  1. Yugoslavia 1989 - Riva - Rock Me

    More opinions from a Croatian friend of mine: I'd say it's ambiguous. You can always read this "oh, oh" as you like. But I never got impression that "rock me" is a reference to sex. At least, native Croatian speakers don't feel "rock" has something to do with sex. But a foreigner or somebody who...
  2. Yugoslavia 1989 - Riva - Rock Me

    A Croatian friend of mine told me more details about this song: I don't think anyone in Croatia considered it "sexual". The line "rock me, baby" is in English, after all. Would you consider a French line in an otherwise English song a sexual reference if you aren't much familiar with French...
  3. Do you think "Vuelve conmigo" is overrated?

    Curiously enough, record company Jercar from Barcelona filed for bankruptcy in 1996 and Anabel Conde didn't get a penny despite her 2nd place in Dublin. In fact, "Vuelve conmigo" was never a hit or commercial success in Spain (it didn't even reach the charts) and only eurofans remember her...
  4. Yugoslavia 1989 - Riva - Rock Me

    This song is based on the 1950s but with typical 1980s synthetizers.
  5. Do you think "Vuelve conmigo" is overrated?

    Now I'm going to give you the translation of the lyrics: COME BACK TO ME I've felt the emptiness And a sleeping memory awakes again I don't have you with me And so much loneliness hurts me inside Who knows where you are? Who knows where you are? Come, come, come back to me Come, come, 'cause...
  6. Bring Live Music Back to Eurovision

    The pronunciation of non-native performers (especially those from Eastern Europe like Dima Bilan) is dreadful and lyrics are written in broken English with sentences that even English native speakers don't understand because they're gramatically wrong.
  7. Do you think "Vuelve conmigo" is overrated?

    Another demo was sent for the internal preselection made by TVE on 7th April 1995, its title was "Quédate" (Stay), also written by José María "Chema" Purón. Curiously enough, Anabel Conde's record was a commercial failure due to her lack of charisma and her weak body expression, it wasn't even a...
  8. Do you think "Vuelve conmigo" is overrated?

    The Swedish jury based in Malmö TV-huset at Jägersro (one of its members was late GT/Göteborgs Tidningen and Kvällsposten music journalist and critic Christer Borg) gave it 0 points, that is, Spain and, curiously enough, Norway were not in the top 10 which was read by SVT sport journalist Björn...
  9. What do you think of "Hombres" (Spain 1993)?

    Hello everybody. What do you think of the song "Hombres" that represented Spain in Eurovision 1993 performed by Eva Santamaría? I think it was a very fresh, innovative, original and modern song combining rap and Spanish folk music (copla/canción española/tonadilla), but its dance routine...
  10. What do you think of "Dieser Traum darf niemals sterben" (Germany 1991)?

    What do you think about the lyrics? They are likely to talk about German reunification (In fact, female vocalist Jutta Niedhardt was born in Thüringen).
  11. What do you think of "Nacida para amar" (Spain 1989), performed by Nina?

    Let's also admit it sounded as a rip-off of Céline Dion's winner last year and it didn't probably sounds 80s because the contest was considered back then as a family show. Moreover, the author was late famous composer Juan Carlos Calderón (Eres tú, Tú volverás, La fiesta terminó etc.) and Nina...
  12. What do you think of "Dieser Traum darf niemals sterben" (Germany 1991)?

    The Spanish jury based in Madrid (Estudio A-4 at Torrespaña studios) gave it :1: point, Denmark gave it :6: and Cyprus :3:, but at least it is more representative of German cultural essence than those cold and impersonal entries sent over the last years trying to mimic American singers.
  13. Do you think "Vuelve conmigo" is overrated?

    Hello everybody. I would like to make you a confession. I'm sorry to say that even if I'm a Spaniard, I think "Vuelve conmigo" is overrated and its 2nd position was exaggerated. I've got several reasons: Firstly, Anabel Conde has no charisma whatsoever and her body expression is not very good...
  14. Why are songs taking part in the Portuguese Festival RTP da Canção considered by some people as weak and amateurish?

    Thank you very much for your kind answer!!! I just wanted a civilized exchange of different opinions!!! ;) ;) ;)
  15. Yugoslavia 1989 - Riva - Rock Me

    Sorry for my insistence, but some people even say this song has got some sexual references and even innuendo, but actually I'm not really fluent in Croatian.
  16. Yugoslavia 1989 - Riva - Rock Me

    It was a retro song based on the 1950's (Jerry Lee Lewis etc.)
  17. Germany 1993 - Münchener Freiheit - Viel zu weit

    It was internally chosen by MDR and it was performed for the very first time in "Meine Show" (ARD) hosted by Dagmar Frederic on 15th April 1993.
  18. Germany 1993 - Münchener Freiheit - Viel zu weit

    Hello everybody. I would like to know your opinion about this song, their clothes reminded me of those worn by The Beatles, but the style of this band/group is more similar to symphonic rock that was very popular in the 1980's, they had successes like "Ohne dich (schlaf' ich heut' Nacht nicht...
  19. What do you think of "Dieser Traum darf niemals sterben" (Germany 1991)?

    Hello everybody: I would like to know your opinion about "Dieser Traum darf niemals sterben", performed by Atlantis 2000 which represented Germany in 1991. What can I say about this song? I think it is a very clichéd, boring, weak, old-fashioned, weak and forgettable schlager trying to imitate...
  20. What do you think of "Shiru" (Israel 1993)?

    Why did this song finish in a bad place? Israel's staging was very effective and had a well-studied choreography seeking easy applause.
