Eurovision Top 30: Number 17

Artist: Yüksek Sadakat
Song title: Live It Up
Year: 2011
Country: Turkey
Place: 13th in the first semi final

Yüksek is perhaps one of those singers who are better pre-recorded than they are live. This entry never made it to the final and one of the reasons for that I feel is yet another case of the performance on the night not going well. I've included a video with the song in it rather than the actual performance because I quite like the song and wish the performance had been better on the night. If it had then it would have made it through to the final. This song is a bit safe though, which is one of the awkward things about Eurovision, we have mentioned risks before and how they don't always pay off, the flip-side to that is simply that tracks which play it too safe often end up middle of the road and don't win.
