Tonight: Final in Sweden

It's finally here. The Melodifestivalen 2010 final. Newcomers Timotej with simil-ethno that opens as Tarkan track and Anna Bergendahl with heartfelt ballad that is believable are considered as possible winners ahead of league of pretty boys Darin, Ola, Erik, Peter and Andreas. Darin and Peter were pre-contest favourites but have been losing ground since while Ola and Erik convinced on stage and made them possible candidates. So, in short anything can happen, especially as Salem is very popular with his 70's Elton-ish song, too. That basicly leaves out of the race for the top only Pernilla and Jessica who qualified from the second chance round. Exciting.... My vote goes definately to Anna. If she wins tonight I think she can win also in Oslo 2010, unlike any other of these artists. When? 20.00 CET. Where? Here.

Darin - You're out of my life
Pernilla Wahlgren - Jag vill om du vågar 
Andreas Johnson - We can work it out 
Timoteij - Kom 
Peter Jöback - Hollow  
Ola Svensson - Unstoppable  
Jessica Andersson - I did it for love 
Salem Al Fakir - Keep on walking  
Anna Bergendahl - This is my life  
Eric Saade - Manboy

    ESC 2016 WISH LIST: MARGARET FOR POLAND

    Małgorzata Jamroży aka Margaret has also been tipped for Eurovision and apparently she did turn it down but she'd be perfect. She's got a look and persona you can't unnotice nor forget, she's got hit songs, she has been voted or nominated for everything from Trendy artist to the Hope of the Year, Fashion Icon and Glamour Woman of the year besides the usual best video, song, album, debut..... Oh she's also a fashion designer! She's very clever with social medias and would surely use it to her advantage if selected for Stockholm 2016. Her debut album is titled Add the blonde , do we need to say more? Except it includes mostly Swedish written pop tunes like Tell me how are ya , Wasted , Start a fire and Heartbeat . And of course her debut single and internationally noticed Thank you very much that you can enjoy below with all its anti-textil feel. I think she's Eurovision perfection, she's cheeky and fun, can we have her?

    SONGS OF THE YEAR 2015: #5 KRISTA SIEGFRIDS - ON & OFF

    Krista Siegfrids is delivering nice pop tunes one after another and this one is particularly catchy and soon you will be singing along..... Hopefully her Melodifestivalen entry will be equally good!

    MALTA: THE QUEEN OF L-GHANJA TAL-POPLU - CORAZÓN MIZZI!

    If The Travellers have proven recently one can do great singing in Maltese there's also someone else doing great stuff: Corazón Mizzi. While in Malta I was looking for some Maltese CDs only to find out they pretty much don't exist, and the most helpful staff in legendary D'Amato - probably the world's oldest record store today - suggested me Corazón's Hawn jien (2014 album). Having nothing else really to bring home I decided to go or it without even realizing it is the Corazón from Maltese Eurovision selections. And what a find it was! Thank you D'Amato! But let's start from the obvious: Eurovision. Corazón has been offering us songs in the Maltese Eurovision selection since 2009, actually making her best result this year with Falling glass , one of my favorites btw. I also liked last year's Secretly but that failed even the final. But Corazón's true calling is singer-songwriter in Maltese as this excellent album clearly shows. We have al

    ESC 2016 BELARUS: NAKED WITH WOLVES?

    Today's funniest Eurovision related story comes from Belarus. Some sources claim Ivan wants to perform on stage naked and with live wolf or wolves. It surely would be a first on Eurovision stage! We have seen some forgotten underwear over the years, and some cardbox animals though..... Is it time to take things a bit further?  No, according the rules live animals are not allowed, and Eurovision being a family show nudity won't do either. (It seems to be ok to be half naked if you are a dancer though..... )

    EUROVISION TWEETS REVEAL DETAILS....

    Brandwatch, one the world's leading providers of analytics of social medias has summed up the Twitter buzz during the Eurovision 2013 final on May 18, 2013. Over 1,8 million tweets have been analyzed and it's rather fascinating stuff. On top you can see the figure showing topics. Romania and Ireland got the tweeting go wild as did Greece, Belarus, Malta and Armenia. And you can see political tweets took over during the voting..... The figure above is for the emotions. Once again Romania and Greece got it going wild. A lot of love and joy was spread all over during the show while hate & anger increased during the voting. Is someone surprised? But have a look and analize yourself here . And here you can access to country by country details. Did Ukraine's giant get people's attention? or Moldova's outfit? Did Ireland have sex factor? Or Azerbaijan? And what about Belgium's dance routine?

    GREECE: HELENA PAPARIZOU HITS AGAIN WITH HAIDE

    Regina Lund - naked and censored

    Regina Lund's new video Jag är osynlig was censored by Youtube only minutes after it had been uploaded. In the video she was playing a female Jesus who gets crusified in the end. "I was shocked!" she says. "There's nothing more naked in it as in every church! It's ok to have naked man hanging on the wall but my nakedness is too much on internet? ". Oh well, no comment. She's prepairing a new album Dare Regina Lund and we of course remember her from her Melodifestivalen 2007 adventure with Rainbow star .
