[MENTION=13474]Mlyn[/MENTION] I shall forgive you for using my copyrighted word as you made mention of one of my favourite synth pop bands BWO. I own all their albums on cd You mentioned the wrong song though. I've never really been a fan of their ballads besides "You're Not Alone" and "Sunshine In The Rain".


Now "Marrakech" is an eargasm

Thanks for your kind words of forgiveness. Still, the third BWO album (Pandemonium) was rather meh-ish than eargasmic ..... and Martin Rolinski, who used to be a royal hotness, has become a grey mouse.....

I thought "Fabricator" was pretty good. They released all the wrong songs from it though. "Last Flight To San Francisco" and "Concrete Jungle" were so infectious, literally crying out to be released as singles. Their fourth and last album is the one that took a tumble in my opinion. I only liked "Shoot From The Heart" and their Melodifestivalen entry from it. Now the first two albums are gold from start to finish and I think Martin is still as beautiful as ever. He might not look like an angel anymore but he's still gorgeous. I hope they reform for 2016's contest.

Yeah, the first two albums were amazing. Why don't they apply for Poland or Belarus? None of them is Swedish and MF is too tough to win.

My favorite of ESC 2015 so far (which isn´t very difficult after three songs^^) but tbh I expected something more from Trijntje and Anouk.
"Walk Along" is ok and radio-friendly, but nothing special, so 6 points from me.

That's a brilliant idea actually. Gosh, imagine if Poland internally selected them? Would be too good to be true.

They should avoid the Belorussian selection though. I think anyone should as it's always dodgy as heck. Isn't Marina of Ukrainian blood actually? Martin Polish?


Anyway, we are taking this way off topic. We should stop before we get told off

I kinda like this song, but I'm afraid this won't make it into the Final.

Good song with a very catchy chorus, but they really hammer it in, so it gets too repetitive by the end. Also extremely unoriginal lyrics. Still a sure qualifier imo.

I like the lyrics a lot, they are very "visual"........

I like this, its really catchy

It is radio friendly and I'm not sure why some people are acting like its not good because it sounds generic and then wetting themselves in the Malta "Warrior" thread :? At least this doesn't have "made for Eurovision" stamped on its forehead and could easily be an album track on someone's album completely independent of the contest.

I don't know how it will do but I think it is jury and televoter friendly so it could do well. Besides after "Calm after the Storm" went from almost non-qualifier in the betting to almost winning the whole thing in the blink of an eye I'm not going to rush to judgment

 

[Mlyn]

Well, if a song has a hook, it's not good. That's the rule, and that is why Warrior or Children of the Universe are hyped and Walk Along is bashed.

 

[ayzelto]

A good song, but not incredible. Last year's was a hundred times better. 6 points for now.

I LOVE IT!

This is very catchy on first listening, but it's way too repetitive for my likings, it makes the song very tiring after a few times of listening.
However as it's the first/two times of listening that are the main factor, I'd say The Netherlands is off for a good start.

 

[FilipFromSweden]

This song grows on me for every time I hear it and now I think it will be hard to (personally) top that one.
I feel like if the USA would participate in Eurovision it would sound something like this (which was just the deal with Calm After The Storm, it sounded like american country)

Was it you on the Anouk account earlier, trying to scare us all?

Not sure what that means but I'll just say yes to keep the rumor mill going.
