my ignorance here. My exposure to this stuff is through eurovision alone.
That said, Milan's ability to hoodwink me into thinking his song sounded Western, suggests that other western voters could have been similarly ignorant of it's ethnoness. If it was in English I could have easily imagined someone like Mika singing it.
I don't think Love In Rewind is all that ethno either, with the possible exception of the notes at the start. I'm sure someone will tell me I'm wrong, but I think it's a very subjective discussion. It's massively difficult for me to decide whether juries like or dislike ethno, because it's harder still to definitively state which songs they're supposed to be undermarking. I doubt many of the jurors would know if they were undermarking ethno either.
