Artist: Baschi
Song: Wenn das Gott wüsst (If God Knew)



Biography

Baschi was born as Sebastian Bürgin in the Annus Sandrakimis near Basel in the Heartlandian republic of Switzerland. Just after his seventeenth birthday he took his chances in MusicStar, the casting show that would eventually deliver the renowned microphone-kick-boxer Piero Esteriore. Being a talented little fellow, Baschi had no choice but to leave the show early on. In 2005 he then received the Prix Walo (swiss-german for Oscar) as Best Newcomer. And with 6 chart-hits and each of his three albums reaching at least Gold status, the time had soon come for this young urban artist to do some celebrate oh celebrate-ing of his own.

In the summer of 2007, Baschi’s fifth single-release “Wenn das Gott wüsst” managed the virtually impossible and most un-Swiss of achievements. By virtue of its controversial lyrics it caused an uproar amidst the Heartlandian mountainfolks. Loathed by the conservatives and cheered by the more liberal and progressive inhabitants of the Alpine region, the song ended up reaching the number 3 spot in the Swiss charts, while the album “Fürs Volk”, which contained the contested song, entered the charts at no 1.

Artist: Jevhenia Vlasova

Song: Veter nadezhdy (Wind Of Hope)

Biography

Eugenia Vlasova was born in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, the most eastern member-state of Heartlandia, into an artistic family. Her mother was an actress, her father a classical singer.
In 1994 little Eugenia or Евгении, as her parents lovingly called her, started studying at the State Higher Music College. As soon as she managed her degree, she decided to put her money where her mouth was and went on to win several prices at different music festivals during the late 1990’s. It wasn’t for long before she got discovered and could call herself the proud owner of a major record deal.
Her 2001-album reached gold-status overnight and sold more than 100,000 copies in the Ukraine. The little disc also conquered the hearts of their Slavic neighbours, Russia. Soon after, her career took yet another turn as Eugenia discovered the wonders of motherhood. Her daughter Nina is now almost 4 years old.

In 2005 Eugenia returned to the stage and teamed up with Andru Donalds of former Michael Cretu and Enigma fame. Their duet-version of her self-penned song “Wind of hope” was an immediate hit and even reached the top spot of the Polish charts in 2006.

Lyrics

Veter nadezhdy, teplyi i nezhnyi
I begu ya po volnam
K solntsu i svetu, sledom za vetrom
Ya lechu na kryl'jakh sna

Ya znayu, gde zhivet mechta
Ya nauchu tebja letat'
Ya vse zhelaniya ispolnyu
No tol'ko ty dolzhen pomnit'


Veter nadezhdy, teplyi i nezhnyi
I begu ya po volnam
K solntsu i svetu, sledom za vetrom
Ya lechu na kryl'jakh sna

Ya ne mogu tebe skazat'
O chem grustyat tvoi glaza
Moya sleza spaset ot boli
No esli ty budesh' pomnit'

Translation

I know the world of dreams exists
I'll take you there, just touch my lips
I'll be the breath of your desire
My feelings, you should rely on

Chorus:
Once in the morning tender and warm
Winds of hope will wake you up
Follow my motion over the ocean
I am flying to my star

I see the sorrow in your eyes
You'll soon be in paradise!
Don't be afraid, you only have to call me
And you only have to hold me

Chorus:
Once in the morning tender and warm
Winds of hope will wake you up
Follow my motion over the oceanI am flying to my star

Artist: Balthazar
Song: This Is A Flirt



Biography

Balthazar, a band from Kortrijk, is one of the youngest revelations in the Belgian pop/rock scene. Despite their young age, barley 20 years old, they continue the great tradition that our small country has when it comes down to these type of brilliant rock groups.

The group got together at the end of 2004 and already at the start of 2005 they won their first award, namely the national “Kunstbende” (which translates kind of as art gang) contest with the song “Lost and Found”. In the same year they could also won the Westtalent competition, the rock competition of the province of West Flandres. Their winning streak didn’t seem to be coming to an and as in 2006 they won the public’s price of Humo’s Rock Rally, a prestigious alternative talent searching competition. After participating in the Poppunt project “Raymand and his young heroes”, their guest performance in the popular feel good tv show “Debby and Nancy” and a nomination for the Zieta Award 2006 by WTV-Focus, the group slowly started to gain respect within the Flemish rock scene.

Even though Balthazar is still quite a young group, they already succeeded in creating their own sound. They are famous for flirting with the boundaries of pop and rock music. “This is a flirt” is the first proof of this, it is their debut single and will be featured on their debut album which is expected in 2008.

Lyrics

Dance, dance, wanna make you my romance I’ve got you here in the fog how 'bout some Hollywood talk yeah baby, bet we do more than all the lovin' next door and even more than before they had them kids on their floor Do you wanna love, cause I’m in love with you Dance, dance, how 'bout some love offence what an awful timing to take another cigarette break baby, you know it takes two to smoke taboo out of you and steamy windows ain't wrong to leave your phone number on

Lyrics

I...like the things that you hate
And you...hate the things that I like
But it hurts
Honesty's your church
But sometimes
It's better to lie
I...am the vinegar and salt
And you...are the oil that dissolves
My frustration
Honesty's limitation
But sometimes
It's better to lie
I am the vinegar and salt
And you are the oil that dissolves my frustrations
Limitations
But sometimes...
I don't dare to ask why

Lyrics


Pia Nomizis Pos Ise (Who Do You Think You Are)

Who do you think you are

how can love bear it
to stand infront of the unfair
how can 'bye' ,simply a word
to hurt so much

I dont talk for the things that seperate us
those that link us as glass
my heart in thousand pieces rip
but wait one moment

Who do you think you are
who gives you the right to deny everything tonight
and you ask me to leave from your sight, wait
you dont care nor ask what I want
Who do you think you are
who gives you the right to leave me?
and you ask me to leave from your life, shame on you
I loved you over the god

how can you make me feel sad
i dont have anything else to tell you
you are doing to me whatever you want
but no more

Lyrics

MOURNING TREE

So far away
But still so close
So many days
I've had to count
The meaning of life
Comes true when I'm with you
For in me there's a flower growing

Tell him through the winds I am here
Whisper through the breeze not to fear
Taste it by the rain what I feel when you hold me
Reach out for the winds that we share
Then you will feel I am near
Taste it by the snow, I am here where you left me

I told to the mourning tree

The long way home
Is never too far
Unless you've reached the end of life
My deepest wish
Comes true when I'm with you
For in me there's a miracle growing

Tell him through the winds I am here
Whisper through the breeze not to fear
Taste it by the rain what I feel when you hold me
Reach out for the winds that we share
Then you will feel I am near
Taste it by the snow, I am here where you left me

I told to the mourning tree

Tell him through the winds I am here
Whisper through the breeze not to fear
Taste it by the rain what I feel when you hold me
Reach out for the winds that we share
Then you will feel I am near
Taste it by the snow, I am here where you left me

I told to the mourning tree

Spindelsinn, her first official solo album came out in 1997. She was nominated as best vocal artist in the Norwegian Grammy Awards as best female artist at the Norwegian Hit-Awards. The following year the second release Mesmerised came out. A mellower album, with more personal lyrics in which she left the folk-acoustic style in favour of exploring more modern sounds.
She became tired of relying on producers to get the sounds she wanted for her songs so she decided to study production and went to London, England for a couple of years. After joining the Swedish label GMR Music Group Kari released a come back album, the experimental Pilot which contains a lot of modern sounds reminiscent of Björk.
In January 2005, her most recent album Other People's Stories was issued.


Lyrics

OTHER PEOPLE'S STORIES

Come take my hand and
we'll walk into the woods
This is my kingdom
Now this is your home

If you believe, sometimes pretend
If you fight back, in the end you shall see what it's worth

Other people's stories
They are just like mine
But for one thing
I did what they planned
In my darkest hour
I just killed a man
With a silver bullet
in the barrel of my gun

I should know better
By the age of 28
But i took the chance and
I never once looked back

If you believe, sometimes pretend
If you fight back, in the end you shall see what it's worth

Other people's stories
They are just like mine
But for one thing
I did what they planned
In my darkest hour
I just killed a man
With a silver bullet
in the barrel of my gun

And the sun climbs up over Victoria Hill
I will stop and take one last breath
Then they'll come for me

Other people's stories
They are just like mine
But for one thing
I did what they planned
In my darkest hour
I just killed a man
With a silver bullet
in the barrel of my gun


I did it for you
I did it for you
I did it for you
I did it for you
I did it for you

Song # 10 LATINO LOVERS

Song # 10

Artist: Pastora
Song: Cuanta vida


Biography

Pastora are a Spanish electronic group from Barcelona, consisting of Dolo Beltrán (vocals), Caïm Riba Pastor (guitar, synthesisers and programming) and Pauet Riba Pastor (programming and visuals.) The name of the group is devoted to the mother of Caïm and Pauet, whose surname was Pastor, and her first boyfriend used to call her ""Pastora"".

After studying visual and digital arts and multimedia, the brothers Pauet and Caïm Riba Pastor formed the group as an audio-visual project in 1996. As a duo, they released the experimental electronic albums 'Trip show audio visual tecno simfonic' (1998) and 'Cosmossoma' (2000) with the latter featuring their father Pau Riba a famous rock artist from the 1970s. However, neither album achieved commercial success.

In 2000 to strengthen the project, they added former professional actress Dolo Beltran as vocalist and songwriter and abandoned the experimental efforts in search of a more accessible sound.

The group achieved their breakthrough in 2003 with the track 'Lola' reaching the Spanish top ten. The eponymous parent album 'Pastora' achieved commercial success the following year, blending electronica, trip hop, Spanish guitars with techno beats. The album also contained the hits 'Mirona' , 'Lunes' and 'Mentira'. Both the album and its follow-up earned the trio a gold record.

After a two year gap the group returned in 2006 with the album 'La Vida Moderna.' A concept album backed by Pauet's striking and often psychedelic videos. The album earned the trio a 2006 Latin Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album. The first single to be taken from the album was 'Desolado' which reached #1 on the Spanish radio playlists.

"Cuánta vida" is the first single of the eponymous album "Cuánta vida" released in 2007.


Lyrics

Cuanta vida va, cuanta vida viene
Cuanta vida va, va, va y viene
Cuanta vida hay en un deja vu,
lo vivido te vuelve y no pareces tú

Y me pueden las ganas
De esta noche no escapas

Cuantas veces, cuantas vueltas
tienes tú que dar, tú que dar
(una, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho)
(una, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, ¿cuántas quieres?)
Cuantas veces, cuantas vueltas
tienes tú que dar, tú que dar

Cuanta vida hay en un alfiler
cuando el hilo se mete y quiere coser
Dos partes distintas de tacto y enigmas

Cuanta vida hay en un revolcon
Cuantas vueltas y vueltas
tienes tú que dar, tú que dar

Cuantas veces, cuantas vueltas
tienes tú que dar, tú que dar
(una, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete, ocho)
(una, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, ¿cuántas quieres?)
Cuantas veces, cuantas vueltas
tienes tú que dar, tú que dar

Translation

How much life goes back and forth
how much life goes back, back, back and forth
how much life is there in a deja vu
what you've lived comes back again and you're not yourself

I can't help it
you won't escape tonight

How many times, how many times
you have to turn around, you have to turn around
(one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight)
(one, two, three, four, five, six, how many do you want?)
How many times, how many times
you have to turn around, you have to turn around

How much life is there in a pin
when the thread wants to saw
Two different parts made of touch and riddles

How much life is there in a shag
how many times
you have to turn around, turn around.

How many times, how many times
you have to turn around, you have to turn around
(one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight)
(one, two, three, four, five, six, how many do you want?)
How many times, how many times
you have to turn around, you have to turn around

Song # 11 THE OTHERS

Song #11

Performer: Karen Zoid (South Africa)
Title: Aeroplane Jane

Biography

Karen Zoid is a Pop-Rock singer, guitarist and songwriter who comes from Johannesburg, South Africa. Born in 1978, she began her career as a street performer attracting lice, flies, food leftovers and apparently some awareness in the South African musical scene, eventually becoming an award-winning national figure. So far, she has released 3 albums, with songs in English as well as her native Afrikaans. All 3 albums achieved a Gold Record status (25,000 sales). Her songs are notable for their unique lyrics, which, at least according to some sources, are "regarded as poetry and taught in universities". Her culturally-mixed band helped established her cross-culture popularity, and she even performed in the inauguration of president Mbeki. She has enjoyed little success outside South Africa as yet, but The Others are intent on changing that.
In an interview with her sponsor Karen said that "life on the streets taught me to take care of myself and see the beauty in things that other people might overlook like orange peels and the last few drops in a Coke can. But seriously, I shit you not, I really want your board folk to vote for my song, and make me and Sith Efrika proud"

Lyrics:


We said goodbye I boarded at Gate nine
You phoned again while I stood there in the line
She gave me a hand and showed me to my seat
Alas woe was me no place for my feet

Quietly I go insane on this lonely aeroplane
Everybody looks the same on a lonely aeroplane
And the strange man next to me don't say 'scuze me when he sneeze
Someone come and save me please I think that he just cut the cheese
You're a million miles away and I miss you so today
Quietly I go insane coz I am lonely Aeroplane Jane

Aeroplane Jane
Aeroplane Jane's gone insane

As I loose sense of reality
You are still my only memory
As I loose a
As I loose a sensa of a of reality
As I loose a
As I loose a sensa of a

Coz I'm about to go insane on this lonely aeroplane
Everybody looks the same on a lonely aeroplane
And the in-flight magazines advertise washing machines
All your clothing stays pristine when you wash with a machine
You're a million miles away and I miss you so today
Quietly I go insane coz I am lonely Aeroplane Jane

Aeroplane Jane
Aeroplane Jane's gone insane

Serve the coffee and they serve the tea
Strange man don't say thank you don't say please

K-ke-ke-ke-keep goin'
Buh-bup-beep-beep-beep Boeing

You're a million miles away and I miss you so today
Quietly I go insane on this lonely aeroplane

Her single "sous une pluie d'étoîles" which was also the first track on her most recent album reached No. 1 in the Québécois charts . She's now poised to embark on a career in France and perhaps reach the status of Natasha St Pier.

Cindy enjoys long walks in the park, patting stray dogs, and feeding filthy pigeons who have no other use other than defecating on people's shoulders and car windows...sorry, we digress. Cindy would like to stress that she does not see Celine as her role model as she isn't into old fat men, mushroom dresses, or Vegas. That said, Cindy wouldn't mind having Cee Dee's bank account.
The Others thank you for your interest in her :-)

Lyrics:

Quand la mer s'évanouit
Lŕ ou le ciel s'achčve
Je cherche sur tes lčvres
Le chemin de mes nuits
Quand il ne reste plus
Que quelques ręves perdus
Tous les mots qu'on se dit
C'est penser qu'ils nous lient
Sont comme des larmes au yeux
Les instants si précieux
Qu'on voudrait les garder
Au fond de nous cachés

Puisque c'est toi que j'aime
Toi qui manque ŕ ma vie
Si un jour toi aussi
Tu sentais que tu m'aimes
Puisque c'est toi que j'aime
Toi qui manque ŕ ma vie
On pourrait tout les deux
Essayer d'ętre heureux

J'ai lu dans ton regard
Un peu de notre histoire
Mais la fin tu le sais
Personne ne la connait
Tout au fond de nos coeurs
Dans l'étoile se meurt
Si on n'y prenait garde
On pourrait par mégarde
Sous la plage des aveux
Effacer sur le sable
Les ręves qu'on fait ŕ deux
Sous une pluie d'étoiles

Puisque c'est toi que j'aime
Toi qui manque ŕ ma vie
Si un jour toi aussi
Tu sentais que tu m'aimes
Puisque c'est toi que j'aime
Toi qui manque ŕ ma vie
On pourrait tout les deux
Essayer d'ętre heureux
HoooHooo essayer d'ętre heureux

Les ręves qu'on fait ŕ deux
Sous une pluie d'étoiles

Puisque c'est toi que j'aime
Toi qui manque ŕ ma vie
Si un jour toi aussi
Tu sentais que tu m'aimes
Puisque c'est toi que j'aime
Toi qui manque ŕ ma vie
On pourrait tout les deux
Essayer d'ętre heureux

Puisque c'est toi que j'aime
Toi qui manque ŕ ma vie
Si un jour toi aussi
Tu sentais que tu m'aimes
Puisque c'est toi que j'aime
Toi qui manque ŕ ma vie
On pourrait tout les deux
Essayer d'ętre heureux





Kevin wishes to emphasize that this song is almost impossible to translate as there are so many sub levels of poetic imagery in it that just don't make much sense in English.
Also, the Canadian government deems the song as bearing subliminal quasi innuendos of Québécois independence aspirations, and they think that's not cool.

So here is the little we can release:

We were lovers, I still love you
We can still love each other
It's up to you
Let's make our dreams and love alive
Under a sky full of stars

NFs underway

Today is the deadline for joining a team and more or less everybody has already done so. In view of it, all teams have already begun their local finals in order to choose the two best songs submitted by their members, which will represent them at this year's EPP contest!

The team that has last started the process is Latino Lovers, whose NF just kicked off yesterday, whereas other teams like Southern Belles or Heartlands are a bit more *advanced* in their respective finals. However, regardless of their *speed*, there's no doubt all teams will have selected their two songs before the deadline, which is November 2, since all six team leaders are doing a magnificent job adjusting their respective exchange of songs and voting to the schedule in the rules :)

Further details about the selections will not be revealed here, but we'll try to summarise every NF when the whole contest is over, i.e. after November 17, so stay tuned after the final voting! :)

Southern Belles have a new team leader!!! Its Umut!

THE RULES

The Rules

Rules for European Pop Panel - Autumn 2007 Core Elements

Everyone is welcome to join in one of the six teams that will take part in each edition of the European Pop Panel. By joining a team, you have a say in the choice of song or songs that represent your team and your votes will be counted as part of the points awarded by your team. Non participating fans of the contest can also vote without joining a team. Their votes will count towards one additional set of points.


The Autumn Edition of European Pop Panel will take place on 17 November 2007
Each geographical zone (or team) will enter two songs.
Songs must be chosen and entered by 2 November 2007
The songs that will take part will be revealed on 4 November.
Votes must be delivered to EPP by 14 November at 23:59 CET
Music fans from any country can take part in the contest. Each participant must pick a team. Each team will elect a coordinator/spokeman who will ensure that team members get to decide on the entry or entries from their team and vote in the show itself. Teams should be assembled ideally by 15 October, but people can join teams at any time until votes are delivered. If you join after 15 October, you might not have much of a say in the songs on offer though.
Joining a team will only be possible through eppproducers@yahoo.com until 15 October, after that applications must be made directly to a team leader.

Twelve songs will compete. Each team will enter two songs, chosen within their groups. The method of choosing a song is down to the team. The only condition is that the details of the final two selected songs must remain secret amongst team members until all songs are chosen and details revealed on the Eurovision Pop Panel site. If any team fails to notify the organisers of their two entries, their place in the contest will be lost. If any team reveals details of one or both of their entries before the publication date, their entry/entries may be disqualified or the team asked to agree on a substitute before the closing date. If no substitute is provided, the place in the contest is lost.

This means they must have residence in or be a citizen/dual citizen of one country included in a team description. The 'Others' team may only choose a performer from a country not covered in the existing team lists. (This means, for example, the 'Others' team may not choose a singer from Slovenia, Greece, United Kingdom, Sweden etc). Teams are free to decide in which language their artists will sing. Changes to the lyrics, name of the artist or group, title of the song and/or language of the song are permitted up to 2 November 2007. Any changes beyond this date must be approved by the organisers.

Duties of the Participating Teams

Each team must stick to the deadlines above.
Each team must elect a leader.
Each team must select two entries from any music genre,
Each team must listen to and vote on the other songs in the contest.
Each team will do its utmost to prevent fraudulent voting in the contest.

Duties of the Team Leaders

The leader will be responsible for co-ordinating how the team songs are chosen and sending details of the entries to the organisers.
EPP Producers advise teamleaders to open an email account .
The leader must act as the point of contact if there is any problem with an entry.
The leader must also be prepared to coordinate voting and present the final results to the organisers by the deadline above.
If a podcast is made, the leader must be prepared to introduce his or her team's song and read out the votes, or elect someone else to do this.

Details/bio of the performer(s) - name and nationality, short bio of the performer and a photo of the performer(s)
Optional link to the video (preferably on youtube.com)
Lyrics of the song with rough translation if possible.

Voting Procedure

Each team will award its votes Eurovision style. 12 for its favourite song, 10 for it's next favourite, then 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1. two songs will not score any points from each team (these will be their own songs).
It is the responsibility of the team leader to gather votes from his or her team and collate them into one award.
When each team has voted, EPP will announce one combined vote from 'non participants'. This means fans who are not in a team but who still want to join in by voting.

Some (hopefully) helpful guidelines:

It is suggested that each team member awards votes from one to ten to each song, excluding the song presented by his or her own team. The teamleader is responsible for counting the votes awarded to each song, and for determining the points that will be awarded. The leader shall allocate 12 points to the song having obtained the highest number of votes, 10 points to the song having obtained the second highest number of votes, 8 points to the song having obtained the third highest number of votes, 7 points to the next, and so on down to 1 point for the song having obtained the tenth highest number of votes. In the event of a tie for any of the above positions, the order of the tying songs shall be ascertained by an electronic show of hands by the team members. If there is still a tie after the show of hands, the final order shall be decided by the vote of the team leader.
Team leaders are encouraged to circulate details of all votes awarded by team members and the final team vote before it is announced in the contest itself. As soon as the agreed votes are delivered to EPP, they cannot be changed.

Disqualification Procedure

A song may be disqualified for the following reasons:
Details of the song are made public before the contest 'reveal' deadline.
The performer(s) do not have nationality in one of the countries within a team. If the performers are a group, at least one of its regular members must hold a passport for one of the countries within a team area.
If the disqualification of a song is decided upon before midnight CET on 2 November 2007, a team shall be entitled to propose another song and to submit all related material by the date specified.
If disqualification of a song is decided upon after midnight CET on 2 November 2007, the place in the show is lost.
Any decision taken in accordance with the above-mentioned procedure shall be final.
The Participating Broadcaster shall have the right to appeal against sanctions to the EBU Administrative Council. Any sanction taken in accordance with the above-mentioned procedure shall be final, and no legal remedy shall be possible.

The Winners of the Autumn 2007 show

Should there be a tie for first place, the winner shall be the song which has obtained points from the highest number of teams. If the tying songs received votes from the same number of teams, then the highest number of 12-point scores shall be decisive. If the winner cannot be determined by this procedure, then the number of times ten points have been awarded shall be the deciding factor; if necessary, this method shall continue until account has been taken of the number of times one point has been awarded. Should two or more songs still tie for first place, even after the above calculations, both/all such songs shall be declared joint winners.

How to Take Part

Step One - Pick your team

You need, in the words of Celine Dion to ask yourself, 'Where Does My Heart Beat Now?". Check the details of the teams and choose the one you want to join. Ideally choose the country where you live or where you were born, but you might want to be a maverick and play away.

When we receive your mail, we will send it to the team leader for the team you have chosen. They will contact you to let you know what to do next.

Step Two: Decide on the songs

Within your team, you can decide on two entries for the Autumn contest. If you need help to decide which songs are eligible, read the contest rules.

Step Three: Listen to the songs in the contest

In November, the songs will be online and you'll receive links to listen to the entries and read all about each entry.

Step Four: Vote, vote, vote

Your team leader will collect your votes and collate them into one overall vote.

Results of Round one, held on November 11th 2006.
