FINLAND: #UMK17 REVIEW - CLUB LA PERSÉ - MY LITTLE WORLD

43/120
Founded in Punavuori district of Helsinki in 2005 as an antidote to expensive clubs and boring party dressing. La Persé is Helsinki’s most exciting night. An unpretentious underground experience about music, art and self-expression. Infamous for its colourful party-goers, club kids and fashion trannies - from students to porn stars, a wide cross section of ages, colors & sexes attend each month. Everyone is welcome, dressing up is essential. Anything from evening wear to an electric fence.

If Club La Persé is your favorite, please give them a vote in my poll or here 

La Persé boys and the very miss Ellen Vivan are back after nearly seven years. Braver, bolder, brasher, thinner and OLDER. The big characters and even bigger wigs are back at the heart of the capital’s decadent nightlife scene – expect tits, tantrums and tequila shots. And now, besides taking over the nightscene they are taking over the #UMK17 stage... 
They are:
Jean Michelle -  A celebrated DJ, an unconventional role-model, a designer/artist working in Helsinki. Additionally Jean de Jean (dark side of the moon) gender illusionist Michelle has designed music for fashion shows, created stunning graphic design and illustrations for fellow artists, dj's and various club nights.
Miss Anti-Socialite Lili Butterfly Effective 2.0  - A character and inspiration - fashion's nutty boy. The inimitable fashion illustrator and a part-time drag queen.
Mr Cunt -  An airhead electroclash cunt who adore world's more eccentric side.
Ellen Vivan - She is one of the most adored, immaculately turned-out and intriguing characters of the Helsinki night-time.
And what did our international* jury think about this? Quite mixed reviews but only of two kind; either 1-2 points, or 5-6 points. Nothing else. A total of 43/120.  "Very trashy, some euroboys might like this" said Valentina, "Fun, surely comes with a massive show on stage but the song sucks" said Jack. "Kinda funny" by Robert. This blogger thinks #UMK17 could have done without this gimmick - just like Oscar's - and try to include proper songs with real intentions to do well. This must have been an awesome idea on paper but it needed a killer song to be taken seriously and this diddydiddy isn't that, despite famous production. On the other hand it recalls late Peter Burns of Dead or Alive, but then again who does remember him? And how that reflects to Eurovision audience, as that's what we are looking here to please in the end.

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?

MALTA: THE QUEEN OF L-GHANJA TAL-POPLU - CORAZÓN MIZZI!

If The Travellers have proven recently one can do great singing in Maltese there's also someone else doing great stuff: Corazón Mizzi. While in Malta I was looking for some Maltese CDs only to find out they pretty much don't exist, and the most helpful staff in legendary D'Amato - probably the world's oldest record store today - suggested me Corazón's Hawn jien (2014 album). Having nothing else really to bring home I decided to go or it without even realizing it is the Corazón from Maltese Eurovision selections. And what a find it was! Thank you D'Amato! But let's start from the obvious: Eurovision. Corazón has been offering us songs in the Maltese Eurovision selection since 2009, actually making her best result this year with Falling glass , one of my favorites btw. I also liked last year's Secretly but that failed even the final. But Corazón's true calling is singer-songwriter in Maltese as this excellent album clearly shows. We have al

EUROVISION 2024.... COMING UP!

 

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 TWEETS REVEAL DETAILS....

Brandwatch, one the world's leading providers of analytics of social medias has summed up the Twitter buzz during the Eurovision 2013 final on May 18, 2013. Over 1,8 million tweets have been analyzed and it's rather fascinating stuff. On top you can see the figure showing topics. Romania and Ireland got the tweeting go wild as did Greece, Belarus, Malta and Armenia. And you can see political tweets took over during the voting..... The figure above is for the emotions. Once again Romania and Greece got it going wild. A lot of love and joy was spread all over during the show while hate & anger increased during the voting. Is someone surprised? But have a look and analize yourself here . And here you can access to country by country details. Did Ukraine's giant get people's attention? or Moldova's outfit? Did Ireland have sex factor? Or Azerbaijan? And what about Belgium's dance routine?

GREECE: HELENA PAPARIZOU HITS AGAIN WITH HAIDE

Regina Lund - naked and censored

Regina Lund's new video Jag är osynlig was censored by Youtube only minutes after it had been uploaded. In the video she was playing a female Jesus who gets crusified in the end. "I was shocked!" she says. "There's nothing more naked in it as in every church! It's ok to have naked man hanging on the wall but my nakedness is too much on internet? ". Oh well, no comment. She's prepairing a new album Dare Regina Lund and we of course remember her from her Melodifestivalen 2007 adventure with Rainbow star .
