Shady Lady has been on repeat for hours now. The music video really made me love the song more for some reason, plus, Ani's so sexy!

Which ones? Proteriotita and the one that My Number 1 is on are her bests for me as a solo artist... the more recent stuff after Mambo was pretty meh imo.

You know when she was in Antique? Man, I wish she could go back to that. Her old stuff was way better than her new stuff.

Poor Elena, though. She's been diagnosed with multiple scleroris and she's certainly not doing well right now. I don't know if this was announced publically, but my grandmother told me. My aunt has a student who's uncle is a pretty high profile doctor so that's how the message got passed on...

If you're interested, here's a music video I did to My Number 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTbdj_lJ7lI

^ I have The Game of Love and Iparhi Logos, and I love them both. I'm really looking foraward to her new album, I think it's out on June 8th? Porta Gia Ton Ourano was a bit dissapointing for a first single though...

I really liked your video btw, really creative~

I completely agree. But I'm sure the whole album will be good, I usually like her album tracks as much (or more) as the singles.

^ I'm afraid Austin is right, Lumix.
Songfestival isn't a songfestival anymore...
Horrible music... some more horrible than other songs..
And the East-Countries vote only for themselves...
... Of course an East-Country wins...

Okay, I'm not jealous that Russia won and the Netherlands didn't ...
But I only will say that the songfestival isn't anymore than a piece of stupid things...
I think Russia has the luck in this world that he has a lot of neighbourcountries... say: .. Believe wasn't a good track.. (... skate on a... Song Festival ? o.O)

But.. Finland won in 2006. Russia never won before, wouldn't they have won every year since like 2003 when the east countries started coming in?

I don't think Russia should've won, but it didn't win entirely because of neighbors. I think what happened was, that a lot of people wanted a slow, "beautiful" song to win and a lot of people wanted an upbeat song to win. If you look at 2nd place, it's a chick with an upbeat song. 3rd place, it's a chick with an upbeat song. 4th place, it's a chick with an upbeat song. The votes for the upbeat songs were split and it came in favor of Russia who had no real slow song competition.

^

I saw last years Eurovision and to me the east wasn't any worse than the west. Actually some of the western countries sang pretty hilarious songs I'd say (was it England that sang about airplanes or something? sorry I don't remember but it was terrible, no offense though), while eastern music brought into it some kind of creativeness. And the winner was clearly the best, the girl sang wonderfully and she actually used her skills to win and not looks.

I really don't see the problem you are talking about.

That's the same thing like if Scandinavian countries vote for themselves.. what's wrong with that? It's pretty natural I'd say.

^ Yep, it's pretty stupid how people are complaining about Eurovision every year.. once it's an international contest, so of course there WILL be like 50 countries "unhappy" and 1 "happy" and it's unfair to say nasty things about the winner.. most people sent him SMS to support him so what? Why do some people have problem with that.. it's easy as that.

*hugs ayu_ready?*

It's pretty damn obvious that Eurovision is all about playing favorites and politics. Nothing more than that. Which is sad to say since it's the only thing that showcases Europe's musical singing talent... ugh.

You didn't hurt my feelings but what you wrote felt was if you said "Hitler actually meant it well" to a Jew. If you know what I mean.

If it's such a stupid contest, why is everyone all up in arms about it? -_-;;;

Anyway, congrats to Dima for winning, and congrats to Greece (who I was rooting for) for getting 3rd; I can't wait until next year to hear all the new entries!

Eurovision isn't a stupid contest! all you have to do, is ignore the voting! or view it as comedy! hehe us Aussies had Terry Wogan (i'm sure that was his name) as the commentator, and man it made the voting worthwile! that man had some smart comments

How is Eurovision not a stupid contest?

It's a joke like the likes of American Idol.
