Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Ruth Lorenzo was doing promotion in Gran Canaria performing at Maspalomas Winter Pride when she was the headliner of Saturday night's show at Yumbo center's main stage. Clearly she was the most anticipated guest as there were some screaming teenagers and a lot of Eurovision fans who knew her from all over Europe present.  The day after she did a meet & greet signing copies of her new album.  She opened her act with her latest single 99 (she told it has just this week entered the Spanish charts at #3), Proud Mary , Gigantes and finally Dancing in the rain that you can see below in my somewhat crappy video shot with a cellphone and 7% battery left.... ;-p

Well, he popped up in a Finnish reality show where tourist are being extra stupid in Canary islands. He was showing them around Teror and its Sunday market (this blogger all of sudden wants to go there next time as I have skipped it like 5 times as utter waste of time...) and gets to explain what "coño" means ("coño is the woman thing") and calling one of the ladies a cow while getting lost in the woods....  That's what Ramón is up to these days. Watch yourself here (in Finnish only. Beware a limitless stupidity. By Finns, not Ramón) You may rather want to see this: Para llenarme de ti and the same live in Eurovision 2004

While I was away all sort of Eurovision related things have happened. FYR Macedonia has announced Kaliopi as their entrant; Jedward goes wow in their new video and visit Santa Claus in Lapland, Finland; Melodifestivalen artists were partly announced and didn't we already know all of them? Iceland, Germany, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Malta and Iceland announce further details on their selections and the funny rumour of Rome hosting the Eurovision 2012 instead of Baku circulated... and more. Like the rumour of Monaco's possible return. While I was sunbathing (well, some cloudier times there were, too, but that was good enough excuse to go hiking in a vulcano or go shopping in Las Palmas) or sipping caipirinhas at Zaza' s or Wunderbar - who by the way have on Monday night's Eurovision special - or enjoying some Ricky's Cabaret .... But more of all these news and more a bit later.... Let me get over this shocky darkness, rain and cold first.... Waar is de zon?
