Well it’s that time of year again where all of Europe (and other parts of the world) get together to celebrate all things musical. Yes it’s the start of Eurovision Week and tomorrow (12th May 2009) will see the first 18 songs performed in the 1st semi final. previous posts show what the running order of both semi finals will be but I wanted to name the artist and song for each country for the semi finals, and then then grand final on Saturday.
As I said in an earlier post, 18 countries will perform in the 1st semi final and they are (in running order)
01) – Montenegro – Andrea Demirovic with the song “Just Get Out Of My Life”
02) – Czech Republic – Gypsy.cz and their song “Aven Romale”
03) – Belguim – Copycat and his song “Copycat”
04) – Belarus – Petr Elfimov and his song “Eyes That Never Lie”
05) – Sweden – Malena Ernman and her pop/opera song “La Voix”
06) – Armenia – Inga & Anush and their song “Jan Jan”
07) – Andorra – Suzanne Georgi and her song “La Teva Decisio (Get A Life)”
08) – Switzerland – Lovebugs and their ballad “The Heighest Heights”
09) – Turkey – Hadise sings “Dum Tek Tek”
10) – Israel – Nora & Mira Awad sing “There Must Be Another Way”
11) – Bulgaria – Krassimir Avramov sings “llusion”
12) – Iceland – Yohanna sings her beautiful ballad “Is It True?”
13) – F.Y.R. Macedonia – Next Time sing their upbeat tempo song “Neshto Shto Ke Ostane”
14) – Romania – Elena sings her Europop song “The Balkan Girls”
15) – Finland – Waldo’s People and their song “Lose Control”
16) – Portugal – Flor-De-Lis sings “Todas As Ruas Do Amor”
17) – Malta – Chiara sings “What If We”
18) – Bosnia & Herzegovina – Regina sings “Bistra Voda”
Out of all the songs performing in this semi final I would love to see Iceland sail through to the final on Saturday. It’s a lovely ballad, other acts to note is Chiara who is representing Malta for a 3rd time with “What If We”. Will it be 3rd time luck for the Maltese songstress to get to that important final on Saturday?
Join Paddy & Sara on BBC 3 tomorrow at 8pm for all the songs and results.
