After the Finals...

come the claims of plagarism!

Like the tides or interest rates going up, accusations of plagarism have become inevitable in each Eurovision contest (and we love them!). The latest storm in a tea cup concerns Germany's song-writer: Remee. The Danish song-writer claims to have written 'Disappear' "a long time before" the remarkably similar song 'Break the Silence' appeared (performed by a talent show entrant called Steffi List).

Here is Steffi List's 'Break the Silence' and here are No Angels with 'Disappear'

Hmmm...after we had heard both of the songs we seriously consider the German entry "Dissapear" as being a plagiat of the Steffi List's song!
Our advice to "No Angels" would be to withdrawn themselves before being disqualified! Such way they could keep some honour...

A face-saving self-disqualification would be a great idea for quite a few entrants from 2008! :-)

'No Angels' were definitely our 3rd pick from the German nationals (from 5 choices!). One of the editors has their song ranked 6th overall - but the rest of us reckon it will land around 20th overall.
