@rost, no these videos aren't their song, we will learn the song on march kalinka 
and of course they aren't u2, i don't think there is another band like u2 in world
@ TROJAN LADY [60497]
Isn/t the song posted above is THE song
ICARUS???
But even if it's not -
the sound's so poor -
U2 they ARE NOT!!!!
ohh my God, you guys attack that group before even to listen the song. TRT is not stupid , i m sure they know what they doing , Yüksek Sadakat for sure give some songs to TRT and TRT like them! Same happen with maNga last year, almost all turkish fans dont want them beacuse they wasnt famous in Turkey, but final maNga bring the 2 place for Turkey with an exellent song ( who for me must be the winner song ), guys a famous singer or group dont quarantee the victory or a good place and we have many examples about that ! Also some Turkish fans moan beacuse TRT didnt ask them , sorry guys but in previous years TRT ask anybody or make a National final ? So stop to attack Yüksek Sadakat before to listen theyr song beacuse who knows ? Maybe will be the winners 
And something else...if by change Turkey dont take a good place this year is not the end of the world for God sake . So pls wait to listen the song and if you dont like it you can protest, utleast you will have a reason to get agry
I started thinking that these protestors are supported by some singers' companies. Can't believe my eyes!! How can you claim that Yüksek Sadakat is a unfamous group? Do you think that Atiye has more hits than them? Or will Europe fall in love with our" wannabe Madonna"??
Thanks to TRT, we will be represented by real musicians again. Like or not but respect please!
Good luck Trukiye )))Hope your entry will be 1 of the best
lol rost where did u hear the turkish entry? cause we still dunno it 
@ rost,like u heard the entry meh
Yüksek Sadakats style is not as mixed and hard like maNgas so stop spreading the word "Turkey sends rock everytime"
and open ur ears x)
Ok maybe we had enough rock from Turkey, but is there anyone else who sends rock in esc? I think turkish fans have to wait for the song and judge then. Being the lovely child of fans and media doesn't mean success for sure.
wow!
what a disaster!!!!
the worst turkish entry in more than a dacade
@ Eurovision Turkey,
Although I totaly agree with you I don't reckon there is something we can do about it. But pray that They will come up with a good song and performance...
haha
Amen
plus we heard these kind of reactions when Trt chose maNga last year and these lil protestors were cheering for maNga at the front row in May
Yüksek Sadakat is declared as a non famous band with a decription"no one knows them here in Turkey"
shame on you .seriously.
just because you want ur favourite artist to be chosen u can easily diss a bands whole life work?
they started playing together when some of those protestors were babies
so shut up,lay back and wait for the song.appreciated or not a good song with a bad result is better than a not deserved 4th place-hello hadise the lack of breath-
im just laughing my a.. off against these childish protests
Yüksek Sadakat will represent Turkey.period.
I just read TRT'S response to all this protest against the band so i quote:TRT's President of Music Department, Deniz Çakmakoğlu, stated that they made the choice in terms of TRT's basic criteria. Çakmakoğlu also added that "Our representative artist or group who will honour us abroad need to have some standard features, educational and cultural level of in their musical diversity."
Against anti-campaigns to Yüksek Sadakat's representation Deniz Çakmakoğlu added: "So everyone can not go to Eurovision. That doesn't make these artists worthless (cheap) or bad musician but someone who you do not expect any success, make his/their chance 
bigger at the stage."
So i guess there will stick to their initial decision.Turkish fans should just calm down and wait for the song!
ay allahim ya. tamam bende hic sevmem bu grubu ve sarkilarini hatta belki ustumuzden bla blasindan nefret ederim derecesinde ama yani artik secilmis bekleyelim sarkilari. yani rimi rimi leyden kotu bir sarki ya da sarkiciarmi ki bu kadar tepki veriliyor. facebookta gruplar vs. bence simardi insanlar artik. gecen senede 2.lik geldi ya artik hep oyle olmasini istiyorlar. hersene olmazki top5. al sirbistana bakin 2009 da finale bile kalamadi.

WE DON'T WANT THEM IN ESC !! ESC TODAY DO SOMETHING FOR TURKISH FANS PLEASE ...TRT MUST HEAR OUR VOICE !! THIS BAND IS NOT PROFESSIONAL ...
We don't want them !! TRT did not ask to the fans "who should go to ESC this year ? ! It is not fair ! The decision should be changed ! and I am calling for Turkish fans who are upset with the desicion... this is the our rejection page on facebook go and support us ...we don't want them in ESC go !!

i love turkish songs , good luck
good u've learnt about it Francisco, then next year if turkey sends a pop song, don't say we always send ethno pop songs to the contest lol
4 or 5 times turkish rock..... I think it's enough....we know that you've got rock bands..... Irland has balladas, yes we know too and Spain latino !! change please
@dimitris ok, i hope u will inform us later
@okan meraba and u may like his songs but he simply couldn't sing in greek NF of 2008
btw dimitris, any news about the greek selection? i heard kostas martakis will be a candidate again but i hope it isn't true...
i hope he is gonna be in the contest. i love his songs )
ATA
No news really.Rumor has it,there is a list of 6 candidates till now but no Martakis in it(hopefully).
Not that the rest of them are anything extraordinary but we will know the following weeks i guess...
For m,e perfect vocals is not of the same importance as songs and music diversity.Besides,it's not a talent show.It's a song contest.
Perfect or almost perfect vocals of 2009 for example:
France,U.K,Iceland,Estonia,Mal ta,Lithuania,Portugal,Moldova, Sweden,Serbia,Netherlands,Isra el,Slovakia,Croatia,B&H,Armenia,Russia...
I will always opt for a good song which is sung not exactly perfectly than an average or bad song sung perfectly!
Well,we will just have to agree to disagree on this
btw dimitris, any news about the greek selection? i heard kostas martakis will be a candidate again but i hope it isn't true...
