Turkey at Eurovision 2022? Our Top 3 favourite entries so far 

I don’t even have to think for a second: number 1 Turkish entry was Mor ve Ötesi with Deli 2008. can’t believe you didn’t mention it. It was the better rock song than manga AND they actually sang in Turkish and not English. I don’t understand a word, but listening to their songs since then. Mor ve Ötesi are like the turkish version of MUSE.

I hope we will see Turkey at esc 2022 We miss you so much guys🥺❤

I won’t believe Turkey comes back until I see the participant list later this year.

Imagine Wiwibloggs reacts to new Turkish entry ! That could be fiercee!

1) maNga - We Could Be The Same (2010) 2) Athena - For Real (2004) 3) Mor ve ötesi - Deli (2008) 🇹🇷

"We Could Be The Same" is my number one. Turkey won in 2010. PERIOD! 😁

For me it's: 1) maNga 2) Hadise 3) Can Bonomo Please come back Turkey we need your amazing music ❤🤞

I don't know if you remember the Turkish Airlines Commercial 'We are Turkish airlines, we are globally yours'- that was Sertab Erener. Huge star in Turkey since the 1980's and still pumping out hit albums! Turkey always had bad results in Eurovision and it wasn't so popular - Sertab changed all that and it's largely thanks to her success that Turkey became so much stronger later when TRT took it more seriously. I was lucky enough to see her live in concert in Australia and shake her hand for about 10 seconds during 'Everyway That I Can', the first year I ever watched Eurovision and became a diehard fan- all thanks to Sertab!

My top 3: 3. Can Bonomo - Love me back I'm literally just in love with that human boat, I still think about it all the time 2. Hadise - Düm Tek Tek Still a regular earworm, such a bop, ICON 1. maNga - We could be the same Actually one of my favourite entries in eurovision history, I love them. Still listen to it regularly❤️

Dum Tek Tek, For Real, and Manga's songs were written and composed by the artists themselves and some Turkish music professionals. What i appreciate from Turkey's participation is that at least they really showcased the talent of the Turkish people, unlike some countries who are participating today who are buying songs and producers from Sweden or elsewhere to write a smash song.

You can’t be a true Eurovision Fan and not put Sebnem Parker - Dinle among your top three (or at least honorable mention)

My top 3 is; 3.Manga "we could be the same" 2.Şebnem Paker "Dinle" 1.Hadise "Dum Tek Tek" Also I love our debut song called Seninle Bir Dakika! Also in 1975, Turkey made a national final and our first national final got 2 winners! Cici Kizlar and Semiha Yanki. Then host did draw and Semiha won the draw so she represented us in 1975. Cici kizlar were group and their song was "Delisin Delisin" and actually I'm shocked that how Delisin wouldn't won. That song was incredibly famous in the past. If you search on google it has so many views. Still I'm liking both songs and Semiha didnt deserved to came last!

I'm very surprised that the EBU is in talks with TRT for Turkey to return to Eurovision because I always thought that Turkey would never return to the contest as long as Erdogan is in charge. I'm puzzled as to what made them change their mind all of a sudden. If Turkey does return, I imagine they'll definitely get a good result like Italy in 2011 because surely the EBU will want to keep them around.

Actually, we were going to participate in 2013. Also Trt had chosen a singer who is Aynur Aydin and she said that in her interview: I recorded my song but Trt gave up participating in the competition. The most important thing is she didn’t still released that song and keeps it for Eurovision . I hope we will back for 2022 🙏🏻🙏🏻

1. Sibel tuzun - Superstar 2. Hadise - Dum Tek tek 3. Sebnem Paker - Dinle 4. Sertab Erener - Everyway that I can 5. Mor ve otesi - Deli 6. Manga - We could be the same Turkey please come back, my favourite country along with Ukraine!

Finally someone acknowledged that 2009 was the strongest year in songs! I've had the same opinion since then as well 😊

Dinle in 1997 is the greatest Turkish entry ever. IMO of course... actually no it just is 🤭

17:49 Divamız bizim bile aklımıza gelmemişti Deban bizi utandırdı ahahhshs

I wanna say I really enjoy watching you guys just have a natural conversation about random things as well, when those parts don't get edited out of the video just because it's not 'on topic'. There's a really great dynamic between all wiwibloggers that makes me wanna join your conversations and chill with you and that I find very relaxing AND entertaining!

Probably the most predictable answer ever but my top 3 Turkish entries are 1)We could be the same (2010) (Manga walked so Måneskin could run) 2)Dum tek tek (2009) (It'd have done even better if her vocals on the night had been stronger) 3)Everyway that I can (2003) (It's amazing that Sertab managed to win despite performing 4th on the gf and it only highlights how good the song was. With a better running order it'd have been a landslide victory)

I missed you both so much. Thank you for this.

The fact that Turkey always does well in my country is that we have many Turkish people living here

l hope turkey will come back

I can't believe you guys even know who Bülent Ersoy is omg. I never thought about her participating, we're always thinking of western-style artists for esc so that'd be out of the box with the genre of music for sure (I dont think she'd accept the offer too tbh)

it is so fun to see you guys together again!!

I’m enjoying the appreciation for Taken By A Stranger 😍

I’ve missed Turkey so much at Eurovision. They have such a fantastic music scene there and I’ve looked forward to their entries every year because they always just BRING IT to Eurovision. I really hope they’ll come back.

You know Turkey has had great acts when you can’t even pick your top 3. Turkey doesn’t disappoint👍

Don‘t forget about Dinle by Sebnem Paker y‘all 🇹🇷

Turkey coming back would be amazing. Their lasts entries were always among my favorites. My top 3: 1: maNga - We Could Be The Same - 2010 2: Can Bonomo - Love Me Back - 2012 3: Hadise - Düm Tek Tek - 2009

Dinle by Sebnem Paker is by far my favourite turkish entry. Maybe my all time favourite entry in ESC! It just has everything. After that comes Sertab Erener who i discovered through ESC and i still Listen to her other Songs, especially the old ones. Also she is a supporter for LGBTQ+ rights, she is just amazing!! Also it surprises me how the others here also love Sebnem :) i thought that not many know her

Maybe Turkey wants to return because it is their chance to show another rockband to the world?

My top 3 is; 1- Şebnem Paker - Dinle 2- Hadise - Düm Tek Tek 3- Manga - We Could Be The Same 🇹🇷❤️🇹🇷❤️🇹🇷✨

#1 1986 Klips ve Onlar - Halley #2 1980 Ajda Pekkan - Pet'r oil #3 1997 Sebnem Paker & Group Etnik - Dinle

Speaking of Turkish rock music, Turkey 2008 anyone? Love that song ♥️

If Turkey comes back: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Macedonia, Greece, Romania, Albania, and plus winner will have points definitely.

So nice to see you both in the same room again.. Its been too long :)

Honorable mention is "Halley" from 1986. My favourite Turkish entry is, by far, "Dinle" from 1997.

Great to see you guys back🥰 dum dum tek just makes you want to dance. The choreo was amazing especially love the part the dancers clap while Hadise dances. The energy from the crowd is electric!

Sebnem Paker - DİNLE Mor ve Ötesi- DELİ are fascinating too for me.

Eurovision? Yine Yeni Yeniden... (i hope so)

My Top 3 Turkish Entries 3. We could be the same 2. Everyway I Can 1. Düm Tek Tek PS: I am half-Turkish. Love from Germany

I loooooove Turkey! Please, please, please return again with your awesome artists and culture. 🙏 Stay healthy, everyone! 🖖❤️

12:05 I felt that. I would have had the same reaction. Really on point! I loved how you argued about Sertab :)))

I swear manga was the best entry in Eurovision history, it's been years and I still listen to that song from time to time

Deban has really weird music taste. He likes the Estonia this year but doesn't like Italy. He likes Turkey 2004 but doesn't like Turkey 2003. AND HE DOESN'T LIKE SATELLITE????

"EVERYWAY THAT I CAN" 😍

I have 2 things to say: 1. How I love Deban and William🥰🥰🥰 2. 3 songs for me are: I) For Real - Athena II) Hadise - Dum Tek Tek III) maNga - We Could Be The Same

12:03 I can't with William's faces 🤣🤣🤣

Good choices, but you never consider entries from the 20th century when you do these rankings, which is a real shame. Especially when discussing Turkey, who had some epic entries in the 1900s. Their beautiful, underrated debut in 1975, the unforgettable Turkish delight from 1980, the awesome synth-pop in 1986, the hysterical entries from 1987 and 1989 and Şebnem's beautiful songs from 1996 & 1997 - to name a few! Eurovision has such a long and rich history, I wish you open up to it and expose your followers to the abundance and beauty it has to offer.

and now Hadise is one of the biggest artist in turkey of all time, she has longevity, consistency and an iconic discography

Where is eurovision crimes 2021?

Sorry but i agree with Deban, Serteb was like shouting throughout the whole song, it's not pleasant to hear at all.

1. My number one has to be 2003's Sertab Erener. That funky bass line, syncopated rhythms, Arab-influenced instrumentation mixed with Balkan beats: they were all in Eurovision before Sertab, but mainly in the Eastern European countries, especially, and, of course, the Balkans and Greece. But in one year, in one performance that had more energy it could handle (and resulted in an out-of-breath performance with singing on the sharp side), Erener conquered the stage and the contest and the stage. The net result? *Everyone* wanted that sound. Even the UK went for it with Javine's "Touch My Fire". It wasn't a chanson, or four-on-the-floor, or Scandi-pop...*yet*. It introduced a whole new sound to Eurovision and its influence is felt in a whole host of tracks. And most of that can be traced back to Sertab's win. She changed the contest in an indelible way. 2. My number two is 2010's MaNga, where Turkey has shown that, alongside Finland, they're one of the few countries willing to send heavy rock entries. These aren't just normal pop-rock entries other nations send year after year, but hard-edged, sparks-flying, guitar-shredding, vocal-growling rock. With Finland's Lordi it won with costumes. With MaNga, costumes weren't necessary; the song did all the talking. It was three minutes of rough energy wrapped in a catchy pop song. The chorus still rattles inside my head. That year, I still liked "Satellite" better, and William's analysis of why Lena won with this (and why she didn't the next year) showed a very shrewd analytical mind who knows all facets of his environment and what's going on beneath the surface, and the effect they have on current events, even down to the Eurovision Song Contest. My number three are two that come from one artist: Şebnem Paker. First, alone in 1996, with "Beşinci mevsim", and then together with Grup Etnic in 1997 with "Dinle", which garnered them a 3rd place finish, just like it does in my own rankings here. Honourable mentions go to Hadise's 2009 entry "Düm Tek Tek", because while it is one of the best of their later entries it kind of sounds like a pale copy of 2003. It does have an infectious beat that makes you want to move and a chorus that sticks in your head sometimes, so it shows if you're going to imitate something, imitate the best! But I also like a few of Turkey's earlier entries, like 1980's Adja Pekkan with "Pet'r Oil". She has very pretty voice and the song has a good momentum behind it. Beş Yıl Önce, On Yıl Sonra in 1984 sound kind of like more easy-listening ABBA with "Halay". Klips ve Onlar in 1985 have a great energetic trumpet melody moving through their chorus of "Halley" that sticks in your head, and İzel Çeliköz, Reyhan Karaca & Can Uğurluer bring "Iki dakika" (two minutes) of a super-catchy early-90's bop in 1991. There are few, however, who changed the way the song contest sounded more than Sertab, though, and it was an immediate refreshing of the ears after the disastrous "I Wanna" from Latvia's Marie N the year before. BTW, I also missed Deban! It's so great to see you again! I loved watching those UMK videos! On to Italy 2022, hopefully with Turkey included! :)

Turkey is an ICONIC contestant of Eurovision. It will make a strong comeback!

Turkey is my top-3 Eurovision country.. Mor Ve Otesi still in my playlist

My top 3 3. Manga 2. Hadise 1. Şebnem Paker - Dinle

Our favourite Turkish entries are: 1- Şebnem Paker "Dinle" 2- Sertab Erener "Everyway That I Can" 3- maNga "We Could Be The Same" Additionally, these are the results of our big audience poll (Turkish viewers) from this year: 1- maNga "We Could Be The Same" (2089 votes) 2- Sertab Erener "Everyway That I Can" (1815 votes) 3- Şebnem Paker "Dinle" (1430 votes)

My top 3 favorite Tukrish entries (going to identify them by year): 1997, 2003 and 2008

Thanks

Hadise was a sick in this performance. I am pretty sure if she wasn’t sick she could be second place

My favourites are: 1. Petr'oil - Ajda Pekkan (1980) 2. Superstar - Sibel Tüzün (2006) 3. Bana bana - Pan (1989) 4. Yorgunum anla - Pinar Ayhan & SOS (2000) 5. Dinle - Sebnem Paker (1997)

My lovely William and Deban :) Hadise was very sick the night before the Grand Final so they needed to put the male singer forward, most probably. "Being sexy but not slutty" was a very good and valid comment but unfortunately this stage and belly show did not satisfy the Turkish broadcasting and just a month ago the broadcast showed it like an inappropriate reason why Turkey is not attending the contest anymore... Of course "Everyway that i can" is the best Turkish entry ever and we should not forget 97' entry "Dinle". I just want to say "Deban, please listen to Sertab's live performances on RU-vid, especially the song "Lal" :) you will change your opinion! Last but not least, I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT U MENTIONED BULENT ERSOY :)
