If you think of a harpist, you probably picture an old lady in the corner of an orchestra performing a classical symphony with a bunch of much older musicians. Well, this is certainly not the case here! Habiba is not your typical harpist. Combining the harp with her folk soulish voice to make contemporary songs is genius. With a little more promotion and the release of her debut album coming, this one could be a hit and I hope it's one, we need more artists like Habiba nowadays.

UPDATE: Pyke Pos is cut!! Sim'Ran was in the B2.
Last week, Ed Ruyer was cut in one of the most surprising boots of the season, given that he was a clear frontrunner and one of the favourites since his audition. The problem is that he wasn't delievering, while the other acts kept improving. Tonight, the top 5 will sing once more two songs each, on the Summer Jam theme. Who will be cut tonight? Will be the last girl, over or boy? Or will it be the second group leaving? ... It's time to face the music!

What's exactly the meaning of the phrase "Best for Last"? Well, basically to leave with a bang. But, why not starting with one? That's why we're starting with Case Mayfield, a Dutch indie folk musician which may be much more interesting that at first sight. Right now, Case is putting the final touches in his debut album, "The Many Colored Beast", which definitely won't dissapoint. He has a great concept going on and I wouldn't be surprised if his unique apporach takes the world by storm! He's a synesthetic and that only says one word to me, amazing!

Dutch Week!
10:17 PM
After a tight battle the dutchs won over the swedes by one vote! Both countries certainly have great talent and I would have been glad to feature any of them, and given the amounts of votes the swedes and norwegians, who were 3rd, recived, I'm giving you the chance to vote for them again for the next theme! And I'm clarifying, it'll last until all artists are featured. But now, let's explore what Netherlands has to offer ...

Or will it be someone who has never been there? ... It's time to face the music!

Music Video: Lauren Pritchard: Stuck
23 May, 2011 12:17 AM
The always amazing Lauren Pritchard, who was the 8th placer in the MDS Sound of 2011, is here once more with her new single, my personal favourite from her, the incredible "Stuck". The song was realeased on February 28, while the music video premiered ten days before. As expected, the video is really beautiful and show Lauren and her "boyfriend" escaping from prision apparently. Despite that, the song is really great and the video actually makes a lot of sense. She definitely one of my favourites this year, so anything she releases will be great for me but I'm confident this soulish song will impress you.

2:41 PM
A former contestant of Slovenia's Got Talent in 2010, Maja Keuc is now the country's entry for Eurovision, hoping that this talented singer will break the sixteen Slovenian defeats. With a rather supernatural air, Maja breaks into big notes while walking through the woods with a microphone and several ninjas trying either to kill her for her amazing singing skills or for revealing their hiding spot. Well, someone prevent them from killing her! That would be tragic! The best Eurovision singer killed by a group of wierd dancing ninjas!

Eurovision 2011: Bulgaria's Entry: Poli Genova: Na inat
2:18 PM
Having only made it to the final only once, where they came 5th, in six attempts, Eurovision is clrearly a deception among Blugarian watchers. So, they selected Poli Genova. She's been trying to represent the country for four years, so they thought, why not? Poli has a great voice, a cool look and will sing in our national language, let's pick her! Yeah, that's what they said. Now, Bulgaria is hoping they made the right decision. Will Poli make it to the final? Will she win? I'll tell you this, Poli is a great singer and may crack into the final, even in a top 10 position but to win this, you may want to consider an English song ...

Eurovision 2011: Denmark's Entry: A Friend In London: New Tomorrow
2:05 PM
Fronted by Tim Schou, this indie rock band will certainly end their Eurovision run with a great position. With a really soft voice, the song lyrics are really easy to understand. It's actually impressive to see him performing, you'll never expect that voice looking at his face! He seems to be about to make sick rock shouts, instead, the song advances pleasantly with some moments in it, making it one of the best songs this year. Denmark's 3rd victory? Probably!

Oh! What a nice surprise! Great song, great voices and so catchy! I love it when they mix soulful voices with rappers and that's exactly what they do! Having only won Eurovision once, in 2002 with Marie N and having not made it to the final for two years, Latvia will be back on the game this one! Musiqq's song is modern and fresh and I know that it'll captivate the audience like it did to me! Will they win? Not exactly, but they'll make it to the final! At least Latvia will be happy!

Winner of the Eurovision in 1998, one of the world's most famous transsexuals, Dana International, is back once more with her self penned song "Ding Dong". What can I say? I don't dig this at all! Good vocals but a really lame song. I still don't get it if the song is about ringing a bell or about calling someone, either way, it's equally cheesy and boring. Good to have you back? Not really, but good try!

Eurovision 2011: Ireland's Entry: Jedward: Lipstick
11:28 AM
The infamous Jedward duo is here! Sadly, though, I can't say it was worth the wait. Jedward's "Lipstick" attempts to be funny in their typical, slapstick style, but the effect feels forced and ultimately is pretty short on the jokes, as is the video. Disappointing, really; it captures none of the magic that made them one of the most endearing guilty pleasures UK's X-Factor has seen. If this was going to be the end product, maybe Ireland should have tried to field an act with an actual shot of winning?

Eurovision 2011: Belarus's Entry: Anastasia Vinnikova: I Love Belarus
11:28 AM
Considering the multinational affair that is Eurovision, it's actually somewhat surprising that more of the submitted songs actually aren't more frequently nationalist self-promotion pieces. That said, maybe it's because few of them actually turned out better than "I Love Belarus". The "up! with! Belarus!" anthem is an embarrassingly corny attempt at mixing post-disco with a traditional dulcimer. Things are helped little by a video which includes dancers who would feel kitschy and overdone on "It's A Small World", less than in a music video. Anastasia's voice is perfectly serviceable; it's a nice, husky instrument with some real power to boot.

Eurovision 2011: Ukranie's Entry: Mika Newton: Angel
2:12 AM
Being Ruslana the only Ukranian winner, Mika Newton has a heavy weight over ger shoulders! But with a voice like that, it shouldn't be hard for her! Mika is not only beautiful but has great pipes to back that, with a great raspy almost rocker tone. The song, is wierdly set in a circus, I'd like to know what is that about but it still makes some sense, it's not that wierd after all. Things look good for Ukranie with this great song, who knows? Maybe Mika is the winner!

I love how their voices merge, it's so harmonical. This is definitely one of the best songs I've herad, I don't doubt that I'll impress everyone! Will this be Belgium second win? I hope it is! And if it's not, I'll so buy thier album when they release it! Mind blowing!

I'll give you points from bringing something different but this is bad. It's really bad! Well, I could go on but I won't. Overall, the song is repetitive, shouty and has horrible lyrics. Another song that shouldn't have been here!

Formed by Jan Dulles, Jaap Kwakman and Jaap de Witte, oh, I got their name now! (Laughs), this dutch band will try bringing the crown back or at least make it to the final after six failed attempts of even classifying. 3JS has had a really successful carrer and this will surely give that a boost. With a sweet rock song and their charm, it'll be a shock if they are cut in the semi-final, this song deserves a 10 place at least. They are breaking their semi-final curse after all!

Well, the lead, David Bryan, is actually British, but his friends aren't, just saying ... Having only achieved a 3rd position two times, Romania is hoping that their fellow vampires will take the crown back home with thier song "Change", a powerful pop song, great vocals and cool instrumentation. Well, maybe they can win this time, after all they can hypnotize the audience into voting for them. And I was saving the jokes for myself ....

After three unsuccessful tries for Eurovision, Macedonians new hope is Vlatko Ilievski, a well known actor and singer in the country. Well, Macedonia will have another deception this year. Despite the songs clear reflection of their national music, it fails to impress the regular listener, that is, the non Macedonians. Vlatko looks incredibly creepy and out of his mind in this video and her voice is too raspy, and I usually enjoy raspy voices, but this is too much! If Macedonia ever wants to win this, they really need to step up their game and stop bringing mentally insane people as their picks ...

With a very successful carrer in former Yugoslavian countries which spans for almost 30 years, the bosnian singer, Dino Merlin, is hoping to win the crown for his country, which has always advanced to the final but never has won. Will Dino be the first Bosnian winner ever? Unlikely, but possible! With this pop rock tune and his amazing soulful vocals, he may actually have a shot of taking it all! He may need to defeat some of the favourites but I think he can actually achieve a good position with this, let's hope he does.

Now they are back with their own performance, marking Slovakia's 6th participation. Their parents must be glad that they had twins, cause now they've two great singers! The song is a bit, well, it's actually really cheesy and almost annoying. But their voices are actually really sweet and soft, plus the song is really catchy, I'm singing it as I write!. Do I think they will win? Well, they may make it to the final, but not win the crown.

Having only won Eurovision one time, in 1966 with Udo Jürgens, and following a long list of defeats, Austria's hoping that RnB/pop singer and winner of Starmania, an Austrian Idol like show, Nadine Beiler will be the one who finally takes the crown back home after 45 years. But is that possible for her? No, it's not. She's got a great voice but the song is really cheesy and a typical love power ballad. The only good thing in the song are her almost effortless high notes. I don't doubt that this song and her upcoming album, which is released May 13, after her performance, will be a success. But not in Eurovision.

Catchy and straight classy pop, this british beauty impresses once more with her highly addictive sound and her stunning looks. It's almost hipnotizing!

Music Video: Spark: Crave
1:16 AM
Back in December, I introduced Spark to you. Her style was quirky and slightly jazzy with some pop beats. Now, Spark seems to have moved to a more electronic/pop sound. Her new single, "Crave" is a highly electronic driven tune with some almost creepy scenes. Though I still feel her jazzy voice there, this is really different from what I was expecting. I loved "Revolving", this is really good, the chorus is nice, but the lyrics seem a bit shallow. That said, I want her to do something similar to "Revolving" for her next single, cause that's the direction I think is the best for her. At least, I now know what I expect if Spark ever stalks me!

Kimbra was one of the artists featured on the MDS Sound of 2011, where she made it into the top 12, a New Zealand singer, she charmed me and the voters with her strange dance moves and her amazing voice. Now we hava a new music video from Kimbra! The song, "Cameo Lover", which is her second single from her upcoming album Vows, is a fresh catchy colourful song only in the way Kimbra can do it! I'm so blown away with this new song! She's keeping the doll look and the jazzy quirky beats that her first single, "Settle Down" had. But "Cameo Lover" tops her previous material. I'm incredibly excited to hear her album!

Winner of the first edition of the Greek X Factor, Loukas Giorkas, a Cypriot singer, is joining forces with Stereo Mike and both are performing a Greek/English song "Watch My Dance" at Eurovision's first semi final. Hoping to take home the second win after Helena Paparizou won in 2005, their song is rather old fashioned, something that Greek music has. I don't know why but they always sound boring and old for me. Sure, Loukas has a great voice but this song doesn't impress me. It'll be a miracle if he gets through the first semi.

Currently a music student, she will represent her country and try to win their first crown. Lithuania's best shot was 6th with LT United in 2006, so Evelina is a light in the dark for them!

The 6 piece band, all musicians, will perform their take on "Coming Home", a sweet folky jazzy ballad. I confess I'm not a fan of boybands but this one is different.They are all amazing singers plus they don't have that cursiness that boybands have. They are true artists who can really perform, and do it beautifully. Great back story, great song, great voices, Eurovision seems good for Iceland! Will this be the countries first crown?

After winning, unexplicablly, the portuguese "Festival da Canção 2011" Homens da Luta, created by Vasco Duarte and Nuno Duarte are hoping that their parody of 70s music will make them win Eurovision. And of course they won't, this is simply one of the worst songs I've seen in a while, it's not even catchy, nor fun, plus it's horribly sang, and well, obviously it is, cause they aren't singers! Major fail Portugal, major fail! I encorauge you to classify this either as sad or boring.

After they run on Milli Seçim Turu 2010, Azerbaijan's national selection, where they both applied as solists, Eldar Gasimov (Ell) and Nigar Jamal (Nikki) where selected to represent the country as a duo, with the song "Running Scared". This being the country's 4th participation on Eurovision, they are hoping to take the crown for the first time, after achieving great positions in previous years, 3rd with AySel and Arash and 5th with Safura. With two really good singers, this entry seems to be a great contender for the win. My problem with it is that it's a bit cheesy and doesn't have the ethnic and folky charm that previous entries had, so I'm not sure it can actually win.

Eurovision 2011: Serbia's Entry: Nina: Čaroban

Does Nina knows we're not in the 60s anymore? It seems she doesn't! Representing Serbia with "Čaroban" this retro soulish singer will impress Europe with this colorful 60s inspired performance! This is one of my favourites right now! I'll be so pissed if she's cut! Her voice is awesome, lots of different colours in it, (I can't belive how cheesy I am) and the way she reaches that notes is magical, maybe that's the reason the song is titled like that. Having recorded two versions of the song, a serbian and an english one, the question was which song was she performing. As she should've done it in the first place, Nina will perform in her native language, where her amazing voice shows beautifully. Let's hope she does well, fingers crossed!

With a similar sound to Paramore's, Eldrine is for sure making everyone move with this song! Rapper's appearence is a bit unnecesary but still, this whole song is really good!

Senit's got an incredible sweet soft voice, really jazzy indeed and her curls look beautiful! Plus San Marino's views are amazing, I totally want to visit the country after this! So does this song will make her win and put San Marino back in the map? Maybe ...

Considered an Armenian pop icon, Emmy, whose carrer launched in 1993 with the song "Hayastan", will represent the country after winning the national preselection. I must confess I really like her voice and her song is so catchy! Very disco/pop indeed. Emmy's got a distinctive tone and can also nail the big notes, so if she doesn't advance to the final, it won't be because of her voice. It'll be because the song is too wierd, but hey, Lena won, so why Emmy cannot?

Definitely the worst song award goes to Glen Vella this year. He's been trying to participate in Eurovision since 2005, taking part on Malta Eurosong three times, the Maltese audience decided to let him win so they don't have to see him anymore. His voice isn't bad actually, what's bad here is the cheesy and cliched song he was given. The only interesting thing in this video is the multi-coloured hair girl, gosh, I wish she was the performer!

With two albums to date, being the first one a success on Turkey, Yüksek Sadakat fronted by Kenan Vural was the act selected to represent the country on May 10. The question is, was it the right decision? They are not the usual Eurovision material. They have this hard rock vibe and a really good pop/rock sound but I fear that the audience may actually be turned off because of their song, "Live it Up". Kenan has a great voice and I hope they can advance to the final, though I think it's unlikely.

Quirky Fallulah was really nice to answer some questions for me after I was blown away with her amazing talent. With balkan folklore influences and her indie wierd voice, Fallulah's music is clearly distinguishable and unique.
