<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
First indications of download charts saw some success for the winners Eldar and Nigar, Swedens Eric Saade, our London Friend from Denmark and Lena from Germany. Hungarian Kati Wolf pops up in various charts too. But the entries with most hit power turned out be <i>Lipstick</i> by Irelands Hyper Jumpers Jedward and Blue's <i>I Can</i>.<br />
<br /></div>

Many hits have disappeared from the charts after just one or two weeks.</div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-color: initial; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-style: none; border-top: medium none; border-width: medium;">
The Swedish charts are also an indication: last year 12 Eurovision songs entered the week after the contest, this year it was only one (Jedward).</div>

Raphael Gualazzi does well too and various charts also have picked up his album <i>Reality And Fantasy</i>. And if you check Jazz charts Gualazzi is all over them.</div>

The official album with all the entries is also selling, scoring several #1 positions and even doing very well in Australia.</div>

Eldar & Nigar had ditched the Ell/Nikki name they had thought up first but it was used in Eurovision anyway. <br />
So they decided to use it on the European singles and the new website too.<br />
Promos use the name Eldar and Nigar.<br />
<br />
The duo have have launched their Eurovision website at <a href="http://eldarnigar.eurovisiontalents.com/">Eurovision Talents</a>. <br />
The website is also available in <a href="http://eldarnigar.eurovisiontalents.com/ru/">Russian</a> and <a href="http://eldarnigar.eurovisiontalents.com/de/">German</a>.<br />

It was just bound to happen: A coverversion in Afrikaans has been recorded. David Fourie and Monique have transformed <em>Running Scared</em> into <em>My Hart Het Klaar Besluit</em> (My heart decided).<br />
The song will be released on the forthcoming David Fourie compilation album <em>Die Eerste Dekade</em> (the first decade), listen to a snippet <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/cdfourie">here at YouTube</a>. The album is now available on iTunes.<br />
The duo have also recorded an English version which you can see <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvALnusFNgo">here</a> at Select musiek.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">David Fourie has recorded other coverversions of Eurovision songs: Germany 1989, Norway 2003, Estonia 2002 plus a host of National final songs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Monique had a hit in South Africa with rapper Snotkop and their Afrikaans version of the Finnish 2009 entry <em>Lose Control</em> titled <em>Ek Val Vir Jou</em>. (</span><a href="http://eurocovers.blogspot.com/2010/07/monique-snotkop-ek-val-vir-jou.html"><span style="font-size: x-small;">listen here</span></a><span style="font-size: x-small;">)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">2012:</span> Coverversion from Estonia</span><br />
Jürmo Jurtom and Anne Loho have recorded an Estonian version of <i>Running Scared</i>. It is titled <em>Kardan, Et Järsku Kaod</em> and you can listen <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEcZ1yz2p3g">here</a>. The Estonian lyrics are written by Kaari Sillamaa, mother of Estonian almost Eurovision singer Janika Sillamaa.<br />
I don't have many details but it is digitally available from <a href="http://muusika24.ee/Muusika/artist/J%C3%BCrmo-Jurtom-Anne-Loho/performer">Muusika24.ee</a>. (Estonia only)<br />
Special thanks to Margo<br />
<br />
<strong>Coverversion to avoid:</strong><br />
Amazon.com and some local downloadshops are selling an MP3 by Running Scared titled <em>Running Scared</em>.<br />
It's a lame copy of the Eurovision song. I don't know why they are putting crap like that, maybe they hope we buy it by mistake or maybe they think we're idiots. <br />
Exactly he same version also appears on the album <em>Mr. Saxobeat Summer Hits</em> (and other compilations) under the moniker Bon Aero vs Daisy Duffy.<br />

A remix of <em>Madness Of Love</em> (English version) is included on the album <em>Reality And Fantasy - Special Edition</em>. It's mixed by Gilles Peterson. <br />
The collection also includes other bonus tracks including a coverversion of Fleetwood Mac's <em>Don't Stop</em> which was first released in 2010.<br />
Unfortunately the remix is only available on the digital issue on iTunes. The CD version does <u><strong>not</strong></u> have the <em>Madness Of Love</em> remix, which is (at least) to be frowned upon.<br />
The Special edition CD only has the regular Italian version <em>Follia d'Amore</em>.<br />

Helena's <em>Popular</em> is released on iTunes and possibly other digital sources.<br />
<br />
Other interval versions that have also been officially released in the past few years are:<br />
2010 - This Is My Life (Anna Bergendahl) in a rock version by Dynazty (in MF 2011)<br />
2009 - La Voix (Malena Ernman) rock version by Casablanca with Malena (in MF 2010)<br />
2008 - Hero (Charlotte Perrelli) Moto Boy with Charlotte Perrelli*, ballad version (in MF 2009)<br />
2007 - The Worrying kind (The Ark) - Acoustic version by Maya Hirasawa (in MF 2008)<br />
2006 - Invincible (Carola) - Acoustic ballad version by Thomas Andersson Wij (in MF 2007)<br />

They call the song <em>Populär</em>. Also on the same album is a version of the Norwegian entry <em><a href="http://dusseldorfeurovision.blogspot.com/2011/05/norway-haba-haba-stella-mwangi.html">Haba Haba</a></em>, now titled <em>Bada Bada</em>.</div>

Mika Newton (Мiка Ньютон born Oksana Hrytsai, Оксана Грицай) won the chaotic Ukrainian preselection process with the Russian language song <em>Angeli</em> (ангелы, Angels).<br />
After dissatisfaction with the validity of the results a rematch final was planned between the top three songs, but the other contestants <a href="http://eurocovers.blogspot.com/2011/04/one-that-got-away-jamala.html">Jamala</a> and Zlata Ognevich withdrew, leaving Mika with the Eurovision ticket.<br />
The song was performed in English at the contest.<br />
<br />
2012: <a href="http://malmoeurovision.blogspot.nl/search/label/Ukraine">Zlata Ognevich</a> went on to win the Ukrainian national final for Malmö 2013.<br />

At #1 there's another football anthem: <i>The Rocky Road To Poland</i> by various (jurassic) Irish artists. It's also is for charity and stresses that it is the OFFICIAL anthem, but it doesn't have anyone half as exiting as Jedward or any of the other Irish Eurovision stars for that matter.<br />

There is some confusion on Jedwards album releases, so here's what's going on:<br />
<em><strong>Planet Jedward</strong></em> was the duo's 2010 debut album including mostly coverversions from the Xfactor shows and featuring the twins two hits <em>Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby)</em> and <em>All The Small Things</em>.<br />
The forthcoming album (working title: Victory) will be out in August, but Universal Germany wants to cash in while Jedward are still hot and they have now released a new album also titled <em>Planet Jedward</em>. This one includes only a few of the tracks from the 2010 album (like the hits) but mostly new tracks which will also end up on the VictoryCD.<br />
To make things easier, the new <em>Planet</em> CD has the same picture cover as the old one.<br />

BHRTV haven chosen <strong>Dino Merlin</strong> to represent Bosnia-Hercegovina at the Düsseldorf contest.<br />
The song is titled <em>Love In Rewind</em> and is written by Dino himself.<br />
You can listen to the song <a href="http://www.dinomerlin.net/albums/love-in-rewind">here at Dino's website</a>.<br />
<br />
<em>Love In Rewind</em> is recorded in English with a few backing parts sung in Bosnian.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #274e13;">The song was also to be recorded in Bosnian (as <em>Sito</em>), French and German.</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13;">There was a competition on Dino Merlins website to write German and French versions of Love In Rewind. It seems the idea has not materialized into new versions on the available material.</span></div><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Defending The Title</span><br />
It's not the first time a Eurovision winner defends the title the following year, but it's way way back.<br />
1956 winner Lys Assia ended 8th (of 10) in 1957 and 1957 winner Corry Brokken ended 9th (and shared last) in 1958. Lena ended at a respectable 10th place.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Coverversions (and some crap)</span><br />
A few overversions have already popped up, some a bit more official than others.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Update: </span>A kiddy coverversion <i>Hey Ich Seh' Gespenster</i> (Hey, I see Ghosts) is released on the <i>CD Mission Keksplanet: Pop-Songs in neuer Umlaufbahn</i> (Mission Cookieplanet: Pop songs in new orbit). Kids sing new, German language version of popular (mostly 2011) hits. TBAS is done by <b>Jenny Nowack</b>.<br />
CD is out on Misarmusic.<br />
<br />
Ann-Madeleine is a German schlager singer and the inclusion of a copy of Taken By A Stranger on her Best OF CD is a bit strange.<br />
<a href="http://www.ann-madeleine.de/disco.html">Ann-Madeleine website</a><br />
<br />
A punkish version by <strong>Sven Dorau</strong> is available through Amazon downloads, that one is a good effort in an original style.<br />
Another cover available at various digital shops is an decent acoustic version by Michael Schulte. (<a href="http://www.we7.com/#/song/Michael-Schulte/Taken-by-a-stranger">listen here at We7</a>)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Avoid:</span> The same kind of lame names that 'covered' Lena's winner last year got their hands on TBAS too. All are digital releases to avoid: The True Star, Mirabelle, Favorite Star, Daisy Duffy (what a waste of a fab name), Star From Germany, Leila, Ann-Madeleine and a useless piano instrumental by Pianomusic.<br />
The True Star even calls their version a Lena Tribute. </div>

<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2013:</span> Even though <i>I Can</i> was quite successful, it took the blue boys almost two years to come up with the real comeback album, but it's finally here now. It's the first album of new material in 10 years.<br />
The album is titled <i>Roulette</i> and includes their recent single <i>Hurt Lovers </i>and next single<i> Black Box. I Can</i> (radio edit) is slapped on as the final track of the album. The CD is released in Germany/Austria/Switzerland and South Africa in Januari, but UK fans will have to wait until July.<br />
The CD is out on Island/Universal (0602537229963), you can hear snipcerpts of all tracks <a href="http://www.facebook.com/officialblue#!/officialblue/app_122061857965686">here at Blue's FB</a>.<br />
iTunes version will have two bonus tracks. Digital release is available in more countries.<br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Update</span><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
The UK issue (both digital and CD) does <b>not</b> feature <i>I Can</i>.<br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>Charts:</strong><br />
U.K.: 16, 26, 22, 80, -<br />
Ireland top 50: 34, -<br />
Switzerland top 75: 8, 31, 38, 58, -<br />
Austria top 75: 8, 28, 28, 36, 44, 59, -<br />
Germany top 100: 7, 24, 35, 39, 43, 51, 69, 79, -<br />
<em>I Can</em> also does well in various charts in Latvia, Lithuania and Belarus.<br />
<br />
Blue entered the U.K. top 40 at #16. After an initial #7 spot in the midweek charts it's a bit disappointing, but it's a good result.<br />
For several years the British entry was only released after the contest but the Blue men group people have seen the light. <br />
Josh Dubovie only made it to #179 or something, in 2009 Jade scored a #27. Andy Abraham got to 67 (2008). <br />
This century only two U.K. entries managed to score a top 10 hit: The most recent tone was by Scooch (<em>Flying The Flag</em>) in 2007, they got to #5. Daz Sampsons <em>Teenage Life</em> reached #8 in 2006.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Indigo </span><br />
Maja Keuc has released her new album <em>Indigo</em>. The 11 track CD has a new version of the Eurovision entry <em>No One</em> (just called <em>No One</em> remix).<br />
Don't expect a 140 bpm dancefloor filler though, the remix is a slow broody track with some grungy noise flavors. Very nice indeed. <br />
No other versions of the Eurovision entry are included on <em>Indigo</em>. <br />
It does include follow up single <em>Zmorem</em> and a cover version of Pinks <em>Get The Party Started</em>. Another track has the fascinating title <em>You're A Tree And I'm A Balloon</em>.<br />
The album has tracks in English as well as Slovenian.<br />
The album is out on Reflektor Music (3830048041737)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2012 Update:</span> A Slovenian remix* version is released in 2012. Vanilija - Remix can be found on the preselection CD Misija EMA 2012 which includes the six songs from the 2012 Slovenian final plus some extra tracks. <a href="http://bakueurovision.blogspot.com/2012/02/slovenia-eva-to-baku-listen-to-final.html">More details here.</a><br />
*The remix is different from the <i>No One</i> remix from the Indigo album.<br />

French TV (France 3) have selected classical crossover singer Amaury Vassili (Amaury Chautard) to represent the country at the Düsseldorf Contest.<br />
<br />
The song selected is <em>Sognu</em> (Dream) and is performed in the Corsican language.<br />
<em>Sognu</em> is written by Daniel Moyne and Quentin Bachelet with Corsican lyrics by Jean-Pierre Marcellesi.<br />
<br />
Now watch the preview video ad the official <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEb7hRo-Qyk&feature=player_embedded">Eurovision TV Youtube channel</a><br />
<br />
<br />
A cdsingle is out now, it features three versions:<br />
Sognu - Corsican<br />
I Would Dream About Her - English<br />
Sognu - Instrumental<br />
(Warner 8 25646 72691-2)<br />
<br />
The cdsingle also includes a link to 'Bonus, nouveautés and contenu exclusif' but it's only the <em>Making Of Sognu</em> video, and it requires registration which is silly of course.<br />
Karaoke version is available through the official Eurovision site shop.<br />
A French version is also said to be recorded, but it remains unreleased.<br />
<br />
An early promo cdsingle includes 1 track only. A promo DVD has a film about <em>the making of Sognu</em>.<br />

Kati (Katalin) Wolf (or Wolf Kati as her Hungarian friends calls her) will represent Hungary in Düsseldorf with the song <em>What About My Dreams</em>.<br />
<br />
The Eurovision version is an bilingual* version (English/Hungarian) of the original Hungarian version <em>Szerelem, Miért Múlsz.</em><br />
See versions below<br />
<br />
The music is written by <span style="color: black;">Viktor Rakonczai and Gergő Rácz. The Hungarian lyrics are by Péter Geszti, the English by Johnny Palmer.</span><br />
Rakonczai and Rácz were members of V.I.P. who represented Hungary in 1997 with <em>Miért kell, hogy elmenj?.</em> The conductor of the 1997 entry was Péter Wolf, yes, Kati's Papa.<br />
You can listen to <em>What About My Dreams </em>and the original Hungarian version <em>Szerelem, Miért Múlsz?</em> at the <a href="http://www.wolfkati.hu/">Kati Wolf website</a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dix Pas Cent Pas</span><br />
It was already announced many moons ago, but finally the French versions of <i>What About My Dreams</i> have been released in 2012. The song is called <i>Dix Pas Cent Pas</i> (Not (even) ten steps) and is created with Canadian DJ Marc Mysterio.<br />
There's three versions each in a radio edit and an extended version. The tracks are available at most digital sources (see versions)<br />
Promo cdsingles have popped up on e-bay, but I'm not sure they're legit.<br />

The singers name on the promo is spelled Ewelina Saszenko, which appears to be a Polish spelling. As the singer is of Polish - Ukrainian descent I'll give you the Ukrainian spelling too: Евеліна Сашенко.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Lithuanian and Polish versions</span><br />
In June Evelina has performed a version of <em>C'est Ma Vie</em> sung in Lithuanian (with the French bits still in French) as a guest on a Lithuanian TV talent show Žvaigždžių Duetai (Star Duets) (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfKaukIAXMU">Youtube</a>). <br />
She has also performed a Polish version <em>To Mój Świat</em> at a live <span style="background-color: white;">cabaret </span>show back in March. (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEV-mcz5NvU&feature=player_embedded">Youtube</a>). These version have not been released in any studio version (yet?).<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Piaf and Piazolla</span><br />
Evelina is currently touring with different programs:<br />
<em><strong>Love Stories According To Edith Piaf</strong></em> is a tribute to the legendary French singer. You can listen to some wonderful interpretations by Evelina Sašenko <a href="http://www.ewelina.lt/en/projektai/meils-istorijos-pagal-edith-piaff.html">here at her website</a>.<br />
<em><strong>Maria De Buenos Aires</strong></em> is a tango opera (operita) written in 1968 by Argentina legend Ástor Piazolla in which Sašenko stars alongside <span style="background-color: #e6ecf9;"><span style="background-color: white;">Eugene Chrebtovas and a 7-piece tango orchestra.</span></span><br />
