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...

'Try it & see' Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1st entry for Eurovision from 1967-9

Back in the 1967 or it could have been 1969 (there are conflicting reports) Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice wrote a
song specially for Eurovision entitled “Try it and see”. The song was never selected for Song for Europe.
It certainly sounds like a more Lulu (69) than Sandie Shaw (67) style song.
When instead of shelving the euro melody he used the song with completely different lyrics. In fact it became
one of the best tunes from his first Rock Musical 'Jesus Christ Superstar' the song "King Herod's Song".
Here is a recent version sung by Rik Mayer - shame we cannot find the original lyrics today!! unless
Lulu has a copy in her loft maybe?

JADE 'My Time' The Music Video

We are hoping Jade keeps her new Donna Summer-look for Moscow- Fantastic ! & the songs not bad as well

Anita Skorgan was recognised as one of Norway's MGP icons & returned to MGP Stage in Grenland 09- Here's her 1977 Song

This is back in the day....when ESC had no Vid' Postcards, just views

of a very bored after dinner audience who should have stayed home ! 

Not even a single " I Luv Lynsey" (De Paul) banner  to be seen either Ha!

MGP 2009 Norway-The Moment Alexander Rybak & Ovi Won a place in MGP Final & Celebrate With Anita Skorgan WoW!

I like this clip from Norway, seeing a ESC Legend Anita Skorgan
who sang 'Olivier' 'Casanova' in the 70's for Norway & Alexander
looks so thrilled to be in her company!

This week the Mf domination of the Swedish National Singles chart is finally thining out a little.

Yet they still amazingly hold the Top 7 places, leaving only a further three songs with the staying power 

in the charts almost one month after Globen Final. The three are Emilia ( leaps back up the chart!)

 H E A T &

Lili & Susie. Oh incase your wondering Sarah Dawn Finner stepped down to No: 21- she may return 

soon. In the following weeks it will be interesting to see which songs really stick it out, these

will be the big selling songs for the year. 

Bosnia ESC 2009 "Bistra Voda" I actually really like this one!
