@Zanic
Turkey sends very entertaining songs every year.So being in top 10 is very well deserved!I think people should try sending good songs instead of complaining.
I'm very excited.My choise is Manga!

@Azad loves TURKS!!!! C*

By Surprise do you mean send a couple million Turks into Each European country and try and win with any old song?
..

Or do you mean actualy send someone who can sing, perform and does not make my ears Bleed.

I want to see Sertab back for Turkey. She could do it 2 times I think
(by do it I mean win it)

even though I agree regardless of songs, turkey is sure to be in top 10 anyway.. still it doesn't mean we can't hope for a great entry and out of these 3 my favorite is Manga


Zanic The Norse Knight [60053]

I'm very disappointed by this news :( I really hoped that Murat Boz would represent Turkey. There is no way that any of these acts can win esc. Just because Emre Aydin and Manga have won European prizes, it doesn't mean that they have a good chance at winning. I don't know what other people think, but i personally think these acts are incredibly boring. This really saddens me because Turkey is one of my favourite countries in esc :(
