Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

  Pointer Sisters is a real family thing when sisters June and Bonnie started as a duo, later joined by sisters Anita first and Ruth then. Then Bonnie left for solo career and the trio June, Ruth and Anita had the most commercial success in the early 80's. June left in 2004 (and died in 2006) and was replaced by Ruth's daughter Issa. Today's line up includes also Ruth's granddaughter Sadako! But it's the early 80's when they were at their best, and my favorites. Slow hand and I'm so excited are among my all time favorite songs!

Nina Badric released the Pointer Sisters cover I'm so excited already back in 1998 with the most dubious video. Who had the idea of urinals and Nina checking the guys out and all that? Check it out here . But now it's 2012, Nina has been to Eurovision with the beautiful Nebo  (and should have done so much better!) but she's still excited as you can see and hear here . The new video is less dubious and seems to be an Italian production. This said she sounds much better in 2012 but nothing beats the energy of the original , one of my all time set-me-into-the-party-mood songs.....

WTF? That's what I said to myself when I saw the headline. In the Swedish Idol there's no age limit (in Finland it's 30) and therefor whoever can take part. Geir Rönning (47), the Norwegian grooner who has participated in both the Norwegian and the Finnish national finals several times and even won and represanted Finland in 2005 with Why has progressed to the next stage in the selections. "I understand the ctitic but in the rules there's nothing that would make me unable to participate" he says. "Every artist is looking for visibility and the visibility the Swedish idols can give me is priceless" he states. "Nothing wrong in an old Ferrari" commented Anders Bagge, one of the judges and composer of the the Azeri entry in Eurovision 2010. But that's not all. Elin Blom, the lead singer of Sister Twister, that represanted Finland in the MGP and tried their luck in Euroviisut 2010 as well is also there.... She has now moved to Sweden and...

I was and still am a huge fan of fabulous Pointer Sisters. One of their biggest hits from 1984 has been covered very well by Ultra Nate. While the original ladies bring back all the horrors of the 1980's fashion in the video Ultra Nate brings us a very different approach: the 2000's relationships reality online!
