^It wouldn't be worser than Manga to do it :lol:

It is very interesting to see how people's tastes in music and approaches to ESC differ. I am pretty certain that Manga goes to Oslo this year ( not because I take part in the commission but I just like to predict! through rational reasoning for sure) :geek:

I persuate the evolution in Hande Yener's music but she still can't dance! I really do not understand why Turkish female singers are this bad at dancing! Any ideas? She perhaps should give rock music a try.. I even do not want to mention Tarkan. I think the whole megastar thing is nothing but a PR success. He wouldnt take the risk anyway...

I saw Portecho and Bedük was also discussed in the forum, I like the music of both. Bedük looks too arrogant on the stage though, I don't think people would like him and vote. Portecho is cool but if they were not able to achieve popularity and commercial success in Turkey, it is probably gonna be the same case for the ESC. I did not have the chance to listen Bora Uzer's album songs, but as I remember him from Kangroove's live performances, TRT may want to consider him for the next year. Also, I would support S?la, her first video was impressive!

Moving beyond the rumours, I would also support Sebnem Ferah but I am so glad that she refuses it. It is just not her thing and that is why I love her.

If one day, someone I love cheats on me in a terrible way, I could end up listening to Emre Ayd?n in my bed and crying my heart out.. However, in all of his concerts Ive been to, I got seriously bored. His voice depresses me as well. He is always sad and vulnerable.. I dont think it goes with the ESC concept at least for Turkey..

After all, I don't understand why Manga is the worst choice like we have a whole selection of good quality popular music. Who cares what sort of music they do? Rock, rap, nu-metal, hard-core, pop, fusion whatever it is, they have an amazing energy on the stage. Everyone starts to bounce eventually in their concerts. This summer at R&C their performance attracted officially more people than the Prodigy's! Both of their albums brought commercial success. They have been to Europe several times and people were going crazy for them (I saw them in Sziget Festival several years ago and in Cologne recently, like 3 months ago). I think some of them speak English pretty good as well as German and French. They got well-respected awards, most of their songs and both albums made it to the 1st ranks in music lists. Their song "Bir Kad?n Çizeceksin" was selected to take part in musics of FIFA 2006. EMA award came recently. It is even not controversial that they are good at catchy melodies. ESC just seems like their thing to me... We will see... :)
Are u in the commission? :shock: Do u know when TRT will announce our representer? I hope it is Manga.

Re: TÜRK?YE - Turkey 2010

According to the respectable newspaper Milliyet, Manga will represent Turkey at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. However, the Turkish public broadcaster TRT has not yet made an official statement on the matter.

The group Manga was chosen The Best Act of Europe by MTV last year. They explained that they would represent Turkey at the Eurovision Song Contest after the MTV ceremony. It seems that TRT's internet questionnaire and European music trends were effective for the broadcster's decision.

TRT has reached a pre-agreement with Manga, which is expected to be confirmed in the coming weeks by both parties.

In the meantime, 2 other known names in the list of TRT, Sebnem Ferah and Emre Aydin, explained that they don't intend to compete at the Eurovision Song Contest yet.


So, Manga's chances of going to Oslo are 99.9% . Knew that they will win. But now let's just wait for the official confirmation ;)

Re: TÜRK?YE - Turkey 2010

You gotta be kidding guys! Even Sibel Tüzün made it to finals back in the day! Do you really believe that Manga will come up with a song worse than Superstar??

I think there is no need to worry this year. I am pretty sure that the worst result Manga can get is to be ranked among the first five at the finals.. What I believe is that Turkey will be running for the first price! I am so excited for the song already!

Since we know our candidate by now, we should start being supportive, at least logical in our critiques. I don't see a reason to be this pessimistic, especially before we hear the song.

Re: TÜRK?YE - Turkey 2010

Last rumours: The name will be disclosed on Wednesday!! Hope it is true, its been ridiculous this year!


On the other hand, if TRT really made that declaration to the press, accusing the artists to give raise to unrealistic rumours to favor themselves, I think they should come up with a name out of the list!! Otherwise, they must kind of apologize, right?
