GOOD LUCK MESSAGE – IRELAND 2015
Song and video released for Elhaida Dani and ‘I’m Alive’ for Albania
The much anticipated entry from Albania has finally been revealed. Elhaida Dani will perform the song I’m Alive. It is composed by Zzap ‘n’ Chris.
Elhaida won the Festivali i Këngës in December last year with Diell. But the composer decided he did not want this song to go to Eurovision.
Elhaida is also very popular in Italy where she won The Voice of Italy competition in 2013.
You can see the official video for I’m Alive below.

EUROVISION 60th CELEBRATION – SONG 42 of 60
Onto Belgium for the 42nd song. It is my favourite Belgium entry of all time, LIEFDE IS EEN KAARTSPEL of 1996 by LISA DEL BO. The frikaans version is by CAROLINE BOSCH.
Australia announces its song for Eurovision
After weeks of agonising over what the Australian song to be sung by Guy Sebastian would be like, the overwhelming consensus among Eurovision fans here in Australia is that is very good.
The song was officially launched by SBS on their national evening news bulletin and follow-up show ‘The Feed’. Titled ‘Tonight Again’, the song has quite a contemporary R&B sound, up-beat and funky. There is a strong brass element and it is supported by excellent back-up singers.
Many thought the song would be taken from his current album ‘Madness’ and likely to be a ballad. But Guy has proven us all wrong and written something completely new in just under a week. And what’s more, he’s recorded a video clip to support it.
Guy mentioned in the news broadcast that he wanted the song to be fun and went on say “it is about moments in life you do not want to end and you could live those moments every day”.
Since the release, the level of opinion expressed on various Facebook pages, media outlets and Twitter has been huge. Let’s hope everyone here in Australia and around the world gets right behind Guy and his song Tonight Again.
EUROVISION 60th CELEBRATION – SONG 41 of 60
We start today again with the last group of 20 songs. It is the turn again of BELARUS and their 2012 song WE ARE THE HEROES by LITESOUND. This song is very special to me. Jan-Mattys van Lill who is doing the Afrikaans cover, did it for me as a birthday present in 2012, so there are not many copies of this available as it has not been commercially released.
