Player, Ireland is the bay. If one were to establish a barometer of the country to the brink of collapse, totally desperate, Ireland would probably hot cocoa, come on, just ahead of the Netherlands (another country now on the brink of death). In these cases, two things can happen. The country can send a desperate candidate of laughter (as Dustin the Turkey, Irish turkey puppet that comes out of the crapper) or a candidate heavy artillery doubled in value safe (Niamh Kavanagh, winner 1993, back last year). Problem: Ireland has played these two jokers, the two are meaty. We are therefore witnessing the agony Irish live with voices rising here and there ( shoot them! or send the Cranberries! ). Meanwhile, Ireland has chosen its candidate for 2011, it is Jedward singing Lipstick .
As you can see, it's awful. As Alain Delon, Ireland is an old glory which has more zest for life. The Jedward, which are a kind of phenomenon across the Channel, are almost hated by the world - finally Ireland and the United Kingdom (except Calvin Harris and Robbie Williams, who would it seems fans, I guess that is consistent with the first part of the sentence). But at least this ugly music performed by two species of transgenic Bros children should get a big laugh at their mega-revamped necessarily benefit the evening of Eurovision. Uh, the night of the semi final of Eurovision, after that seems more complicated.
Dana International is back! (And a quarter of an Ace of Base and a boyband forgotten)
Let's be clear: in 2011, part of Europe seems to have decided that for us to make the best soup he had better show us the good old pots, and there are no unpleasant as an air return for safe securities that floats in the air! This year will indeed return to Lena, who is present in Germany for the second consecutive year, and that of the Icelandic Johanna (finish second in 2009 with his ballad dolphins), which re-try its National screening. But the big cherry on the cake of golden comeback comes from warmer latitudes, since 2011 should see the return of one of the greatest divas of Eurovision, one of the few candidates whose it is no exaggeration to say that she has helped change the face of competition ...
Dana International!
And yes, you're probably wondering steadily in recent years at major geopolitical events or when you choose your clothes in the morning: "hey, I wonder what Dana International is doing there? . Well all your questions will finally find their answers in the month of May. Recall that at the time, Eurovision was in a very critical stage of absolute musical mediocrity, and 98 represented just the epitome of musical soup lukewarm. Dana and its luxury pens (very Black Swan) only good candidate that year, gave a hell of a publicity stunt and shine in the competition, even before his inevitable victory. Since then, the competition (obviously and thankfully) largely evolved musically as visually, and we wait anxiously to see how the queen Israel will stage a comeback on stage.
But the return to years dance does not stop there, since another star of the time will make his highly anticipated debut in the competition. This is indeed the years that the rumor would like one of the major groups of the 90s are finally represent their native Sweden, and although it's almost done! This is obviously ...
So do you pack, not, reread the previous sentence, and note that "almost" is the keyword, because it will not be the whole group but "just" Jenny Berggren ( dusk). The other singer is still quite traumatized, as evidenced by this picture where she prefers remained hidden. Jenny, she radiates already in the foreground as if she had planned his coup. And it would be kind, because the girl has already a strategy planned for this year. Although she secured the services of the best composers of schlager (Swedish, therefore, necessarily), it presents itself not as the Swedish flag, where competition is fierce, but under much more peaceful Denmark. Well, the screening has not yet occurred, and in theory it can lose, but the secret recipe schlager tubes locomotives had not yet passed the Danish border, it should have something to attract attention.
come in threes, of course, and the United Kingdom is no exception level comeback. The only difference is that they apparently decided this year not to win. And even does not look credible at all, they send ... Blue forgotten boy band, best known here for their duets with Elton John or Link'up.
Candidates French and the French are now known presenters
NB: in order not to offend our readers, and in a To ensure impartiality, Shalala Shalala in this post will replace the word "shits" with the word "rhododendron"
We'll start with the most exciting: the duo of presenters for France 3 will consist of ... Laurent Boyer first.
Well it is not the most exciting. The most exciting is the choice of co-presenter! And it ...
Catherine Lara gets stuck! Ah bravo France 3! Well, it ironically, but already, thank you God we do retypes by Laurent Ruquier who comes here to his promotion (which one does not care is not the star you tonight dude!) and, even better, you do not hit one of his acolytes-illiterate unemployed as co-pilot, thank you thank you for all that! Anyway, basically, on the evening of Eurovision, the attention is at its height during the songs but in between, the comments of the meeting generally cover all the crap that can get out of the TV so good .
The other news is that the candidate of France, yes la belle France, has been unveiled! Well, yeah, it made a few days we know officially, but given our non-enthusiasm we thought it could wait a little (and the house does not jingoism but rather in the passion without borders). France will be represented by ...
Amaury Vassili. If you do not know who it is normal, you're not an old mom housewife who filler kitties on versions of Roberto Alagna. Amaury has idols Florent Pagny (which was his voice clicks) and Il Divo (other twinks lyric-rotten), and spent singing competition where he played, for example, Les Lacs du Connemara of Mimiche Sardou . Warning player, you still a bit of vomit in the corner of the lip . Amaury has yet said there are some rather not be interested in the assistance it deems old (well, after much to ask Claude Gensac what is in Steevy Boulay or what is clever, but it is his right ), but he changed his mind, he who, in the same interview, also said to truly want to conquer the international markets (yes it's a guy who mainly uses the word as "market", you feel that art takes guts).
Amaury will sing, I quote, Corsican bolero. So without having heard it, it means they sing (we imagine, it is surely very bad spirit) of the rhododendron for 2 minutes, then the same rhododendron stronger in the last minute because it is the end - a way of perpetuating the helpless French to compose a really good pop song ( except Sebastien Tellier, whose song, if not mistaken, was not written anyway for Eurovision?). But he wants in any case it is well and that all Europe gave him full in the near future!
Shalala Shalala is questioned, however: after the flop of the diva Alenka Gotar, yet supported by all the former Yugoslavia in 2007 after 21st place in Sweden in 2009, after the 20th place in Norway last year, France did not she just realized that even the watered lyrical pop does not work at Eurovision? NEVERTHELESS, Amaury what others did not, really: the mouth of a trend twink Amelie Mauresmo and more women who did vote for Pissy, mothers, and possibly gay (although the lyrics are not necessarily register gay-friendly) . It can play to win with this.
order not to remain on that note dull and boring, a beautiful picture:
... yes, The Kid is No. 1 sales on Itunes! Itunes on the world? Scandinavia? Sweden? How does it work? Well, who cares, the important thing is that they dominate the mooooonde! Ok .. wait a minute I get a message in my headset ... they make me sign that Shalala Shalala has received thousands of requests for the performance of The Kid in Melodifestivalen be postmarked today. Well so be it!
