Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

EBU has revealed the jurors in all 41 national juries that will provide 50% of the final result, the other 50% being of course the televote in each and every country. As usual many familiar names among the jurors, but maybe slightly less than usual it seems. Among the Eurovision veterans or the artists who have already represented their country and now get the chance to judge others we find Michael Schulte in Germany, Kati Wolf in Hungary, Maria Olofsdottir in Iceland, Geta Burtacu in Moldova, Monica Anghel in Romania, Sanja Ilic in Serbia and the Tolmachevy twins in Russia. Yes, both of them so 2/5 of the Russian jury depends on their taste alone.... Among Eurovision wannabes or those who have participated in their national finals we have names like Dilan Reka in Albania, Julie Berthelsen in Denmark, Stefan Airapetjan in Estonia, Jurgis Bruzga in Lithuania, Matay in Portugal, Ula Lozar in Slovenia and Lina Hedlund in Sweden.  Two more very familiar names...

South of Europe is under the most intense heatwave in decades while the North is asking Waar is de zon? and searching for jumpers and wool socks.
