ITALY: HERE ARE THE 26 BIG FOR SANREMO 2021

ITALY: HERE ARE THE 26 BIG FOR SANREMO 2021 - AND EUROVISION

Last night during the Sanremo Giovani final the main category's artists and their song titles were announced by the artists themselves who were all but one (Orietta Berti) present in the the venue Casinò di Sanremo. Among them two previous Eurovision entrants (Ermal Meta and Francesca Michielin), three previous winners (Ermal Meta, Arisa and Francesco Renga) and a total of 14 debutants - that must be a modern times record! On the other hand Orietta Berti is in Sanremo for the 12th time, even if it's been long 29 years since her last time! Fan favorite Annalisa is on her 5th festival, Renga on his 7th. Last year's scandalous Bugo returns solo this time on his 2nd festival, while Ermal Meta is on his 5th and third among Big but he has written countless entries for other artists before concentrating on his solo career. Fasma moves from last year's Newcomers among Big thanks to his success over the last year (unlike the eventual winner leo Gassmann), Ghemon returns for the second time after debuting in 2019. Irama returns for the third time and second among Big. The 2018 runner up and fan favorite Lo Stato Sociale makes a comeback and Malika Ayane is back for the 5th time after collecting critic's awards in previous times. She participated last in 2015. Max Gazze is on his 6th festival but not solo this time. Noemi returns after a break for her 6th festival as well. Arisa, forever hoping to do Eurovision is in her 7th festival already and has won the both categories and been also the rnnner up among Big once.

The songs will be first heard during their first live performance in Teatro Ariston from March 2, 2021.

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..... )

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?

Nina Badrić for Croatia

Croatian TV went for internal selection in the end and chose Nina Badrić. She has been around for almost 20 years and has released ten albums between 1995 and 2011. She has also treid to get to Eurovision four times already without a win (1993, 1994, 1995 and 2003). She is popular also in the other ex-Yogoslavian countries so let those 12s run in.... Listen her here: Moje oci pune ljubavi , Dat ce nam Bog , Nebo and Mama . And lovely Carobno jutro .

CZECH REPUBLIC: MARTINA BÁRTA PRESENTS MY TURN

Czech Republic's internally chosen Martina Bárta has released her entry My turn for the Eurovision as well today. Not sure if I managed to keep my attention level very high for very long when listening to it.... Shame.

CONCHITA WURST RELEASES YOU ARE UNSTOPPABLE VIDEO

Just awhile before her debut album simply titled Conchita will be released Conchita Wurst has released a video to her latest single You are unstoppable . And yes, she does Loreen or goes topless. Beautifully shot in black and white the video once again provides some beautiful imaginary and shots. And she's off to Australia for promotion soon.....

#ESC 2014 RUMOUR: SERGEY LAZAREV FOR RUSSIA?

Russia remains the country with very little news about their participation. A national final was scheduled originally for the new year's 2013 but then cancelled. Some have made themselves available like the Buranovskye Babushki but now another rumor has emerged: Sergey Lazarev. More credible this one. The eternal competitor with Dima Bilan for the most popular male artist in the country has tried to get to Eurovision in the past ( Flyer in 2008, when he lost to.... Bilan, as well as a member of a boyband some moons ago before that). He's also a popular TV-presenter and household name in Russia. Just like Bilan he has also tried an international career, that is yet to explode outside the ex-USSR countries. Here he makes fun of Bilan, with Bilan himself. Lazarev's songs include Cure the thunder , В САМОЕ СЕРДЦЕ , СЛЕЗЫ В МОЕМ СЕРДЦЕ , Unreal love , Vspomonai .... This blogger has been waiting for this happen for a few years now, so hopefully it's true. At least ...

Boobs for summer: Samantha vs Sabrina!

The old rivals have put their bras (or the lack of them) in peace and entered the studios together to record Blondie's boombastic Call me . Life could be worse.....

DANNY SAUCEDO: I WOULD HAVE WON, TOO

Danny Saucedo, who lost to Eric Saade last year with In the club , and to Loreen with Amazing this year caused a stir the night Melodifestivalen 2012 final was held by leaving the arena and not showing up at the after party giving statements like "I would have done better. Loreen will not work in Europe" and similar in the same line. After Loreen won his Facebook and Twitter was flooded by nasty comments that he had to answer something like "C'mon people give me a break! I'm happy for her win!" One would have thought that was it but no. Danny boy is at it again in Aftonbladet: "No one could have done better now that Loreen has won. But I'm still convinced I would have won, too. I think any Swedish entry would have won this year. It was Sweden's turn. But I'm happy for Loreen. And very sad for those comments and threats online." Next month both Loreen and Danny will be singing to crown princess Victoria's birthday party so let...

El Retorno: Marco Banderas - The porn life

XXX-porn star Marco Banderas seems to be fan of Eurovision, as he is aiming for Moscow 2009. His The porn life is at #385 in the voting right now. He's doing much better in his hardcore porn star career than as a singer: he's been nominated to 8 AVN (Adult Video News) Awards, including Male performer of the year. http://www.rtve.es/television/eurovision2009/candidatos/marco-banderas.shtml (oh and no, it's not one of my favourites. It's here purely to spice up your new year's a little ;-) )
