Eurovision winning song, did anyone else think it was a rip off of Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls?

but with a double helping of cheese

Eurovision winning song, did anyone else think it was a rip off of Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls?
Nooo! lol! I thought it was terrible!!! where did they get those clothes from? they looked skanky! and the ice-skatter! OMG! Was he a man or a woman? lol! I never imagined they could win! They were just awful! But as it is Eurovision...Politics rules!
Reply:Thanks for choosing me as best answer!!!! ;) Report It
Reply:cantilena91, you're a star. I immediately knew the song was a rip-off of another song, but I couldn't place it. In the end I googled "eurovision rip off" and found this thread - many thanks for putting me out of my misery!



I completely agree it's the hook in the verse from Wild World with just the occasional harmony to vary the vocal. We were shocked when it won - it didn't even make the top 10 in our house.
Reply:Bosnia and Herz..........

was the best song ever

what a performance i can't believe they didn't win

the Russian song was horrible

i hated it, it was AWFUL

seriously i just went to the toilet while it was on

but Bosnia and Herz...... were the best and they should on won
Reply:No, I don't think so. Russia wasn't half-bad.



I think they shouldn't have won, but they weren't bad at all.



I, personally, voted for Latvia and Serbia. At least the Irish know that real music is. :P



(They gave Latvia 12 points)
Reply:I will check with the Goo Goo Doll comparison. But to me, the song does contain some elements of "You Are Everything" by The Stylistics. Especially in the bridge and chorus.
Reply:Well, for me the beginning of the piece was more like a rip-off from "Wild World" by Cat Stevens (currently Yusuf Islam)! Latvian pirates were much better (and Ter?sbetoni, our own entry too)!
Reply:theres no point going in to the competition other country's don't like England so no matter how good our song is we will never win timberland help write the winning song it was OK not the best
