Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

The European MTV Music award nominations are out and four names familiar from Eurovision are running for the Best European Act this time. Marco Mengoni is nominated in Italy (along with Fedez, Salmo, Emma and Max Pezzali). He already won this award in 2010. In Greece it's a battle among others between Greek Sakis Rouvas and Cypriot Mihalis Hadzigiannis while in Germany Lena is among the nominees. She won this award already in 2011. We also have Auryn in Spain against Pablo Alboran . Auryn was the runner up in the Spanish selection 2011 and Alboran was heavily tipped to do Eurovision this year....  In recent year the Eurovision stars of the past (or the near future) has often been featured also in this MTV affair proving Eurovision is up to date, at least in some cases :-) But one question comes to mind.... where's Dima Bilan ? Have Russian abandoned him? Or maybe after 7 national nominations and winning last year the Best European Act it's time to give away to oth...

Michalis Hatzigiannis is back again. In English. We own the world tonight is filled with summer and groovy feelings. I'm sure we all would feel like owning the world if Michalis was singing a serenade to us in a hot summer night.... and we can only dream about Malmö for him... 

Mihalis Hadzigiannis has released a new video,  Πλάι Πλάι , that seems custom made for this blog in its light blue imaginary. Very beautifully shot video indeed and the song's good, too. Once again great stuff from him!

Mixalis Hatzigiannis releases a new album and here's the latest video S'Agapo . This marks his return to local market after adventures in Germany and Europe with the release of album Mihalis and Everyone dance . This blogger easily understand his popularity in Greece as he manages to sound good always, whether it's a ballad or an uptempo. Great artist! And this puts me in summer mood in a sec!

Michalis Hatzigiannis has released his very first album in English called simply Mihalis. Most songs are covers of his original songs in Greek and some of them are simply wonderful. Now let's hope he would one day return to Eurovision.... Shame that both Greece and Cyprus seem to have set their plans for 2011 already. Here's the track listing: More Than Beautiful - I Raise My Hands - Favourite Mistake - Do You Really Wanna Love - Everyone Dance - Suddenly - One In A Million - In The Middle Of The Night - Heart Surrender - Eyes Of A Sinner - Let’s Call It Love - Now That You’re Gone - Kiss on the breeze More than beautiful and Everyone dance have already been released as a single.
