Terminal 3.... The Eurovision Blog

And back with a vengeance for her third attempt at Eurovision glory and will it be 3rd time lucky for her. Who am I talking about you are asking? Well Chiara of course!!! Malta have finally convinced the Maltese songstress to try again for a bite at the cherry which is called Eurovision, but first she has to participate in Eurosong 09. Eurosong 2009 is the Maltese National selection and unfortunately for Chiara she has some stiff competition, not only has she got the likes of Claudia Faniello, Eleanor Cassar, Klinsmann, Miriam Christine, Natasha & Charlene and Ludwig Galea but she has also got to face the songwriting talents of Gerard James Borg, Paul Abela, Philip Vella, Ray Agius and Ralph Siegel who has now set his sights on representing Malta. Personally I have not heard the song and am not sure when they will be released by the Maltese but I dont think she should have any problem as long as it is a traditional ballad to go with her fantastic voice. With a 3rd place in Birm...

Well the BBC think that Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber can!! And I have to say so do I!!! Well all I need now is to get my voice back after this stinking cold and chesty cough and get someone to record me on video so that I can send application in. This I believe is the first time in the United Kingdoms history of Eurovision that it has been opened up on such a scale to everyone. Now the big question is "What type of song will it be?" I think he may go for a big big ballad and may even get Tim Rice to co-compose it!! Will it be enough to put the UK on the Eurovision map again??? I think it will, but will it be enough to win??? I think we will come close, but then again the Swedes, Maltese, Dutch and Greeks are I think going to pull all the stops out for Moscow. Now I am going to have a big problem choosing a song for this part........... Phantom, Cats, Aspects or Evita????

Saturday 4th October 2009 was a good day in my book as it was the OGAE UK Eurobash held in Birmingham. What a fab day it was, with well over 100 people attending and with 2 guests speakers who were interviewed during the afternoon, those being Bill Martin who is probably most famously known for being the co-writer of the 1967 winner sung by Sandie Shaw "Puppet on a String" and Gemma Abbey who was one half of the duo Jemini who got the first and only notorious "nul points" for the United Kingdom in Riga 2003. Both guest were very vocal about Eurovision, Bill Martin stating that Terry Wogan should step aside as his comments bring the Contest to ridicule, Gemma stating that the BBC were their best friends until the night of the final and the nul points was confirmed and then both her and Chris (her singing partner) were dropped "like a tonne of bricks" The afternoon also consisted of a quiz and "A best Song from Number 2" contest which was a pick o...

It would appear that now that the Estonian public vetoed the Head of Estonian Television (ERR) and said that they wanted an Estonian participation in Moscow, that ERR are finally taking the whole thing seriously again. Today the announcement has been made that the Eesti Laul 2009 will take part on March 7th 2009. The old Eurolaul as it was called previously has been scrapped for the new format so that should a decision be made in the future for Estonia not to participate at Eurovision then a contest will be in place that will bring Estonian Pop Music to the fore. 10 songs will be performed in the final, but it is not known at this time what type of voting procedure will be used. I do hope they use a jury vote and that they send something which is not as bad as what they sent this year, with thet in mind I would normally put a video on here of the latest Eurovision entry, however I am going to choose my own personal Estonian favourite............. Ines from 2000.
