SPAIN: LISTEN TO THE OBJETIVO EUROVISIÓN ENTRIES

RTVE has made public the 30 songs and artists that made throught the selection - out of 392 submittted songs -  to be voted online and fighting for the place in the televized national final later. Before than the ten most voted ones will face a jury that picks up three of them for the next stage. The voting opens tomorrow and closes on December 12. They will be joined in the final line up by some invited artists.
Among the artists we have Nicky Triphook from X Factor UK, as is Fruela who also works in Italy. Damián Montes aka Padre Damián is known from La Voz just like Brequette who is also very known to all Eurovision fans for losing to Ruth Lorenzo and backing Barei this year. Also Nieves and Rebeca are from La Voz.  Jávian is known from Operación Triunfo and Javi Soleil is an Eurovision veteran from Helsinki 2007 as a member of D'Nash. Milena has been to Eurovision already twice as a backing singer, for ESDM and Barei. Íñigo is an actor and experiences musical star. E-Twins are Victor and David Espinosa, previously known as VD. Nito is dancer & choreographer and Gio gives us a bit of gospel vibe. Ektor already tried the Swiss selection this year.
Quite a lot of hot Latin rhythms and hints of flamenco in here so it seems RTVE might be o the right track.... The first hearing got me interested in Dani J, Jon Josdi, Fruela, Shannel, Javián and Javi Soleil. Listen and judge yourself :-)

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.

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..... )
