extremely weak competition
Even I don't "love" the song 'We could be the same' and as a fan of 'Deli', I must disagree with this. 2010 was one of the most strong year and there were so much respectable songs/singers placed. After all, maNga was good at promoting song on the stage and music genre saved them.

If a rock entry, it better be something like 2008 and NOT like maNga's entry ;)
"Deli" too was very good rock song. To me, Turkey also could come up with something like that in 2014 ;)
Manga's entry was well liked among fans and came second. Why should they not go with something like that again?
Oh, and the song was awesome.
Yes.
Diaspora. xsing + effective stage show + extremely weak competition = one of the most overrated and undeserved placings ever.
No.

2010 was actually still better than 2011 and 2013 but in comparison to 2008 and the majority of the mid and late 00's I find it to be already pretty terrible. And I might be wrong, however, I do not see how that year could of offered many likable alternatives for casually watching and voting people either.
maNga had the best stage performance by far (exactly what earned them their placing along with diaspora support); I'm just not keen on having a similar song again. Deli and For real were great though.

Not imo, I never liked the song and will never do, and being Turkey a good position is almost a certain (suck on that sore losers TRT!!!) so it doesn't say much tbh, and just as CC said that year was rather weak aswell (the final in particular) and an effective stage show helped aswell.

I guess that's another disagreement, as I thought 2010 was a massively strong year and Manga did well to get second. I didn't like the remix of the song though, the studio version was and still is awesome.

We face it. Turkey will not come back until government changes. Other hand this is better for Eurovision. Turkey always gives high points to Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Albania. Turkish delegation criticizes politic system. How ironic act is that! My mind is not enough to get it logically.

Well, each to their own, I never liked that entry... I guess they had a good performance though, but if I don't like a song a performance won't change my opinion on it.

Ethno is dead in ESC, the juries have killed it, so you don't have to worry...

Modern pop is not something they like either, so there's a slight problem here...
