Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Helsinki and Finland will get its own museum celebrating Finnish music, a multimedia affair inspired by Stockholm's ABBA Museum among others. It will also include the Finnish Music Hall of Fame and the first ten names included have been revealed. The only living one among the legends is none other than the blue & white voice Katri Helena (73). Her career spans already six decades and she has released over 50 albums, recorded nearly 500 songs and sold over 1,5 million albums. On top of that several international festivals including Eurovision song contest. Twice.  The museum will be opening in fall 2019 in Helsinki's Pasila district's new Tripla complex. The other Fame names included are classical composer Jean Sibelius , opera singer and creator of Savonlinna opera festival in Olavinlinna castle  Aino Ackté , dance orchestra Dallapé (still existing, since 1925!), singer, musician and composer Georg Malmsten , king of tango Olavi Virta , folk virtuoso Konsta J...

I'm old enough to remember the original Fame and here it comes again, nearly 30 years after. Here is the original musicvideo for Fame title song sung by Irene Cara and the new one sung by Naturi Naughton. The original film from 1980 was later followed by TV-series ( Madonna auditioned amongst others but was not taken). Nothing to do with Eurovision but good memories. Sweet memories. Fond memories.... I can do anything better than you can , Life is a celebration ,  I still believe in me ,  It's gonna be a, long night ,  Be my music and Starmaker And yes, even Carola did Fame and Flashdance in her first tour in 1983! (And yes, I did see her live!). Even The Toppers did it (and no, I wasn't there...)
