I saw this on the Eurovision and wow, what an incredible song, so different to everything else, it should've won.

I thought she deserved to do well at Eurovision. Well performed, interesting song.
You should check out her first two albums.
Pretty Scary Silver Fairy 2006
Chameleon 2004
"Will You Remember Me' and "Lifetime Guarantee" are good songs.
Here is the official video for "Feed You My Love".

I loved the song too and checked her out, and she's got a really good style.
I love the lyrics, except the title line, it just seems strange... I don't get it.
I thought I Feed You My Love deserved to win, and does seem like something BBC Radio one would eat up if it wasn't a Eurovision song. Was quite shocked the song received no points from the UK, mind!
I am now eagerly awaiting her third album and hope her top four placing has giving the initiative to release it across Europe. Glad to see her back!
I wouldn't be particularly confident about it doing well in the charts here, as it didn't score any points at all in Eurovision from the UK and Ireland :mad: Maybe the 'music professional panel'(which included Tony Blackburn :rolleyes: ) were more responsible for that than the voters, though.
The fact it's the second highest on iTunes suggests out jury was to blame. I think it will have been top 3 or 4 in our televote.
Why on earth do we have to 70+ year olds on the jury
Is it really? That's fantastic
Yeah, without sounding ageist, I don't know how people of that age(Tony Blackburn is 80+, I think :eek: ) can judge these things objectively.
Just goes to show why we keep doing so badly if we don't recognise a great song like this.
It at least deserves 10 points from us, if not 12.
BTW Margaret is definitely better as a blond.
I have a feeling it was voted high on the televote but our jury(which included Tony Blackburn) wiped it out by ranking it in the low teens or 20's
The Romanian diaspora voting was effectively cancelled out by the Jury vote, they changed the system so juries rank the countries from 1-26 in the final or 1 - 16/17 in the semifinals and this counteracted many diaspora votes and made all the ex Yugoslav countries miss the final.

It is similar to 'I Feed You My Love', if the album is in a similar style then I'll be getting it.
