FLASHBACK Olivia Newton John 1974-'Angel Eyes' would have been better than 'Long Live Love' winner of that year?

Its been no secret that Olivia was not a big fan of Song For Europe Winner of 1974 'Long Live Love' althrough
it went on be gain 4 th place at Eurovision Song Contest 1974. Here is Olivia on The Cliff RIchard Song singing
the runner up song. 'Angel Eyes' another worthy winner, I aggree it would have been a better choice at the time.
Still a sounds fantastic- just the orange frilly jump suit is outa place

              Long Live Livvy...

Shirley Clamp goes from Tesco's check-out to Tv Commentator !

                  Just a few days ago in Stockholm. Our Schlager Diva Shirl' after her wonderful performance in Melodifestivalen 2009 singing 'Med Hjärtat Fyllt Av Ljus'  We were shocked to find Shirley back at the check-out  in Sweden's own Tesco's...But Thankfully she finally got back on the SVT payroll as she will be one of the Commentators for the broadcast of Eurovision Song Contest 2009. 

                Along with her good freind Edward af Sillen they will together bring a touch of class, humour & spontaniety to the proceedings during all three shows in Moscow- Its been one

 schlager-ous  journey for Shirley from her backing vocalist appearence of ESC 2001 with Antique for Greece. To the chance to cheer on Malena on all the way to the Final in Moscow 2009. 

What A Treat -  The Ed' & Shirl' Show.

Fairytale Official ESC 2009 Video

Meet Scott Anderson -simply Australia's Best Trance DJ - He chats here about his career & passion for Music

I was recently amazed to find this great short chat with Scott he is just the Master of Trance down-under..As well as being a down-to-earth cute ozzie male,

His biggest influences is Armin Van Burren- who I share great respect for as well. Thanks for interview John.

Find out more at scott's my space. http://www.myspace.com/djscottanderson

it's Not 'SCHLAGER'

-but its Scott.

The Winner: Lets just see again that Moment of Malena's Glory- I ask will the voting in Moscow be as tense as this?

FLASHBACK: La Vie- Christer Björkman-Shirley Clamp & Miss Engfors + a Magnus cameo (2002)

This camp Swed feature I had never seen before, it was in fact put together

for Stockholm Pride in 2002 ! Christer looks and sounds

fab...& the cameo from a young up-coming Magnus Carlsson is

equally entertaining- I will try dig out some more classic Master Magnus soon

inroducting Polarkreis 17- 'Colour of Snow' German muzik at its best -check it out!

Polarkreis 18 - Colour Of Snow (HQ) by arnicolas

You can be forgiven for thinking this is from 1985! It is in fact a massive hit from Germany's own home-grown Bundesvision Song Contest 09. This is a regional contest , & this song & band came 2nd for Sachsen. Find out more here.

I wish ESC had more entry's like this certainly beats Alex Swings Oscar enrty, plus the video is amazing- it reminds me of The Killers Vs A-Ha, Are Polarkries 17 the eurovision songs of the future? Lets see...
