So we crash on with the first semi final in this years Eurovision, and it's Turkey's turn at song number five!
But, but, it's time for a Traditional Turkish Ethnopop song this year and they give us rock!!! I submit my evidence:
2007: Ethnopop - you remember the wee small chappy being revealed from a big quality street wrapper with the song "Shake it up Sekerim", or whatever it was, right?
2008: Turkish Rock - Mor ve Otesi sang the rock song "Deli" about their favourite place to buy a spot of lunch.
2009: Ethnopop - Hadise took my favourite song of the year, "Dum Tek Tek" to Moscow and shook her tush like the Turkish Beyonce she is!
2010: Turkish Rock - ManGa rocked Oslo with silver robot woman, sparks, epilepsy-inducing flashing lights and, oh yes, geetars!
So there was I, looking forward to a bit of ethnopop from Turkey this year, and this is what I get!!! (well, what we all get tbh):
Where's the bellydancing, flowing fabrics and bongos???
Having said that, I do like a bit of Turkrock, and this is a solid entry from Turkey. A fair bit of a grower though and I can't see a lot of people loving this from the outset. However it's Turkey and they always do well, so a Top 10 finish is likely.
Danpoints out of a hundred: 70
Is it getting out of the Semi Final?: It's Turkey and so it's bound to...
Would be better sung by: ManGa or Mor ve Otesi I guess!! :)
What Would Terry Wogan Say?: "It's during a song like that that you really notice the set, don't you?"

Not sure about this one or even last year's entry. I loved Hadise in 2009 though!
