That's how I feel about Slovenia anyway, so this "overused argument" - as you say - is not lamer than claming they're constantly hyped for nothing and that their most successful songs lately were only fanwanks. They may not have sent masterpieces every single year, but they brought some good entries that deserved to do well, truth is that they didn't quite reach the result one might have expected.

2009, 2012 and 2013 weren't awful songs to me, that's your opinion and you're entitled to give it like everyone else, but that does not mean they were objectively worthless. Lots of good songs failed to qualify for the final since 2004, Eurovision results aren't always related to music quality.

Once again. Nothing to add. You've said it all - in a very elegant and elaborate fashion :)

On a related note, flies buzz too- as it does on the Slovenian song this year. I'm quite disappointed with EMA this year. The past few years yielded fantastic songs. This year is just alright, nothing particularly stellar.

About popular sayings, we have one very popular: flies always buzz around sh.t :) Anyways, we have established long ago that EMA this year was very, very, very bad. And yes, most likely 90% of commentators here agree we should have sent Raiven... But, mysterious are Lord's ways :)

This is a good song. I do not like what americanized, too much.
But, Alpine brothers arrive 10 or 12 points from Serbia in SF.

Hm, I disagree with 1993 and 2002 - obviously you don't speak Slovenian, cuz if you had, you'd hear and feel these songs differently than you do now. However, I am shocked you haven't added 1996 to your list. That was bad, very bad hahaha.

Yeah, I also hated 1996 until the moment I fell in love with Regina thanks to her great song and performance in EMA this year xD

Are you being serious? Are you for real? Actually, we tried with something similar in 2010... Go and see. You will be petrified, literally.

Are you being serious??? I have no comment. Her song ALIVe was a disaster. :) Sorry, but this is my opinion.

A 50-years-old hot MILF with a special voice who sings a very catchy summer tune and that changes her dress during the song, showing what her mama gave her, and that dances with boys and girls who age-wise could be her children, and that only when she touches them they start dancing, and the whole act transmits joy and happiness all around... what is there not to love in all of this? xheat

No. But I am biased in her case. She was born in a town that is only 7km away from my village so I use different standards for her :) I dont like her singing, nor voice, nor songs. :) Sorry.

We don´t need to talk about the lyrics, but the song is quite good. 8 points.

Sorry, disagree. The lyrics are bad, the melody is bad, the arrangement is bad. This equals for me: the song is bad. :mrgreen:

What bothers me the most about this entry is the singer's accent.
The song would've definitely been better if sung in Slovenian....

Wouldn't make a difference. She always sounds very flat, like she has a stuffy nose, even when she sings in Slovene.

The way she's singing doesn't even bother like her pronunciation. It's even worse when she just speaks in English...

Can't wait for the interviews. I'm sure that most kids from JESC would do a better job then she will

She's a cutie tho. She probably didn't even realize that she looks and sounds like Taylor.
So naive and unspoiled. xheart

The dumbest lyrics 2016 Award goes to Slovenia. Congratulations

Dumb? Hell no. This is genius and instructive. I know it may be obvious to you, but I'm sure lots of people will eventually realize that "Blue is blue and red is red" xheart That sounds crazy but she spills the true tea! :lol: #ManuEllaisthenewEinstein :cool:

Wow, I just discovered that Raiven lost by less than 130 votes. I'm actually really pissed now.

Also, am I the only one who noticed that the two songs in the superfinal were called 'Blue and Red' and 'Black and White'?
