Turkey suffered yesterday a major setback music after rock band Yuksek Sadakat, which respresented the Eurasian country in the 56 th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, to stay out of the competition for the first time in its history.
The first semifinal of Eurovision Song Contest to be held on Tuesday evening in Düsseldorf left a number of surprises and left out several historic festival countries such as Norway, Armenia and Turkey, who failed to qualify for Saturday's final.
rock band Yuksek Sadakat aspired to reach the final of this year and repeat the good results achieved in the previous edition by MaNga group, which got a brilliant second place with his song "We Could Be The Same." The Turkish representatives hoped to repeat the success with his song "Live it up" and, why not get to win the final as did the Turkish singer Sertab Erener in 2003 with "Every Way That I Can."
But it seems that "Live it up", a pop-rock song with some echoes of the East, did not convince the jury, which this year is distributed to 50% of votes with the public-and away from the plaudits Turkey has left open-mouthed but mostly not represented in Eurovision for the first time in 35 years.
Yes
ranked 10 out of 19 countries that were presented on Tuesday: Azerbaijan, FINLAND, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Lithuania, Russia, Serbia and Switzerland. These 10 will join a dozen other ma's in the second semifinal on Thursday, and finally the five members of the so called "Big 5" (the five founders of the festival, including Spain), which as you know are automatically classified for Saturday's final without having to go through the semifinals.
