Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

A full week of rehearsals saw the conclusion of the second rehearsals of the semi-finalists. RUSSIA - JULIA SAMOYLOVA - I WON'T BREAK My castle in the sand Is now made of stone and rock Vocals * Staging * Song ** Overall * Hopefully non qualifier MOLDOVA - DOREDOS - MY LUCKY DAY I walk into temptation Something tells me we can make some music Vocals *** Staging *** Song *** Overall **** Qualifier THE NETHERLANDS - WAYLON - OUTLAW IN 'EM Its a fine, fine line Between whiskey and water into wine Vocals **** Staging ** Song **** Overall *** Hopefully qualifier AUSTRALIA - JESSICA MAUBOY - WE GOT LOVE At the end of the day We’ve only got ourselves to blame Vocals ** Staging * Song *** Overall ** Likely qualifier (sadly)

Moldova - DoReDos - My lucky day The three DoReDos are doubled by three dancers in a performance we already know and have reworked it greatly into a box. Funny and clever, and after last year's Moldovan surprise finish we might be better prepaired for this one finishing on the left side of the scoreboard after all. Songwise it doesn't deserve it but as a performance yes. The press center was apparently really captured by this one as will be the televoters forgetting about the song.... "Playful" , #Brilliant", "Incredibly entertaining", "Hilarious", "Cheeky", "Creative" The Netherlands - Waylon - Outlaw in 'em Waylon is full of rock credibilty in his leopard jacket on top of his podium and has musicians that turn into dancers by his side as an unexpected surprise. He delivers vocally as one can only expect from someone who just today let the world know there's a new outlaw coming to the world and...

  San Marino - Jessika feat. Jenifer Brening - Who we are Jessika Muscat (29) has the faith of fellow Maltese Christabelle: several national final attemps and now she gets finally to Eurovision with the worst of them. Or almost. She is joined by German Jenifer Brening (21) who took the original rapper Irol's place when he turned down the song stating it's not his cup of tea. He would have given this at least some Sammarinese touch. Anyways, the innotative Sammarinese national final selection promised a lot but in the end gave us this. I would have chosen differently but what we have is a rather anonymous and heard before anthem against bullying, well sung by Jessika with Jenifer's rap as bonus. Sadly unforgettable and the only thing that might get attention and viewers to remember this are the robots. If they travel to Lisbon, too. What's their deal anyways?! 3/10 Macedonia - Eye Cue - Lost and found Eye Cue is Bojan Trajkovski and Marija Ivanovska...

These are the lucky days of Eurovision fans as the videos and new versions drop like rain when the delegations are meeting in Lisbon and presenting their entries. Today we also have Moldova's entry, My lucky day by DoReDos in its video form. Enjoy!

  No surprise here. DoReDos have won with the help of Kirkorov and will sing My lucky day for Moldova in the Eurovision song contest 2018 in Lisbon. DoReDos – My lucky day ( jury 12 + televote12) 24 Vera Țurcanu – Black Heart (10 + 5) 15 Doinița Gherman and One Voice  - Dance in flames (7 + 6) 13 Tolik – Broken Glass (3 + 10) 13 Ana Odobescu – Agony (8 + 3) 11 SandyC & Aaron Sibley – Once upon a time (5 + 4) 9 Nicoleta Sava – La Esencia del Sur (0 + 8) 8 Felicica Dunaf – Alien (6 + 1) 7 Cobîlean Constantin – Numai tu (0 + 7) 7 Lavina Rusu – Altundeva (4 + 2) 6 Anna Timofei – Endlessly (2 + 0) 2 Ilia Soroceanu & Dasha DaGro – Minds & Veins (1 + 0) 1 Bella Luna – Moments (0 + 0) 0 Ruslan Tsar – Come to Life (0 + 0) 0 Viorela – The Gates of Love (0 + 0) 0 Che MD – Inima-n stângă (0 + 0) 0

Moldova had live auditions to all the eligible 27 (of 31 submissions) and after hearing what they had in offer (likes of Sasha Bognibov, ehm)  dropped the semifinal and chose 16 for the final directly. Some names are at it again: Doinita, Che MD, DoReDos, Felicia.... Apparently it's all settled for DoReDos to win with their Kirkorov penned nonsense anyways. But could it be Doinita's time finally with her latin number penned by those ever trying Persson sisters? If we want an entry in language then it'd be Nicoleta Sava.  Anna Odobescu – Agony Anna Timofei – Endlessly Bella Luna – Moments Che MD – Inima-n stanga  Cobilean Constantin – Numai Tu  Doinita Gherman – Dance In Flames DoReDos – My Lucky Day Felicia Dunaf – Alien Ilia Soroceanu & Dasha DaGro – Minds & Veins Lavinia Rusu – Altundeva  Nicoleta Sava – Esencia Del Sur  Ruslan Tsar – Come To Life Sandy C & Aaron Sibley – Once Upon A Time Tolik – Broken Glass ...
