@Raki &Balik woa.. ok, you're not often here, but very productive.. look at the amount of information.. its enough for a few weeks lmao. Anyway, as i said, (multiple times) i'm commenting on music too.. although, not that active as before.. everything can be traced here. Go to go back to work but, (working fridays and saturdays at night..) but i'm watchin esctoday stuff))) my precious iphone make it possible. Bai.
raki balik u r so naive, he will never change u r wasting your time. he is obsessed with us and pain in the ass otherwise do u think a normal person could type same bullshits since 3 years? probably u don't know about his previous comments where he was acting like a true neo nazi!! he needs a therapist! and he doesn't have plans about the weekend all his plans is visiting esctoday and spamming about his nitemares lol check the time he posted his last comment he is a pc nerd and of course he isn't a Dutch;) certainly he cares about us so much thats why only thing he talks about is turks lol he is a muslim hater and he targets turkey cos turkey is the most powerful muslim country and his country was ex ottoman. if he changes im gonna stop visiting this site but sooner or later u will see im right as i told who could achieve to change hitler?
@Jessie hi again, since a long time i use this nick but i am a busy person, i am not here 24/7or comment on every article mainly i comment on Turkish articles but try to read other news/comments when i have time . And really i don't remember a comment of u which doesn't include sth related Turkey , they were all about Turks in a negative,offensive or ironic way so that makes me to think actually u care about Turks alot unlike u claimed that u ignore them. I hope im wrong and u r right. I haven't seen another user who all the time targets a nation or talks about history/geography, some users go mad when someone says they didn't like their song i can't imagine what would they do if a user criticizes their nation and country all the time.I think u r not fool and u know very well which part was the problem at your last comment, believe me there r many countries in europe whose cuisine is almost Turkish sometimes with Turkish names sometimes the same thing with different names, many of them uses Turkish words , watch Turkish shows , Turkish music had a big impact on their music culture, there are buildings in their countries that r built during ottoman by Turks but that doesn't mean they can't be proud of what they have if now these lands belong to them and not to us anymore it means they fighted for them and got them so what can i say except bravo.But just like i respect their history and countries, they must do the same too if not instead of moaning/complaining like a 5 year old they can come and try to get them it would make more sense at the end lol. i am so sure u got my point.I really don't have any problem with any nation there can be individuals that i don't like but i can never judge a whole a nation so be sure that i am not a dumb nationalist who tries to create a we r the best image but i also don't know a nation who is clean , every nation /religion had a dirty part in their history just keep it in mind.I repeat that i hope from now on i am gonna read what u think about our song or others' songs, if u like it or not, what kind of songs u wanna see in esc , what do u think about the performances etc... for me everyone must be fair and objective when it comes to music and since it is a music site it is what i expect from all members.Trust me many times u made your point about Turks and Turkey, people got what u think and what u mean so no need to repeat them over and over. What i suggest is lets don't continue anymore and enjoy the weekend though it is very cold and there is 20 cm snow on the ground , i am gonna try to enjoy beautiful saturday , i am sure u also have plans for the weekend so have a nice weekend and unlike others i would like to read what do u think about our song when they announce it.Take care now i am off for the cinema .
@Raki &Balik Seriusly, is this your new nickname? What was your previous name? As you said, esctoday Turks know me very well so and I know all of them .. most of them, alas, in my ignor list, I don't even read their comments.., normally, on other topics .. You know music stuff.. I do comment, though, there too. There are few Turks I speak with.. Ata and sometimes Angelic.. Btw., is she passed away or something? Didn't see her for ages.. Strange. About history.. Well, seems like you don't understand what I've tried to explain below.. This topic is about a ESC website with a lot of history stuff in it.. Pretty controversial.. There is always something controversial about Azerbaijan. And i'm not the only one who noticing that. People are not dumb, you know. I can't let it go.. Won't .. Will not.
lucas don't be funny please :) u can't use ancient names of cities in a contest to provoke people it is istanbul and u must say it in this way or we must say hello selanik instead of thesalloniki or macedonia and not fyrom? and obviously u don't know or say the truth . whole story is during the rehearsals of voting our hosts were saying good evening cyprus but the cypriot guy was insisting to say good evening constantinopilis and at the last rehearsal one of our hosts told would u like it if we say, good evening south cyprus instead of cyprus and he made the announce like it after that the cypriot guy told istanbul not constantinopolis.this is something that both the ebu's manager and our host told on the tv .
konstantinopolis is the greek name for instabul my friend! they didnt say HELLO SOUTHERN TURKEY!!!
@Lucas let me remind u in 2004 our hosts were saying good evening Cyprus but the Cypriot guy who was giving the votes was saying hello constantinopolis during all rehearsals despite the warnings by EBU
after watching a famous azeri show commenting the allocation draw, i noticed they called my country as 'kibris rum' and not as kipris!! i would like to inform them that in esc, ivi represents the entire island, whether some like it or not! dont make us live again the istanbul 2004 stories!!1
@surrounded i wanna believe in everyone has a good part dunno if i am being too optimistic lol @Jessie of course i know u, u r so popular amongst Turks lol i am not a new member here and whenever i see your comment it is either about turks or muslim countries or not related to music and very offensive , i told that u don't have to love turkey or islam(im turk but not muslim btw) but u must respect to others if u become a member of a esc site. There r many sites about politics/history if u r so interested in these things and don't care about music u can join these sites. About the history part that u mentioned , Balkans were Ottoman for 500-600 years so i think we also had a big impact on cultures of many countries (music,food,words,buildings etc) so what?i don't know why u r so hatefull but no country or nation is clean and i don't find it logic to talk about these things here. i want to read comments about esc songs cause it is the aim of this site. U can always comment about our song but when u talk about a nation and its history/culture etc it gives me the right to say u dont cross the line .In europe every country had/ has problems with some others really can u imagine what would happen if everyone starts to behave like u and talk about history or attack the countries that he dislikse? a total mess . And really people talk about the things which are valuable to them so if u don't think these nations or countries r valuable or important, just ignore them. it is what i do to be honest, even bad advertisement is an advertisement so why need talk about sth which has zero importance to me? maybe u met a turk who annoyed u or your family had some problems with muslim i really dont but don't make judgements about a whole nation so quickly. if u really live in NL believe me even turks of turkey r different than the immigrants in europe. Mainly uneducated, kinda religious people from the poor areas of countries had to leave their country when countries like germany asked for workforce . even many of these people aren't from the Turkish ethnicity but were living in Turkey for a long time , so don't judge a nation with some bad examples, for example despite some people really dislike your attitude still they target '' u '' not your country or nation . It is how an openminded adult must behave.Just think that would u like it if we start to insult your country-nation everyday?believe me it is so easy to find bad sides of nations since noone of them was/is an angel but we r here to see the good parts and to support the things that we like! i don't wanna believe u r that horrible as others say lol maybe u r just too young to analyze things correctly. Just please at least here start to obey the rules and try to ignore the countries/nations that u dislike . support the ones u love so u will see noone will be a problem for u and i will read your comments to check what do u think about a song trust me they will make more sense that time .
@raki balik, believe me he isn't a person that u can talk in a nice way he will never change, till he get a ban he will continue typing same old bullshits .it is his character he is a racist hater, who could achieve to change hitler? so don't waste your time , he isn't normal person thatswhy maybe only a very good therapist can help him. dont forget these words of me cause u will see i am so right ;) @agean blue he is a muslim hater, he will never like anything about muslim especially turks originally he is from a country that turkey controlled for long years and he still cries for it sen ona hic cvp verme sekerim bana birak ben onun ruhunu biliyorum sen tanimiyorsun onu .sen müzkle iligili konuski atılma siteden yada millet olayi biz baslatiyoruz aslinda biz poltik davraniyoruz sanmasin, bu pislik ırkcıların gercek yuzunu gorsunler. ben atilmayada raziyim sadece tek istegim su pisikte atilsin ama uyuyo galiba yıllardır bu turk azeri editorler , o yuzden bu kadar rahat hakaret ediyor bizi yıllardir.
@aegean-blue.. agree on that :) the rest of it looks quit good to me.
@Raki &Balik.. Umm, i'm sorry.., who are you again?? You sounds like you know me.. i can't say the same bout you.. though. Whatever. Anyway, i got to repeat (read my last comment to aeagean blue) that, this particular topic isn't about a song, songs, music etc., but the official website and its false information about history of the Azerbaijan. I didn't insult anyone, any nation. I didn't really talk about turks.. i just mentioned about immense greek cultural heritage in todays Turkey that noone can't deny.. and how would it look like if turks, against all odds, were using those as their own.. it was an example.. a comparison. No insults there :)
@jesse Omgoth ı respect your opinions about the azerbaijani site but think again maybe you can find good things in it too. For example there were many people that think are there any hotel in Baku to host esc visitors. The site you didn't like has an answer for it :) there is a list of hotels and their informations to comminucate them. I think that one is a positive side of the site.
sorry for the grammer/typing mistakes ,i am so tired and didn't check what i typed before posting. i hope what i tried to explain is clear.
@Jessie really is it so hard for u just to comment on the songs or make comments which won't offend anyone? do u think that u can change people's opinion here in a negative or positive way?Be sure u can't. If u want to gain people support and make them to hate Turks/muslims whatever u can join the politic parties of your country. There isn't another user like u who make these kinds of comments . If u don't like these countries or nations their history , culture,music why u care about them that much? it shows that u r obsessed with the things u repeat and they r so important for u.Noone has to love all nations-countries but if someone doesn't have mental problems must be respectful on an international music site.What is everyone here starts to behave like u and just talks about the history or bad parts of the countries that they dislike, a total mess which can must make everyone to be ashamed of their humanity. Trust me if u achieve to keep your hate inside u and try to behave a eurovision fan not a racist party leader people will care and respect your comments more. History is history today is today whatever u say won't change anything so actually u r just wasting your breath . People who like us will continue liking, who dislike will continue disliking your words and lectures won't make any difference so please keep hating us but ruin an esc site with these comments anymore, u made your point million times don't worry everybody got what u mean and we aren't as stupid as u think so u can stop repeating them at least once in every week, as u see im talking in a very polite and respectful to u unlike others i wanna believe in u are capable of doing the same thing too.
lol this guy is really abnormal u don't need to use a translation we already told u in english how disgusting u r and u r nothing but a Hitler-Breivik supporter, there are azeri turkish editors here hopefully they will notice your comments against us and u will be away forever , even if at the end i get a ban i won't let u fool around like before and spread your hatefull bullshits .
ugly idiot nazi jessayan now r u trying to play the victim ?everyone knows what kind of monster u r. who r u to say turks can't be proud their cities, we r proud of every part of our big beautiful country and actually it drives u crazy and makes u to talk about us nonstop lol. u r totally sick and worst user ever on esctoday. All u do since years is talking about turkey-azerbaijan our history race nation cause it hurst u so much in the ass . Everyone knows what kind of person u r and where r u from, why u come to this site , how u make people to feel disgusted of religious freaks and racists like u. but don't think that it will go like that, there were some others like u and they got bans even it was late , for sure one day an editor will notice your aim and your disgusting comments , may trolls got bans and very few left one of them is u and really when u r not around everything is very nice on the site . u r disgusting inside and outside i swear i have never seen such a horrible character like u in my whole life , i have seen jealous people who live in history and have the big pain in ass but at least they were smarter and more mature and lets say more hone u than y at least wasnt hiding real identity .really i am so sure just after some years we will read about u on the newspapers just like we read about the norwegian monster, if u can dare to say in these things in real to our faces instead of hiding behind a pc via a fake account give me your mail and lets organize a meeting to talk for long hours about europes history i would like to meet u in real alot! believe me ! lol but of course all u can do is typing same bullshits or copy pasting some sentences from internet to kill your time it looks like u have no friends or things to do except thinking about us and crying about the lands that u lost , whereever u type i am gonna follow u r giving a ridiculous name to your real nation , difference is u dream on about our lands, live in the days that ottoman was ruling u and we enjoy the day and beautiful turkey, a religious racist like u just a bullet to the humanity nothing else , my dog's shit is more valuable than your words at least it isn't the same every time and looks more interesting lol
And because of the.., maybe not that perfect (yet) Google translation service, i can really understand what some haters say about me in their language... lmao
agean blue sakın buna cevap verme pisligin tekidir o muhattap olma sen bole tiplerle canım:))))
@aegean-blue.. uhmm, pardon me.. i didn't talk about politics and races unlike some braindead beings did and suggests that i did. My comment was based on full of shi*ty, pulled straight out of as* bs of revised, twisted version of history of the place now known as Republic of Azerbaijan. :) Its all on brand new official eurovision website of them.. and this fact gives me and anybodyelse the right to talk about it legally especially here, in the article named.. Azerbaijani Eurovision 2012 website launched (All "information"(!) in one place)
Friends you got me wrong. I hate to discriminate people from their history and this not the place to argue it. This is an song contest page and I love esc so much and Im a fun of ESC. The one who don'T judge songs, judging nations is not me. I only give an answer to Jesse. HE İS the one who judge nations. He said éturks being proud of ancient greek cities, landmarks in today's turkey" this is an insult for me. And ı just answer it. I didn't start any argueing or nation subject exc. While I'm answering I used some undisputed facts to end the subject, if ı want to start a argue here I wouldn't use figures that history includes. Because giving an example from facts can easily make the end of the disgussion, there is no arguable side on facts. Thats whyt I told it. I have no malicious aim notime I just gaveanswer to someone. I didn'T start anything here. İf someone starts it, not me sure :) But okay I won't give an example from history to tell someone he thinks wrong,after now :) Because I'm really getting wrong and that disturbs me.
@agean blue don't get me wrong, i didn't want to be rude to u and i love turkey, turkish music very much , i know many turkish singers my brother is gonna get married a turkish delight xd but i think we must talk about music not politics , i saw a comment of you which was politic and i didn't like it. i also don't like people who vote for countries and not songs this is eurovision song contest . if a song is good we must appreciate it even if we don't like the country or the opposite i hope you understand me.
How sad when some people really pass away there won't be anyone around who will say R.I.P to them , instead of trying to gain respect and love , they choose the wrong way and become a big nothing that people pitty their miserable characters and lives :S @surrounded but there r more blue eyed people than green eyed ones in turkey, green eyes r the rarest ones in world along with gray ones but despite brown is the most common one in world-europe i prefer them to any other colour. brown eyes r the sexiest ones imo :) @aegean blue i agree with what surrounded told ,we must judge songs not countries or nations :)
[b]did you know turks and hungarians are number one in world with highest percentage of green eyes? [/b] yes with %20 . Actually Green and blue eyes were present in Siberia-Asia in Bronze age. @agean blue sen gercekten hep politik yada tarihi konusuyorsun canım lütfen müzik hakkında konus tarafsız bir sekilde su pisliklere prim verme
wow ugly jessesyan Breivik is back, why this guy never talks about music and always appears in the articles about turkey and azerbaijan to spread hate and say his bullshits, ahh i think we all know the answer lol what a huge inferiority complex and jealousy and a empty life it is he has nothing to do except coming to a site and type his same crappy comments under all articles. i really pitty u sicko u even don't have any friends who can take u to a good therapist? or probably even your parents don't care about u, racist religious ugly freak u r on the way of norwegian monster who was also coming to esc sites and probably was making the same comments with u. did u notice despite whatever u say turkey is still incredibly big, beautiful and have a wonderful history . just check this link very carefully and start to cry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tourism_rankings people like u just make us more popular nothing else lol u make us to feel how big and strong we r actually thats why some people just talk about us and care about us incredibly much while we dont give a damn to them or to their tiny countries , u r like a rat who tries to attack an elephant all the time but all u get is a big f*** off, go and fool around at politic sites u will find some neo nazis and religios freaks who will support your ideas if u insist not to see a therapist but stop trying to share your lonely desperate days and miserable ideas with music fans sicko
yes I heard about it. About highest persentage of green eyes. And ı dont talk about history everytime. I only talk about history if it is necessary :) ı dont speak for wasting my time, if ı talked about it because it is necessary. like right here yesterday
i was talking about music though.. Amerie - I Just Died
