Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Icelandic Yohanna melt the ice once again with a perfect performance. All is blue and foggy, including her dress but she and her excellent backing group keep us warm until the sun comes out in the end. This one can go very far... watch out Alexander, an Icelandic girl is after you! Macedonia concluded today's rehearsals but everyone's already talking the breaking news: we have hosts! http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGf0i0eywyo http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tcHSu7KZbE

Cute twins from Macedonia next... Well, what to say? A lot of noise and a very repetitive song that I must say I consider one of the weakest this year. Or at least most annoying. It may have conquered a few new fans today, judging what's been written in the various blogs but... I like the stage though and they do perform well. No, I don't think this will qualify despite Macedonias almost perfect qualification record so far. http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lY2nPQ5IU0

The Macedonian entrants, twins Martin & Stefan have covered this Italian classic surprisingly well. Have a look: http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJp4NHRLF1k and here's their entry for Moscow 2009: http:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQuwHbgmdN4
