Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Since Carlo Conti announced the doors are open for foreign artists in Sanremo as well, not as guests as usual but also as competitors in the Big category fans have been wondering. Amii Stewart's name popped up immediately as she's wellknown and working and living in Italy these days. But it didn't just feel quite right after all. Now, the past few days th pieces seem to be falling a place and it all comes up to Lara Fabian. The worldfamous anti-Celine Dion even has a connection to Italy as her mother comes from Sicily and she spent the first five years of her live in Catania. Then they moved to Belgium, where her father comes from. In 1988 at the age of 18 she represented Luxembourg in the Eurovsion with Croire and finished 4th in the contest won by beforementioned Celine Dion. This blogger loved her and didn't care much for Dion back then but over the years I have taken a liking to Dion while Fabian has stayed a bit indifferent... Fabian took revenge in Dion's ...

Pitkästä aikaa ( After a long time ) is the very fitting name for the new Virve "Vicky" Rosti album, her first solo effort since 2007 to be released on September 19, 2014.

But that doesn't mean she hasn't been around lately as she's been doing some reality entertainment on TV (where she even got to experiment singing in italian some opera ) and apparently she's on the road all the time alone or with her nostalgy band project Menneisyyden vangit .

Five hit albums followed with hits like Tuolta saapuu Charlie Brown , Näinkö meille täällä aina käy and Oon voimissain . She's also known for several other well done covers like Jolene and Rahaa, rahaa, rahaa , Sorry jos oon lady , Koputa puuta , Menolippu ,....  Come 1980's and the cov...

There are always Eurovision wannabes in search of some self promotion in the low season and this summer 1980's discogirl Sinitta has thought it's as good a way to promote her apparent return to music scene since nearly 20 years shouting "I want to do it!"  We can mix it with her early career that does include a participation in the UK selection of 1984 with Imagination (4th), and her ex Simon Cowell who has declared he could fix it for the UK. And Sinitta was his very first hit artist! Could they join forces again and recreate the magic for the good cause? Sinitta made it big in mid 1980's with hits like So macho , Toy boy and Cross my broken heart . Now she's about to make a come back in London pride with a cover of her mother Miquel Brown's hit So many men, so little time . (Another well known singer Amii Stewart is her aunt) In the 1990's and 2000's she's been more known for her personal life and reality tv, affair with Simon Cowell ...
