It has taken more than two years but finally the duet CD of Cole van Dais is ready and will be released in January 2018. We will write about it in more detail ahead of the release but now we want to show the cover which has just been finished. Interesting is the signatures of the various duet partners.
It is a few days since the first videos have been uploaded by 1in360 for San Marino 2018 Eurovision selection. ESCCover have looked at about 30% of the videos – in time we will get to everyone.
Obviously being a South African based website our first focus was on the entries from South Africa – unfortunately just 3 of them. We can report that Cole van Dais in duet with Orpan of Thailand has reached the magical 100 LIKES. Andre van Wyngaart is standing at 76 likes and we hope he will reach 100 soon. Christian Heath the 3rd entry, still has some way to go but we hope he will reach 100 likes also before the closing date. Of course we hope for more SA entries.
Secondly our attention went to other entries from Africa especially in the light of the upcoming Afri music song contest and quite a few surprised us. A little disappointed over the low amount of likes for the combined entry of Namibia/Germany but hopefully it will reach 100 likes as well.
We also looked at some from Malta and are happy that Kurt has passed the 100 likes (currently at 117) and the brother/sister duo stands at 92.
One from China has just reached the 100 like mark.
We also support Sergey Sysuev from Ukraine and hope his likes increased.
A surprise is one from Italy with already 350 likes – a fun video about BI POLAR.
There is also an interesting one from Columbia with 257 likes already.
From the look of it the top 3 in terms of likes are
3 – David Vardanov of Armenia with 813
2 – Sarah of Ireland with 926
1 – Justin Utley from the United States of America with 1202.
A lot can still happen before the deadline but we will continue to look – thumbs up to San Marino for this initiative.
