Switzerland Song Revamped

Michael von der Heide

Last weekend in the Latvian final Michael von der Heide sang the new version of Il pleut de l’or. The chorus is slightly jazzed up but otherwise the song is the same, and he is still wearing the remainders of the curtains in his grannies, which must be causing some itching as there is a lot of hopping going on.

It involves a lot of horses, accordions and snow. There is a charm to it but I still don’t think it will do any good at all, which is a pity.

Finland will be represented by Kuunkuiskaajat with Työlki ellää in the first semi final on Tuesday 25 May.

BBC scraps ‘Doctor Who’ for ‘Eurovision’

BBC scraps 'Doctor Who' for 'Eurovision'

The BBC has postponed an episode of Doctor Who on Saturday, May 29, citing that night’s Eurovision Song Contest as the reason. However, it is believed that talent show Any Dream Will Do has escaped the cut and will still be shown.

Coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest is scheduled to begin at 8pm, meaning that the BBC would have to screen its regular Saturday night line-up much earlier to accommodate the annual event. In the end, the corporation opted to postpone Doctor Who rather than show it in a much earlier time slot as has been the case recently.

The Doctor Who episode, entitled ‘42’ and guest-starring Michelle Collins, will now be shown the following week on Saturday, May 19 at an unspecified time.

The BBC has faced much criticism from fans of Doctor Who for its erratic scheduling of the third season. Closely linked to a fixed 7pm Saturday evening time slot during the previous two years, the family drama has been bounced around the schedules in the last month, often being screened earlier and confounding many viewers in the process.

May we have your votes please?

Written by StylingOchConsulting. Posted in ESC Final, Eurovision History

The voting sequence at the Eurovision Song Contest has thrown up a couple of funny situations throughout the years…

Nice to hear Gay Byrne in 1967; “I thought we were going to be left out!” Fionnuala Sweeney mistakeningly giving the Netherland’s douze points to Niamh Kavanagh in 1993 is another Irish highlight!
