It is GERMANY now and their 2009 entry MISS KISS KISS BANG, originally sung by ALEX SWINGS, OSCAR SINGS. The South African cover has an international connection with PATRICIA LEWIS doing it in duet with American celebrity DAVID HASSELHOFF. This is quite interesting as David had several number one hits in Austria.
It is now the turn of FRANCE, normally a country who’s euro entries I do not like. But their 1993 entry was a Major surprise, MAMA CORSICA by PATRICK FIORI. It is one of the best songs and among my top 10 of all time. The Afrikaans cover by STEVEN STERLING is called MAMA AFRIKA and it is the second best cover ever.

We have received some pictures of the celebration held last weekend in Colombia by some of our Rest of the World members. They met in Medellin and Bogota to enjoy the final of Melodifestivalen and Melodi Grand Prix. They are now planning for their celebrations with the final of Eurovision on May 23rd. It is great to see that we have members all over the world who share the enjoyment of Eurovision.
With Finland in the news with their 2015 song, we look at their 2000 entry A LITTLE BIT by NINA ASTROM. The Afrikaans cover is by PRISCILLA SMITH.
Onto ESTONIA and their 2011 song ROCKEFELLER STREET sung by GETTER JAANI. The Afrikaans cover, with the same title, is by CHRIZAHN.
Albania changed their song, ARMENIA has now changed the title of their song to
FACE THE SHADOW
I like the new title
