Sadly the band, the songs writers, publishers, recording engineers etc. everybody who was involved with the song died in a horrible plane crash. |

Rock Bottom by Lynsey De Paul and Mike Moran, this was the first time I watched the Eurovision Song Contest and now I don't enjoy as much as I used to. |

Thanks for the link Anthony - excellent stuff and I still wish the North African countries could compete in ESC.
The combination of Western and Arabic sounds (think Khaled and, to a lesser, Turkish degree, Tarkan) works really well.
This entry would win ESC2007. |

I think it`s very good actually.
Us UK musicians and writers often use Morrocan, Lebanese and Indian influences on our work but very rarely give the accolade back when our work is given a firm nod back from the original art forms.
I had a long discussion with a producer friend of mine, as I was playing the notes "in between" the notes on the western scales, very much in the way that Samira`s vocal sits over the near standard backings.
I am yet to meet anyone who can sing like that.
The sad thing is, if you keep the backing music in your head for a bit, and think of a more "EuroStandard" friendly lyric and tune, you would probably beat the 7 points. |
