Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

For the 4th of July let's have some American music, like country music's rising star Steve Grand . Country with a twist like his All-American boy . Very Abercrombie & Fitch-esque video with a story and a great track, too. You can also download the track here . Hungarian ByeAlex is back with a new video Nekemte . And he has always Daniel by his side. Interesting stuff once again. French Florent Mothe has an excellent song out, Les blessures qui ne se voient pas with a very nice video, too. Why doesn't France send something like this to Eurovisionn for a change? Last but not least Jutty Ranx , a Finnish-American combo that has scored a platinum selling  #3 hit in Italy (among others) with their I see you . Band's Jaakko Manninen is also known from Beats & Styles and Euroviisut 2007.

Beats and Styles didn't make it in Euroviisut 2007 but their entry Take it back has gone a long way charting here and there (Italy, Germany, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, France...) and now 1,5 years later it's climbing up the Russian charts (from 47 to 35 this week) leaving behind Kate Ryan, Julia Savicheva, Ani Lorak, Serebro and Dima Bilan's Believe just to name a few. Beats and Styles seems to be more popular abroad than at home these days and keeps delivering minor international hits with various collaborations. Take it back has also been rearranged and added with Papa Dee in vocals. At the moment they are touring Poland. Watch the video shot in Italy here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQOT8-iEfDA Check out their rather groovy new video You got the light as well here: ht tp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkI12poR0qg&feature=related but beware; it's a real earworm....

While researching the previous post I came across this one... Don't know why and when it was made and what for? Anyways, an Euroviisut double act! Watch out Justin Timberlakes of this world! :-) Have a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgEJCNvNp50
