Eurovision 2007 Bulgaria(Winner) - Elitsa Todorova and Stoyan - Voda=Water

another song-live!!!

http://www.elitsatodorova.com/index.php?menu=view_biography
Todorova worked as a soloist at the State Dance
and Music Ensemble in Varna and the “Cosmic Voices of
Bulgaria” Choir where she performed authentic Bulgarian
folk songs, and compositions in Yiddish and Sanskrit.
In 2003 Elitsa Todorova began working with Bulgaria’s
most popular and renowned drummer and percussionist Stoyan
Yankoulov. The unique Elitsa Todorova-Stoyan Yankoulov Duo
turned into a phenomenon in no time. Their high
professionalism and perfectionism underlies all their
performances.

Stoyan Yankoulov records plenty of jazz, pop and ethnic music.
This has significantly influenced his unique playing style. He
manages to produce orchestra sound on percussion instruments.
Sometimes the listener has the impression that there is more than
one percussionist playing. “The acquisition of other techniques -
from bass, piano or other instruments is useful in this process.
For me to play means to communicate.”

Yankoulov breaks and stretches the traditional way of playing
drums, tupan, percussion by applying new techniques and
non-standard musical ideas. Combining authentic folklore with
new ways of expression with percussion instruments Stoyan
Yankoulov reveals the unlimited variety and emotional intensity
of the unique Bulgarian culture.

Yep, The Worrrying kind is not their strongest, but it’s ok song. Finland is represent by Hanna Pakarinen, former Idols winner from year 2004. Hanna’s song Leave me alone is kinda boring.

well i bought myself the CD with all the tracks but sad enough i have to say that there is not a single song I really like. Most tracks are just plain rubbish. At this stage my favourite would b Britain (and it really hurts me to say this).
By the way when the British entry was chosen there were talks of a set up. Several acts with better songs and bigger names were totally ignored.

So Serbia won, i was going for Russia.

And you’ve gotta love the FYRoMacedonia’s entry. I thought it would have got a little higher. They seem to be quite good with their cheesy pop songs :-)

The voting was SO odd, i could of guessed alot of them, i didnt enjoy that bit at all, its spoling it now. Part of me thinks they should go back to the judging system.

Well a friend of mine in Germany said they have been talk of pulling out, as reports are saying that eastern bloc countries have no monitared voting system because they can not be ? ( i dont know why) and that some knew what votes they were getting already. Germany wants to cut funds as they dont have a chance along with rest of Western europe as its getting worse each year as seen. Same report came out of Malta who gave UK 12 points out of protest and said after how easy it is to fix it. ( thats shocking but just shows how bad it is)

I think all counties should go in semi finals then we wont waste out money and all the Western european counties dont have to shift the bill for finals then. Now thats fair. Just spoils it cos next year its going to be same, and its going to get worse, spolis the fun and i used to love it, but its no suprises and the fun been sucked out of it. Weres before it was jealous of the winner, but now its politcal and very plain thats something is going on.

I must agree with Judith here. Eurovision has lost its magic. I have been a Eurovision fan since I can remember, I loved watching it, learning the songs and a bit of each country in each edition. I still can remember when Eurovision was a contest among a chosen few. that was not fair and when the jury chose the winner... opening the votation to the general public, was a great idea but allowing countries to sing in English was a draw back. Eurovision was meant to be a platform for artists but also a chance to show their culture and identity as a country and catch the attention of the potential tourist. Today I can only see that all countries are becoming mere copies, that they are in interested in art anymore but in provocation.

Also, English speaking countries should complain about the quality of the English in Eurovision songs. Oh my Lord Gracious!

Likewise, Swedes should sing in Swedish , Swiss in one of their four official languages.. and so on.— The only thing I can say in favour of this year’s winner is that the song was ok and that they sang in their language. That was Eurovision- Oh I still remember Tommy Nilsson singing En Dag, or Carola winning in Italy... where have all the good ones gone?? Gone to Eurovision? No. not a single one.

I totaly agree. But again Spain is not a real model for anyone and for anything... I guess no one in Spain really wants Spain to win Eurovision since what we send there is ... let’s be polite and say not good enough.
