Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Estonia semifinal one offers as usual a variety of styles but sadly rather middle of the road radio pop without a real banger. The Swingers swing it away lead by previous Eurovision entrants Tanja and Birgit, and another previous one Sandra Nurmsalu of Urban Symphony fame is back as well. Swedish Victor Crone in an eearly fan favorite with another Stig Rästa penned song. Last year's runner up Vajé's Stefan is back as well.

Liberato is Italian artist who's Tu t'e scurdat'e me is a mix of sounds and languages; Napoletan with some hook in English just to confuse you. It's hypnotic and addictive, and the video makes me miss Naples so much..... Željko Joksimović has a new hit for the summer, Milimetar, an uptempo number with a retro beat. After initial meh it sticks to your head after a couple of hearings..... There must be a zillion Depascito covers all over the world already of the most streamed song ever. Estonian showband The Swingers have done a swing one and it's very groovy one. They don't know a word of Spanish but do a decent job with it and the singers are none other than Birgit Õigemeel and Tanja :-) Kenan Doğulu is back this summer with İlk Adımı Sen At , that has a nice arrangement and lazy nostalgic summer afternoon beat. And clearly Cornetto as sponsor :-)
