Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Liberato is Italian artist who's Tu t'e scurdat'e me is a mix of sounds and languages; Napoletan with some hook in English just to confuse you. It's hypnotic and addictive, and the video makes me miss Naples so much..... Željko Joksimović has a new hit for the summer, Milimetar, an uptempo number with a retro beat. After initial meh it sticks to your head after a couple of hearings..... There must be a zillion Depascito covers all over the world already of the most streamed song ever. Estonian showband The Swingers have done a swing one and it's very groovy one. They don't know a word of Spanish but do a decent job with it and the singers are none other than Birgit Õigemeel and Tanja :-) Kenan Doğulu is back this summer with İlk Adımı Sen At , that has a nice arrangement and lazy nostalgic summer afternoon beat. And clearly Cornetto as sponsor :-)

Željko Joksimović is rumoured to have his eye on Montenegro 2009. If he wrote the song, it would be his fourth Eurovision country and entry in six years: In 2004 he wrote and performed the Serbia-Montenegro's entry Lane moje that came 2nd. In 2006 he wrote the song Lejla for Bosnia-Herzegovina, that was performed by Hari Mata Hari and came 3rd. In 2008 he took revenge with Jelena Tomašević in Serbia when Oro won and represanted the country at home arena in Belgrade scoring 6th place. (Back in 2005 the same team failed to win the Serbia-Montenegrin controversial final with Jutro when most Montenegrin members of the jury favoured their own entry.) Željko also hosted the 2008 Eurovision song contest in Belgrad.
