Interview with Anonymous - 30/04/07
SE: Welcome Anonymous. Thanks for chatting...
SE: All of us at straighteurovision love your song this year. Its a totally different style for Andorra. Will you be singing in your native language or english?
A: We will be singing like in the song, in English and Catalan. Catalan is our official language in Andorra and so we decided the song needed to have a bit of andorran culture in it as well as English.
SE: We think its great to have rock at eurovision. Will there be any surprises with your show?
A: We will do our best on show and hope you all enjoy it, it´s all about having fun and if we pass it will be fantastic. We will give it all on stage to pass.
SE: We think you should qualify to the final, plus you have a good draw this year. How do you think you will do?
A: No idea, how do you think?lol ajaj Well do our best and we hope you enjoy! :D
SE: Top 10 maybe?!?!?! Is there a full english version available of your eurovision entry?
A: Yes, on our single that is out now....
SE: Cool, were off to check it out...oh wait, more questions first..If you don't win eurovision, would you consider doing it again?
A: Yes for sure, this music festival is amazing, it´s like a dream come true, sorry, it´s a dream come true!
SE: Glad to see you are getting into the swing of things. If you could duet with any eurovision act from the past who would it be?
A: No idea, to be truthful, we in Andorra have only been following the festival since Marta Roure represented us for first time.
SE: Yes we remember Marta vividly...Not sure that is a good thing however...Have you seen or heard the UK song for eurovision. If yes, do you like it? How do you think the UK will do?
A: No, not yet. Im going to listen to it now :D
SE: Blasphemy..go and listen now!!! Would you consider representing any other country; maybe the UK perhaps?
A: We´d consider representing the UK, (Niki is from Guildford) that´s for sure but I don´t know if we´d be able to take England to the top, we don´t consider ourselves that good lol
SE: Finally, we will be cheering you on at eurovision from the UK, any words for your international fans?
A: Thanks, we love having fans and hearing from them, and we hope you all enjoy our songs we will do our best on the 10th and we hope you enjoy!!!
SR: Thanks for your time Anonymous...

Hola Mi Hombres!
Evening all
Home tomorrow! Looking forward to getting back to things for a week before jetting off to Helsinki on the 8th...Lovely jubbly..No suntan to talk of as the weather has been pretty hit and miss but its always nice to sit by the sea drinking sangria in a sort of shirley valentine sort of way....
Esctoday.com has been tempting fate with weather reports from Helsinki, and it seems that straighteurovision will be greeted with showers on our first day. Lets hope for sun sun sun in Helsinki. Esctoday.com also talks about the various things to do in Helsinki during eurovision week. Its all pretty much of a muchness but we are taken by the "eurovision cake baking" part. Surely they havent dragged Nigella Lawson across to Finland for the week???
The stage design is still taking shape, and straighteurovision have got some good feelings about it. follow www.eurovisiondiary.com for the latest....
Finally, straighteurovision will bring you an interview with Anonymous sometime tomorrow once back in good ole blighty...until then, something sorta eurovision to keep you going until then by UK singer/songwriter Lily Allen...

Hello from Spain!
Afternoon all!
I post to you from shitty Benidorm, where after having driven three hours up the spanish coast, we decided it would be a good idea to stop over for the night...wrong f**king decision....If ever you could say a place has more turds in it than a f**king toilet then this would be the place....not only that it is teeming it down with rain!!!!
Therefore having go the opportunity to post to you I thought I´d take the chance...
The stage for eurovision is looking rather good, and more like an MTV awards show every year. It seems like the background will be entirely LCD, which will (IMO) move the show a step further, which is always a good thing!!! I think since the introduction of LCD in 2003 it has really helped move the contest into the 21st century, which is probably why the whole of europe loves it...wake up UK!!!!
Lebanon have gone for Bulgaria to win eurovision...isnt it great that even the OGAE teams come up with some wild and wonderful results...More worrying though is that UK is 19th....these OGAE results all look very bad for the UK...lets hope its alright on the night as Dennis Nordan used to say!
Russia have gone for Greece, while the Dutch say Serbia. I do think this year it could be so so so open, with maybe a repeat of 2003?
Gunther and the sunshine girls...yes remember him??? are actively promoting a show they are doing in LA...but check this out...its may 12th....can´t see many people in the eurovision community travelling for this one!?!?!? If you are mad and want to follow the twitching lip, leather wearing one check out http://www.ticketweb.com
Finally, straighteurovision will back to normal come Monday so I look forward to posting properly from comfortable surroundings, and not a flee-bitten, rancid, internet cafe...
Love to you all!

Adios, Auf Wiedersehen, See You Soon!
Afternoon all
Straighteurovision is off to Spain tonight, so we thought we would wish you all well. Its straighteurovisions usual pre-eurovision sunseeking holiday (not needed last year as athens was so hot), but we assume it wont be as warm in Helsinki, and our chance to get a bit tan-tastic before long evenings of serious food guzzling and binge-drinking!
We might get a chance to post before we return, but if we don't...we will return on Monday 30th May....for a huge post....
love to you all...until then!
Tschus!

Schlagerfest & Euroland's Most Fabaroooney DJ
Morning all!
On Friday night (20th April) the Loom bar in London, held its first Schlagerparty as a preview to the eurovision week (just a mere two weeks away now!). The party was organised by Sara Fredriksson and the whole evening was a rousing success. Sadly straighteurovision has given up the jollys to london's retro bar on a thursday night as frankly, im f**king knackered for work the next day, so we missed this event also...bugger! However, we hear the atmosphere was utterly fab, and there were fans from all over europe waving Swedish through to United Kingdom flags.
It seems very friendly in there!
Everyone's having fun!
Id just like to say that I met both these two guys in Athens last year. Look forward to seeing you both again soon!!!!
Another two of my eurofriends enjoying the evening!
DJ Dave with a swedish lovely...
Oh a UK flag....At least someone is keeping the British end up?!?!?! Ooh err missus!
Eurofriend John with another lovely....but is she swedish???
In my opinion there were two main reasons why the night was a success:
1) Its a f**king fab way to get eurofans in the mood for eurovision week.
2) The DJ was David Simmons.
I wont worry about point 1, as it is fairly self-explanatory, but point 2 needs some elaboration....
Having seen Dave DJ at last years eurovision accrediation zone 'euroclub'. I have to plug this guy as his mixing is top-notch, and his choice of music is bang-on-the-money. He had the whole party going mad from start to finish, which included a friend of mine from Germany jumping up on stage with his germany colleagues and performing the dance routine to 'My Number One'. All this despite the lack of serious alcohol at the euroclub...
Dave will be DJ'ing at this years Semi-Final afterparty held at the euroclub, and I for one can't wait!!!! You would be a fool to miss it! I will endeavour to try to bring you photographs of as many events during the week as possible!!!!

Watch British, Support French!
Photo courtest of http://www.myspace.com/officiallynickifrench
Todays post is all about the fab Miss French. She is currently appearing in a theatre production 'Menopause the Musical' in London's West End...Menopause; not a dinner time conversation but hey we hear she is very very good!!!!
Nicki is appearing on the Biography Channel today at 17.30. For thos of you who have SKY its channel 161, or for those of you who have VIRGIN TV its channel 242.
Its basically an interview with Nicki French which I am sure at some point will refer to eurovision and her participation in 2000.
Cant wait! Dont miss it!!!!
In case you cant wait, below is a video where Nicki is interviewed by SKY about Scooch and our chances in 2007.
In other news there is basically no f**king news...It is sooo frustrating when you have f**k all to talk about!
Check out schlagerboys blog on my links for a fab interview with danish eurovision representative DQ.
Ooooh hint of excitment, ive found a tribute to SCOOCH titled 'Scooch - the road to eurovision. Its basically all their hints on the way to MYMU 2007....check it out below...its fab!

'Volar La Bandera' or is it 'Fliegen der Markierungsfahne'
Afternoon all.
You may hear this post's title words being spoken in Helsinki; or even being sung. Scooch have written five language versions of 'flying the flag (for you)'. So from now on straighteurovision are going to only refer to scooch's entry as 'battre le pavillon'...hmm batter the pavillion??!?!?! Only after a few drinks maybe! :-) BTW all translations courtesy of google's translation online, so if its a load of rubbish im not taking responsibility.
Karolina has clearly behaved like a diva for the second occasion and demanded that she sings her eurovision entry entirely in english. Following their original refusal MKT finally agreed but only for a half macedonian, half english version. Agreed. Only the EBU refused...Poor girl; never seems to get a break!
Hungarian entrant Magdi is in trouble with the eurovision bosses; she apparantly performed part of her song during her IDOLS audition in early 2006......I know what your thinking.....they still put her through!!!! Bless her heart...can't see the ebu DQing her. In fact very few songs seem to get DQed nowadays as im sure the big bosses cant really be arsed with it all...its supposed to be a song contest not a bureacracy contest anyway...
Dont forget to keep up-to-date with the stage design on www.eurovisiondiary.com. They have put up the rigging so far by the looks of it. The Hartwall arena looks very similar to last years in Athens...Ooooh sooo exciting!
