EUROVISION SONG VERSUS COVERS – EIN BISSCHEN FRIEDEN

In  a current series, we will look for 30 days to a Eurovision song and two covers of that song to compare if maybe someone who covered it, did it better than the original.

The Eurovision song is EIN BISSCHEN FRIEDEN, the 1982 Eurovision entry by NICOLE for Germany. It was sung in German. It also became the winner that year. The first cover is by BLES BRIDGES NIE LANK GELEDE and is in Afrikaans while the second cover is by KATRI HELENA VAIN HIEMAN RAUHAA and is in Finnish.
