Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

  I remember being very angry when they won Eurovision and even if I have learned to get amused by Making your mind up by now, it's not exactly among my Eurovision winners favorites. But after that they started belting out hits and I liked them. A sort of poor man's ABBA like. All through 80's and even now, after their comeback in the late 2010's... When we were young is still something extraordinary! check out also:

She has been touring and doing this and that, but this seems to be her real debut.  Her previous singles are Burn and The Night . Robert : It took me a while to enjoy Dancing in the rain .
