Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Jurij was searching the lions in the desert. Anna did Jerusalem. As did Roko and the wing men. Joci' stime to find the sign. Verka & mama au naturel. Feeling comfortable like fish out of water.

Katerine's take on Victor's doublechin challenge. ... and Albert's.  Darude & Sebu hopefully looking to the future...

From 16 to 54, that's the (known*) age range of this year's Eurovision song contest in Tel Aviv.  Zena from Belarus is the youngest turning 17 in September while San Marino's very own Turk Serhat will celebrate his 55th birthday in October. Malta's Michela, Belgium's Eliot and Croatia's Roko are also born in the 2000's.

Here's her take on Nancy Sinatra , Shakira and Adele . And yes, she did even Loreen . No wonder she won that imitation show!  Ruth Lorenzo is the second choice by the Spanish fans, of X Factor UK fame. She got 2693 votes against Roko's 2900. Ever present Pablo Alboran (2595), Malú (2510) and Monica Naranjo (2450) complete the Top-5 of the wish list. Monica Naranjo was the fan's choice in 2010, Chenoa in 2011 and 2012 and Malú in 2013, but none of them got internally selected by the Spanish broadcaster, will 2014 chance the trend?  Check out the full list here .
