TRT reacts to Turkish rumours with names

As usual the rumours in Turkey have been running wild for weeks or months already - except the annual Tarkan for Turkey! Where is it this year? - and while names have been announced and denied by artists or TRT or just proved false TRT has now revealed its top-5 names they would like to have representing the country in Baku 2012: Atiye Deniz , Hande Yaner , Sebnem Ferah , Murat Boz and Erhan Güleryüz/Ayna . As we know Hande Yaner and "the tallest pop star in the world" Murat Boz have already expressed their uninterest for the job that leaves Atiye and Sebnem as front runners but then, they can also say no. If these claims are true the Turkish name should be announced mid-January, should the negotiations fail we may have to wait a bit longer. Or on the other hand, this may be or not be the TRT's working list. Who knows who they are really searching for as also last year's name was a total surprise to everyone (this said, they missed the final for the first time when ...

Turks want Murat Boz

TRT has having online poll once again to see who the Turks want to represant them. This method has been used the past a couple of years and indeed the favourites have ended up on Eurovision stage. Instead of having an open poll they have proposed five names instead so could this mean these five have agreed to go to Germany if chosen? Three of these names are very familiar and rumoured and tipped already before namely Murat Boz,  Emre Aydın and Şebnem Ferah. Hande Yenerand Atiye Deniz arenew names on this list. Previosuly both Aydın  and Ferah have turned Eurovision down if my memory doesn't completely fails me, or at least have rumoured to have done so.  At the moment the situation looks like this: 1. Murat Boz   30% (2.479 votes)   İki Medeni İnsan Maximum Sallana sallana 2. Emre Aydın  28% (2.388 votes) Alıştım Susmaya Bu Yağmurlar   Git 3. Hande Yener   14% (1.214 votes) Bodrum   Sopa Romeo 4. Atiye Deniz   14% (1.205 vot...

Turkey 2010: Is it one of these?

TRT launched an email voting for the fans to name their favourite singer for Turkey in Oslo 2010 some time ago and apparently these four names were the most voted for: maNga , the band that won the MTV Europe music award 2009 for Europe's favourite act, Armenian-Turkish alternative rock star Hayko Cepkin , Emre Aydin who won the same MTV Europe award maNga did a year before, singer-song writer Sebnem Ferah and pop singer Murat Boz . TRT is now negotiating with the artists in question - all of them mentioned many times the past couple of years as possible entrants, or wished for - and also trying to figure out what kind of an act would do in 2010: male, female or a band. If this top-4 turns out true it is quite remarkable Tarkan is not on it.... and why no one ever mentions Mustafa Sandal ?
