SAN MARINO: SERHAT PRESENTS SAY NA NA NA

Serhat continues with shameless disco pop with his second Eurovision adventure for San Marino. Say na na na is even catchier than I didn't know in 2016. The video drops at midnight.

SAN MARINO: SERHAT IS BACK!

After playing with the social media (San Marino is bcoming a real master in that game!) and fans speculating wild and getting the media write about them all over Europe (even Finland) thanks to Human Ken doll Rodrigo Alves and some Russian wannabe among others they announced Turkish Serhat will come back again and represent the county in its 10th participation. Now we all can say in unison: I didn't know . The song for 2019 will be made public in February.  Between 2016 and 2019 Serhat has scored a #25 hit on Billboard Dance chart in the US with re-released of his entry featuring Martha Wash, and dueted with Eurovision winner Helena Paparizou.

Serhat caught up at Euroclub wishes you enjoy Stockholm and Eurovision!

ESC 2016 SAN MARINO: THE SECOND REHEARSAL

San Marino team is more satisfied with their second rehearsal but Serhat admits there are still some adjustment to be done in technology, choreography and camera angles and lighting and.... Hmm, let's redo it all! He's dressed in burgundy suit and already signature hat. That he throws to the audience in the end. The backing ladies are in silver. The backing has been changed too for more discotheque feeling. I can't help but think he's a television host in Italy (or Spain, france or any other Latin country for that matter) of yesteryear and sperforming the opening theme with show girls dancing around him, and later wewill see the girl nalf naked standing next to him and smiling, bringing him papers and whatever he needs to go to do his television show. 

ESC 2016 SANMARINO: SERHAT IS THIS YEAR'S BACCARA

Back in 1978 we had the first very international product in Eurovision: Spanish girls singing in French for Luxembourg a song written and produced by Germans. Baccara with Parlez vous francais? This year we have a Turkish guy singing in English for San Marino a song written by a Turk and a Greek, arranged and produced between Belgium, France and Germany. Throw in Italian for the Italian version of the song. One more thing they have in common: the sound. While Baccara was very hip and uptodate with their sound back in 1978 and so would have been Serhat in the same contest, his sound today is very retro and very much in fashion. Something those 20something Eurovision fans can't see as they weren't even born back then.... and nothing existing before 2000's if of course a no no no..... unless it's ABBA of course. I wouldn't be surprised if those 30-40something's all over will send Serhat to the final in May....
