I was in Euphoria in seconds.<br /><br />I kept listening to Loreen and many other covers of Euphoria and I liked it a lot. But when I heard other amazing melodies (Albania, Serbia, Iceland) I noticed Euphoria had gone. I knew it was the best produced song and it might win but I don't listen to it any more.<br /><br />However some poorer songs have grown and give me much more comfort like Bosnia-H. and Hungary.<br />The Babushki-grannies however never lost their charm.<br /><br />I'm glad Loreen won, she is amazing artist, but I felt a little sad when the predicted winner took all the points.Old ladynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401850518188492952.post-87580876614912176742012-05-29T21:36:44.829+03:002012-05-29T21:36:44.829+03:00I just made my peace with Loreen's Euphoria: I...I just made my peace with Loreen's Euphoria: I discovered her acoustic version (live in Nyhetsmorgon)[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0delymSLHsw ]<br />Really a great song, without these (for me) irritating dance ingredients. No doubt, she is a deserved winner.<br />After all I think the background for my problems with Loreen official song is a certain "phobia" against techno and dance music.Braudelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401850518188492952.post-84789928989604559342012-05-01T12:15:00.540+03:002012-05-01T12:15:00.540+03:00Thanks for your comment!

I'm actually happy when somebody dares voicing their concerns about the overall fan favourite, there are years when that practice has not been very welcome at all.<br /><br />I do think it is one of the best songs this year, but I'm not really convinced it will have as smooth a ride as most people suggest. We know that it works with the fans and in (parts of) Northern Europe, but how will the rest of the televoters react to it?<br /><br />I'm willing to bet that you are not alone feeling like this towards "Euphoria", it will be interesting to see how big a support it really has come the final.TobSonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901219097013459250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401850518188492952.post-24363564054769186642012-05-01T12:00:09.081+03:002012-05-01T12:00:09.081+03:00It's quite surprising for me but I can't g...It's quite surprising for me but I can't get along with Loreen's song Euphoria, even loving parts of it. The first 55 seconds are awesome,just perfect, but when she's starting with the repetive ah, ah, ah.... - taking up the dance beat vocaly - my whole "euphoria" is gone. The "dance" character of the song is becoming too dominant and destroyng the fragile balance between the voice and the beats that was creating the fascinating mystic impression in the beginning. <br />Looking around in ESC blogs you find freaky reactions nearly all over and nobody seems to notice this or even to share my problems with the song. I feel a bit stumped, perhaps I'm too dated for dance music of our days.Braudelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401850518188492952.post-14613376584347408172012-04-25T22:34:49.237+03:002012-04-25T22:34:49.237+03:00I seriously think that Finnish is a good language ...I seriously think that Finnish is a good language to sing in and that Finlanders might be a bit too heavy on themselves. Having said that, Finnish lyricists have not always taken care to avoid the most difficult sounds and phonems when they write eurovision songs. <br /><br />For me, the Abba rule of pop should always be remembered: in pop music, the most important thing is that lyrics sound good. If you can also make the well-sounding lyrics mean something, that is an added bonus.<br /><br />Food for thought...TobSonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901219097013459250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2401850518188492952.post-44460406312655843762012-04-24T15:05:47.340+03:002012-04-24T15:05:47.340+03:00It is strange how Estonia manages to make their la...It is strange how Estonia manages to make their languate sound appealing and we in Finland rarely manage to do the same. I believe that people who cannot speak finnish really cannot tell the difference between these two languages.<br /><br />Am I wrong here, does estonian language sound different, in some way less strange than finnish to foreigners ears?Mikko Suhonenhttp://300levya.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
