Lena is in shock - her first interview after winning Eurovision Song Contest 2010

Well what a win, in the end Europe shared the moment- it was one fabulous show.
Germany Lena & her song proved one of the Big four countries can really win Eurovision.

Once again in 2010- it is all about a briliant song.

Norway's Didrik gets our vote just before the Final begins

Didrik has come a long way since MGP Final in Oslo earlier this year. At that time
there was some concerns that his Norwegian accent made his song sound more like
'My HARD is yours' - and the re-actions seem to be is that a bad thing?
He even had a T-shirt to prove the point, we luv it- we want that T-Shirt and all that comes with it!

Sweden's is in crisis as they miss the first Eurovision Song Contest since 1976 !!

18 year old Anna Bergendahl has become the first swedish artist EVER not to make the
Eurovision Song Contest final after winning Melodifestivalen 2010.
Re-actions in countries like Finland Netherlands & Denmark have been "Hello Sweden- welcome to our world"
Yet poor young Anna has been very brave you
can see her sorrow in her eyes as Denmark's song "In a moment like this' took the remaining
Grand Final place in the second semi final.
Many critics & Euro fans have expressed how 'average' the Denmark entry is this year. I do
normally love most things that come out of Denmark for Eurovision. In 2010 I was very
disapointed with the danes choice for 2010. This does not mean the song will not do very well. It is after all
placed as the last song to sing that place in previous years has been the kiss of very sweet success.
If you ask me Anna's 'This is my life' is so much better and between these two tunes
Sweden wins for me anytime. Its just Eurovision fate, you win some you lose some- there is
always nexy year. Plus Fredrik Kempe has wrote an amazing classic tune for Norway
'My heart is Yours' this we can be so happy with..cheer up swedes all is not lost.

One huge mighty hand-clap for Kuunkuiskaajat

Milan Stanković's Balkan Beats- planning a real stomper for Serbia

Lena Meyer-Landrut - New Shoes

Lena has just released her new album 'My Cassette Player' in Germany
all in english each song presents her special style of singing. As you can see
from this Live version of 'New Shoes'- We can see how she easily captured the
imagination of the Germany public in her Pre-Selection show for Germany.

Romania 'Playing With Fire' Paula Seling with Ovi (from Norway)

There is a lot of discussion about too many ballads in Eurovision 2010- yet there
is plenty of up-beat tunes on offer like 'Playing with Fire' I like this one it has
a great hook, I hope it will do well for Romania put them back in the Top 10.
They are almost look like Lynsey DePaul & Mick Moran (UK Entry 1977)

As Paula Seling is a successful singer/songwriter from Romania who has her own
album released in English. Ovi Martin has a great track record at home in Norway
for songwriting and performing in MGP.
Here is Ovi's first try at Eurovision glory in Norsk Melodi Grand Prix 2006
when his song 'Better side of Me' made the second Chance round but not
the Grand final- Last year in MGP he did make the cut with a big hit 'Seven seconds'

Belgium 'Me and my Guitar' by Tom Dice

SunStroke Project are Moldova's Sax-Secret for Oslo -Check out their new Trax

SunStroke Project is a symbiosis of a violin, saxophone with high energy vocals, making up a fashionable chaos of music. They've given concerts in more than 30 cities

and 40 clubs all over Europe and have had a few club-hits with their own blend of sax and beats. Thats not all they have been releasing some great Club Trax in Europe for the past couple of years.

'Believe' the clip above is new for 2010 & we luv this as much as the Eurovision Track
'Runaway' (below) Another goodie is
'In your Eyes'
a single from 2009- All available from i-tunes internationally

Violins are back in Oslo with MOLDOVA's Dance SunStroke Project

This Eurovision 2010 entry from Molodva is a tune called 'Runaway'
but don't run just listen. In a year when there is
a shortage of quality up-beat songs, should mean this song may well
do very well indeed. Great use of sax with violins but no fairytale ...

Miro from Bulgaria sings 'Angel Si Ti' at ESC Oslo

a GREAT Vid from Miro- seems he is not
just a cute face!

Germany's Lena Meyer- Landrut becomes the New Oslo favourite

Her name is Lena Meyer-Landrut, she is a Huge new star in Germany Austria & even Switzerland.
She was a clear favorite for the German ARN/NDR 'Unser Star fur Oslo ' TV show This series was organised by former
Eurovision contender Stefan Raab, it was a long Idol/ X factor like-process. From a total of 20 acts the competion
was down to 2 girls Jennifer Braun and Lena. In the final show the singers had shown their talents by
performing other artists popular songs. It was clear Lena singing 'Satellite' was the most popular on the
night. And for most Eurovision Starlettes the story pauses here until Eurovision Final. ( as Germany get a qualifing
place in ESC Final each year)
Lena's success story contined with three songs from the Show shot into the German Top 10 chart lists 'Bee' & Love Me
(wrote by Stefan Raab & Lena) the winning song 'Satellite' stayed at No;1 and reached Platinum in no time at all.
As well as becoming Germany's fastest selling digital release ever! Not bad for one entry in this year's
Eurovision Song Contest. Could Germany be the first country from the big four to win ESC in the new
system.

We Luv' LENA..............

Estonia's Malcolm Lincoln will be sending out a 'Siren'

For me when Eurovision comes around there is always a handful of countries
who manage to always come up with the goods, year after year. One of them must be
Estonia. Last year's 'Rändajad' was a comeback that was well deserved, for Oslo something
a little different with Malcolm Lincoln a very haunting ballad. It works very well I think.
The video is perhapes the best of Eurovision 2010, give it time this siren will
take you in!
