Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

James Newman, United Kingdom's 2020 Eurovision hopeful has now released The things we do EP that collects all his four songs released this year starting with his entry My last breath and followed by Better man and Enough , and finally Alone. All quality tracks and one can only hope BBC will call him up again for 2021 and he's willing to do it with better luck this time, and hopefully with even better song that My last breath is!

Czech Republic - Benny Cristo - Kemama What can I say? There are elements I like, but in the end it's a mess. It's also so anonymous it could be from anywhere, anytime. I kinda like it for a while when it plays but besides that it's completely forgettable. This said I would have been interest to see how they would have staged this because I have a feeling this might have worked live in a big arena with audience participating. But would people have taken the effort to vote? Probably not. 4/10 Austria - Vincent Bueno - Alive Shackle bolts! Now that's something you don't hear every year in Eurovision. This is like Czech entry, I kinda like it when it's playing but have hard time remembering otherwise. Vincent does his best Timberlake/Jackson moves and grooves but it really isn't that original or captivating, is it? 5/10 United Kingdom - James Newman - My last breath The best UK entry for a long, long time! I really like his voice and I hope...
