for me the problems in ESC is 3 : diaspora/neighbour voting, Big 4, and secret jury voting ( i dont trust that secret voting especially when they "vote" for swedish song this year ) i dont have anything against swedish people but this song was tottaly out. if solve that problems ( something very difficult especially diaspora/neighbour voting even and with 50% jury voting beacuse with that semifinals and jury also is going to vote for neigbours) everything is going to be ok
Jonny:
Why not. Perhaps they would do better than The Nicole.
Jonny:
OMG! Hilarious 
And I hadn't watched the Dima video before either.
LOLLLLL Jonny, the karaoke thing is too funny. They should go to Eurovision next year 
Jonny:
Why not. Perhaps they would do better than The Nicole.
Jonny,
about Hero, even by him, I can't get over the lyrics..they just sound too empty to me...but the music is much better.
Jonny:
Oh, I didn't know that. I drink a lot of tea, sometimes 5 cups in the morning
Mina:
Yes, Steven Coulter is very good. I've heard him singing "Hero" and "Disappear" as well.
Jonny:
OMG! Hilarious
And I hadn't watched the Dima video before either.
LOL I just found a video where Dima sings Hero (it's by an audio editing program according to the person who had posted the video) BUT this is HOW Charlotte should perform and I guarantee she would get more votes

Good to see we all had breakfast - most important meal of the day!
That we guy is pretty good actually although is he putting on an accent when singing Believe. He sounds like Dima!
Do you have the corn flakes in the chocolate milk???!!
Yes...LOL
I love it! In fact this guy has an esctoday account, because he posted a link to his version of "dissappear" and it was really good Look at some of his other videos, hes really good
Yes, I know I've seen them all 
But you know hearing him singing Believe made me even more sure of my choice..even if he was singing it (someone unknown) I would still vote for the song.
Hey, listen to this and tell me what you think..it's a version of Believe with guitar (not by Dima), I found it on YouTube and I think it's very good (Jonny, I had told you about it).

No Bran Flakes for me but Corn Flakes "the original and best", 1 squeezed orange, 1 boiled egg, ham and 3 cups of tea (no sugar)
So for a change of subject, what did we all have for breakfast this morning?
Cornflakes and chocolate milk
Jonny:
hehe. Jane's leg warmers look ridiculous
I would expect "This is my life" to do well internationally and also the Bulgarian entry as you said.
Bran Flakes yum
You would think wIth televoting where you have to gain public support and get them to pay to vote for you it may actually turn into some sales rather than just the votes of a small number of people on a jury but this has not been shown true.
My original argument was always that the older songs chosen by juries were the more influential in the charts and you seem to all agree with that
Eurovision for people today is NOT what it was 30 years ago. It's a festival they enjoy 1,2,3 nights in a year and then forget about it and go back to Madonna, Duffy, Kid Rock or whoever is in the charts at the time.
There really isnt any other explanation. And even from the jury era there were many, many songs that were never heard of again.
I just found it funny and ironic that now when the songs need to get public support to win the competition now, we see the public supporting them anymore to get them into the music charts
Yes, that's true but not surprising at all. It's the new reality..like fast food..lol
See I don't deny any of that and that's why I am confused
lina was saying about how corrupt the juries where and how they always favoured the English/French language song. But in general the songs that won tended to get public support afterwards through sales and high chart positions so if the juries where corrupt they still managed to choose the songs people wanted to buy.
Comparing that to today with televoting we don't have that for numerous reasons that you have both laid out but I never argued against that. I just found it funny and ironic that now when the songs need to get public support to win the competition now, we see the public supporting them anymore to get them into the music charts.
I hope you get what I mean now
But this is what I am saying - none of the songs from the televoting era (where consumers are actually encouraged to vote for the favourite songs) have ever had the success of songs that won in jury days. I just pointed to Dima because he was the winner this year.

Jonny:
Spot-on Polina also reminds me of Jane Fonda working out in the gym.
Jonny,
I agree with every word you just said.
It kinda just reinforces my point that the televoting songs don't do as well!
But it doesn't have to do with televoting, that's what I'm trying to tell you...times have changed, Europe is bigger, the market is different!
Waterloo was played everywhere in Europe, yes, but that was 30 years ago, it didn't have to do with the 'quality' of the song, while these days the quality of songs is bad...because I may love Abba and Waterloo itself but I would never call it a musical masterpiece!
@ mina
I am really confused as to why that is even relevant because I never compared how the others songs did from this year when compared to Dima. I said that the songs that won in jury days were more likely to go on to be successful than songs that won today so I am confused as to why you are now questioning me about the other songs this year that didn't win. It kinda just reinforces my point that the televoting songs don't do as well!
As for the 'moral' winner Portugal - I never liked that song or even pretended to. I criticized that song for ages for being boring, out-of-date and sounding like it was recorded on a karaoke machine. I was one of the few that never liked that song although she has a good voice!
When I was arguing for Western songs it was always fro Ireland, France, Norway or Iceland among others but never Portugal!
Oh and by the way Danny, what happened to the 'moral' winner of Eurovision, Portugal (since the thread IS about Portugal). Last time I checked it wasn't in any charts...what does that mean? According to you, that it wasn't a good song I suppose.
Sure there is more music on offer but you would think that this song from Dima which you often proclaim managed to get votes from all over Europe would actually be able to convert that into some sales. Like come on here Eurovision is being watched by more people than ever before!
I don't just 'proclaim' it, it's a fact and I always try to speak with facts. And I asked you before and you didn't answer...ok, let's admit that Believe won...out of luck?..before Russia paid?...whatever..was there some other song this year that topped the charts of even half of the European countries and I missed it?
That was my main argument..that these days it's rare for a song to become a hit after Eurovision and if it does, it will be in so few countries (among the 43) that it's not even worth mentioning.
@ mina
I would just like to say that when I said 'virtually all songs' not 'all songs' (as you quoted like a tabloid newspaper!) it was strictly in a Eurovision context. I love music outside of Eurovision from all decades.
As for Eurovision music before 95 where I start liking more than the odd song, I can safely say it is probably the biggest reason for Eurovision poor image in the West all though I am sure songs past 95 ain't helped!
Eurovision today has at least got quite a few songs that reflect what is going in the music industry inc. Dima's but back then it was gimmicky mess after mess and you do not even know how objective I was trying to be. Ghandi couldn't be objective on these songs!
As for the market's I don't believe they are as different as you believe. Sure there is more music on offer but you would think that this song from Dima which you often proclaim managed to get votes from all over Europe would actually be able to convert that into some sales! Like come on here Eurovision is being watched by more people than ever before!
