Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

  After Eurovision break here comes some new #Finpop tunes including Chisu who's quitting her solo career and yet another radio banger from ex-Satin Circus Olli Halonen. Enjoy! Chisu - Mun kulta Överi - Zidane  Pamela - Ei täs mitään häviä Olli Halonen - Suomen kesä

Ex-Lordi and Eurovision song contest 2006 winner Sampsa Astala has released a new solo single (we can remember him and his band Stala & So. also from Euroviisut 2011 with Pamela , the participation that eventually made him leaving Lordi for good). This summer also mark's Lordi's 15th anniversary! The song recalls his way from a small town to the top - one can be a small town boy and became anything he wants to, even a Eurovision winner.  He also has a crazy plan to tour all 106 Finnish cities with it - that's a lot of small towns to tour.....

Malta has come to its 5th semifinal last night and one can only wonder when we will hear the winner - or have we already?! Petra Zammit offered a nice laid back soul number in pure Motown 80's style. Pamela followed with another mid tempo song that turned into some sort of operetta in the chorus promising much more than she or the song delivered in the end. Nadine Axisa & Clifford Galea had a sugary Disney tune in classic Eurovision style. Priscilla & Kurt , another duet. Another Disney/ESC thing heard about a zillion times before. Crazy violins of Baklava are back, too. And they have a female singer this time around - thank God for that! Quite chaotic and messy but it's hard to judge with this video quality. Last but not least Rosman Pace who might have a good one. Maybe. Or does it just sound like something out of Melodifestivalen? So, out of these who should I pick up...  Baklava and Rosman Pace might work best in Eurovision but I liked most Petra Zammit, that...

I was wondering where are Glen Vella and Pamela, two Maltese regulars in their national finals and how come they're not participating again. Well, they are. They form Q together with Fiona, Leontina and Luca. All of them have been participating solo before. Glen has represanted Malta already in several international festivals from Bulgaria to Kazakhstan. Here are some of their previous entries: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HnxH6s9ssk , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPqHp6za0cc , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7n-JicNQcE , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zf7ymV-wg00
