Viisukuppila

Tiedän, että moni täällä tekee parastaan. Itsekin koostan noin kymmentä kappaletta (jotka ovat joko suomen- tai ruotsinkielisiä). Vaan katsotaan, mihin aikeet johtavat. :) Idea siitä, että euroviisufanaatikot olisivat viisulavalla esittämässä kappalettansa, olisi ihanteellinen - tosin ideana jo mon...

Thanks to all the fantastic lyricists who submitted for this opportunity. I just got off the phone with the A/R guy from Universal. Unfortunately none of the songs were chosen for the album, but they will still be considered for other projects. The artist we were trying for was ANNA ERIKSSON. After ...

I am amazed. Truly and utterly AMAZED at the talent here! I got new lyrics for all of the songs posted and am very very optimistic about how well the lyrics work. I also have music only tracks for most of the songs, so if the lyric writers would like to have those tracks to record their own versions...

sampo, could you put "surrounded" lyrics as well, couldn't find it... I wont put the SURROUNDED lyrics up because they are religious and thats not the direction the Finnish lyrics should be. So you have free hands to just follow the melody and mood of the music to do something fun and int...

Big thanks to all who did the translations for WHY. Someone had asked me what I thought, and I really couldnt pick my own favourite. Every entry had some truly golden phrases and strengths. Also, since I am not a native Finnish speaker, what I think sounds cool may sound unnatural to a native ear. I...

I know...crazy deadlines. Its not mandatory (The A/R guy would like them by the beginning of next week), but this is for a well-known Finnish artist (female) who is looking for 2 to 3 songs to finish up her album. There's no promises that these songs will be used, but its a great opportunity to try ...

ALREADY BROKEN (stewart/day/gately) 1. Every shade of blue I've been You painted me. Made it black and white that we're not meant to be. Once my greatest weakness Now, you've made me strong. Said you're moving back but sorry, I've been moving on. * And you cant break what you've already broken Wont ...

ONLY MY SOUL (steven stewart/ markus wagner) 1. My silence grows as the leaves outside are turning The seasons change. My heart remains out in the cold 2.But you love winter. You skate out on my river. Ignoring all my warnings that the ice won’t hold. + I come to you and fall, it feels like drowning...

ARMS NOT WINGS (stewart/wagner) 1. I've lost myself so I could find love Turned black and white to gray I balanced on the highwire and I've fallen I cant go back to living life that way. 2. So easy to get jaded Carving out your space in this big world I have been so frustrated this grain of sand sti...

I have been super impressed with the quality of ALL of the translations for WHY. Thank you all for the great work. If any of the lyricists are interested, I have a few songs that need translating for possible inclusion of a Finnish album for a female vocalist. Note: 1) Remember that I am asking mult...

I'm trying to convince the Vanilla Ninja manager to get them to Finland for Ankka Rock or another summer festival. The girls ALL understand Finnish and are wonderful. I love them dearly and they hung out with the Finns a lot. I still dont understand why their albums havent seemed to "hit" ...

RE: My comments on Moldova My wife loved Moldova and the energy was fantastic. People can vote for whatever they want. My point was that I personally dont like when a "song" is voted through because of a gimmick rather than a strong song or performance. My giving of Moldova as the circus a...

Well...a few days later. No tears. Of course we are so disappointed Finland didnt go through (when other...er...circus acts did go through), but when there were so many other incredible songs that got dropped out, we dont feel so alone. I dont think that any changes we could have made would have cha...

Hienoa saada raporttia paikan päältä! Terveiset Kiovaan, Steven!!! Aiku nää innostuu täällä kotimaassa... :aurinko: Sitten kysymyksiä... :supati: Olisi kiva tietää miltä Geirin esitys näyttää kamerassa, onko paljon lähikuvaa vai ryhmäkuvaa? Miten tämän paljon puhutun liikkumisen kanssa? Näyttääkö G...

please vote!

Is there a master list of all viisukuppila members who will be in Kiev? I'd love to get a list with names and mobile phone numbers if possible. Would be nice to be able to contact everyone if something is going on.

thanks
Steven Stewart

Lennartsson (whatstone productions) is still finishing up his mix... but I couldnt wait to get the final. I wanted to share these with the eurovision fans before the contest ends. :) I love the crazy wild dance version he showed me, but he hasnt been able to make the verses match the chorus energy y...

Here are the Unofficial Fan Remixes for the Finnish ESC05 entry WHY (toivanen/stewart) performed by Geir Rönning. These mixes were done as a labour of love by Eurovision fans for Eurovision fans. They are in no way meant to replace the original, but just be fun extras for Eurovision fans to enjoy a...

Just got a re-remixed version of WHY from Willie McCulloch that took out the "flute/percussion" elements from the chorus of his original remix, so the whole song is just the nice acoustic guitar. I'm waiting for it to get approved on my upload site and then I'll post it. There is still pro...

New remix from Markus Wagner added to first page of this thread.

New WHY remix from David Choi available at the top of this thread for a limited time!

Sorry... had to remove the remix links for Group 1.

More remixes should be coming by this weekend.

UPDATE: Here are previews of two new WHY remixes from Bari Taylor (He's done mixes for Toni Braxton, Blu Cantrell, and others. Wonderful cutting edge talent. These remixes are NOT finished yet...he's still polishing them and will change the endings a bit...but here is a preview. WHY (Bari Taylor Nig...

Thanks for your feedback. Our team has decided to go ahead and commission the remixes, take a listen, and then decide if any meet our approval to maybe be on a maxi single or web release. The remixers have been given open hands...meaning they can do whatever they style they want. We'll see what they...

I love the music, performance, vocals, and song. Well written, well-produced and arranged and fun choreography. I dig me some James Bond drama music and go-go dancers.

But I'm curious why a European competition like EUROVISION would be interested in a song about life in an American city?
