Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Vienna city hall hosted the allocation draw (you can rewatch it here ) and now we know who's where and which part. The final running order will be decided later on.  Also the Big5 and Austria were drawn into semifinals they will broadcast and vote in. Except Germany that had asked and granted to do so in semifinal two. We also got to know Herr Niedermeyer from Digame, aka The Cheeky Frozen man.....

Eurovision song contest 2014 winner Conchita Wurst was quick to autocandidate to host the next year's contest in Austria and indeed would propably give it quite a boost and some needed glamour and elegance. She wouldn't be the first Eurovision winner in the job; there have been already Marie N, Toto Cutugno and Eldar Gasimov doing the honors the next year. With variable success...... Now Andi Knoll has put himself on the game, too. He looks on paper like a very valid and obvious option. He has been commenting Eurovision for ORF from 1999 and hosting the national selections since 2002. With Conchita they would make a handsome couple for sure, but unfortunately more often those who autocandidate themselves are not selected..... Here's a flashback interview with Andi from Dusseldorf.
