Re: TÜRK?YE - Turkey 2010 - MaNga - We Could be the Same

Yesterday i was dissapointed, but today it just discreased one level. It's true that the more I listen, the more I love the song. But it still isn't perfect for me.

Very good song, although I expected something much stronger than this from Manga's.
I gave it 7 points.
This song is zillion time better than last year. :D

Very very good Turkiye!

Re: TÜRK?YE - Turkey 2010 - MaNga - We Could be the Same

I really like the intro,but i don't like the middle part of song.....This song not the winner song as i know

If they have a lot of time for preparing a song,it would much better than this song(i am sue)... TRT too late for choosing the Artist this year.... So MaNga prepared a lovely song in very short time :)


This year very poor songs here...so MaNgA have more chance :)


Song is Ok for me...growing again :)

Re: TÜRK?YE - Turkey 2010 - MaNga - We Could be the Same

I want to add i don't see this as a winner as well. It's so cliché but there's no WOW factor in it at all :D It may have a chance if rest of 20 songs suck big time but it's improbable IMO. But the melody is really catchy and not quite forgettable... and it deserves top 5 more than Hadise does.. :ugeek:

I have listened it few times but it didn't grow on me. :roll:
MaNga is good band but for Eurovision they are not true choice.
Nevertheless i'm sure that they will get the TOP10 with "We Could be the Same" and exactly diaspora votes :D

Dear friends, I don't know who wrote the info about the song but I guess it should have been written as "music and lyrics by Manga." As I heard, in the official papers at least, it says so. Perhaps we should correct it if not based on official disclosure from TRT sth.. copy rights matter, right? Thankss

Dear "symrna" I don't know why you consider Turkish press relaible source, Turkish press that wtrote "MaNga" because they don't know who exactly composed the song and wrote lyrics. Because usually it's about exact names and not about the band title, but I'll change it if it makes you feel better ;)


Anyway, I'd be grateful if someone tells the exact names of composers and lyricists. Did the whole band write the song or just certain members? Thanks ;) :)

Actually it was written on the graphics when MaNga started to perform. I checked them again.
Lyrics: Evren Özdemir & maNga & Fiona Movery Ak?nc?
Music: maNga


Dear Aleks, it is usually band's call (not the press) to decide on writing down one person's name whose contribution was very significant to the song or the band's name where they think everyone's contribution was indispensable. Then they send all these to the registry office and to the press and to elsewhere it is necessary in the process of making their work public..

The info you wrote was saying the song was composed and written by Ferman Akgül(the vocal) which was masking other people's contribution. So, I thought that it would be fair a d respectful to fix it as they wanted and write down Manga as the composer and the lyricist, ofcourse in addition to Fiona and Evren -a hip-hop singer from Canada who also made a contribution to Manga's first album as the bonus track (worths to listen btw, it is in English as well). As Doctor-X mentioned, it is written there in graphics as the song's info which is how the band decided on... So, why wouldn't I consider the Turkish press, especially TRT, as a reliable source for this as long as their source is the band itself?

Anyway, it is not about making "me" feel better but thank you.. :)

fyi, the press doesn't usually take info from official press-releases so it's a lil' bit naive thinking that thay are right about it. When it's mentioned by TRT (which gives all documents to EBU) now THAT's when it can be considered official.
Look how many performers were announced as Turkish representatives by Turkish press :lol:

oh, one more thing... the graphics mentions Evren Özdemir & maNga & Fiona Movery Ak?nc?... not just maNga. Turkish press lies a lot indeed ;)
yeah, you're always welcome :)

Re: TÜRK?YE - Turkey 2010 - MaNga - We Could be the Same

Another great year for Turkey, along with 2004 and 2008.

I have always expected this country's entries with greater enthusiasm that other countries because Turkey is a country that's not afraid to experiment, to send something new and fresh. Maybe sometimes I get disappointed (i.e. The Hadise - LadyStar would kill me for this :p ) but I am pretty sure that I will get rewarded in the future. OK, maybe the song is not as good as For Real or as good as the masterpiece Deli but still, the music (especially the intro) is very intriguing to my ears and overall it's a good song that deserves 8 points from me.

LadyStar! :p
Where are you? :p
I miss you! :p
Come and make my day! :p

Re: TÜRK?YE - Turkey 2010 - MaNga - We Could be the Same

this is weird. this song has opposite effect from usual - on first listening i found it great, but now it fell down. it is not bad, but not anymore as good as i found it earlier

This song reminds me of:

TURKEY 2004 (The resemblance is uncanny!)
TURKEY 2008

Last night, Manga was the guest in a part of Beyaz Show after they gave a concert in Ankara and They made a funny talk with Beyaz and they were very cute and funny :D Only Turkish members will understand what they talked but:

[youtube:2j0e8jiv]ewQmoCMIvb8[/youtube:2j0e8jiv]

And tonight they will be on a TRT program called "Ferhat Göçer Ile" live at 21:25 CET. The program is a music show which artists sing live and i think Manga will sing our Eurovision song live there. I will be watching it of course :)
