Chisu again, eurovision
I already posted this once in the last Hitz from Finland, but like the Very Smart Person I am I managed to miss the fact that a) there's actually a video for this too and b) it was already on youtube when I did this the first time with an audio-only clip, haha. So I'm using that as an excuse to post it again! Chisu - Muut:
The more I hear this, the more it strikes me exactly as the sort of thing that tends to go down splendidly here at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
poptimists, so I'd love to see some discussion on it! It'll probably end up as one of the singles of the year for me (the fact that it's playlisting on top 40 radio at the same time as No Air kinda makes this THE BEST MONTH EVER).
Last-minute addendum: and someone obligingly put up her brand out-this-week new radio single just ten hours before I posted this (hurrah internets! good work with the mindreading, there), so you get that too:
Not as smashing as Muut, because what is, but it's really not far behind either. Lovely!

And as Eurovision draws closer, I'd like to make the statement that Armenia can TOTALLY win this year as far as I'm concerned:
Another favourite is Bulgaria:
For the first minute you almost think this is going to be history's first instrumental Eurovision entry, and then it slows down and goes reggae-flavoured for the vocal bit, and it is AWESOME. Top-notch work overall, I really hope they do well!
(As a sidenote, anyone not heard yet abt Russia enlisting Timbaland to beef up their entry? OH RUSSIA, NEVER CHANGE.)

What do you think of freestyle (Miami and New York dance style in the '80s)? Some of it, the New York heavily emoted variants especially, is very much what "Quele Quele" seems to be going for. A couple of links:
Judy Torres "Come Into My Arms" (a fangirl's video, so that's not Judy herself doing the lipsynch)
Cynthia "Change On Me" (some fan's artsy fartsy video)
