Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Here it is! The incorruptible, infallible and most reliable Blogilkar's Home Jury made of people in their teens, 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's, mainly Finnish and mainly those who turn into Eurovision only on that one Saturday night, enjoy the show and that's it. Most everyone heard the songs for the first time so this was a true first impression judgement. And thus they had no idea about the fan polls, betting odds and trivial information and expectations. And boy did they turn those pools and odds around mostly, sinking some major favorites and enjoying some real underdogs. I will countdown the full ranking day by day until we have our winner out just before Liverpool is in full swing. This year I publish very few comments or opinions. Just the average score (we voted 1 to 10). In short this year is considered a bit poor by the jurors compared to for example last year and it may show in the somewhat low scores. Anyways: Enjoy! 3. AZERBAIJAN - Turalturanx - Tell me...

Another day, another entry. Today it's Azerbaijan's turn to reveal Their entry for Eurovision song contest 2023 in LIverpool and it's Tell me more by TuralTuranX, a song they have written themselves so Azeei tv didn't go shopping around this year, something that they declared already early on in the selection process. Read more here .  I heard the leaked snip earlier today and wasn't very impressed to say the least but now hearing the whole song... Hmm.... It's not so bad, it's kinda sweet after all. A bit beatlesian in a way. Zero Azeri vibes I'm afraid even if they somewhere promised there might be a bit. If they didn't mean their casual wear, I don't know...

The last missing piece of the Class of '23 for Eurovision song contest is out: Azerbaijan has confirmed 22-year-old twins and street musicians Turan and Bağmanov from Zaqatala under name TuralturanX for Eurovision. They have written their entry Tell me more themselves, a welcome change from Azeris usually shopping songs from Sweden and elsewhere, and in fact its the first Azeri made song since their debut in 2008! Well done! They were chosen among the five short listed artists internally. The other ones were Azer Nazibov, Humay Aslanova & Amrah Musayev, leila Izzatova and Mamagama.  The song will be revealed later.
