Serhat coming 4th in SF's televote gave more life than God ever has.

 

[Fluke]

So happy for him! Maybe San Marino can really break the NQ curse from now on....

 

[RainyWoods]

Delivering vintage Serhat to you all on this fine afternoon.

 

[Juliette]

The main problem with this song is I can't get it out of my head.

I don't remember if anyone already commented on this, but...

WHAT'S HIS DAMN NUMBER NOW??!!

I think we all want to call him and let us tell by Daddy, that life is always beautiful and fine!

 

[crashworld]

Even Queen Valentina could not even achieve what Godhat has done. Amazing! Now we just need the most requested collaboration ever - Queen Valentina + Godhat since San Marino is already building the momentum.

 

[Milos-BC]

Best result ever So deserved, and I am proud of him. This guilty pleasure will certainly remain on my list

25th in Germany
25th in France
22nd in Belgium
23rd in Austria
25th in Switzerland
12th in the Netherlands

Ummmm. Remember the haters nagging about Turkish diaspora in Europe?

 

[Alaska49]

yeah, serhat actually did super well in the televotes of, like, eastern europe. his only western televote point in the final is a single point from iceland. is this one of those situations where eastern europe still likes things that are outdated in western europe because the iron curtain made some cultural nuggets arrive quite a bit later for them? or do they just have a different sense of humour?

I seriously believe that the Televoting results from San Marino are wrong as well. I wish wiwiblogs and other ESC Fan pages would report it as well.

How's possible that Greece gets 10 points whilst it's basically just Cyprus (12) and Albania (2) voting for "Better Love".

Like the Belarusian jury votes, the San Marino Televoting result is aggregated and should include the Televoting results of neighbouring countries/countries in the same pot like San Marino.

If we take this into account, this would be the correct Televoting results:


12 Italy 3,00
10 Russia 3,40
8 The Netherlands 3,60
7 Switzerland 4,00
6 Norway 8,00
5 Azerbaijan 9,00
4 Australia 9,00
3 Iceland 9,40
2 France 11,80
1 Sweden 12,40
--------------------------------
12 Russia
10 Greece
8 Italy
7 Cyprus
6 The Netherlands
5 Switzerland
4 Azerbaijan
3 Norway
2 Iceland
1 Israel

Leave San Marino's televoting alone please.

Leave San Marino's televoting alone please.

Don't get me wrong. Personally, I think that "Better Love" is the best Greek entry for years but I'm seriously mad at the EBU messing up with so many votes.

What's the point of coming up with aggregated results when they are too stupid to calculate them accordingly to their own rules?

Due to the wrong Belarusian jury votes and the wrong San Marino Televoting results, the EBU basically awarded a total of 116 points randomly.

That's crazy and it doesn't make the whole competition look more valid

As I've said earlier, our straight & married hunk UABC commentator basically acted like a fangirl, confessed his love to Serhat ("he's my idol") and said "my wife isn't jealous" during the final

STB commentator compared him to Ukrainian icon singer everyone pokes fun at.

I would say just having sense of humour at all

Eastern people cherish fun much more, and are naturally drawn towards one. Serhat’s performance really was just good fun and audience has rewarded it.

And btw, song may be a bit dated (or just retro? ), but it’s still catchy. Really catchy.

i will NOT imagine serhiy prytula/serhat fanfiction, alaska tells himself futilely.

also, yesssssss the san marinese televote is some bullshit. while san marino being in the cyprus/greece pot this year basically guarantees SOME manner of points to greece because of the exponential model they use, it definitely should not be 10 points. the weird thing is, when i calculated the aggregated result for their pot, it mostly matched the san marinese result EXCEPT FOR greece and cyprus being too high. it's so weird. unless san marino somehow had a valid televote all on their own i would like an explanation lol.

Serhat will release a German version of "Say Na Na Na" this summer. Probably inspired by the version of the German presenter Alina Stiegler:

Turkish singer Serhat produces a Germanized version of his ESC song for San Marino. "Serhat will be recording the German version of 'Say Na Na Na' in our studio next week, which we will release in the summer," said Manfred Holz of the production company Cap Sounds eurovision.de. The singer went to a German school in Istanbul and therefore speaks fluent German.

I've just added "Say Na Na Na" to the ultimate hall of fame. On my profile tab under "Favorite Eurovision Song" next to 3 other iconic songs.
I love it that much

And another major achievement in the bag for our chocolate-flavoured sugar daddy! When will others?
Next step: the Grammys.
