I'll vote on Saturday [MENTION=12848]MARCOMEN[/MENTION] - could you perhaps help with my NF? I'll PM the songs over to you, if you had the chance to listen and vote by tomorrow

 

[RainyWoods]

has just voted. I'm starting to notice with your NFs Oualid that there's always one song that slays me hard beyond the others, it usually ends up winning your NF and then doing very (sometimes extremely) well at WorldVision. So having said that, go my 10/10

Thank you so much ::na and for voting

Sorry I couldn't find the time to vote. Bless those Kelly Family songs! Their original version of Nanana is better, though.

 

[EurovisionSmile]

I wish I did have the time to vote. I've spent the whole weekend too busy. :? Sorry Oualid! I hope that something as good as usual comes out of this NF.

 

[JSSArcos]

And so my adventure begins ... Stay tuned

 

[JSSArcos]

What can I promise? LOTS OF DIVERSITY ... it will be a little bit of everything, within the genres I have already sent, but mainly Folk, Indie and rock. Maybe explore a little more just the instrumentals, can i promise some "pearls" too

and for WV # 124 ? I haven't had time to research many songs, but I already have in mind what to send to the WV124, it will be a very epic folk ballad (with spoilers )

Why did I decide to move to Ireland? After a unique and great experience, where I to get my 2 win in the contest, I felt that I needed to change, I felt that I needed to change, as I mentioned, this change is mainly due to 3 bands, which I really love

If you have any questions / curiosity write

the last few weeks have been very busy, but I want to thank everyone here who congratulated me for this change (on the topics or by private message), you are all amazing people, THANK YOU

@Milos-BC Thank you for continuing my work in Finland, I believe I will love what you are going to send, I look forward to it, I hope you continue enjoying my entries

 

[Milos-BC]

Great intro, really loved it. I also love that we share a similar philosophy when it comes to our own entries. I will proudly continue your work in and I will ensure that the legacy you left there is a lasting one. Also looking forward to your entries in , I am sure I will enjoy them.

Result: 14 place - 109 points

 

[Milos-BC]

Just like I expected, outstanding choice! Good luck

Thank you
I also just saw that you sent Nightwish !! always an excellent choice (of my favorite metal bands), the album "Human. :II: Nature" it's really very good

 

[Milos-BC]

Thank you so much, I am glad to hear that you like the choice I agree, the latest Nightwish album is really good and I wanted to have my favorite band as a debut entry I was struggling between two songs but Pan is my overall favorite on the album so I've chosen that one. Really glad to hear those words

 

[EurovisionSmile]

I had high expections to what your choice concerns. And you didn't disappoint me at all, João. I have this song stuck in my head for a few days already! The words to define are, IMO, pure beauty! It deserved much more than it got, ofc. But it's the effect that the song has on others that counts from the 2nd place down. And I'm a big fan of it. I don't remember of ever listening to it before. Considering its lyrics and the characters involved in a TV show I loved to watch so much, this simply leaves me speechless, I confess.

I'm so happy to know that you liked it , I agree with everything you said, I didn't know this song specifically, but as soon as I heard it, I kept it in my head, it has a very captivating melody. Incredible words on your part, thanks for this reaction, this is the most important for me . Yes, my draw didn't help

I already wanted to write on your thread Norway, but I haven't had time yet. Speaking totally of the heart, for me it is one of the best songs from WV (since I participated, of course), when I first heard in the semi, I knew it would be my 12 in the Final. This is so wonderful. everything is perfect in music, its high moments are purely epic, and when the melody is low, we have moments of art with only instrumental, with a perfect combination in both. Merethe Soltvedt's voice is strong, powerful and beautiful.
Thanks for showing me this, THANKS
