Eurovision Runner up Week! #2 - maNga - We Could Be The Same

[@alina_bbubbu]

My favorite song from the Eurovision Song Contest. It still hurts that they didn't win.

[@Hleb_hleb]

One of the best rock performance on the eurovision❤❤❤

[@user-dl5zl5ph6q]

Still one of the best songs in Eurovision history

[@catrionacolville2192]

Only in studio cut

[@stopit2036]

Manga konserine gidip life dinlememiş biri olarak boş boş konuşuyorsun ,,manga canlı 100 kat daha iyidir

[@emretasin]

best rock performance in eurovision history 🇹🇷❤️

[@aduantas8609]

Back in 2010 a song this contemporary being on Eurovision was mind-blowing

[@vohol6158]

This brings back memories. I used to listen to their music a lot after seeing them on ESC. I loved their musical style and how the Turkish language sounded. Oh and the vocalist's voice of course. Im gonna go now and binge on their music again

[@marsh2741]

One of my fave eurovision entries everrr

[@tonyking1152]

Best Eurovision song ever, no doubt.

[@karlJCompton]

I still don’t understand how Germany won over this. This was just phenomenally. People here in the UK that don’t watch Eurovision knew and liked this song.

[@thesnesgeek]

The studio version sucks, Satelite had become a radio hit before the contest began. We could be the same had alot to live up to, it needed a strong performance, something it got. It was just a bit too late.

[@wangboya]

Germany has been extremely unsuccessful in the years before and made a huge effort in 2010 (the national broadcaster produced a huge talent show to select the german entry). Also, they threatened to withdraw from Eurovision at some point id they won't get away from the bottom of the scoreboard, so maybe the EBU didn't want to lose its biggest financial contributor.

[@thesnesgeek]

@@wangboya and Satelite became a hit thus making Lena on of the biggest german stars. Can you find the booths to apply in 2024?

[@tetama2agani]

One of the best band in Eurovision and still a fan favorite after years❤❤

[@LovingLipgloss]

Always have felt this song was ahead of its time! Would still do so well in this era🫶

[@esclad]

I hope Turkey to come back into Eurovision. I've missed them since 2012..

[@Yugiyiyugis]

🇹🇷🐺we won't be come back

My favourite Eurovision song EVER

[@hannahm6497]

Still one of my absolute favourites

[@paullashmana]

Such a great track!

[@ErsenAsper]

This was the year when the Manga band was most popular. I think they also received "the best rock band of Europe" award from MTV that year.

[@ordinaryvalley]

Wow that performance is above eurovision standards 🎉🎉 fire 🔥🔥

[@7sillage]

Real winner Manga

[@marinabolotova2779]

Harika bir şarkı! Great song! Чудова пісня, обожнюю!

[@artynd]

Lyriclywise it should be Eurovision anthem: I see you dancing like a star No matter how different we are For just one night, we could be the same No matter what they say

[@lovisalindstrom7920]

i remember this band did seem so used to being on stage. They were already popular in Turkey and had a nice resume before ESC. The video was better than the stage performance. He has such sweet eyes, perhaps too sweet for a rock singer.

[@Burcubbr]

Bir türk olarak MaNga ile büyüdüm ve her şarkısını ezbere bilirim. MaNga'nın her şarkısında olan kendilerine has bir tonları var çığlık atmaksa mesele sizi "Hayko Cepkin" e yönlendiriyorum. Müzisyen değilim sesim iyi değil ama kulağımın olduğunu düşünüyorum ve bence yaptığınız yorumların bazılarında haksız olduğunuzu düşünüyorum. Teşekkürler. Sevgiyle kalın.

[@eceozuduru5148]

Fazla gereksiz gömmüşler bence. Hele o sahne şovuyla o sene Eurovision’u kazanamamamız büyük haksızlıktı.

[@Burcubbr]

@@eceozuduru5148 yani bilmeden yorum yapıyorlar gibime geldi her insanın farklı bir kulağı var tamam ama diğerlerine nazaranda o sene gerçekten mükemmel bir sahne ve şarkıydı anlamıyorum gerçekten.. hadi sadece benim fikrim olsun ama bir çok insanda benimle aynı fikirde

[@Lambertv]

Those strings are like the signature thing of MaNga

[@sav0001]

Should have won, way better than Satellite imo and has stood the test of time

[@icesam931]

My favourite song

[@elina0301]

I love how Mike always point out that they just need to scream a little haha ;)

[@stevenoldham8035]

The rightful winner of 2010 👏🏼 Satellite was a good song, but this was better.

[@ZauvijekMoja]

This was such a good time... when Türkiye and Israel were still friends... we were rooting for each other, and Turkish & Israeli fans were standing with flags together in Oslo, Norway.... it was so much fun back then. Now it's just wars and conflicts )-: We could be the same

[@SectorA.]

The fact that politicians are enemies with each other doesn’t change people's ability to empathize, even if they are on the other side of the world. What unites us here is simply a song from 14 years ago. Greetings to all nations from Turkey. We could be the same, never changed, always human, always the same.

[@birchleaf]

Manga = Japanese comic books. Anime = Japanese cartoons. And of course a lot of manga also becomes anime.

[@Mertbabasisert]

Manga also means a small military unit in Turkish, kind of like a platoon or squad

[@hedgehogf98]

I still to this day cannot understand how Germany won over this. In my opinion, Lena’s song was pretty mundane and she wasn’t too strong vocally. maNga’s lyrics were much deeper, the staging was amazing and the performance was much more memorable for me.

[@PowerSpirit50]

I thought her song was cute.

[@MewDenise]

Cause it was catchy and her accent was cute. Everyone in my school was mimicking it.

[@07012969]

Yeah I never understood it either. Lena was sooo boring. I really thought it would get 0 points so I was shocked that it won. Just wasn’t my cup of tea 🤷‍♀️

[@MissMars2022]

Lena won, not the song. That’s why.

[@darkprofile]

After all those years only Germans remember Lena. And the rest of the world remember how Manga couldn't win eurovision.

[@MIKRASIATISSA]

a robot and a human could finally be the same as the robot became human. so what they say mattered i guess lol :D

[@batsy1283]

The staging is taken directly from the song's lyrics. The song tells about the love between a robot and a human. In the song, he talks about how different they actually are, but says they could be the same for one day. Dedicated to this, the robot on stage turns into a human. The lyrics are of course a metaphor. maNga wrote this song about racism, and used black and white flags on stage to dedicate it.

[@herseymumkunegerinanrsan7881]

Yabancı insanların guzel yorumlari beni grurlandirdi🥹 Gercekten hakki yenmis bir sarki ve performans. Gönlümüzün birincisi MaNga ❤🇹🇷

[@selfmachine_]

its sad Türkiye has stopped participating at Eurovision in 2013

[@UmutKanat-rp3fz]

all the reaction nicely natural not like other reaction extra thanks for it

[@Taurusa01]

Manga is an anime book Their clips are most of animated things because of that their names is Manga

[@çiçek-h6e]

This was a whole concert

[@ssmuses]

hahahah thank you for honest critism i loved. so if i could talk about manga; everybody knows in turkish comminty they inspired from LP , but incubus also makes sense. But even inspriations Manga still our loved band

[@pleegjepleegje]

[@Özkan-j2y]

Love youu From Türkiye :)

[@stefanig4834]

This should have won

[@JorgyValenko]

My gut feeling tells me you'd end up loving Albania's entry from that year. And finding the one from Lithuania charming.

[@JKFoundaStone]

Waiting for the Turks to take over the comment section saying this was robbed ...

[@Atkn33]

we're here already bro

[@andrelini]

not a turk but i agree with them

[@luisestradahernandez6338]

Mexican here and yes, they were robbed

[@sav0001]

Not a Turk but I completely agree with them, this is much much better than Satellite imo

[@KevinSoulliaert]

finaly st pid hat, and yep equaly handsome

[@Support4MySingers]

Hi guys, I know people ask you to watch so many things, but it would really mean the world to me, other Aussies, and this amazing Aussie singer if you checked out some of her music videos. Cosima De Vito. “Now that you can’t have me” “One night without you” “When the war is over”. Her entire debut album (“Cosima”, from 2004) was written and produced by THE Diane Warren. I know you will love her voice. Cosima is Australia’s Celine Dion. Something different for you guys to watch/listen to. Lots of love and support from Australia, Mark xox

[@junfan]

ferman (the vocal guy) didn't kiss the girl because the girl was yağmur's (the guy on the left who plays electronic guitar) boyfriend at that time :p

[@yorumustasi]

The Singer kiss not the women in the end, because he is married.

[@tooniitz]

I bet he admired Serj Tankian from System of a Down. It was my first thought.

[@ohrusty]

Those of you who LOVE this contribution -- could you explain why to me, besides saying it's a great rock song? I love some parts, but it's a bit eclectic to me. I've wondered why so many people like/liked this one.

[@B13.B13]

manga means in turkish "military unit consisting of 10 people"

[@_._user_._]

Please make a reaction to the winners of Eurovision 2004 and 2016

[@magnusio5292]

Good song, but I still think it was weird it got so high as 2nd place. Good talk!

[@yorumustasi]

The Group calls Manga because they make in the paar Manga Musik Videos like the band Gorillaz. Ich kann euch Songs nennen, sie sind in guter Qualität vorhanden aber durch die Suche nicht zu finden. Falls Ihr Interesse habt sagt Bescheid.

[@sandaar248]

still don’t understand why the audience was dead one of my fav runner ups and my 2010 winner (that year was horrible actually)

[@-playerslevel-771]

2010 was to early for such a sound. 5 years later: winner song.

[@candidoferreira3353]

For me they sound like system of a down!

[@nocturne7371]

Turkey did so well in the contest the last 10 years of them competing. Then Erdogan didn't want them to take part because of reasons. It was a great loss for the contest.

[@yorumustasi]

Ich bin selber Türke, lebe in Deutschland, fand Manga schon immer super, ich erinnere mich auch wo sie diesen Song rausgebracht haben, die Hook hatte nie sehr gut gefallen, doch was mich gestört hatte war die Melodie außerhalb der Hook, es war mir zu soft, zu lahm, zu wenig power. Vielleicht wäre eine E-Gitarre die die Stimme begleitet besser, und dann in der Hook ein Stück kräftiger, deswegen meinte ich wo der Song neu rauskam das sie es ruiniert haben, obwohl die Hook und die Show super waren / sind. Und die Meinung habe ich bis heute.

[@YARLIG]

Eurovision tarihinin net en iyi performansı ve kazanamadı , hikaye bu kadar.

I must be one of the ONLY people who finds this song so damn overrated!. I've never understood the appeal. It's an okay song at best (IMO) but I understand that there's a lot of love for this song.

[@Kadehtar]

try this too : Manga - fly to stay alive

[@yualexius210]

What's the no. 1? Tell me it's Russia 2015. U guys reacted to France 2021 already.

[@theobenkaya]

I have no idea what on earth you guys talking about. You should listen the shit one that won that year. This song has a great arrangement. I can’t believe how you guys were like talking for months that pop is not your cup of tea this that not your cup of tea.. and you are like more rock n roll person and this was best of Eurovision perfect mashup for amazing rock sound fused with the cultural elements the strings the flute, the darbuka… this was the most Eurovision rock staging possible. This song was everything and if they would have represented any other country they would have won. But we still love you boys. It’s just your commentary under delivered than the song 😂

[@MissMars2022]

What are you talking about? I don’t understand the message of your post. Secondly, they are no boys, they are men! And third: why are you talking of WE? Speak for yourself and don‘t involve others.

[@tolgatamer5584]

Yeah the winning “extra special” song is a crappy pop song that is not even close to what you heard musically… shame… you should have listened to both winner and the runner up to decide which one is better, and never forget that Eurovision is a POLITICALLY driven song contest and musicality is the least important parameter.
