After two decades, Al Bano and Romina Power will reunite professionally, if not personally in Moscow. For those of you who don't know who they are, Romina (granddaughter of American screen idol Tyrone Power) and Albano were a singing duo and also a married couple. They were a huge hit in Italy, and found some minor success in neighboring countries with "Felicita", "Sempre Sempre", and "Liberta". And what does this have to do with Eurovision? They competed twice in the 1976 and 1984, achieving 7th place both times. Their marriage (not to mention their career together) ended in 1999, due to the strains of the disappearance of their daughter Ylenia, who mysteriously vanished in New Orleans around 1994. Since then, they formed their own separate somewhat successful careers.sanserifhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00342767432603821591noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3746547291199439239.post-68944296382901822022013-03-22T15:57:00.000-07:002013-03-22T15:57:45.107-07:00ALL SONGS CHOSENWell, everybody has chosen songs. Along the way was drama from Macedonia and Belarus, and much bad English. It's a shame how most of these songs are absolute crap, but the songs that aren't trash are golden. My favorites are France, Denmark, Serbia, Cyprus. Israel and Ukraine. Let's see how it all plays down.sanserifhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00342767432603821591noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3746547291199439239.post-34183309610823864192013-03-18T19:19:00.001-07:002013-03-18T19:19:26.940-07:00NOT A MILLION FOR MOLDOVALooks like Miss Moon isn't singing <i>A Million,</i> but rather, <i>O Mie</i>, the Romanian version. And with that we have a lot of countries sticking to their national languages. Hooray for them!sanserifhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00342767432603821591noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3746547291199439239.post-78532176801728099392013-03-17T07:00:00.003-07:002013-03-17T07:02:49.099-07:00WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, MACEDONIA?Looks like MRT has finally lost it. They entered an awesome song, <i>Imperija</i>, and because some people didn't like it, they changed it. Bad decision. They changed to a song that people like even less. This year, they definitely won't qualify. Well, Belarus, you finally have someone join you in the light of disgrace.sanserifhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00342767432603821591noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3746547291199439239.post-61543532062913660752013-03-17T06:54:00.001-07:002013-03-17T06:54:20.480-07:00Aliona Moon wins in Moldova<br />

Looks like Pasha Parfeny is on Moldova's team... as the composer. 24-year-old Aliona Moo<br />
n won with the song <i>A Million</i>. Nice song, but a little too repetitive for my taste. I personally would have preferred <i>Never Fall Again </i>(sorry girls, try again next year), but this is fine with me. Pasha should be proud of his successor and entrant.<br />
<br />
Prediction: Will make to final, but not land in the top 10<br />
<br />
P.S. Now that almost all of the songs have chosen (I'm looking at you, Italy), I will post the list of songs that will compete for the Eurovision crown and dignity.sanserifhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00342767432603821591noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3746547291199439239.post-4488225804007917352013-03-16T08:41:00.001-07:002013-03-18T19:19:50.936-07:00Lyrics to Serbian entry: Ljubav je svuda by Moje 3Lyrics and translation:<br />

Out with Valentina's bubblegum teenage look, and in with a more mature look that suits Valentina. <i>Crisalide</i> is a Europop song that could also be classified as a ballad. I absolutely love the fact she is singing in her native language. It's what keeps the traditional feeling alive; singing in your national language. Either way, the song is very nice and has a good chance of passing to the Final. Good luck to San Marino!<br />
