Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Jamala looked very fashionable (and Cèline Dionesque) for Vogue Naviband and autumn Kristian Kostov and autumn Dima Bilan and autumn Marija Serifovic and autumn Manel Navarro and autumn Ilinca in different kind of autumn colors Hovig, too ... and Tamara G Claudia enjoyed the annual Dinner in the sky Levina wondering her next note to record Mr Lordi fixing his face in Moscow Serhat met Douwe Bob Iveta continues her trip in Mumbai Jana got a baby girl! Congrats! Svala's Sunday face

Eric Saade was in Isola d'Elba, Italy  Also Levina did Italy. Alberobello. And so did Stig Rästa. Florence.  Douwe Bob had another tattoo... ... so did Hovi Star Robin Bengtson got ill just before some summer gigs.... Michal Szpak went golfing... Vaidas Baumila hurt his leg Kristian Kostov went blond and gave a finger This week's obligatory Marija+dog pic Verka Serduchka had a party in Portofino with Dolce (& Gabbana) Gabbani met Bocelli And Rybak met Logan

Kristian had midnight pasta Ilinca had a drink Levina had candy Freddie's got mugs Conchita met Celine Sergey, Dima and other Sovjet stars met in Baku Ott met Liis in Jurmala Francesca met V aka Vettel (she 's turning into Formula One groupie...) Lucie met a... err... fan?  Demy screams for revenge.... ,,, as Helena is this week's covergirl

Eurovision 2017 is over and the artists come out with their follow ups.... Manel Navarro - Keep on falling Ilinca - Amici Francesco Gabbani - Tra le granite e le granate Levina - Stop right there

   Levina is super nice, super tall, super grey and super happy!

What were the odds? After today's rehearsals the Big5 artists Francesco Gabbani, Manel Navarro, Levina, Lucie Jones and Alma took a draw to see where they will be performing in the Grand final next Saturday and they all drew Second half. All but Francesco, Italy will be all alone in the First half, as also host country's O.Torvald has been already previously drawn to number 22....

Germany will perform in the second half of the final Levina starts the song on her back lying on the floor. Then she gets up and nothing more happens. She's a vision of grey on a grey stage with graphic shapes of all sorts. Add windmachine and that's pretty much all there is. It's a solid and pure show but also a bit dull I'm afraid. Germany could indeed be heading for another last place finishing just like the past two years but not deserving it this time either, but if you finish somewhere outside top-10 in every coutry and jury, that's what you get in the end.... Perfect midtable equals null points.
