Just quoting myself from the Azeri thread:



I just mentioned Cyprus giving high points to Azerbaijan too because last year there were rumors about "bought votes" too.

The truth is that all Azerbaijan's entries, whether someone likes them or not, were well-written songs with very professional performances that had appealing to the average European viewer. Original or not, Swedish or not, they don't care. They voted for them. And here, Drip Drop became a big hit, as well as Always received recognition after the contest, and I expect the same to happen with Hold Me. I think the same goes to Malta as well because Terence mentioned something similar. Azerbaijan knows how to promote its entry. And Malta is a country that has tradition of giving very high points to artists that go there for promotion. They even gave us 12 points in 2005 :rolleyes:

I have no problem with you at all and I even congratulated Denmark with the victory. As I wrote in my previous post By and large my intention is not to accuse Denmark, it was kind of an adequate answer to some haters here. There is even a good proverb about it - Success is never blamed xcheer1

Which in turn was plagiarized from the "Halloween" theme. A small segment of piano being similar does not mean the entire song is plagiarized.

FYI, I don't see much similarity between "Only Teardrops" and that other song, either. Emmelie has copied her entire schtick from Shakira, though. If you listen to her speaking English and compare it to her singing English, you can tell her accent when singing is an affectation. She is deliberately trying to make herself sound like Shakira.

Edit: I originally stopped listening to that other song after hearing the 1st verse, but upon re-listening to it, there are significant similarities between the two songs (in the chorus). It's not enough to call plagiarism, but at least thee people making a fuss about this aren't just making stuff up.

There is nothing more important that blueberry pie and nothing more useful than swapping recipes for them.
