OGAE SONG CONTEST 2003

  TURKEY

The OGAE Song Contest Turkish Selection 2003 Party was held on Saturday night and the party was really amazing. If you do not consider how many bottles of wine and beer were consumed, I think we have made our decision correctly!  

In fact, every juror knew their own favourites before the contest so the result would be the same I guess. First of all, I would like to thank to all our friends from other OGAE clubs who have cast their votes. The international part of the jury nominated Sezen Aksu's SARKI SOYLEMEK LAZIM as their favourite entry, and the Turkish part of the jury's favourites were both the same song and XL by Nil. 48 jurors attributed their results and here is the final score table of Saturday night's selection:

1) SARKI SÖYLEMEK LAZIM - 355,60 (Sezen Aksu)

2) XL - 331,20 (Nil)

3) RESMEN ASIGIM - 321,00 (Nil)

4) NASIHAT (UNUTURSUN) - 272,60 (Deniz Seki)

5) HEP YEK - 270,80 (Ozlem Tekin)

6) SEN YOLUNA... BEN YOLUMA - 264,80 (Hande Yener)

7) DANSOZ DUNYA - 256,00 (Sezen Aksu)

8) GAMSIZ HAYAT - 227,20 (Candan Ercetin)

9) ALAGUL - 191,20 (Funda Arar)

10) DAGLARI DELDIM - 186,40 (Ozlem Tekin)

14) SENINIM - 154,20 (Funda Arar)

15) ISTER GEL ISTER GELME - 88,00 (Seden Gurel)

So, SEZEN AKSU, the QUEEN of TURKISH POP MUSIC will represent us in the OGAE SONG CONTEST 2003 to be held by OGAE UK, with her song SARKI SOYLEMEK LAZIM (we've got to sing / il faut chanter)...

THANKS TO AYKUT, OGAE TURKEY!
