Thanks both Ali Sengun for your Kenan ' Amsterdam video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNDM5uUkFFU and Mer Maid for your Kenan' s 2 interview videos ! At the same time I looked at Kenan Dogulu 's Official Website http://www.kenandogu(...)01.english/index.asp .It is really well-prepared ! I like Shake it up Shekerim very much and Kenan Dogulu too.Turkey is my only favourite in ESC 2007.
@Chi Chi
No,We're Turkish
@mermaid
maybe you're soul-mates lolll

mer maid
You've said what I had in me to express.... you are great...
Thanks a lot Mer Maid !
I watched the first interview and I understood that Kenan is an artist who knows his responsibility and works hard.I also liked Shake it up Shekerim which includes wonderful melodies .At the same time I decided to vote for TURKEY this year in ESC night.And now I am going to watch the second interview !
Good days and good luck to TURKEY !
@mermaid
wowww great!!!
I think France gave 12 to Armenia, not Turkey.
And Belgium too!
And dear BJ, some days ago Dutch media put Turkey to third place! Are they Turk diaspora???
@bj
of course you can not understand that!! here's what you need:

@mermaid
just take it easy like me, cause i think they're sooo funny hehe
@to those talking about the Turks abroad
In ESC,every country has different advantages.Orthodox countries vote for each other,so do Scandinavians and other block countries no matter how the song is.When we have all these voting for particular countries,diaspora voting is the only thing Turkey has so it is really unfair to mention it.Diaspora voting is the most innocent one!
If you guys had lived abroad,you would have also voted for your country.If non-Turks in those countries do not give a crap about esc and bother to vote for the song they like,it will not be Turks' problem.
Besides Turkey is one of the best esc country when it comes to songs and stage performances,and deserves every single vote it gets from a Turk or non-Turk.
@Derya T
Very well said my dear friend.
There are lots of people who are green with envy..All they can do is looking for excuses not to like...Hating is easier for them so,
Let them live in their small world,do not even bother to reply them as it is impossible to make them change their mind!
@erikos
you're right, i'm not 5, just turned 6!!!
GoKenan!!!
Guys 
Unfortunately they cant think if it was just Turk diaspora, we MUST be at least in TOP 5 every year!
I really feel getting angry with this "diaspora" word!
pufffffff!
I saw that Kenan Dogulu is really a good singer ! I found one more thing about him ! This link shows http://www.kenandogu(...)01.english/index.asp and I listened his lots of songs in the entry by using ambient player button !
@b j
yeah, he might need JUST a shaving cream but you need more than that i'm afraid:

Erika Lansen, I don't care if you don't like Kenan's song, why should that be so important?
There is probably tens and tens of messages always complaining about the "Turkish Diaspora" in "Europe" and that it will give "all" the votes to Turkey. My comment is an answer to your message and to similar other messages. If you believe strongly that all the votes to Turkey are from Turks, then I have the right to say that these comments are racist, and a reflect of the socialogical situation i "western Europe" believing that no Christian European will vote for Turks. Very simple.
carina
LOL! You said you've only heard this song 1 BUT it's not your favorite song.. BUT it is in your head since you heard it.. You think it has a good chance BUT probably you won't be voting for it. BUT you think it's 1 of the better songs this year!
C'mon girl! You can vote if you listen again and espcially after watch him on stage!
Cheers
I liked Kenan Dogulu and his eurovision song " Shake it up Shekerim ".Then I searched about him and I found Kenan Dogulu's official site.At the same time I looked at the space which was prepared for him. Link is here http://www.myspace.com/kenandogulu74
* Good luck TURKEY !
WOW Chi chi larue!!!
Did you just back me up??? Cool...thanx i guess!
And a tiny friendly tip. Don't call me erikos lansos...making "funny" remarks with people's names, or even nick names is sooo kindergarden behaviour and i am sure you are not 5 anymore
@derya
just cool down, i dont agree with erika most of the time but this time yes i think she didnt mean it (religion or something) whats more, this is not the place to talk political issues.. let's not extend this subject anymore...
GoKenan!!!
Derya T,
What i said was simple with no hidden message or a different agenda. I said the turkish people who live in europe...in other words those who migrated and don't live in Turkey anymore.
What you are saying, you just got it out of your head... why were you looking for something that i didn't said? Was it because i said i find Kenan's song weak? If someone has a different opinion from the rest of you, is not respected anymore???
Gimmie a break...
