PROMO SINGLE – ESTONIA
In Kyiv, members of press got the Estonian promo item as a 12 inch vinyl single. It is special and unique, but far too big to fit into the EUROVISION library in Johannesburg, South Africa, so now we had a special promo single made. This won’t get lost now.
OGAEvision contest 2017 – GERMANY
The Berlin weekend takes place 14 to 16 July (obviously in Berlin) and part of it is the OGAEvision song contest. There will be entries from 12 OGAE clubs and for the next days we will highlight each one. First up is the entry from the GERMAN clubs – they have two clubs and they have combined to pick an entry.
Why this is so interesting for us at ESC COVERS is that the male/female duo will be singing VERONA, the 2017 Eurovision entry from ESTONIA with GERMAN lyrics. We have covered the song in South Africa already weeks ago with of course AFRIKAANS lyrics. It is called AS IN DIE VLAMME and is sung by ANDRE VAN WYNGAARDT.
Just from a pure cover perspective, we are rooting for this entry.
