Turks want Murat Boz

TRT has having online poll once again to see who the Turks want to represant them. This method has been used the past a couple of years and indeed the favourites have ended up on Eurovision stage. Instead of having an open poll they have proposed five names instead so could this mean these five have agreed to go to Germany if chosen? Three of these names are very familiar and rumoured and tipped already before namely Murat Boz, 
Emre Aydın and Şebnem Ferah. Hande Yenerand Atiye Deniz arenew names on this list. Previosuly both Aydın  and Ferah have turned Eurovision down if my memory doesn't completely fails me, or at least have rumoured to have done so. 

At the moment the situation looks like this:
1. Murat Boz  30% (2.479 votes) 
İki Medeni İnsan Maximum Sallana sallana
2. Emre Aydın  28% (2.388 votes)
Alıştım Susmaya Bu Yağmurlar  Git
3. Hande Yener  14% (1.214 votes)
Bodrum  Sopa Romeo
4. Atiye Deniz  14% (1.205 votes)
Beyaz Eşya Muamma Don't think
5. Şebnem Ferah  13% (1.104 votes)
Sigara   Mayın Tarlası   Bu Aşk Fazla San

Turkey has been one of the most succesful countries the past few years. maNga finished 2nd this year, Hadise came 4th in 2009, Mor ve Ötesi  7th in 2008 and Kenan Doğulu also 4th in 2007.  TRT seems to be alternating with rock and pop so 2011 should be pop year again.

ESC 2016 WISH LIST: MARGARET FOR POLAND

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?

Rumors, rumors, rumors....

While the national selections for Junior Eurovision are going on around Europe and Ani Lorak's been confirmed as host all sort of rumors about the real thing are beginning to be the order of the day. Austria returns - or then not. Andorra stays home - or then not. San Marino returns - well, most likely but not surely. Luxembourg should make a come back - or then maybe not. Liechtenstein is still in the running - or has it ever been for real? Has the local TV ever confirmed anything? Is it just wishful thinking by the fans? Poland on the other hand has confirmed they will be in Oslo. And Italy will be still out. And apparently there will be no ban or such for Azerbaijan nor Spain for the irregularities in and after the 2009 edition. EBU had to change the text in the rules to make it sure nothing like that what happened in Azerbaijan could happen again. Or if it will they have means and rules to back up a ban or sanction.... Katerina Avgoustakis has been rumored to be in Oslo...

ESC 2016 BELARUS: NAKED WITH WOLVES?

Today's funniest Eurovision related story comes from Belarus. Some sources claim Ivan wants to perform on stage naked and with live wolf or wolves. It surely would be a first on Eurovision stage! We have seen some forgotten underwear over the years, and some cardbox animals though..... Is it time to take things a bit further?  No, according the rules live animals are not allowed, and Eurovision being a family show nudity won't do either. (It seems to be ok to be half naked if you are a dancer though..... )

EUROVISION 2026 - PORTUGAL: BANDIDOS DO CANTE WINS FESTIVAL DA CANCAO

Portugal's 60th Festival da Canção came to an end tonight and the winner is Bandidos do Cante.  Portugal's national selection for Eurovision song contest 2026 has been quite critical to the participation with most artists and/or songwriters declaring they won't go to Vienna should they win. In the end there are apparently only two artists who have declared they will go to Vienna, and one uncertain if they win. Let's see who eventually will go to Eurovision in the end.... Apparently Bandidos do Cante is one of those who have said yes. Read more here .  Bandidos de Cante was formed almost by accident by childhood friends singing Alentejo folk songs at dinner parties and such. The quintet is composed of Miguel Costa, Duarte Farias, Francisco Raposo, Luís Aleixo and Francisco Pestana, all natives of the municipality of Beja, except for Francisco Pestana, who is from Monte Trigo.
