Will Albania get the right formula?

By -
Albania a very mysterious country which is starting to show itself now to the rest of the world entered the Eurovision song Contest in 2004 with a great song "The Image of You" and finished a very respectable 7th. Since then however, a very mixed bag of songs. A poor performance in the 2005 final sent them into the semi final for the 2006 show and then another poor song saw them staying there for 2007. Now for me personally the 2007 Albanian song was just absolute drivel and was my personal fave to come last in the semi.
Will Albania get the formaula right to win Eurovision or will they fade away in 2008 with another atrocious song. We will find out very soon as they normally choose there song in December so again will be the first country to name their tune for Belgrade.

All things considered I do wish Albania best wishes and very good luck for 2008.

Austria Not Going To Moscow

Its been 42 years now since Austria lifted the Eurovision crown with the song "Merci Cherie" which was sung by Udo Jurgens and now it would seem that ORF the Austrian Broadcaster will be making it 43 years as they have announced that they will not be sending a song to Moscow in 2009. Austria have not been a regular attendant over the past couple of years and even when they have been there they have not worried the judges too much even if they have sent a couple of corkers. In my opinion "Y'Asi" which was in the 2005 Contest sung by Global Kryner was one of the most original songs in the contest and also one of the best vocals and should have qualified and it was this lack of qualification with this song that made the Austrians decide not to compete in Athens. A bad result in Helsinki then made the Austrians again withdraw from Belgrade with a statement "that the voting needed to be looked at and changed dramatically". Even with this change to the Eu...

Not a winner.

So it's the beginning of February and the UK are all ready for Eurovision . For so many years we've had to wait until the last minute before finding out who was going to represent us. However, with the passing of Wogan's reign over the ridicule of Eurovision in the UK, we were told that it was now time to take it seriously again to bring the Eurovision back to the UK shores, rather than being the laughing stock of the rest of Europe. With UK fans having been told this numerous times before by the BBC, could we believe that this year was any different? Enter Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber , probably one of the best musical writers ever known (well, in my eyes anyway!) Maybe we were going to take it seriously this time. Stepping into Wogan's shoes, to take it seriously.... we choose a comedian!!?! To choose our entrant, 5 shows - 4 being live, with Andrew Lloyd Webber writing the song for the winner. Seriousness is thrown out of the window right from the start with so...
