Eurovision Memories-Javine
•May 22, 2009 • Leave a CommentJavine is an English popstar who narrowly missed out in becoming a member of the sussessful girl group Girls Aloud by finishing 6th in Popstars:The Rivals. Javine represented The United Kingdom in the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest which was held in Kiev, Ukraine with the entry “Touch My Fire”. The song did terribly in the final and finished in a disappointing 22nd plance with a measly 18 points. I personally feel that this song was very strong on the night and deserved to do much better. Judge for yourself….

The song proved to be very popular amongst the eurovision faithful and netted an impressive tally of 158 points. Personally I think that it was a great song which deserved its success.
Blast From The Past-Nizlopi
•May 19, 2009 • Leave a CommentI know that this song isn’t very old and that most of you haven’t forgot it but I don’t care I still think that it deserved a spot in my “Blast From The Past” archive. This was such a simple song that the world fell in love with. Its still as good listening to it today! Nizlopi singing “JCB Song”
According to Wikipedia:
“JCB Song” is Nizlopi’s most successful song, reaching number one in the UK on its second release. The song was written about Luke’s troubles with dyslexia at school and his escape to accompany his dad at work, and was released as a single in June 2005, reaching number 160 in the UK Singles Chart. The single was then re-released in the UK on 12 December 2005, reaching number one the following week on 18 December 2005, selling more than twice the number than the closest contender, Westlife. Dermot O’Leary gave the track extensive airplay on his BBC Radio 2 show. Some bookmakers put it in the running for the honour of Christmas number one but it was beaten by the winner of the second series of the UK version of The X Factor, Shayne Ward‘s debut single “That’s My Goal“. The video has received widespread airplay, mainly on music TV channel VH1. It is an animated video, made by Laith Bahrani (a.k.a. ‘Monkeehub’), who also animated an unofficial video for an acoustic version of “Creep” by Radiohead. In 2007 Nizlopi received an Impala Platinum award recognising sales of over 500,000 copies of “JCB Song” across Europe.

Eurovision Memories-Sertab Erener
•May 19, 2009 • Leave a CommentTurkey won the 2003 Eurovision Song Contest in Riga, Latvia with the great song “Everyway That I Can” sung by Sertab Erener. In a tight final vote, Turkey received 167 and beat Belgium by only 2 points.
Erener is a big popstar in her native Turkey and also is a cross-over soprano with a vocal range that extends to high F (whatever that means). She is consideded to be one of the true divas of the Turkish pop world.
