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.

Tout le monde chant contre le cancer , amega charity event for cancer gathers together 50 artists, two nights each with 3 hours of entertainment takes place in France next month. Among artists several Eurovision veterans like Amandine Bourgeouis, Amaury Vassili, Patrick Fiori and Michele Torr . And there are several names this blogger would love to see on Eurovision stage sometime soon, like M Pokora - presenting his megasuccesful Robin Hood project -, Emmanuel Moire and Florent Mothe . Just to name a few. You can follow the event news here .

Jean-Jacques Goldman is one of this blogger's favorite French artists and the man who did adult Céline Dion in French, so to speak. He hasn't released solo material since 2001 but his music lives on, most recently in France where a tribute album has been released and become the hit of the season, Génération Goldman featuring some big names of the music industry of younger generation, including M Pokora, Shy'm, Emmanuel Moire, Christophe Willem, Amaury Vassili, ZAZ and Baptiste Giabiconi, the world's highest paid male model and Karl Lagerfeld's muse turned into pop singer. It's like a Christmas came early present! Fantastic! What a nice trip back to past and my musical history of the 1980's and 1990's! The covers are nicely kept pretty close to the originals, just with a new voices and maybe slightly updated sounds. For me this is the music event of the year! Here below you can compare the versions and enjoy some great music if you don't his work ...
