ESC 2017 KYIV - DAY 6: ROMANIA SECOND REHEARSAL

Romania is a total contrast to Malta before it. Toysoldiers playing the drums in the intro and then the cartoon colorful explotion just continues. Kolibris and cannoon shooting more color. This youthful and a lot of crazy. I don't have much to comment as I just watch the show and be entertained.
This should also qualify with cannons blasting and in the final? Who knows?

SONGS OF THE YEAR 2015: #5 KRISTA SIEGFRIDS - ON & OFF

Krista Siegfrids is delivering nice pop tunes one after another and this one is particularly catchy and soon you will be singing along..... Hopefully her Melodifestivalen entry will be equally good!

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..... )

GREECE: HELENA PAPARIZOU HITS AGAIN WITH HAIDE

Eurovision song contest 2005 winner Helena Paparizou has been enjoying Top-5 hits every year since 2003 with the exception of 2010 and 2014, this latest one being already her 27th! And Haide is charting also in Bulgaria and Finland, of all places. The catchiness of her hits has changed less over the years than her face....  Here's the English version , below the Greek version. 

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?

EUROVISION 2025 SERBIA: PRINC WINS PESMA ZA EVROVIZIJU'25

Serbia's Pesma za Evroviziju'25 came to an end tonight and went on apparently smoothly despite al the hassle around it, and Serbia's anti-corruption and student protests. Read more at the bottom of the page. Princ took home the victory with Mila after the voting were televotes and jury votes went all over the place. But I am pleased, Mila was one of my favorites even if I'm not fully convinced of its structure but it has its moments and sticks to your head. Good to have a rreal balcan ballad with melody among all the other entries we will have in Basel! Princ aka Stefan Zdravković (31) was already runner up in 2023 with Cvet za Istoka is also Serbian karate champion and a philologist by profession, graduated from the Department of Scandinavian Languages, Literature and Culture, Norwegian Language, at the Faculty of Philology, University of Belgrade.

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...

EUROVISION 2025 SERBIA: PESMA ZA EVROVIZIJU 2025 Песма за Евровизију - LISTEN TO THE ENTRIES

Serbia's national final Pesma za Evroviziju returns in 2025 and goes on as usual: 30 songs in two semi-finals of 15 while eight from each will reach the grand final. The dates are February 25 and 26, and grand final on February 28, 2025. Two disqualifications after making the list public this year.... I did my usual first time listening ranking and sadly even Serbia kinda lets me down this year - nothing to get really exited about. Oh how I remember 2007 selection for example, so many goodies but when I heard Molitva I said to myself if this wins in Serbia it will win it all. And it did. Rightly so. Fantastic song. But since then music has changed overall all over the place: less melodies, emotion, heartfelt work instead of cold hard songwriting camp nonsense with fancy beats and sounds rather than real melodies. Or maybe I'm just old, I don't know.  Semi-final One - February 25, 2025 Bojana x David – Šesto čulo   ***  FINALIST Igor Simić – Ne mogu  ** Vampiri – Te...
