The next competition is about the ABBA song THE WAY OLD FRIENDS DO which was covered in Afrikaans many years ago, originally by Anneli van Rooyen. Several other artists covered it as well, and one of the most recent is by BRAVO, a 4 man band. Bravo actually toured in Spain some years ago and performed there at Spanish holiday resorts and got good reviews from the crowd when they sang Abba songs.
In order to win copies of the single SOOS OU VRIENDE (like old friends) by BRAVO, you must tell us which Eurovision artist you would like to be friends with – doing things together – maybe a long holiday or just hand out at the movies.
Rebecca Mikaelsson, a graphic artist from Stockholm, Sweden once again did a beautiful cover for this. I like her work a lot, you cannot help but notice the covers and that is so important in the music business.
I would like to be friends with Sergey Lazarev. Some love him and some hate him. I personally feel for him. I really want to get to know him. I feel like he has a different world behind his celebrity facade, feeling so much pressure on himself. I think he has a lot to tell to a total stranger, open up and be real himself with someone who is willing to listen.
We’ve recently visited Iceland and loved it. I guess I would love to spend some time with Eyþór Ingi Gunnlaugsson, 2013 Eurovision representative from Iceland, and have him give us a bit of a tour of Iceland and to learn more about Iceland from an Icelandic perspective – plus we really like his song.
