selections 2015

We really didn’t expect it – I didn’t anyway – but France releas a video for N’oubliez pas ! Lisa Angell – N’oubliez pas  

While everyone was worrying about hearing the 78th ballad of this contest, Australians have ultimately opted for a jazzy up-tempo song. Tonight Again is quite good… The mood and Rhythms of the song actually work very well at the moment – Danes tested it for eurovision last year, with mixed success since they finished ninth. […]

While today begins the traditional Heads of Delegations meeting, we were still last night missing 6 songs of the world’s biggest song competition 2015. But 4 countries have finally decided today to unveil their choice for the 60th Eurovision Song Contest. Still waiting for Australia (scheduled for tomorrow) and Montenegro (which would not be ready […]

They were our favorites for the podcast # 48, they wins, in a relatively close vote, the Norwegian Melodi Grand Prix – the very last national final of this year. The beautiful ballad A Monster Like Me sends Mørland and Debrah Scarlett to Vienna next May.   Mørland & Debrah Scarlett – A Monster Like […]

As no surprise, Måns Zelmerlöw wins Melodifestivalen 2015. After two unsuccessful attempts, a perfect performance and a very effective song, allow him to finally represent Sweden at Eurovision. Already very high (3rd on average) no doubt the odds for Sweden are gonna rise after tonight’s final. Out of 11 international juries, only two haven’t ranked […]

Austrians have not chose their little French girl – thank you for that… The Makemakes will have the honor, representing the host country for the 60th Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna. We obviously want to send them to an hairstylist, at least to get a shampoo, but we keeps the song !   The Makemakes […]

With Armenia sending a boring Disney ballad, Turkey still out this year, and the Greeks forgeting why we love them so much, it’s Israel that saves this contest, choosing the first – and probably the only – ethno pop song of the year ! We certainly heard better, it takes perhaps a little too long […]

Incredible teasing around Genealogy, a band created from scratch. Essaï Altounian (the French-Armenian) Tamar Kaprelian (the American) Vahe Tilbian (the Ethiopian) Stephanie Topalian (the Japanese) Mary-Jean O’Doherty Vasmatzian (the Australian) and finally Inga Arshakyan (the Armenian) are supposed to represent the world, the reunion of each and every continents and blah, blah, blah… But placing […]

Congratulations to RTBF, to the Belgian delegation, to Loïc and his team. Barely 18, the finalist of The Voice Belgique shows us how it works ! Rhythm Inside is a beautiful song, electro pop with hip hop influences and a very slight RnB touch. Oh, if only my little Loïc (yes, as from today, he […]
