Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

While most countries have released their music videos already ages ago some are always taking it a bit easier and release them in due time like Portugal, San Marino and Romania, while some like never. Looking at you Loreen, La Zarra & co..... Meanwhile enjoy these efforts:

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! 37. ROMANIA - Theodor Andrei - D.G.T....

Theodor Andrei with D.G.T. (On and off) has won the Romanian ticket to Euroviison song contest 2023 in Liverpool. Also Romania decided to take a risk rather than going for nice and safe.

Aledaida - Bla bla bla  4.250 5. Amia - Puppet  4.232 6. Steven Roho, Gabriella,  Formația Albatros - Lele  2.857 7. Maryliss - Hai vino  2.471 8. JaxMan - Bad & Cool  2.459 9. Deiona - Call on me  1.878 10. Andrada Popa - No time for me  1.606 11. Ocean Drive - Take you home  1.469 12. Adriana Moraru - Faralaes  925 To be updated

Romania's Selecția Națională 2023 is one of the lucky or unlucky ones to have set their  date for February 11 being one of the seven finals taking place at the same night and fighting for attention. Twelve songs made it among the 86 submissions, among them Andrada Popa, a Junior Euroviison 2008 veteran, and among songwriters Norwegian Kjetil Mørland ( Statues ). Otherwise it's apparently rather unknown cast and there will be only 100% televote to avoid the usual drama and chaos that has reigned in recent years. So I hear. Deiona - Call on me ** Well, this moves by without a trace.... Andrada Popa - No time for me ** Pretty much same goes for this one. By no means not bad, but just rather forgettable and leaves no trace. Better vocals though.  Ocean Drive - Take you home *** Change of beat. This is kinda groovy and catchy in a way. But just like the previous ones this just flows away without a trace. It seems to be the trend her..... Amia - Puppet *** Ok, this is diff...
