Chickendoodle Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Didn't expect to like it at all but I think it has instant appeal Sounds like all the old Matt Munro / Nat King Cole ballads I love so much. Old Englebert's voice still has it. Might appeal to the Eastern Bloc countries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I heard it last night and rather liked it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvonne Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hmmm I quite like it too. Whilst he doesn't look great (looks like some "work" has been done on his face) his voice is still strong. Good Luck Englebert ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Me too, but I have heard this morning that we have been drawn to perform first, so everyone will have forgotten us by the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I rather like it too. Anyone else think it sounds like something from a musical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickendoodle Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 It reminds me a bit of Music of the Night from Phantom - probably the high notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 He;s up against some grannies from some East European country (i think!!) could be in-ter-esting if they are all OAP's this year. No skimpy (I hope) outfits and booogying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 The grannies are from Russia and very funky it is too - I think I prefer it to Engelberts - i suspect it might be become a hit in Grande Bretagne cos we like stupid songs. Not sure how many have their own teeth but I suspect the youngest is 80 so whats a few teeth between friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Got to admit I wasn't a fan when I heard it on the radio this morning. However, we could write and perform the best song ever and would still get minimal points due to the politics couldn't afford to win and host it anyway after the Olympics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percy049 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 We came 11th last year. I think Europe like us now (well, Blue anyway), as we would have come 8th if it was just televoting, and not the combined scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I haven't listened to it yet but have already changed my Facebook avatar back to my Jedward one in support of them because they're representing Ireland again I had a racehorse called Hurricane Fly as my avatar then changed it to another, Big Bucks last week but decided to change it again yesterday but couldn't be bothered to find a new one, I know it's early but I like those boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lillybettybabs Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 lol.... I think it has a Spanish feel to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 lol....I think it has a Spanish feel to it. When I heard it it reminded me of one of those songs that was played over the opening scenes of a rom com set in the med and starring Sophia Loren..if you know what I mean?

Seagazer Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I quite like it, I don't expect it to win at all. It definitely has a nod to Matt Munro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I quite like it too Must admit I heard a few lines of it on the radio yesterday and thought it was the Whitesnake song but slower It's not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavenders_Blue Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I heard this song for the first time yesterday and I also really like it. I don't think it'll be a winner though, there's bound to be some obscure Eastern European country leaping about in weird costumes to some vaguely ethnic-y sounding pop music that will steal all the points!
