cyberjudge Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Does George Michael count as being in already? Careless Whisper is in, but that was with Wham!. Like a Prayer - Madonna (1989) All I Wanna Do - Sheryl Crow (1993) Noms subject to change. Please don't change them. They'll both get my support.

edna Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Ne me quitte pas - Jacques Brel (with english subtitles) Oh oh... although I don't like this song and the lyrics are humilliating and no person should ever dare to say those things... I will have to vote for it. It's Brel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Thanks Viaene, and edna (for making me pay attention), for a bit of education. I'd heard Brel's name before but really didn't know anything about him. There are a bit of scandalous circumstances about this song, and he's very interesting ....

Viaene Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I'm giving it another try to get a belgian artist in the top ten. I heard Brel is quite famous abroad, so I hope he gets some votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) Jacques Brel has amazing songs and is one of the best French* lyricists (?) or even poets of the last century. Terry Jacks' "Seasons in the Sun" is his English version of "Le Moribond". "If you go away" - Terry Jacks is actually "Ne Me Quitte Pas" . Bowie covered "Amsterdam" and "My Death". Other people such as Scott Walker or Marc Almond, among many others, have sung Brel's songs. * I mean, "in" French...
