Re: Sanomi - way to go, Belgium!

En réponse à Tim May :

I personally found that they had the most original song ("best" song is a
bit difficult to say, and the main singer sang a bit out of tone, but that
was nothing compared to the Russian girls or even the Turkish singer! :) ).

Me neither. I suppose it was all about the fact that the song was about the
emancipation of women in Turkey, not about the quality of the song itself...

Still, in many things the votes were purely political ones, and I don't
believe one minute about the televoting, especially when it puts the
Russian song to third place and the Austrian one to 6th place, even before
the Polish song which was one of the best of the whole contest!

Oh well, let's not begin ranting :)) . The Belgian position was largely
deserved (at 2 points from the winner, it matters actually little who
actually won, especially since we will have forgotten within a month what
that song looked like, while we won't forget the tune of Sanomi for a long
time :) ).

And Esther Hart, for the Netherlands, won the prize for best performer
chosen by all the former winners of the Eurovision! :))))

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
