OGAE Sweden is the next country to be present at the OGAEvision contest in Berlin during the weekend of 14 to 16 July. Their entry will sing a selection song from 2009.
OGAEvision 2017 – HUNGARY
OGAE Hungary is another new club and we are happy to see them taking part in the OGAEvision contest in Berlin in July. WHAT ABOUT MY DREAMS is a great song and Rego, what about surprising us and sing a line of it in Hungarian? We notice a lot of euro stuff on his walls and maybe one day he will represent Hungary at Eurovision and we will be hunting for his promo single.
OGAEvision 2017 – UKRAINE
We are really happy to see OGAE UKRAINE sending an entry to the OGAEvision contest in Berlin during the weekend 14 to 16 July. We just would have liked them to pick a Eurovision cover rather than a selection song which less people are familiar with but could we see an upset victory on the cards?
OGAEvision contest 2017 – RUSSIA
OGAE Russia will be represented at the 2017 OGAEvision contest from 14 to 16 July in Berlin. We were hoping to get a million voices or you are the only one but Russia is working their magic to give us something special.
OGAEvision contest 2017 – AUSTRIA
The 3rd OGAE CLUB to be at the OGAEvision song contest 2017 during the BERLIN weekend 14 to 16 July is AUSTRIA who is rising like phoenix these days. They have gone quite international with two singers from different countries and singing a song from Romania. Will this be running on air or is this a potential winner at the end of the weekend?
OGAEvision contest 2017 – MALTA
We move onto the second entry in the OGAEvision song contest which forms part of the BERLIN WEEKEND from 14 to 16 July (in Berlin, the capitol of Germany). If you follow this link, you will be getting some info on the song chosen by OGAE Malta –
interesting that after Germany picked a song from Estonia, Malta picked a song from Lithuania – will we see one of the other clubs picking a song from Latvia? I guess we have all be waiting for this NIGHT!
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.
