Joan Franka

Joan Franka stijgt op 17 maart 2012 van 14 naar 7 in de tweede week. Het nummer is de Nederlandse inzending voor het Eurovisiesongfestival 2012.

Joan Franka werd geboren in Rotterdam op 2 april 1990. Joan Franka is half Turks, haar vader overleed toen ze 2 was. Haar volledige naam is Joany Franka Johanna Ayten Hazebroek. Tot haar deelname aan het songfestival was Joan nooit in Turkije geweest, ze spreekt ook geen Turks. Ze werd bekend door haar deelname aan het televisieprogramma The Voice of Holland. Franka werd als één van de zes deelnemers geselecteerd uit 491 opgegeven liedjes voor het Nationaal Songfestival 2012 op 26 februari. Met het nummer You And Me, dat zij zelf schreef samen met Jessica Hoogenboom (artiestennaam Jessie Maria), won ze allereerst het duel met Raffaëla Paton, die Chocolatte ten gehore bracht. In de finale gaf de vakjury de voorkeur aan Ivan Peroti en Pearl Jozefzoon, maar Franka won alsnog dankzij de grote steun van het stemmende tv-publiek. Hierdoor mag zij Nederland vertegenwoordigen op het Eurovisiesongfestival 2012 in Bakoe. Ter ondersteuning van de tekst van You And Me treedt ze op in een indianentooi. Op 1 maart 2012 ontstaat er door een steungroep voor indianen (Real Indian Nation) commotie om het dragen van de indianentooi. Joan Franka over de commotie rondom de tooi in 'Metro' van 10 mei 2012: "Ik had er echt over nagedacht en met de indianen zelf gesproken. Het laatste wat ik wil is mensen beledigen. Het was ook geen heilige tooi, maar een siertooi." Daarnaast valt haar inzending op 2 maart ten prooi aan een in scène gezette plagiaatbeschuldiging van Rambam, een tv-programma van de VARA. De misleiding door werd binnen enkele uren ontzenuwd door reaguurders van het internetforum FOK!

Joan Franka - You And Me
I was five, you were three
We were dancing in the street
And you look just like an angel
You looked opposite the sky
Saw the birds and wondered why
They can fly, a way, so high
In the morning I would wake
And my heart just getting weak
To play in your backyard
In the evening I would go
Telling you I love you so
And I can't wait to see you again
It's you and me and everybody out there
And I can sing that everybody knows
About you and me, but others really care for
And I can sing that everybody knows, about us
We grew up, all in love
Thinking from all above
That we could be together forever
We would never say goodbye
'Cause we promise, you and I
Better love you and had no tie
And I see you walking by
My heart's wonder why
We don't play around no more
Such a shame, we have no time
They were right, we run right
I still love you and in my mind
It's you and me and everybody out there
And I can sing that everybody knows
About you and me, but others really care for
And I can sing that everybody knows, about us
So lyin' in bed, thinking about your days
Thinkin' about it all and how it ends sometimes
Was it wrong or right, was I good enough
It's you and me and everybody out there
And I can sing that everybody knows
About you and me and everybody out there
And I can sing that everybody knows
About you and me, but others really care for
And I can sing that everybody knows, about us

Train

Op 17 maart stijgt Train met Drive By van 11 naar 9. Het is hun zevende single en vierde hit in Nederland en tevens hun vierde top 10 hit. In Frankrijk en Finland was de track al een #1-succes.

Train bestaaat uit zanger Patrick Monahan, gitarist Jimmy Stafford en drummer Scott Underwood. De band werd opgericht in 1994. In 2001 brak de groep door met Drops Of Jupiter (Tell Me) (#3). Hey Soul Sister stond in 2010 7 weken op 1 en werd de hit van het jaar.

Train - Drive By
On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess thats deja vu
But I thought this can't be true
Cause you moved to west L.A or New York or Santa Fe
Or where or ever to get away from me
Oh but that one night
Was more than just right
I didn't leave you cause I was all through
Oh I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
Because I really fell for you
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
mmm the way you do me
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
On the upside of a downward spiral
My love for you went viral
And I loved you every mile you drove away
But now here you are again
So let's skip the "how you been"And
get down to the "more than friends" at last
Oh but that one night
Is still the highlight
I didn't need you until I came to
and I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
Because I really fell for you
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
mmm the way you do me
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Please believe that when I leave
There's nothing up my sleeve but love for you
And a little time to get my head together too
On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess thats deja vu
But I thought this can't be true
Cause
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
mmm the way you do me
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by

Triggerfinger

Triggerfinger stijgt op zaterdag 17 maart 2012 van 24 naar 3 met I Follow Rivers. I Follow Rivers is hun eerste hit in Nederland. In de Mega Top 50 en Single Top 100 haalde de track al #1 en daar is de uitvoering van Triggerfinger daarmee een grotere hit dan het origineel van Lykki Li. De hit komt tot stand tijdens de show van Giel Beelen op 3FM waar artiesten bijna dagelijks live optreden. De acts spelen eigen werk en worden gevraagd om een cover te spelen van een hit uit de Mega Top 50. De band speelt het nummer van de Zweedse Lykki Li op 12 februari 2012 in een zogenaamde ‘fraGiele versie’. Ze maken daarbij naast de gitaren, ook gebruik van een koffiekopje, een theeglas, bovenop een kliko en een mes. Drummer Mario Goossens gebruikt dat keukengerei omdat hij anders niets te doen heeft. Donderdag 1 maart 2012 doet Giel in De Wereld Draait Door een oproep om het op #1 te krijgen in de iTuneslijst. Dat lukt niet alleen in die lijst. Triggerfinger is niet de eerste act die I Follow Rivers covert. De cast van ‘Glee’ ging de band in 2011 al voor in de aflevering 'Night of neglect' en dan zingt Jenna Ushkowitz het nummer. Ook Chef’ special, Moss, Blaudzun en Band of skulls coverden het bij Giel.

Triggerfinger bestaat uit zanger en gitarist Ruben Block, bassist Paul Van Bruystegem en drummer Mario Goossens. De groep werd opgericht in 1998 en stond twee keer op Pinkpop (2005 en 2010) en twee keer op Lowlands (2008 en 2010). Soon was in 2008 hun eerste single. In Vlaanderen haalde All This Dancin' Around in 2010 nummer 22 in de Vlaamse Ultratop 50.

Triggerfinger - I Follow Rivers
Oh I beg you, can I follow?
Oh I ask you, why not always?
Be the ocean, where I unravel
Be my only, be the water where I’m wading.
You’re my river running high,
Run deep, run wild.
I, I follow, I follow you
Deep sea baby, I follow you
I, I follow, I follow you
Dark doom honey, I follow you
He a message, I’m the runner.
He the rebel, I’m the daughter waiting for you.
You’re my river running high
Run deep, run wild.
I, I follow, I follow you,
Deep sea baby, I follow you
I, I follow, I follow you
Dark doom honey, I follow you
You’re my river running high,
Run deep, run wild.
I, I follow, I follow you,
Deep sea baby, I follow you
I, I follow, I follow you
Dark doom honey, I follow you
I, I follow, I follow you,
Deep sea baby, I follow you
I, I follow, I follow you
Dark doom honey, I follow you

Birdy stijgt op 3 maart 2012 van 11 naar 7 met People Help The People. Het is haar derde single. Shelter uit juni 2011 haalde de Tipparade niet, maar Skinny Love schopte het tot nummer 2 in de Top 40 en zelfs tot nummer 1 in de Single Top 100. De track haalde ook al #957 in de Radio 2 Top 2000 van 2011.

Jasmine van den Bogaerde werd geborden op 15 mei 1986 in Lymington, Hampshire in het Verenigd Koninkrijk.

Birdy - People Help The People
God knows what is hiding in that weak and drunken heart
I guess you kissed the girls and made them cry
those Hardfaced Queens of misadventure
God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes
a Fiery throng of muted angels
Giving love and getting nothing back
People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and i'll hold it
People help the people
And nothing will drag you down
Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned, all those good hearts away
God knows what is hiding, in that world of little consequence
Behind the tears, inside the lies
A thousand slowly dying sunsets
God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
I guess the loneliness came knocking
No on needs to be alone, oh save me
People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and i'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned, all those good hearts away
People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned, all those good hearts away

I don't use a cordless microphone, avoid them
They don't feel real to me
Meaning real woman
Others built on me
You the primer on the lime bean green box when I couldn't afford the Ford
Clean socks scootin' across the floor in your grandmama's house
Hand on your mouth
You yap too much about the Penny-Ante, this mechanic's so uncanny
X-men, X-men, your ex-boyfriend should thank me that I took you off his hands
No I can't bring another beach to the sand
And know I am well aware that you can bring a man to his knees
And get what you need without saying please
But can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat
And they put this man's Grammy's on the street?
What? Why so quiet?
Hate that all of our memories happened in a Hyatt
You were perfect before you went on a diet
You was way different, you think I don't remember
Shit, the magazine got to your head
Now somebody you don't even know got you in bed
Bet your buddy don't even know you don't like red
Or was it fuchsia, fuck it, our future is dead.
[Lil Wayne]
I thought a pussy cat had 9 lives man
Oh no
(I miss that pussy, that pussy, that pussy, that pussy)
Oh no
I'ma about to kill this bitch
Oh no
She gave away all my shit
(I miss that pussy, that pussy, that pussy, that pussy)
Oh no
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I miss ya girl
(Fuck that bitch!)
