EUROVISION 2019: THE FINAL RESULTS CHANGE!

Oh my, from a series You got one job. After Belarus jury was sacked when they leaked who voted and how in the semi-final someone messed the votes of aggregated votes EBU generated to replace the jury (the same way San Marino's televotes are being generated). Or in short: the votes were given backwards or the last one (in this case Israel) got 12 points, second to last 10 and so on.... And indeed, I remember wondering and laughing out for those votes in the live broadcast as they were simply rather insane and akward.

Now the votes have been corrected and even if there is no change in the top-4 after that it gets messy, and even The Netherlands lead to Italy is now only 26 points. The jury winner was North Macedonia instead of Sweden, but in combined results Sweden passes the televoting winner Norway and they change places; Sweden 5th and Norway 6th. Also North Macedonia climbs one spot passing Azerbaijan to 7th as they switch places. San Marino also climbs one place to 19th switching place with Estonia. Cyprus and Malta both move up two places while Slovenia and France drop two places. Albania and Serbia switch places, as do Belarus and Germany that is now second to last.

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 2015: POLINA GAGARINA THEN AND NOW

28-year-old Polina started her career in a tv-talent show (just like Måns and Il Volo). After winning it she though joined a girlband before going solo. She managed to release her debut album before marrying and having a child and gaining 20 kilos (to those extra 20 kilos she claims she had back then). The marriage failed, she started her career again, released another album, lost her 40 kilos, dyed her hair blond and had a string of hits and even had time to remarry and show off her new naked body in a men's magazine before she heard a million voices. Now that's a trasformation!

Proudly Italian Gianluca Ginoble.... ... and proudly something else in this one?

EUROVISION 2018 DAY 2: FIRST REHEARSAL FOR MACEDONIA, CROATIA, AUSTRIA

The rest of the semi-final one acts rehearse today for the first time, including Finland. Macedonia - Eye Cue - Lost and found Macedonia takes lead from their music video and they have a drummer and three backing singers on stage, while Marija interacts with all them with or without Bojan. Fucsia minidress for her. Another close up start apparently, and another let's walk to the stairs for the finale. Judging the comments it seems they did it all right and vocally fine. Looking good for them then. Maybe. This song is musically such a mess one needs time to digest it and an average televoter doesn't have it. But isn't that dress a bit too short....? "Sultry", "Cool beats", "Great chemistry", "Unfinished", "Not instant" Croatia - Franka - Crazy Another close up start? Franka is wearing a black lace dress looking like a real diva taking a full advantage of wind machines. smoke and did we see a tear? This ...
