#Eurovision2006

You know why I wasn’t surprised with Iceland’s choice this year? Because I still remember this iconic entry from 2006. 

In general, Eurovision 2006 was amazingly weird & because of that it was (probably) my favourite year. Lordi won the contest (not your typical Eurovision song, eh?) & then we sent Lt United with We Are The Winners: it’s our best entry ever & I’m not sure if we’ll be able to repeat it. Not only because we ended up in 6th place, but also because it was so well crafted and ironic. 

I guess that’s why Silvia was misunderstood and many people thought that she was being serious. Now, I normally avoid using this phrase, but I think she was ahead of her time. It got stuck in my head & even back then I thought that she was hilarious.

So let’s remember this forgoten gem.

EV Past: 🇷🇴 Tornerò: was the Romanian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2006, performed in English and Italian by Mihai Trăistariu. Tornerò was ranked first in the Romanian national selection on 26 February 2006, receiving 22 points in total. The song is an up-tempo number, with Trăistariu addressing a former lover. He tells him that he is "keeping your smile on my mind every day" and that he knows he will return to him. The chorus (performed in Italian) in fact features him singing both that "she" will return to "him" and that "he" will return to "her". Prior to the Contest, a line was added in which Trăistariu sings in a falsetto voice after the phrase "I just really miss you and I wanna kiss you". In Eurovision 2006 Tornerò had received 172 points, the highest score from Romanian history in Eurovision, placing 4th in a field of 24 . Following the Contest, " Tornerò " became a world hit in Greece, Cyprus, Malta, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Lithuania, Latvia, Macedonia, Croatia, Serbia, Rep. Moldova, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Poland, Belgium, Turkey, Netherlands. New versions were recorded by Mihai himself, as well as the popular Greek pop artists Tamta and Anna Vissi. #Eurovisionsongcontest #EuroRangers #EuroVisionRangers #Eurovision2006 #Romania #Tornerò #MihaiTrăistariu
