Congratulations Austria and Conchita.

Congratulations Austria. Even thought, I would had liked to see Sweden to win this years Eurovision Song Contest, it was so good to see that Austria won. Conchita showed the world, you can be, who you are and still win. What a fantastic evening it has been from Denmark. We saw, that it does not matter, are you hetero, gay, lesbian or transvestite,  what matters is person self and in this contest even the song and personality and melody and so many other things.
It was very brave from her to represent Austria. Everything is possible if we want in this life, what seems to be so full of prejudice.
Congratulations also to Sanna and to Sweden in proud third place. I really loved this years song. It was a wonderful song. Hopefully we will see her another times in Eurovision.
In the same time, it was sad to see that in my opinion, so many countries made the competition too political. At least it is my own opinion. It is bit sad, but that's life and we can't do nothing else, than just accept.  It feels like some countries giving votes to neighbors and other similar countries. Perhaps one day, we will see the competition as it should be - judging and voting for the songs.

See you next year in May and see, what will happen in Austria. Will be interesting to see, who will win there.

Have a nice evening and sleep well!

Eurovision Song Contest 2014,

Another evening in front of the TV has been gone to the evening. In the evening it was time to Eurovision Song Contest from Copenhagen again. This time was time for Lithuania, Finland and Norway. My fingers was crossed bit for Norway, since I thought that the song was very nice and I would like to see it on Saturday as well.
On the other hand this semifinal had several interesting performances. One from Poland and another from Austria. Respect for Austria. It was nice to see, that someone have courage to do it. I am also for that we live in 2014 and we all should have equal rights, since we live in free and democratic world.
Now, I will have to wait Saturday to see, who will win Eurovision. In small bit, I have hope that Sanna would win, but I would not be sad either if it is Norway this time.

Have a nice evening,
                                    Ingrit

Congratulations Sweden,

Congratulations Sweden. In Saturday at least 2 of my favorite countries will sing on European Song Contest. After todays first semifinal Sweden went further to final on Saturday and Denmark is already together with other 5 big countries, since they won last year.
Unfortunately Estonia is out  for this year, even thought that I thought they had one of the better songs after some years. It is bit sad, that I do not see, my own home country in final, but hopefully they have better luck next year. That will make perhaps, that next year Estonia will  choose bit better song.
Now, we will have to wait until Thursday to see, what semifinal 2 will bring with it. When it is Finland and Norway's turn.

Love,

Ingrit

Eurovision 1 semifinal - Estonia - Tanja and her Amazing,

Today it is that day again, when we can start to follow the Eurovision Song Contest 2014.  This time it is in Copenhagen, since last year Denmark won ESC in Malmö.
Today's one of the performance comes from Estonia - Tanja and song Amazing. I hope of course that the song will get one of the places in final on Saturday, but in the same time, never don't know, what might happen. I have not listened other songs, so I do not know, how it is. It just will be time to see, what will happen.
In those days, I miss little my time in Denmark only. Specially on Saturday, because, then we was many Estonians who met and had good evening together. Here, nothing like that have been during the last 4,5 years I have lived in Sweden. It is bit sad, but here I have not met that warm togetherness, what was in Denmark. We had good food, everyone made small bet who is the winner and so on and on.
Have a nice afternoon and we will meet again after first semifinal,

 Ingrit

Thank you Malmö,

Congratulations Denmark!!
It was amazing to see Denmark to win! Same time it is no surprise, since the song was wonderful! That means that next year's Eurovision Song Contest will be held somewhere in beautiful Denmark. Will be interesting to see where it will be held and how it will go to all Nordic countries as well as to Estonia.
This year Estonia had not very much luck, but at least we did not end in last place as previous year. We managed to gather together 19 points. Of course, it is not very much, but it is there. Felt little bit sorry for Ireland since they ended last place. There was some songs what was worse than this, but that it is people who is voting and choosing their favorite as well as jury panel. So some songs placement was surprise as others was not so much! One thing I am happy, that Denmark won.
Eurovision show it self was very good. It had it's own effects and Host Petra Mede made it well. Liked the small clips what was between some performances as  well performance from Sarah Dawn Finer.
Sleep well and have a nice dreams!

Soon it is time,

Soon it is time for this years Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden. Last 2 nights with semifinals has been interesting, but I am very sure, that today's final will be much more interesting.
6 countries was already passed to final as usually and then from final in Tuesday joined first 10 countries and last 10 countries joined with finalists from semifinal in Thursday.
As it came out, then all Nordic countries came through to final together with Estonia. It will be interesting evening. I am sure on that. As I have listened now both semifinals and the songs what has been went further I am still fond of Danish song and in some reason, I do hope that this song will win, but it is not sure before the end of the Song Contest. At least I can hope.
I liked that some songs was in the singers native language. I know, that it is hard to understand what do they sing, but usually can see it on translations. It is just nice to hear different languages, what we do not hear often. In the same time it gives different emotions for the Eurovision.
From the semifinals I must admit I really liked the small breaks with Lynda Woodruff. That character is played by Sarah Dawn Finer. Really funny bits. I am waiting already todays scenes. Will be fun to see, what will happen today. Last time she managed miss Malmö and ended up in Copenhagen. It felt like Malmö was small city, so that could be managed to pass without seeing it. At least it was fun.
Already from the morning program in TV they was on the road to Eurovision. It was interesting to see different thoughts and interviews.  
So, soon it is only 1,5 hours left for the show.  First will be last program before Eurovision Song Contest and when let the show begin.
I would like to wish you all a wonderful evening, good music and let your favorite country win! For me, I hope winner will be Denmark!

Have a wonderful evening!

Ready for final,

 

Today's semifinal is now finished and 10 more countries are ready to join with the 16 countries, whom is already is on final. After today's semifinal all Nordic countries - Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Island is represented in final and also my home country Estonia. The interesting part was that our southern neighbor Latvia, went not further to final.
One of my favorite song today was from Romania and it seemed that many other countries liked it as well, since it went also to final. It was nice to see opera mixed together with pop music.

 Another very nice song came from Georgia. Today came out also that this song was written by Swedish authors. Same one who wrote the Loreens winning song in last year Eurovision Song Contest.

Now I just have to wait until Saturday to see, who will win all the Eurovision Song Contest and which country will hold the contest next year.

Have a nice night and sleep well!!

Eurovision Song Contest - 2nd semifinal,

Today it is time for Eurovision again. It is second semifinal. 10 more countries will need to go further to final in Saturday. I must admit, that I have not looked yet, which countries have best songs, because in some reason it is more fun to look when you do not have listen songs before and can see their presentations as they have to fight for the place. Sweden will not perform tonight again, they are in one of the countries who was lucky to get directly to final in Saturday.
It will nice to look something else and listen some music :) Will see, who goes further to final today.

Have a nice evening!

We are one,

As the result of the first Eurovision Song Contest semifinal, my home country Estonia is further in final on Saturday. I must admit, that I am very happy over it, but also little bit surprised because seemed that this year there was so many ballads and single singers. Same time, I am also happy that Denmark went further. In deed I must admit, that I liked Denmark's song more, than I liked Estonian song. That makes Saturday's Eurovision Song Contest final more interesting, since three countries I hold, all three are there represented - Denmark, Sweden and of course Estonia. Will be fun to see, which country till get highest score and place :)
I have already decided, that in Saturday i will keep and hold my fingers for Denmark.

Here is Denmark's contribution for this year. I think that this song was and is very nice. Something for my taste.

Now, there is to wait Thursday and second semifinal. It will be nice to see, which will be other 10 countries who will go further to final in Saturday and compete against Estonia, Denmark and Sweden.

Have a nice evening and good night!!

Eurovision Song Contest - 1st semifinal

Today starts the Eurovision song contest again, for this year. Today will also my home country Estonia sing this years contribution and then we can see, will the song go all the way to final in Saturday or not.
There has been so many opinions how the result for today will be, so for it is just to look in front of TV and perhaps to hope that song is good enough that people will choose it to go further to final.  Would be nice to see it together with Sweden in final. It will be then small betting camp who will became the best place. For now, it will just to hope to survive the evening.

Have a nice evening!

Congratulations Sweden,

Yesterday was again night, when millions of people sat in front of TV and looked Eurovision Song Contest 2012 in Baku, Azerbaijan. Including me :D Just missing bit the tradition we had both in Denmark and Ireland, that we gathered together and watched Eurovision together and had small party.
During a semifinals went both Estonia and Sweden further to final together with Denmark and Norway. One way it was good, since that does not happen always :) At least not for Estonia, that they are going further. Last year we had that opportunity after many years. Only last year we came last place, but we was on final at least. The same time Sweden came third place last year. This year, they took jackpot and won all the competition.

I am happy, that this year we did not end in last place, but managed to gather together so much points, that we ended in sixth place. The thing I liked, was that he sang in Estonian and not in English as most did.

So in the end, I think it was wonderful evening and good for both countries. Now we just have to wait and see, how it will be in next year, when the Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Sweden :)

Swedish Eurovision Songcontest part 1,

 

Today started in Sweden a first part out of 6 to find a Swedish song, what will represent Sweden in May on European Songcontest 2011 in Dusseldorf. Usually I don't look it because I don't like it. At least not the first parts when they trying to find the song what should represent Sweden. I must admit that I find it booring. Usually if I look it, then I look the big festival, where all European countries are represented.
Today I am looking it because I am not at home, but I am in my soon father-in-laws home and he seems to like to look it.
So far the songs what have been showed, I feel like one might have a small potential, but others have not after my opinion. Now will see how sounds melody nr. 7. Beginning is not not the best.
Have a nice evening my dear readers.

Congratulations Germany,

So, this years Eurovision song contest has been held and winner announced. Congratulations Germany for the winning the European song contest this year. Next year will be held it in Germany. One way it is nice that different countries wins, since then can be seen different shows and as they told, Germany won last time in 1982, so after more than 20 years, it is good time to win.



On the other hand, it was nice to see that the singer was really surprised and did not know what to do, when they announced her as a winner. It was cute. Sometimes it is interesting to see peoples reactions since then you can see how do they feel. And seemed that she did not believed in the beginning that she won. But anyway, Congratulations for Germany. See you next year :)
