It's that trashy time of the year again!

Again?? Shit, this last year really went by so fast...

... and I don't even know who's in the running for Germany.

Frankly, I don't know a single song this time. Just putting this thread up because I wanted to do it for once!

Germany entry is Cascada ....

anouk from the netherlands!

Very un-eurovisionesque and very beautiful

Oh, right.

I had to google it... that song sounds pretty familiar, but I can't quite place it.
Just a typical run-of-the-mill disco stomper with a kitschy refrain and horrendous lyrics ("I want to live before I die" - Walt Whitman, eat your heart out). Top 5 for sure.

Maybe I'll get drunk and watch it. Heh heh.

You must have googled another anouk

Just giving it a listen... very pretty, quite captivating.

The song's okay, too.

Seriously, that's a very good song, but I don't think it has a chance. Too high-brow for the Eurovisionese.

I read many very positive tweets about the cascada song from people within the uk. Guess the lyrics mustbe okay then.

I'm not inclined to take Eurovision so seriously but every time it comes around I think that going back to the native language concept would do it a world of good - English has a way of streamlining it.

My word - the Cascada tune is better than I thought! Maybe the 90s eurodance style has steeped long enough to go from bad to cool.

i used to love it years ago when you would see some real music from these places rather than some english stype pop babllad nonsence.

the whole thing is a bit weird these days and now we dont even have old tel commentating so the comedy value has gone for the uk viewers

when isit though, might have aflutter, and Luftrum looks confident
