Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

A full week of rehearsals saw the conclusion of the second rehearsals of the semi-finalists. RUSSIA - JULIA SAMOYLOVA - I WON'T BREAK My castle in the sand Is now made of stone and rock Vocals * Staging * Song ** Overall * Hopefully non qualifier MOLDOVA - DOREDOS - MY LUCKY DAY I walk into temptation Something tells me we can make some music Vocals *** Staging *** Song *** Overall **** Qualifier THE NETHERLANDS - WAYLON - OUTLAW IN 'EM Its a fine, fine line Between whiskey and water into wine Vocals **** Staging ** Song **** Overall *** Hopefully qualifier AUSTRALIA - JESSICA MAUBOY - WE GOT LOVE At the end of the day We’ve only got ourselves to blame Vocals ** Staging * Song *** Overall ** Likely qualifier (sadly)

Moldova - DoReDos - My lucky day The three DoReDos are doubled by three dancers in a performance we already know and have reworked it greatly into a box. Funny and clever, and after last year's Moldovan surprise finish we might be better prepaired for this one finishing on the left side of the scoreboard after all. Songwise it doesn't deserve it but as a performance yes. The press center was apparently really captured by this one as will be the televoters forgetting about the song.... "Playful" , #Brilliant", "Incredibly entertaining", "Hilarious", "Cheeky", "Creative" The Netherlands - Waylon - Outlaw in 'em Waylon is full of rock credibilty in his leopard jacket on top of his podium and has musicians that turn into dancers by his side as an unexpected surprise. He delivers vocally as one can only expect from someone who just today let the world know there's a new outlaw coming to the world and...

Not only Germany's Michael but also the Netherland's Waylon is expecting his first child with his girlfriend Bibi.  He states on instagram  "Whoever brings home the trophy, this one's the greatest of them all..."  Congratulations! Waylon is to rehearse for the first time late afternoon today.  Note the cowboy at, (s)he's got outlaw already!

Waylon it getting ready for his second Eurovision song contest by releasing an official music video for his entry Outlaw in 'em - better late than never! But that's not all as his new album The world can wait is out, too. This blogger is loving both of them. 

Oh my, Waylon has chosen the real banger: Outlaw in 'Em. It is really good, and so different from the rest chosen so far and most importantly very different from his Eurovision debut with The Common Linnets. Me likes! A lot! Out of the five songs he presented the past days this one was the one that stood out being so energetic and rough, even if there were some other goodies as well. But yes, great choice!
