Last note about ESC
Yeah, I have to admit that I was really angry and disappointed on Saturday after the ESC contest because I always have the pink idea in my head that Europe can appreciate the QUALITY music (sorry but for me the grannies from Russia are really cute, but don’t fit for this category) and doesn’t vote about who is who’s friend…
I think Compact Disco made a great LIVE band performance, and for me THIS IS THE REAL MUSIC, not a bubblegum pop song, and in my opinion this 19 points didn’t address to the song, more to the country. But they are not lost at all, because thanks to the Eurovision Song Contest they made 16 record contract with different countries and Europe got to know them!
By the way, I have to admit that there are good benefits of Eurovision: You have the possibility to get to know SUPER artists from other countries and without ESC maybe, you never meet them. I have the luck to find two new favourites whom I mentioned in my previous post. There is one common thing Compact Disco, Sinplus & Max Jason Mai: They did something total different at the ESC! They went to the stage with LIVE band, and did total different than the other artists!
First one is Sinplus from Switzerland, who were Compact Disco’s one of the biggest competitor in the 1st semi-final. Experts said, Compact Disco or them will be in the grand-final and this theory was total true because they were 11th, my country was the 10th on the list and Compact Disco went to the final.
I watched some interview with Gabriel and Ivan, and they are so nice and talented (okay they are handsome, too but in music for me it’s not a point, but I have confess Gabriel has one of the cutest laugh I have ever heard ;))!
I listened their new album “Disinformation” and it’s a so cool and fresh music, the only problem is that, it’s too short. My favouites Unbreakable, Turn On the Lights, Get Off & Roll the Dice. I think they should deserve the final, but I wish them so much luck, and I hope they will come to Hungary!
The other one is Max Jason Mai from Slovakia! My heart bled for him because he didn’t get enough vote for the final (moreover he was the last on the list:() He got a lot of critics about he has a false voice, and just screamed etc.
First of all, if somebody sing in live, you always will hear false notes, and in rock and metal style, it’s not about perfect singing, more than the feeling and to rock the stage! He and his band did a great atmosphere and I had the feeling that I am on a concert. He is really talented, just check this video in which he sang 5 ESC songs:
And he made a great friendship with Compact Disco and I am really appreciate in him that after he spilt from the 2nd semi-final he supported on Twitter & Facebook Compact Disco and inspired the Slovakia to vote for Hungary. Compact Disco said that they will do a collaboration in the future, so hardly waiting for it! So I would like to wish Miro good luck and do your music!!
Btw, watch this interview with him, because it’s so funny. He interviewed the Hungarian interviewer :D
