Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Portugal - Elisa - Medo de sentir When the Portuguese songs were out this was instantly one of my favourites in its studio version. Live it somehow falls flat, don't know why. I want to like this a lot more than I actually do. Always a plus for the language. But... I don't know quite what to say. I am always pleased when this plays on Spotify playlist but otherwise I hardly remember it.... Sadly only 5/10 Cyprus - Sandro - Running Another song that goes nowhere. The first 45 second are kinda interesting and the last 30 seconds but all that in between feels very long and repetitive. Sandro can't save the song that's not there. Simply not effective and interesting enough, back to studio and come up with better ideas to fix the whole thing... ah, too late now. 4/10 Malta - Destiny - All of my love Destiny is the big fan favorite person. But why they have made her look twice (or more) her age like if she was some big soul diva? She's still a teena...

It's been a busy week in the Eurovision world and bresides various national finals - the last ones being tomorrow in Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Portugal - the previously announced artists have finally revealed their entries.....

Today we move to Hungary with the new releases of Eurovision stars. The son of an American soul singer and Hungarian model of noble origins András Kállay Saunders has been enjoying hit after hit and his 5th placed Eurovision entry Running has been a chart topper and multi awarded success in Hungary. Here comes the follow up, Juliet . A lovely midtempo song with beautiful video. Very nice indeed. This blogger has been a fan of his since the times of Csak veled back in 2011 and I'm eagerly waiting for his debut album! And didn't he say he wants to do Eurovision again in 2015?

Andràs Kállay-Saunders is yet another third time lucky in this years Eurovision with Running . His previous attemps ( I love you 2012, My baby 2013) made him known and last year he was already a runner up with #1 hit in Hungary with his entry. He's a New York born son of an American soul singer and a Hungarian model. His father started from Detroit and planted the Motown sound to his son, something this blogger has loved already for years. In 2011 András moved to Hungary to be close to his ill granny, saw the ad for the local Idols like talent show and the rest is history! Robert: Dal, the Hungarian preselection was less interesting for me this year. Previous years, there were many more good quality songs to be found to my taste and Kedvesem of last year was an absolute topper for me. However, Hungary managed to choose the best song of their preselection this year. I like it and expect it to do very well. YES final. Blogilkar: Once again the Hungarian Dal was a very goo...
