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.

We know Finnish and Hungarian are related as languages, and maybe there's something deeper bonding us even after thousends of years after our ancestors went separete ways. Something more concrete is in the Hungarian entry, Kedvesem performed by ByeAlex. The guitarist, Daniel Kövago (22) lived in Finland before! His father is a diplomat and they lived in places like Kenya, Ethiopia and Finland where they moved when he was 8-12 years old. He went to a Swedish school though and he's the one behind the Swedish lyrics in the entry's last verse as well. Or is he? In YLE's Eurovision marathon Hungary sneaked its way to viewer's top-10 so votes from Finland are expected to Hungary once again! And very deserved ones, I might add!
