Get in the mood with this!
Final tonight also in Slovenia where refreshingly there has been no semifinals or semifinals but just straighforward final tonight with ten songs. Listen to the songs here. Ema used to be one of the most plastic and kitch national selection one can imagine - yet with some great songs in there - but they have taken a new approach to it after recent disasters. And a very solid pack it is! It's very interesting to see what Slovenians will pick! One of the best national finals of the season for sure. Partisans are incredibly annoyingly catchy, Feliks makes BeeGees live again, Maja offers Slavic drama, April Gaga Italodisco just like Sylvain & co, Nina some summer pop, Omar classic Eurovision pop in and oldfashioned way just like Time to Time. Leelookamais is a bit more challaneging and Tabu a bit more poprock. The strongest national final of the season for sure. I would be happy with anyone winning but if I have to cut someone out it'd be Tabu. And Leeloojamais and Time to time. Anyone else will do nicely, thank you.
UPDATE: Finally a different stage! Well done Slovenia! The show looks and sounds fine here (the webcast in eurovision.tv isn't working) and I missed the partisans. But Tabu were good and Nina fab! Maja: wow that was boombastic and dramatic. A classic Slovenian explosion - that they usually never send even if they should. But has the time of these songs passed? Anyways, would be a good choice anyways. With so many goodies to choose from I wonder what they will send?!
Feliks is good songwise, too, but lacks the stage presense of the ladies so we can finally eliminate someone from the top :-) Leeloojamais would stand out in any other lineup but this one. Shouty and confusing. The worst so far - yet not bad. April: Slovenian Lady Gaga indeed but it doesn't matter. The song's very catchy, vocally not maybe the best but in the line up for Eurovision at the moment this would stand out like a needle in the eye so... Another very good choice if selected! Sylvain & co: We stay in discotheque. Not as annoyingly catchy as Lady April, still a song many national finals would have needed to spice up things a little! Though this lacks a memorable hook that would make people vote for this one. It's nice but not irritating or annoying that would cause some real reaction.
Time to time: Propably the worst choice Slovenia could make tonight. Simply just not going anywhere and the family trick is already old with two pairs of twins in the line up in Dusseldorf....Last but not least Omar Naber. This song feels a bit fake, like manufactured on board for Eurovision adding all the cliches - musically that is, Omar didn't strip! Sing-a-long chorus, chamber music influences in piano and overal... well, not so impressive if you listen it a bit better. No, the winner must come from the ladies! :-) Or is it time for revolution?
The jurors Darja Svajger, Severina and someone who hasn't sung in Eurovision (?) will rank the songs with 1 to 5 points and the top-2 gets to the televote. ... April is the first superfinalist!!! :-) And the second one is Maja Keuc!! Excellent excellent!!! Now starts the televote. Two very different songs to choose from, both very good! Love the jury! But Maja? Or April? Or Maja? Or April? I'm happy with both but maybe... April?
Oh no, Africa paprika is on stage now! Sporting one of Nina Hagen's old looks.... Followed by Darja Svajger... don't tell me the third lady will sing, too? We already have the presenter belting out these songs....
