Lucky 12b

Hi everybody!!!
My Name is Timo Luk����¯�¿�½������¡s & I'm living in Baden-W����¯�¿�½������¼rttemberg (South-West-Germany), near the Swiss Border. Many People wrote ?what? they are, so: I have Bavarian, Czech, Polish & Norwegish Ancestors (I know, that sounds like a crazy Mix, but it' true). I����¯�¿�½������´m 18 Years old & so grown-up in German Right:-D

My 1st ESC, or Grand Prix, like we say in Germany, was 1998, when Guildo Horn represented Germany & got 7th at the End. This was within the short Time, when ESC was really popular in Germany & the only ESC, which I watched together with my whole Family. I am a crazy Fan since then. Sometimes I think, that I am the last German Fan. At the Moment, our Preselection System is so silly, that I really understand our bad Results of the last Years. This Year, there will be a Change again...I hope finally a positive. But that's not the only Problem. It's no Secret, that or Big4-Status & the massive Diaspora-Voting are very important Reasons, too.

I am a big Enemy of the Jury-Comeback, too. I think all real Fans are. In my Opinion, it is like this: We wanted OUR Points back, which were stolen US bye Imigrants (I am not aganst Imigrants, but against Imigrants, that only vote for "their own" Country. That is against the Idea of ESC, & its Founder would be angry, too), & NOT, that the Jury steals us the Rest of OUR Votes. As real Fan, & want to be Part of the Voting-Procedure & not only an underage Viewer. The Jury will help Germany for better Results, but that's noting, if I have to give up my Right to a Say.
My self-constructed Idea, to make the Voting fairer: The Voting should be 100\\\\\\% (!) Televoting. The only Change to 2008: You can vote as often as you want, but only 1 Time fo each Country. So, everyone of the Family can vote for his Favourite, Fans that have more than 1 Favourite don����¯�¿�½������´t have to split their Votes & Immigrants maybe vote for their Favourite SONG after voting for their "own" Country. So Diaspora Voting would have none really big Effect anymore & really the best Song (not the Song Juries tell us we Fans "have to like") would win. After EBU asked for Ideas, I sent them my Idea & didn����¯�¿�½������´t get an Answer until today, not even an automatical. & instead of making the Voting really fair, EBU only does like they try to make it more fair, only because my Idea would reduce their Income from Televoting. There really would be other Ways to save Money, but EBU is a Dictatorship, that doesn����¯�¿�½������´t care about Fans Opinion.
I created a Petition for this Rule: http://www.ipetition(...)ingforesc/index.html
Please support it, if you are my Opinion.

Of Course, my biggest Dream is to participate in ESC, too, but that's a almost impossible Dream, we all carry with us. Many People say, that I would be a good Singer, so I plan to participate in several Casting Shows. & maybe?
I love to sing & to learn Lyrics by Heart in different Languages. Together with German & English, my favourite Languages are Slovenian & Swedish. I also know Songs by Heart in: Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish, Dutch, Croatian, Danish, Romanian & Japanese. & if Trailer Melodies count, too: French, Hebrew, Arabic, Hungarian, Catalan, Icelandic & Greek. Very many Songs are from ESC of Course.

An other Hobby of me is to write German Versions of Non-German Songs. Most of them are from ESC or from Preselections. I plan to load them up to Youtube, but I don����¯�¿�½������´t have the Karaoke Versions of most of them. So If you have a Karaoke Version of following Songs & are interested to know, what the Song would sound like in German Language, it would be great of you to send it to me(lucky8b@web.de)

Here are my Top10 of the last Years. I will complete the List later:

Athens 2006
1 of my all Time Favourite Years. Except of Bosnia-Herzegowina & Lithuania, I really loved all Songs. My Top10:
1 ? Norway
2 ? Estonia
3 ? Poland
4 ? Denmark
5 ? United Kingdom
6 ? Switzerland
7 ? Belarus
8 ? Malta
9 ? Ukraine
10 ? Moldova
Like I told above, Bosnia-Herzegovina was the worst

Helsinki 2007
1 ? Spain
2 ? Ukraine (sorry, but it's in German)
3 ? the Netherlands
4 ? Norway
5 ? Estonia
6 ? Cyprus
7 ? United Kingdom
8 ? Switzerland
9 ? Denmark
10 ? Austria
the very-worst of all was Hungary

Belgrade 2008
1 ? Slovenia
2 ? Andorra
3 ? Sweden
4 ? Iceland
5 ? Latvia
6 ? Norway
7 ? Georgia
8 ? Belarus
9 ? Ireland
10 ? Estonia
the worst was Moldova

Moskva 2009:
1 - Montenegro
2 - Finnland
3 - Spain
4 - Netherlands
5 - Azerbaijan
6 - Israel
7 - Albania
8 - Romania
9 - Hungary
10 - Greece
the worst was Armenia.

Like you see, my "worst Entries" got often relative good Places at the End, so if you will ever participate in ESC, take a Song, that I hate;-)

For the next 3 Years: We all know about the Conflict of Armenia & Azerbaijan 2009. What maybe many People don������´t know, or forgot, is, that Lebanon tried to compete in 2005 & wasn������´t able to, because their Government didn������´t allow them to send Israels Entry & the EBU didn������´t allow them to ignorate it. So Lebanon got a 3-Years-Bann. Azerbaijan ignored the Armenian Entry 2009 & only had to pay an absurd small Fee. The Showing of Tatik Papik wasn������´t right, too & I don������´t want to become partial in this Conflict or decide which Action was more evil. But in Azerbaijans Case, we have a Precedent! & That������´s the EBUs Fail, that some Countries can do what they want, while others get punished for the same Crime. It������´s not fair to Lebanon to let Azerbaijan take Part in ESC in the following 3 Years. So I will ignorate the next 3 Azerbaijani Entries, no Matter what good or what bad they are. Again, I������´m telling you, that I������´m neutral. You see, that Azerbaijan is in my Top10 of 2009 while Armenia is the worst & I AM a Friend of Israel & have NOT ANY Connections to Lebanon. But EBUs Doing in this Case is WRONG & I������´m only a Person, that hopes: Anytime, we will have a fair ESC!
