Someone in Greece has had the (old) idea of making bossanova versions in Brazil of the Eurovision songs and the result is very laid back and rather pleasant. But why didn't they make these songs in Portuguese then to make them sound more authentic? Some versions work very well - Ding a dong, Waterloo, Volare, L'oiseau et l'enfant and Where are you to name some - while this also makes it obvious some songs can't be saved from their poorness no matter what (Shake it, Secret combination). In all it gets a bit boring and sounds rather quickly made affair. But hey, if you skip some tracks and add some tracks from the other Greek invention Eurorevisions from 2006 like Die for you, Autostop and Mou los and spice it up by Nat Newborn's bossanova version of Hard rock hallelujah and swing version of Fire night (Sata salamaa) from 2007 you get a fantastic summer album to listen while sunbathing and enjoying some caipirinhas.
Małgorzata Jamroży aka Margaret has also been tipped for Eurovision and apparently she did turn it down but she'd be perfect. She's got a look and persona you can't unnotice nor forget, she's got hit songs, she has been voted or nominated for everything from Trendy artist to the Hope of the Year, Fashion Icon and Glamour Woman of the year besides the usual best video, song, album, debut..... Oh she's also a fashion designer! She's very clever with social medias and would surely use it to her advantage if selected for Stockholm 2016. Her debut album is titled Add the blonde , do we need to say more? Except it includes mostly Swedish written pop tunes like Tell me how are ya , Wasted , Start a fire and Heartbeat . And of course her debut single and internationally noticed Thank you very much that you can enjoy below with all its anti-textil feel. I think she's Eurovision perfection, she's cheeky and fun, can we have her?
