Blind in Texas

“If you be my star
I’ll be your sky
you can hide underneath me and come out at night
when I turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine

but you can skyrocket away from me
and never come back if you find another galaxy
far from here with more room to fly
just leave me your stardust to remember you by

if you be my boat
I’ll be your sea
a depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity
ebbing and flowing and pushed by a breeze
I live to make you free
I live to make you free

but you can set sail to the west if you want to
and past the horizon till I can’t even see you
far from here where the beaches are wide
just leave me your wake to remember you by”

Eu nu mai scriu.
Rain is sexy.

“I sense great vulnerability. A man-child crying out for love. An innocent orphan in the post-modern world.”
“I see a parasite. A sexually depraved miscreant who is seeking only to gratify his basest and most immediate urges.”
“His struggle is man’s struggle. He lifts my spirit.”
“He is a loathesome, offensive brute. Yet I can’t look away.”
“He transcends time and space.”
“He sickens me.”
“I love it.”
“Me too.”

Deja bate la usa. M-am gandit sa analizez si eu piesele de anul asta.
Am scris doar despre cele gata calificate in finala, daca vreti sa vedeti si semifinala youtube si google va stau la dispozitie.

ESC - The Final
*insert ranting*
*insert Lordi*
*insert some more ranting*

Songs (in ordinea intrarii pe scena):
1. Bosnia & Herzegovina: Maria ŠESTIĆ - Rijeka Bez Imena (rank: ***)
link
O piesa buna doar noaptea la ora 12 dupa ce-au plecat musafirii si tu bei ultimul pahar de vin. Nu o sa aiba impact nu pentru ca este lenta, ci pentru ca nu o sa inteleaga nimeni
nimic. Si nici nu au posibilitatea sa faca show pe ea, plus ca au cam stricat-o pe la mijloc cu niste orientalisme. Pacat. E draguta, dar nu pentru ESC.

2.Spain: D’NASH - I Love You Mi Vida (rank: **)
link
Este genul de piesa care ar putea fi difuzata excesiv in discotecile de la mare timp de maxim o luna. Dupa o luna ajungi sa o urasti (daca nu ai urat-o din prima). Pe mine ma
plictiseste groaznic. Stereotipul ESC: ceva pop amestecat cu un pic latino sau orientalisme.

3. semi final qualifier

4.Ireland: DERVISH - They Can’t Stop The Spring (rank: *****)
link
Bravo, Irlanda, ca de obicei. Printre cele mai bune.

5. Finland: Hanna PAKARINEN - Leave Me Alone (rank: **)
link
Nu. Nu! NU! Stiti voi, ulciorul nu merge de multe ori la apa. In cazul asta se aplica versurile cantecului: “leave me alone I wanna go home”. Atunci de ce te-ai mai deranjat, cucoana?
Haista vittu! (pe scurt: nu-mi place)

6 Semi-Final qualifier
7Semi-Final qualifier
8Semi-Final qualifier

9.Lithuania: 4FUN - Love Or Leave (rank: **)
link
Varianta feminina a lui Pepe? Balada a la Mandinga? A nuh, e doar chitara. Si toba… Pacat de vocea ei, este genul de melodie pe care o uiti imediat dupa ce se termina, d-apoi sa
mai si votezi la sfarsit.

10. Greece: Sarbel - Yassou Maria (rank: **)
link
Da, am inteles, va place Maria. Dar ce s-a intamplat cu persoanele din Grecia care chiar pot canta? Aveti exemple in ultimii ani. Grecia are potential. De ce l-au trimis pe asta?
Din cauza ciocolatei? :)) Melodia in sine iti ramane in cap, ceea ce este bine. O fredonezi, gen “Dracula My Love’ :))

11 Semi-Final qualifier

12.Sweden: THE ARK - The Worrying Kind (rank: ****)
link
O melodie foarte draguta. ‘Feel good’ style. Imi aduce aminte de multe chestii, inclusiv de Gerard Way o.O Dar imi place

13 France: LES FATALS PICARDS - L’amour À La Française (rank: ****)
link
It made me smile. Another cute song. S-a trezit si Franta, au trimis ceva bun. Vreau sa vad daca o sa fac show bun. Are extrem de mult potential piesa, trebuie exploatata bine.
Merita. Si accentul este adorabil ^^

14. Semi-Final qualifier

15 Russia : SEREBRO - Song #1 (rank: **)
link
Chestia asta suna extrem de mult a Girls Aloud. Versurile sunt penale “put a cherry on my cake and taste my cherry pie”. Si beat-ul e enervant. O singura parte buna: Suna altfel decat
celelalte de la ESC.

16 Germany: Roger CICERO - Frauen Regier’n Die Welt (rank: ****)
link
Jazz? Jazz la ESC? Si vreti sa castigati? Trebuia sa va ganditi ce target are ESC. Ce public are. Cati credeti ca o sa voteze? La urma urmei vreti sa castigati, nu? Piesa nu e rea
deloc, mi-e chiar imi place, dar pur si simplu nu merge in context. Daca tot vroiati jazz, puteati sa trimiteti ceva mai ‘fast’. E prea lent si usor de uitat, mai ales pentru cineva fara
tangente cu jazz-ul. Oricum, piesa e buna.

17 Semi-Final qualifier

18 Ukraine: Verka SERDUCHKA - Dancing Lasha Tumbai (rank: ***)
link
This is <3. Stiu ca ucrainienii sunt foarte ofuscati pe piesa asta, dar e chiar tare. Extrem de amuzant, si costumele sunt perfecte =)). Is that a man or a woman? Conteaza? Votati!!!!
Ar fi genial sa castige :))

19United Kingdom: SCOOCH - Flying The Flag (For You) (rank: *)
link
Ce naiba? Are you mad? This just brilliantly sucks. Nici macar nu e catchy. E doar enervant. But then again, they never had anything good…

20Romania: TODOMONDO - Liubi, Liubi, I Love You (rank: ****)
link
Melodia asta chiar prinde. Acum depinde numai de cum o sa cante pe scena. Pacat de ‘Dracula, My Love’ totusi. Chiar daca piesa era mai mult decat idioata, aveam un Dracula
chiar din tara sa si se putea face un show superb. Oricum, s-a dus. “Liubi, Liubi, I Love You” este foarte catchy si probabil printre singurele care chiar iti raman in cap dupa ce s-a
terminat totul. <3

21 Semi-Final qualifier
22 Semi-Final qualifier

23Armenia: Hayko - Anytime You Need (rank: **)
link
Este plictisitor. Cheesy si plictisitor. Si nu s-au abtinut sa nu bage orientalisme in background.

24 Semi-Final qualifier

Ghid ‘Cum sa ai un profil jm3k3r pe Hi5′
- varianta de buzunar -

Presupunem ca deja aveti adresa de e-mail, eventual si cont pe Hi5 si chiar stiti sa pronuntati haifaiv.
Acum vine problema cea mare: cum sa-mi personalizez profilul ca sa fie cat mai kewl?

1) Varianta Emo
background: Aici sunt mai multe variante in functie de gradul de ‘emo-zitate’. Avem carouri pentru emo cu influente punk, buline pentru emo cu influente glam si cranii cu fundite sau dungi pentru emo fara nici o influenta.
culori predominante: in general negru si neon colours (d-alea de marker: ciclam, albastru fosforescent, verde praz yadda yadda).
poze: cat mai depresive, dar totusi cu multe dungulite si fundite. Si daca aveti si cu vene taiate pentru Ryan Ross sau Ville Valo e perfect (da stiu, nu e emo ca gen muzical, dar fanele sunt ” ” )
commenturi: cat mai fanatice despre formatia preferata. Dati add la toti oamenii emo pe care-i gasiti pe Hi5 si in cateva saptamani ajungeti la peste 3000 de views.
username: orice (de preferat ceva care contine Emo) flancat de XxX
exemplu: http://xhystericalxkidzx.hi5.com

2) Varianta Goth
background: simplu, negru si rosu sau gri. Eventual o poza foarte ‘dark’ (le gasiti pe www.glitter-graphics.com)
culori predominante: mult negru si rosu sangeriu
poze: mult negru, cimitire, variatii pe tema vampirism…
commenturi: multe poze mari cu “bloodred girls” - stil CoF artwork.
username: ceva cu Dark, Pain sau Blood
exemplu: http://crime-lord.hi5.com

3) Varianta (Tipa Cool)
background: ceva extrem de sclipicios pentru a atrage atentia si o poza gen 80’s pin-up varianta 2007; Ah, se accepta si poze cu avril sau kelly clarkson, dar nu uitati sclipiciul.
culori: pasteluri, roz, in general culoarea preferata (atentie sa fie cat mai deschisa si puternica pentru a nu trece neobservata) - si de acum in colo primul site de la bookmarks va fi www.glitter-graphics.com.
poze: haine cat mai putine sau posing sexy ca sa primiti commenturi multe multe de la oameni care va vor binele (in general peste 30 de ani)
commenturi: Glitter Graphics si multe :*:*:*:*
username: Ceva care sa va arate gradul de glucide. Zuit, Sweet, Poopik, Dulcik
exemplu: http://danidulcika.hi5.com

4) Varianta Tip Cool (fara limita de varsta)
background: model army sau o poza care se repeta obsesiv (cu tigru sau masina preferata)
culori: culorile echipei preferate de fotbal
poze: subsemnatul langa o masina, subsemnatul langa o tipa buna, subsemnatul cu ochelari de soare luati din piata, poza editata cu el si vedeta preferata
commenturi: chestii prin care va aratati aprecierea fata de prezenta unei persoane si doriti sa va apropiati. Si Multe :*********
username: Ceva cu Cool sau nume de rapperi.
exemplu: http://joecrespo10.hi5.com

Si nu uitati tag-ul de Hi5 VIP Member.
In general varianta Emo are cel mai mult succes datorita extinderii numarului de astfel de persoane (si implicit a ratei mortalitaii datorita ideilor suicidale) => scade sporul natural
Si daca nu primiti commenturi, in loc sa jucati barbut sau macao pe dezbracate puteti sa faceti pariuri de genul asta.
Multa bafta!
