FINLAND: KRISTA AND LORDI IN THE EUROVISION EPISODE OF TÄHDET, TÄHDET

Finnish variety show Tähdet, tähdet, hosted by Eurovision 2007 host Mikko Leppilampi, where artists compete every week performing a different genre this season also Eurovision got its night. In tonight's episode the remaining artists sung their hearts out with Eurovision songs, choreographies, glitter and wind machines. Sadly only five artists are left in the show, so we only got to enjoy only five songs. Eurovision wannabes Mikael Saari and Tomi Metsäketo have already been voted out in the previous weeks.... (Next week will be country, last week was Finnish singer-songwriters for example)
Krista Siegfrids was the expert jury member and also opened the show with an Eurovision medley with the respective choreographies doing an amazing job with My number one, Wild dances, Dancing Lasha tumbai, Marry me and Pump pump.
Lordi was the guest star of the show proving once again despite all, they like to pop into the Bubble time to time again. They did Hard rock hallelujah, of course.
Krista also told where she was when Lordi won: "I was hosting a party at home in Vaasa, as always. When the voting started we were so loud the neighbours called police. Soon enough there were two cops at the door telling us to end the party and be quiet. I was like "FINLAND IS WINNING EUROVISION!. Come in!!!" and they: "Really? Oh, party on!" and they came in and sat on the sofa to watch the end of the show with us!

Erika Vikman - Eläköön elämä
The pop tango singer did justice but this was maybe closest to her own genre of all these genres. 
No one beats Sonja Lumme though. Horrible styling, too
Jannika B - Diggi-loo diggi-ley
Jannika looked like Carola doing Herrey's, in Swedish. Nice enough
Andrè Linman - Bye bye baby
CatCat was wildly applauding for him in the audience. The heavyrocker jumped totally into the Eurovision bubble and delivered a fun performance.
Erja Lyytinen - Molitva
Erja delivered once again. Amazing performance despite being ill, singing the chorus in Serbian and giving goosebumps all the way.
Elias Kaskinen - Euphoria
Conan the Barbarian with glitter doing male version of Loreen's dance. So kitch it was already fabulously weird and superb! Despite missing most of the notes.

In the end televoters kicked Erika - Jannika being second to last - out and Erja won this episode. Well done televoters! 
And meanwhile Mr Lordi did what he has done ever since I have seen him in tv, that is for over ten years: licking people's ears. Only this time social media erupted with #metoo proving all this #metoo affair is becoming ridiculous..... (No offence for those real #metoo cases)

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

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?
