I am putting up a mail we just got from Jan from Slovenia. This is what we love and anybody you have done euro covers, no matter from what country and whatever song you did, we will feature it. This is the main purpose of the website, COVERS.
It’s Jan here from Slovenia, I noticed your website – first of all thanks for Ogae RoW FB team, who published my first Eurovision cover on their facebook page – it was Russian 2014 Eurovision entry “Shine”, which was covered by me & my little sister Linda, available here: http://soundcloud.com/vehar-jan/tolmachevy-sisters-shine-cover-by-jan-lindaA bit more than week ago I actually released one more cover, which is not really Eurovision, but it was part of Melodifestivalen 2007 – it’s “Cara Mia”, originally performed by Måns Zelmerlöw. Cover is available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQN4_y3_AJk
If you can help us with promotion with boths songs, we would be more than thankful!Best regards,
Jan Vehar, Slovenia
In the run-up to the Norwegian selection and the duet between Tor and Elisabeth a song contender as both have been at Eurovision for Norway, it is time to listen to some of their previous songs. The covers of the two CD’s are sort of greatest hits that came out around the years they represented Norway and I got both personally from the artists at Eurovision. Their duet gets my vote for Norway 2015.
The next song was not a very big hit at Eurovision but was a platinum selling in South Africa. It is the 2009 song from DENMARK – BELIEVE AGAIN of Brinck. In Afrikaans it is sung by Heinz Winckler which was the first winner of IDOLS in South Africa.
The selection CD of Iceland 2015 is now available on Itunes
