Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Eurovision 1979 moved to Jerusalem and for some reason I remember the theme music and opening so well. I remember loving the then high tech stage figure rotating in the background and also the palmstrees etc in the hosts corner. The postcards were very fynny back then, now not so much. One can spot Fredi (who also composed the Finnish entry) saluting in the audience after Italy who were the first to perform without any orchestra backing. The artists names appeared on screen besides the song titles! I remember most of the songs so well, and those picked here below are the top ones but I can't forget Portugal, Italy, Monaco, Switzerland.... France, Belgium, Netherlands.... A good year for sure! Watching again now the Spanish kids seem a bit weird but back then they were cool. And oh my, there was someone on stage for the first time who didn't sing at all! No microphone! Of course the Dschingis Khan himself! I was totally in love with them and I was so pissed Israel won again...

Theocharis Ioannides is only one of the names rumoured to be in negotiations with ERT. With the difference he has apparently said so himself. On the other hand his manager is the same one that made Sakis Rouvas and Kostas Martakis so it would be more than unlikely that he would push Theocharis into Eurovision at some point, despite the fact he is an actor....  He was even born in Dusseldorf and what he lacks in voice he has always make up in looks like the other, too, as well, if that's your cup of tea.  He is also backed by Eurovision veteran Elpida . You can see him in action here and here . Let's wait and see!
