COVER2COVER – PROMOTIONAL PLATFORM

Since Monday 28 September, the ESC COVERS website (with our partners Eurovision coverage, EuroVisionMusic, Destination Eurovision and the radio station x5 stereo) started promoting the COVER2COVER concept. It is not a competition anymore but a promotion platform and hopefully South African artists will send covers to us. The 3 entries we received, Helena, Anton and Marle, will be carried over to the coverage. Victor Bush is once again our model and he will be holding promo items, CD’s and bags of some of the entries from the Eurovision song contest. The 11th one is of CROATIA 2019. It is the bag and promotional CD of ROKO with THE DREAM.

Croatia and Malta held their second press conferences of the week at the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest.

Roko from Croatia was up first. He is only 19 years old and has a great voice. He was thankful for Jacques Houdek (2017 ESC Croatia) for his help and inspiration. Roko also sang a little of The Winner Takes It All by ABBA with his backing singers.

Michela from Malta appeared to be very happy and relaxed and looked bubbly as she faced the media. She said she was happy for he X Factor experience that lead to her journey here. She also said she likes to be versatile with her music styles. She likes to sing pop, country, rock, She sang a littleof a song in Maltese that she did on X Factor and Shallow from the A Star Is Born soundtrack and also a Miley Cyrus song. She is also currently recording  more material for release after Eurovision. Of course, she still has her important  studies at school to complete.

SEMI FINAL TWO 2019 – CROATIA

Today Ida Andia from Romania turns her attention to CROATIA who is one of the songs in the second semi final.

Roko is a young singer who comes this year with a nice ballad; the composer/ his mentor is well-know in the Eurovision – the 2017 contestant of Croatia, Jacques Houdek. I like the mix of the English language with the Croatian one. He has a strong voice, on some parts a voice of an angel, but I think he will not qualify. I really love this song and it’s on 11th in my TOP (for this semi-final). But Roko could dare to dream he could make it – to pass in the Final.
