Blogilkar exclusive: ROMAN LOB INTERVIEW


Here it comes, the interview number 20 from my flying reporter Robert who I wish to thank here publicly and I hope we can do this again! :-) But to the business. German hope Roman Lob had a chat with him, too and they talked his music taste, holiday plans and how does it feel to be a sex symbol? Read it here:
Who is Roman Lob besides the singer we know? Hobbies, interests..?
Who is Roman Lob? Me and myself and I! My greatest hobby is singing but I like also extreme sports, snowboarding, biking and... that's all I guess.
Did you concidered stydying after high school or was it clear that you would go for the music business right away?
No, I have done studies, industrial mechanic. But I have been singing since I was 13 and it's cool, I like it a lot.
What kind of music do you listen to yourself?
I like heavy metal music, hardcore, deathcore... but I like also pop, rock'n roll, electro.... bands like Kiss, AC/DC, Metallica....
So we can maybe expect different kind of music from you in the future?
Yes, of course! My debut album is called Changes and there are different elements in the songs; up tempo, ballads, acoustic songs...
How do you deal with your instant fame in Germany? You're very popular at the moment.
Yeah, it's great! I like it, people in Germany are very chilled, relaxed.... I like it.
Was it your dream to become a star?
Of course! It's great, I like it! It's awesome :-) And it's great here, the stage is huge, the sound is good, it's great!
How was your album received in Germany?
It was #1 in iTunes as well as the single Standing still. And the critics was good... and not so good, but it's ok!
Are you planning an international career or will you focus on the German speaking market?
International would be great, it certainly is an option and Eurovision can surely help in that.
Will work more with Jamie Cullum who co-write your song?
Why not? I will ask and if Jamie is up for it we're gonna do it.
How do you like to be a sort of sex symbol? Many girls and a lot of guys, too, like you a lot!
Sex symbol??!! :-o Oh yeah, hmm... I like it! It's cool! Yeah!
Is there someone special in your life right now?
…. (long silence)... No.
And what are your plans for summer?
I will play some festivals, make music, write new songs, release another single.... and some holidays, too, by the sea of course!
Now that you have become a part of this Eurovision tradition, do you have any favourite among the previous German entries?
The first one I saw was 1998, Guildo Horn. I was 8. I liked it. He's so crazy. And Stefan Raab as well.
Thank you Roman for this interview and best of luck on Saturday!

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?

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..... )

CAROLA'S BOOBS STEAL THE SHOW, SVT APOLOGIES

Update! Another thing got Swedes talking last night: Carola's boobs when she was giving away an award. This is not the first time her boombs cause headlines; her misfortunate adventures in the 80's in Japan wer explained with her boobs being too big for Japanese market. Ok.... Or was it the song ? Anyways, Carola apologies and says she thinks the dress is stylish and elegant (even her friends said so) and she's a mature woman in her 40s, not a 16-year-old girl and looks like one. The Swedish Oscars, Guldbagge awards were given out last night. Carola was there as a guest star to sing Barbra Streisand's The way we were when honoring the movie stars who passed away during 2012. However, the cameras were too much on Carola, not on the stars showed in photos in the background and that upset many viewers as that part of the show was to celebrate them, not Carola. Oh well...  The producer of the show tells in Aftonbladet the part of the show was made the sam...

TIM SCHOU AND HIS NAKED GRAVITY

Tim Schou has a pretty good solo career going since he left his friends in London. He's travelling the world and relesing songs and videos. The latest one is a great track and comes with a steamy video that kinda takes away from the song really. But who's complaining. If you got it, flaunt it. Enjoy the video below. This post coming after the other Dane, Rasmus Seebach as wishlist for Eurovision. To think about it, Tim would do nicely, too. Maybe he should give it another go?
