no Michael Learns To Rock? 
@ Jonny and Stockholm
Les Fatals Picards were my favourite in 2007 - but France manages to win six times for me, so there aren't my total French favourite...
For me, Nicole Rieu and Dan ar Braz are definitely battling for first place...
Jonny
Scooch were great fun. I liked them 
And Dustin is so witty 
Thanks.
Stockholm
Yeah, I still can't tell why we chose Scooch over a quite a few good songs
By the way, heres Dustin the Turkey on "the one show" on BBC1 - http://uk.youtube.co(...)/watch?v=Rv0pRxu02tg
Jonny
lol. We love our MF artists.
Thanks a lot for posting the links. The UK had three very good songs in the 2007 NF but chose Scooch "Mysterious woman" is my second favourite in 1997 after "Love shine a light".
Stockholm
Aaaawww I can't believe you have so many programmes with ESC/MF artists on them! 
On the subject of ESC and TV, I just found a clip of Marc Roberts (Ireland 97) on a UK tv show - http://uk.youtube.co(...)/watch?v=jDd3GN0civg
And an interview with some of our 2007 NF participants - http://uk.youtube.co(...)/watch?v=NVWcQhXnoik
Good Luck Denmark !!! .... i sooo hated All night long
YEEAAY DQ 
Claus & Anne-Marie Hassing where cute to
but if Me & My send in something like there Two Are Stronger Than One i sooo want them to go to Moscow
what happend tot those cuties from UNITE???
Jonny
Yes, you're right in that the long version of "Il faut du temps" is better. I hadn't listened to it before. The 3 minute rule is silly. "Il faut du temps" and "A chaque pas" are in my top 3 in 2002/2004
lol. Yes, it's Hafdis in that car. Now Sibel is on TV singing an up-tempo song and 20 minutes ago Charlotte performed.
Stockholm
Aaah, "il faut du temps" is one of my favourites aswell, and "a chaque pas" but I prefer the long version of "if faut du temps", not the 3:00 version she performed at ESC. In fact, if you listen, the version she performed at ESC is just the album version sped up, she sings exactly the same amount of verses and chorus's
Btw totally random but! A ESC related person is in a car advert! - http://uk.youtube.co(...)&feature=related - The woman in the advert was from this years Icelandic selection and sung an alright song called "boys and perfume". I am pretty sure this advert was shown in the UK, I vaguely remember it, although I never knew who the woman was in it
Jonny
LOL.
"Je n'ai que mon âme" happens to be my second French favourite 
Max
I agree with Stockholm, Les Fatales are one of my favourite ever French entries In fact they're my second favourite after "je n'ai que mon ame"
Stockholm
lmao . . . its amazing how many confectionries that dress looks like, maybe Ishtar are trying to get a deal with a Sweet company or something!
Jonny
... and lollipops

Max
Les Fatals Picards were great. "L'amour à la francaise" has to be my favourite French entry
Please, no DQ again! Let Katherine Falkenberg try for Denmark...!
@ Jonny K
I was live at the French national final of 2007 - it was just great.
Fatals Picards and Valérie Louri gave me goose-bumps...
And no doubt "o julissi" would do wel in JESC . . . after all i've heard children like strawberries!
Jonny
I was thinking the same thing. Belgium would probably do well in ESC with a song like "Shut up"
Stockholm
Oooh I see, well I will look a bit further into some of her other songs then
And you're right about Belgian JESC songs, most of the songs in their selection this year were better than all the other countries JESC songs If only they would send "shut up" or "un nouveau reve" to ESC instead, because those songs would do well at ESC
Jonny
Great song Many of the songs Malene sang at the Jazz Club last year were the same style as "Another day".
Now that Belgium has so many good JESC songs I'm glad that I can understand Dutch
Stockholm
Wow, I wish I could speak Swedish fluently, well I wish I could speak every language in the world fluently, but that might be a bit too much lol! I think i'll stick to French for the time being I hope France have a national final this year, cause apart from the UK and Irish national final, I can't understand any lmao! But I can partially understand French so it would be kinda nice to watch a foreign NF where I know whats going on lol!
Btw I just found this totally awesome song by Malene - http://uk.youtube.co(...)&feature=related It reminds me a bit of some of the songs on Sahlenes "photograph" album
Jonny
LOL. I think Malene was nervous back then. Btw, she speaks Swedish fluently
Stockholm
Yeah, unfortunately her performance wasn't great, but Greece should have come last! "tell me who you are" is such a great ballad, but also quite modern at the same time, kinda like "believe"
And I can't believe you've met so many esc-related people! Its incredible! You must have some contacts in the business lol!
Good luck to Denmark! My favourite Danish entry is "Fra Mols til Skagen"
Jonny
Glad to hear that you like the Danish 2002 entry. It didn't deserve to come last I met Malene a year ago, a nice girl and a very good singer
NO DQ again...and Sussi & Leo...OMG....*LOL*...well perhaps they could do it for us....100% they will win if they get through to the danish final.....and i'm afraid they will....
Denmark, have mercy! Never ever again choose that awful DQ to represent you, pls, pls!
I agree, we ruled the 80's!
Anyway, I read that Olsen Brothers gave concert in the newly opened Esbjerg Storenter.
Good luck Denmark. and sent us somr good song and juicy singers like Simon.... But no DQ, been there, done that...never again.
Goooo Denmark! "All night long" = One of my favourites this year I would love to see them win (it would make my grandparents happy ) becuase they have been sending good songs recently Even "drama queen" had a good performance My overall favourite Danish entries are:
1: 2006, 2: 2002, 3: 2008
Good luck Denmark!
Denmark ruled in the 80's
