Safura to sing Drip drop in Oslo

Azerbaijani public broadcaster Ictimai TV has today confirmed that Safura Alizadeh, the country's candidate for Eurovision 2010, will be performing Drip drop in Oslo.

Safura was chosen as Azerbaijan's entrant for Eurovision 2010 back on March 2nd. The jury preferred her over Milk & Kisses and Maryam Shabanova, but were not sure about what song to send to Oslo. Ictimai TV has officially confirmed today that Drip drop will be their entry next May. Drip drop has been written by Stefan Örn and Sandra Bjurman.

The 2010 esctoday.com National Final Awards will be held between April and May, which means between the national final season and the Eurovision Song Contest. We will repeat the same format with two rounds for nominations which was used this year - you can read how it works here. However, this time the individual polls for each country will always be held right after the national final, when the entries are still fresh. You can vote for your favourite performance not to qualify in the Azerbaijani national final here and for your favourite song not to qualify here.     

Safura Alizadeh - Drip drop

Azerbaijan will compete at the second semifinal of Eurovision 2010, on May 27th.

No it was not TImbaland. It was done by Niklas Flyckt, who received a Grammy Award for his work on Britney Spears’s Toxic. He also worked with artists like Madonna, Celine Dion, Backstreet Boys and many others.

OMG this girl's English accent makes Svetlana Loboda's accent sound like she was a Cambridge graduate!!!

When do non native-English language countries learn that unless your contestant can, at least, sing in basic English, you do not expose him, and the country, to an international audience!!!

I couldn't understand a word of what she was singing.... dreadful!

BAD........

Its very bad done from the esctoday.com.. they should put the new version of this song here, as they have renewed the song.. I love this song, cant stop listening to it..totally addicted. This one will end at least in 3rd place in Oslo..
Other good songs are from: Slovakia, Armenia, Spain, Germany... (in random order)

After reading some of the comments I was expecting Safura's performance and accent to be really really awful... well, neither the accent nor the performance are as bad as some people seem to think. They surely need work, but there's still time for that. This is no doubt a qualifier, but i'm not sure how well it'll do in the final.

I had hated Elmir & Sanur and thought Aysel & Arash were just ok. So, to me this is Azerbeijan's best effort so far.

Safura could win for Azerbaijan and I would be happy. this song is much better than Azerbaijan in 08 and 09. :)

Oh dear, another awful 2010 entry. Her voice just sounds painful, and the song is bland and boring. Sorry Azerbaijan!

I like the song but I think she kind of screams too much!
Good choice overall...I can't see it as a winner but surely for me it should get to the final!
Good luck Azerbaijan!

Phoenix can prepare a good song.We did it in 2008.
It's first time we get a song from Sweden.In 2009 we used Arashs song which isknown as persian singer who has Azeri root but just citizen of Sweden.

It's known that you can not prepare a good song but
I am boring, always you get a songs from Sweden, try from other countries songs.

@ernst trollmann

Of course you think so because you are Armenian, it's normal that someone supports her/his country! ;) And actually I don't answer to trolls also, but to such interesting trolls like you I can't help myself! ;)

Well Kenan, I don't answer to provocations or I dont even talk to perfect strangers, but if you want to know my opinion about Armenia's entry then it is very positive. Eva Rivas is not a strong performer but her song is way better than Safura's.

@Orkhan

Ben hic bir zaman böyle bir sey demedim, eger söylediysem kanitla!

@ernst trollmann

Yeah, Safura acts like a bimbo than a singer, and Eva Rivas acts like a talented & superb singer! LOL

Very average song. Can be in top 10 but far from Johanna. Do not even compare. Safura acts more like a bimbo than a singer.

The video in this article is from Azeri NF where she sang it really bad. She works a lot on her English accent, performance, choreography and image. The last version of the song is here: http://www.youtube.c(...)/watch?v=tIx_vrhq1lU

Azerbaijan has as much chance of winning with this as Jennifer Lopez has of winning a tiny bottom competition ......
