Ok, did everyone see a different Songcontest than I did? Because quite honestly, I hated Finland. I didnt like Russia either, nor Mazedonia.
My favourites were Greece, Sweden, Malta, Ireland and Germany. I especially loved Greece, and I was sure she was going to win, but then, I also loved Malta (last place with 1 point).
And exactly that is the reason why Austria boycotted the whole thing this year. Because the whole contest has nothing to do with music. Maybe next year one group will perform naked, with hand puppets on their genitals. New + crazy + and a bit insane guarantees first place!
Germany did much better this year. The lead singer was a teacher at the Fame Academy, which hardly anyone watched, a shame.
And what was that with Lithuania? That was not even funny anymore. All in all, a few good songs, inbetween A LOT of very bad ones.

The thing is, it isn’t about the music. A lot of the performances were out of tune, and it seems more like a talent show than whose music is the best. I watched the BBC Young Musician of the Year before, and that was about musicianship, that was about people who played music sensitively and passionately to a high standard. None of those needed costumes to make their music good. Watch out in the next week for the post – I’ve sent you something!

Hey Nicki, how did the guitarboy do yesterday? I would have watched that too, so inspiring! Oh, mail! I need to write to you too, I am so bad with that, a definite need for improvement! 😉 Have a great Sunday Nicki!

Well, with YMOTY there is only a winner, not first, second, third etc. He didn’t win, but he played excellently, one of the judges, a famous guitarist was saying how he was performing some of the most technically demanding things flawlessly. He really put emotion into the music. It is a shame you can’t download clips of them playing. It only happens once every two years, so the next one will be in 2008. My Sunday is being sent revising – my exams start properly this week ARGH. At least they finish the day before my birthday 😀 âž¡

Sorry for this extra post but he has a website http://www.speaking-guitar.com – you can listen to him there 🙂

Ok, I admit, he is really good. 🙂 Bummer that all of the billion channels that we have didnt show it.
Good luck for your exams Nicki, my thumbs are crossed! âž¡

All the people on YMOTY are very talented. Here we have a grading system 1-8, and then after that diplomas which are professional award. Those people are above diploma standard and under 18! Thanks – hopefully they’ll go ok 🙂

Ich mag das finnische Lied – ich bin ja auch eine alte Rockerin.
Ansonsten war viel seichtes Gesäusel dabei und all dieses arabisch angehauchte Ostblockzeug finde ich grottenschlecht (was ja nun nur mein Geschmack ist).
Das ganze ist NUR eine politische Sache – das war auch früher so, dass sich z.B. die Balkan-Staaten gegenseitig die Punkte zugeschoben haben.
Froh bin ich, dass es nicht mehr ein Schlager-Contest ist.
Ansonsten: Niemand muss sich das ansehen.

ist ein richtiger ohrwurm, das lied! uhm..ich hab ehrlich gesagt nicht lange geschaut..den kommentar hab ich nicht mitbekommen!
10:32 pm on May 21st, 2006
Aber es ist doch immer so lustig Anuschka! Und das schimpfen drueber macht MINDESTENS 50% davon aus. 🙂 Ich bin booooese! 👿
Ich glaube was mich an den Finnen schlussendlich gestoert hat, waren die Masken. Die haben mich an den Tod und die Stadien erinnert, und da bin ich grad etwas allergisch, das Lied selber hab ich gar nicht so mitbekommen, wegen den Masken. Hmmm.
Die Ostblocksachen mag ich auch nicht. Ich hab mich das aber nicht so sagen getraut, sonst glaubt wieder jeder wir sind alle Nazis, ohoh. Naja.
Dir alles Liebe Anuschka! âž¡

Yes, I figured. I was thinking if that boy is better than my guitar teacher… It would be a shame if they would stop now. But then, maybe for the people going on to College and Uni, it is too time consuming?

People like that often go to music conservatoires or music colleges, which is basically living, eating and sleeping music and music competitions and becoming a better player. I think 3/5 finalists were from those kind of schools.

*hihihi*
Ich schaue es auch vor allem wegen dem Lästern *bösekicher*
Oh ja wir bösen Nazis.
Mein türkischer Bekannter hat auch so einen Rufton auf’m Handy, mich schüttelts jedes Mal durch *G*
Die Masken fand ich auch nicht sonderlich prickelnd, ich hatte ja auch mit den Orks bei LOTR Mühe, warum weiss ich allerdings nicht genau.
Bei dir kann ich es jedoch gut nachvollziehen.
Wegen den Spamlinks:
Ich bin ja bei twoday und da haben einige diese Probleme auch. Ich wurde bisher verschont und bei mir kann man sogar kommentieren ohne registriert zu sein… Keine Ahnung, warum ich davon kam bisher.
Auch dir alles Liebe 😉
