Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
I am asking a big favour today. The song written by me,composed by the wonderful Gorgi and sung by the fabulous Marianna has one more shot at making the Moldovan Eurovison final 2012.<br />
<br />
We were not one of the top 20 decided by the jury but the public decide the last remaining spot from the songs that didn't make it.<br />
<br />
We are in the lead so far but there is still a chance we could be overtaken. <br />
<br />
Please click the link above and click like and that is it!<br />
<br />
Please share!<br />
<br />
Thanks a million,<br />
<br />
hugs,<br />
<br />
Aidan.<br />

Every time I think of Eurovision I get this thrill going on in my mind saying, Yes I want to be there again..and again..and again! I just loving being part of it. I am in love with it. The experience is so nice! Even if the outcome is not as expected, the experience is still unique.’<br /><br />Her family are reluctant to see her return as they struggle to deal with the negative side of the press.<br /><br />She also said she would consider entering Melodifestivalen in the future and confessed her love of schlager! 'Schlager makes you dance! You just cannot stand still. It’s amazing. I really like it. I do feel comfortable performing it too.’<br /><br />Chiara has a clear love for the contest and has the same addiction that we all understand, no it's not chicken wings its Eurovision!!Schlager Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09867733567081710242noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904049110265074806.post-4319444107515154242010-08-04T04:42:00.000-07:002010-08-05T11:43:31.950-07:00Which City will it be?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG8xChnN5B1GcB8V3h-mQ6U8aAEdTH7_pNlGjYZogmeq41Se89m0abjTKFOqlHJWA5ODPiahvRL7SGEwwj_v5keJvfhzM3fD5TmDfSl5dCL8RJO1Xc7Wjjihy6rGbOHPP2pVfSU4IYk_Y/s1600/Germany_map.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 373px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG8xChnN5B1GcB8V3h-mQ6U8aAEdTH7_pNlGjYZogmeq41Se89m0abjTKFOqlHJWA5ODPiahvRL7SGEwwj_v5keJvfhzM3fD5TmDfSl5dCL8RJO1Xc7Wjjihy6rGbOHPP2pVfSU4IYk_Y/s400/Germany_map.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501518888713412354" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The 2011 host city will be announced next month. 8 cities have expressed an interest in hosting with the main contenders being Berlin, Munich, Hanover, Frankfurt and Cologne.<br />In terms of population these cities have quite a range from Berlin at 3.2 million to Lena's city of Hanover at just 516,000.<br /><br />Many have expressed their wishes for which city they would like to see hosting. In my opinion I want a city that is able to cope with the demands of hosting eurovision and providing the buzz about the contest throughout the whole city just like Oslo did. <br />Moscow on the other hand was too large and swallowed up the atmosphere.<br />Either way I am positive that the German's will present a very efficient show that is well organised and will be a comfortable and enjoyable place for all us lunatics that arrive next May!<br /><br />What do you think?Schlager Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09867733567081710242noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904049110265074806.post-9861296184902369332010-08-03T08:24:00.000-07:002010-08-03T08:31:40.037-07:00Reconnect me!<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QYtf__P8j6o&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QYtf__P8j6o&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />Former A Teens star and girlfriend of Mans, Marie Serneholt has said she is looking at suitable songs for her return to Melodifestivalen in 2011 following her debut in the contest in 2009 with 'Disconnect Me'!

One of the earliest announcements to take place During a radio show, the band made this public with the Dutch broadcaster, Televisie Radio Omroep Stichting (TROS) also announcing the bands candidacy. With the band saying: "It's about the song again", after the Netherlands poor results in recent years.<br /><br />The band will produce five songs before the end 2010, which will be performed at the national final (National Songfestival) in early 2011, during which the public and a professional jury will vote for their favourite song.<br />.Schlager Queenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09867733567081710242noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904049110265074806.post-44404705691339575982010-07-27T07:28:00.001-07:002010-07-27T07:31:57.123-07:00Sexy Slovenia!<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EV5lcaUu5-Q&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EV5lcaUu5-Q&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />I have just returned from a fantastic holiday in Lake Bled in Slovenia.
