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!

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
