Şebnem Paker - Çal (21. Eurovision Şarkı Yarışması Türkiye Finali 1998)

"Mevsimler güzle gün Yâr gelir dört nebi Her bahar yalnızım Sevdama göz değdi"

"Seasons include spring and the mornings My love, here come the four prophets I am lonely every springtime; My love is touched by the evil eye"

This would've been Şebnem's third time at Eurovision--in a row. Every year she participated, she provided gems for the Eurovision canon (Beşinci mevsim is my third of 1996, and Dinle is my top 20 of all time), but it also makes me worry about if Cal would've exceeded Dinle's third place and given her the win.

That aside, Cal is awesome, in that it speeds things up significantly from both songs  Şebnem participated with, without letting go of the melancholic lyrics which appeared in her other two songs. This time, Sebnem turns on the pressure with her lover, in that she wants them to "play another song". I also love the traditional instrumentation, which is commonplace amongst 1990s Eurovision entries, but would accelerate in the 2000s.

Had it made it to the contest, I think it would've fought off with Neka mi ne Svane and Aava for the ethno-vote. That said, if it ended up in the same place in the running order as Unutamazsın, it would've stood out amongst the last three songs. And thus, a better place on the scoreboard. :)

But would it be higher than Dinle amongst her songs for me? I don't know.

Well THAT was a nostalgic trip down memory lane with Elena Paparizou (Greece 2001 & 2005), Charlotte Perrelli (Sweden 1999 & 2008) and Sertab Erener (Turkey 2003)

DUSTIN THE TURKEY JUMPSCARE

[vogelmeister]

anyways in 2019/2020 i went on a rampage on eurovision youtube regarding lena and maNga (nothing too wild, i was 18, but mainly just calling them out on being plain delusional and then getting called racist in return) and i still get salty maNga stans replying years later and its honestly so pathetic the more time goes by. grow up. get a hobby. who the fuck cares. you found my four year old comment and you decided to argue back.

Obsessed with the amount of love Dustin the Turkey is getting from the rest of Europe.

Most Irish kids like myself who grew up in the 90s grew up watching him on tv every day.

Apart from the nostalgia the character is genuinely one of the funniest and wittiest characters on Irish TV.

Also I can still remember being at a science show as a kid and Dustin made a surprise appearance and myself and the other kids lost our absolute shit.

Also please what this clip from the Den, it's one of the most funniest things I've ever witnessed:
