Last night, the Final of Supernova took place, choosing the Latvian entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2015. Four finalists took part in the show and in the end Aminata Savadogo took the crown and will be flying the Latvian flag in Vienna with her entry Love Injected.
Aminata missed out on representing Latvia last year when she came 5th in the national selection show which was won by Aarzemneiki. Will 2015 be Latvia’s year? Will they reach the Final in Vienna?

N R K, the Norwegian broadcaster, announced today the 11 songs for their selection for Vienna. It is a comeback for TOR ENDRESEN who has represented Norway before at Eurovision. I was playing with the idea to ask a very tough question and then discovered I do not even know the answer myself. Tor was in the Norwegian selection many years ago with a song called RADIO LUXEMBOURG. It did not win that year (I wanted to ask which year but then discovered I do not even know myself) but the song became a huge hit. The interesting aspect of this song is that it was composed by ROLF LOVLAND who wrote the 1985 and 1995 Eurovision winners and of course the world wise success YOU RAISE ME UP. So the easy question is, what is the song called that Tor had in the Eurovision – it is a famous city in the USA. This fits in well with his new song ALL OVER THE WORLD, so lets hope we get people all over the world entering our competition
Ogae Rest of the world, in conjunction with its member/fan website ESC Covers is introducing a quiz to celebrate 60 years of Eurovision.
Over a period of 20 days, there will be 12 questions posted on the website.
You need to answer all 12 questions but do not fear if you have some incorrect. Any entry with less than 6 correct answers will be discarded.
There are 4 prizes to win (Eurovision hampers) and the prizes are in categories
CATEGORY 1 – one winner out of the entries with all 12 questions correct
CATEGORY 2 – one winner out of the entries with 10 or 11 questions correct
CATEGORY 3 – one winner out of the entries with 8 or 9 questions correct
CATEGORY 4 – one winner out of the entries with 6 or 7 questions correct
There will be one question per day for 12 days over a period of 20 days.
Once all 12 questions have been presented, you e-mail your answers to roy@esccovers.com I also need your name and postal address. If you are coming to Vienna, also indicate that, as winners who are coming, will receive their hampers there. If you are not coming to Vienna, your hamper will be posted after Eurovision 2015.
The whole idea it to raise awareness of the website and get you to visit it regularly because all 12 questions will appear on different days. I would like us to reach 30 000 visitors before the start of Eurovision in May.
