Re: Eurovision Song Contest 2008 (20th - 24th May)

Switzerland - Era Stupendo - Paolo Meneguzzi:



I guess it's Serbia's win last year that's lead to this large number of non-english songs this year. Difficult to know what to make of that - it could really do with atleast having a bit in English, and I think it might sound ok on the big stage - plenty belting notes to hit, plus some totty for the women.

It's a bit predictable tho - altho it picks up with a bit of a beat at the end which is a nice change of pace from the ballad. Ultimately though, we've heard it all before - and it's not gonna get any votes from anywhere other than Western Europe.

Bit of controversy over this one too - claims that its a copy of a 2006 song - make your own mind up:



Quite a shameless rip off really. Might not get away with that if the original writers kick up a stink.
