Pathetic!

I knew this day would come. I rise up out of bed, turn the computer on, and after so many weeks without any of this nonsense, what do I find??? Pandora (ex-melodifestivalen Semi-finalist) decides her song sounds like the fab 'flying the flag for you'. Ive gotta say that I think she is living on another planet to think it sounds anything like it...

Esctoday.com reports she has even put on her own website a link to listen to both songs. You have to listen to them, if not just for the sheer fun of it. I would imagine the whole thing is to drive publicity her way, and even by acknowledging this, thats exactly what she is getting. Hmmmmm....

Links below. Please comment and let me know what your think. Im having trouble with the comments section...think there may be bugs....if you cant get through email me at sdjwild@hotmail.com

To visit Pandora's website and listen to the two tracks visit www.pandora.se/index.asp

Pandora says 'I want Scooch disqualified'. It sure as hell wont be!

The Beeb, give them their due have fought back. 'The Scooch song is an original song written by Russ Spencer, Morten Schjolin, Andrew Hill and Paul Tarry. Those writers were never aware of Pandora’s songs so she can be assured there has been no duplication of her work'.

One of the writers Morten Schjolin (sounds scandinavian enough) told esconnet.dk 'I had never heard her song before. I believe it’s not released in England. Some easily can say it seems alike, but I’m not afraid for this case'.

Straighteurovision is on the case, and hope to shed some light on developments in due course.......

In other incredibly important news, anyone who reads this blog (and I am assured by the powers that be that we are up to 2 now :-)) will know that we love the swedish popstar VELVET of melodifestivalen 2006 fame. I can confirm Velvet is set to launch a UK pop career very shortly. Thats fab news. She really has that something Simon Cowell would call 'x-factor'.

If your not visiting Helsinki in May, then eurovision.tv are providing everything for a eurovision party except the silly hats, booze and one night stands. Oh and they arn't providing the next morning headaches or paracetamol either! If you want to know how to prepare the ultimate eurovision party, then you clearly are not coming to helsinki this year, and should therefore be ashamed of yourself!!!! Visit www.eurovision.tv anyways.

Looks as though former eurovision winners Sertab and Dana International are trying to tie in nicely with eurovision 2007 by promoting their new cd's around the same time...clever!!! Sertab is titled 'the best of'...surely that title is plagerism of another title ive read somewhere :-)

Until tomorrow people

Tack!

Oh for gods sake! Every year the same thing. I have to admit that I dont particularly like Scooch's song but this dozey mare doesn't have a leg to stand on. Even if they were disqualified who we gonna replace them with? Cyndi with 'You Raise Me Up' Part 2? What a drama over nothing!!!!
