ESC 2010 was a long string of more or less forgettable ballads. A few decent ones allright, but when a ballad lacks passion and achy breaky hearts and all that stuff, it sort of just falls flat on the ground. So this week's Retro Sunday is a tribute to one of those truly memorable ballads, that is still standing strong some almost 20 years down the line:
With a song only lasting for about 2:30, this quintessential Latino Lover kept it short and sweet, following one of the most important recipes for success; always leave the crowd wanting more. Cause how can we get enough of his amazing smile and soft, dark brown Bambi eyes, perfectly contrasted by his sexy whiskey voice? Watching this today, it almost feels a bit over the top, but we can tell you one thing, that was not the case back in 91 when we where in junior high, if you catch our drift. So Spain, how about you giving us something similar to drool over in Germany next year, that's actually kind of what we expect of you every year, you know!

My Little Pony doing Massiel
Remember fab Ola Innset from My Little Pony, interviewed by us last week? We told you they covered the Spanish winning entry from 1968, Massiel's Lalala. It was actually at a festival in Spain in 2008, where Massiel was the guest of honor while celebrating 40 year since Spain's first Eurovision victory. Now Ola has proved himself to be some darling and sent us the video of it all. Thnx, hon!
"It doesn't matter if it's from Eurovision or not as long as it is a good. We like to interpret other people's songs, and would be happy to play more previous Eurovision entries if they are good enough", Ola says. Now that would please GEE almost as much as if My Little Pony took part in ESC themselves. In the meantime, please take a look at this sweet little thing. If that doesn't bring out the love in you, nothing ever will.

How hard could it have been? Part 1: Russia, Greece, Serbia and Spain
So did you think we'd shut up about the second chance contenders? Oh no, not us. Here's our ruthless reviews:
The entry from Russia is the breathless Antonello Carozza. We think the song Senza Respiro suits the current situation in Moscow pretty darn well, but apart from that, what does it suit exactly? Safe to say all things Italian make GEE girls pop, but this is a bit too much of the language in one blow. We keep wondering when the fellow is gonna catch his breath and actually sing. That part is kinda nice, but we only really enjoy Carozza's flirty glance and how he makes us miss Italy (not Russia) in Eurovision. Hop back on your carriage, man.
Since Eurovision, the record Giorgos Alkaios gave us has been spinning at every party. Guess no one could have beaten the Opa! in the Greek final, but couldn't they at least have maxed the envelope? The boring piano, stiff moves and whiny look of Giorgos Karadimos just makes us bored out of our senses. Would have been much cooler to see the cuties of Melisses getting a second chance than this robocop.
We did love Milan this year, but we have to say Emina Jahović helps him keep Serbia on the Eurovision throne. She perhaps should have picked up a few clothing hints from her male challenge, but she sure can swing her hips. And swinging your hips is hard not to do to at this Easter European festa. We applaud the sentence "love is moussaka", feel like smashing a few plates and go all sh sh sh and ding dong ding dong from now on. Please give us more of this, Serbia. Plenty more. And can someone please tell us if maca really means pussy? In that case there's extra points for vulgarism.
Despite our despise of bagpipes, Coral from Spain also deserves some attention. She is a pretty lady singing a pretty song that follows all the Eurovision rules. Kinda Rocky Jr 2 and a bit to much screaming towards the end, but still good. It sure is a weird thing Daniel was the one to catch the Jimmy Jump award, but maybe just as well?
Two fine ladies and two not so fine men here, then. We'll give you more later, but our favorite this far is without doubt the reds:

Jump against racism
Well, this lad looks kinda familiar!
(pic from vg.no)
We can't quite make up our minds whether this Jimmy Jump is just bloody annoying or if he's actually kinda of cool... After all, he's harmless and we do like his message to the world this time. So we say, go for it!

Well played: Some guys well suited
Eurovision 2010 turned out to be a suited competition among the male contenders. We're like ok, when did we enter the funeral of Mr USA? Not exactly Tom Ford all of those guys. But still, there are some bright stars on the tailored heaven. Let's take a closer look.
The well groomed pretty boys were fighting for attention in dark suits this year. As previously mentioned, Didrik went all accountant unchick for the big final. It's best left without further comments. UK Josh tried at least a little bit harder, but still, way too preppy and safe for our taste. And some of his outfits at other times just made us lose faith completely. We really do recommend Josh to stay away from light grey and his father's closet for the next twenty years.
Seriously, Josh, how can anyone respect you when you make an old woman in purple look better than you? No more grey and untailored for you, please.
One man, however, managed to nail us all to the wall. And thank you Didrik and Josh for showing us how hard suiting a suit could be. For Israeli Harel Skaat, stylist Gal Apple was all successful. We love the combination of an open shirt and a tight suit. It balances perfectly between relaxed and sharp. And the suit itself is just perfect and need we say very lucky, clinging to Harel's great body. He did indeed sound kind of proud of the design by Yossi Katzaw when we interviewed him the other day. And now we get it. There is really nothing more to say. Just keep watching.
Yes, man. This IS the way to suit a suit. And ripping off that shirt is very hard not to do.
Then there were a couple of more independently suited men. Spain's Daniel Diges decided to bring us something tiny in something shiny. Have to say this is not math class, so two bad things does not equal one good. The curly Spaniard fascinated us for some other reason: His ability to look absolutely amazing in photos while not looking very good at all in real life. We mean, of course we get the concept of being photogenic, but that was the extreme version. We kept holding the picture taken a minute ago up to his face to see if it really was the same person. It was creepy. Either we need glasses, or we need a class or two from this guy. Come pick him up, Tyra!
"Well, who cares how I look? Jimmy Jump is supposed to cover me"
Still, Daniel's suit didn't even look good in photos. Space age ended at least ten years ago, man, and how is it even possible to make such a shiny suit look so beyond casual? Please, get a new stylist and stay in the image. But hey, this was supposed to be about something good, and something good really did come out of Estonia this year. Malcolm Lincoln's Robin Juhkental really did know how to look fantastic while remaining true to his real self. Well, of course he wasn't even born in the 70s when this style was popular, but we do appreciate him bringing old glory into life. Everything is just so right about his velvet jacket, his purple scarf and his sassy loafers. What a fine dandy. Too bad we didn't see him in the final, but we're sure we'll see a lot more of him in the years to come as Malcolm Lincoln just released a fantastic record. How very suitable.
"Is he from London?"
"Nope. He's from, hold on, Estonia!"
"Well, from the 70s, then?"
"Nope, wasn't even born in the 70s"
"Looks like he knows how to dress"
"Yup, sure knows how to dress"
"Well, GEE blogger girls should love him"
"Yeah, you got that right"

Defeated, but not forgotten
It turned out to be Germany's turn this year and we say well deserved! Lena was one of our favorites from the beginning and we are confident the Germans will put on a massive show next year, we can hardly wait!
However, every year regardless of who takes home the victory, there will always be discussions around which country should have won. It might be the crazy disco act which finished second or the alluring ballad that keeps growing on you long after it finished seventh in the final. Do you remember who won in 1983? We can barely remember a lady in a pink dress wailing something in French, but the girl who came on third place sticks like glue to our brains!
Here’s our list with some of our favorite songs trough all times that didn’t win the contest but most certainly won our hearts!
1991 - France: Amina "C'est le dernier qui a parlé qui a raison”
An excruciatingly exciting voting process ended with a tie break between Sweden and France. Amina came second with the smallest margin ever to spare to the winner, having received fewer ten points than the winner Carola. – But what an astonishing lady with a heavenly voice and an even sassier orange scarf than the one WigWam had. She owned the stage that night in Rome.
1983 - Sweden: Carola "Främling"
Ironically enough it was Carola who snatched the victory out of Amina’s henna painted hands in 1991, but a few years earlier Carola had to settle for third place. Carola’s career path is somewhat similar to Michael Jackson’s: 1983: talented and wonderful, 1991: on top of their careers, 2006: freak show! We find this deeply disturbing….
1979 – West Germany: Dschinghis Khan ”Dschinghis Khan”
How come everybody remembers an act that came on fourth place in 1979? Magical!
2000 – Latvia: BrainStorm ”My Star”
During this beautiful evening in May one decade ago we realized that the Europe we used to know in our childhood back in the eighties had changed forever and no longer existed. This perfect pop song, with the most charming vocalist ever! Why did it only finish on third place? And why did the Pensioners Party from Denmark win?
1973 – Spain: Mocedades ”Eres tú”
The Basques sure know how to race a bicycle and to play soccer, but they also know how to make the perfect ballad! This song is commonly confused as the winner from 1973, even though the actual winning act was really strong that year.
1968 – United Kingdom: Cliff Richard ”Congratulations”
Sir Cliff looks younger today than what he did 42 years ago. Scary. However there’s no way getting around the fact that he nailed it with a classic and a massive hit when he came second that year. His contribution is especially loved and appreciated among those of us who loves birthday celebrations.
1987 – Norway: Kjersti Bergesen ”Go-go”
This entry didn’t even make it through to the international final; it finished on third place in the Norwegian national selection final behind Kate “Bad Hair Day” Gulbrandsen. But our Norwegian readers and Eurovision connoisseurs might remember that it beat strong household names like Sigvart Dagsland, Olav Stedje, Mia Gundersen and Finn Kalvik. Kjersti is not even close to sporting a decent singing voice, but the song itself is a perfect snap shot from the eighties, and the keychange towards the end of the song is priceless.
2005 – Latvia: Walter & Kazha ”The war is not over”
How can there be wars going on when cutie pies like this can make such wonderful music? Massive ”Extreme- More Than Words” factor going on and we immediately turn 13 again when we listen to this song which came fifth in Kiev.
2003 – Belgium: Urban Trad ”Sanomi”
As if Flemish isn’t silly enough to begin with, the Belgians decided to sing in a sort of gibberish language this year. World music is usually not our cup of tea, but we didn’t mind if this entry had finished higher than second place in 2003.
1983 – Yugoslavia: Danijel ”Dzuli”
1983 was a really strong year with a weak winner. This number came on fifth place and became an instant classic. Balkanswing rules!

Lessons learned during Eurovision 2010
Believe it or not, GEE did manage to learn a thing or two during two crazy weeks in Eurovision Town. So if you ever consider joining the ESC circus next year in Germany, here’s a few helpful hints from our point of view.
Those shoes are not made for walking
As glamorous as we might look to you, we have to admit: Walking around in our various set of heels every night for a couple of weeks is kinda hard on our baby feet. Because Eurovision is a lot of walking, especially for GEE girls who can't stop mingling when there are stars around. Now it's hello ballerinas for the rest of the summer, and who wants to carry us around next year?
When photographed, bend your knees and put your glasses on
We took a lot of pictures with a lot of good posers this week. It was such a joy to learn from all their glorious little tricks so that we could look a little bit more shiny ourselves. While the Finnish chicks taught us how to bend our knees for a better posture, the golden boy of Switzerland taught us to always have our glasses ready to put on when someone takes their camera out. The Polish hint on putting an apple in our mouth we kinda ignored. Thank you everyone for helping us look like ESCs next top models.
Someone just knows everyone. This someone is Mads Rogde
We have been doing a lot of networking throughout these Eurovision weeks. But someone did it even a little bit better than us. No matter who we befriended on Facebook, for instance, they were already friends with this fabulous producer slash party fixer Mads Rogde. And we don't blame them for a second. We're happy he's our friend as well and hereby make him our networking guru.
There is always need for a welding team at every ESC party
When so many large constructions have to be made for so many events and parties, someone should take some serious welding responsibility. Thomas N'evergreen from Denmark happily accepted the role this year, as he was walking around with his welding glasses on. Although his attitude was kinda cocky, we do applaud him for taking some time off to join our party while always being ready for emergency welding. Guess his Eastern European connections taught him that.
It pays off to make nice with GEE
In GEE we are not critical wannabe objective journalists from newspapers no one reads. Being bloggers has its definitive perks! Meaning we get to share exactly what we think with exactly who we want. Also meaning if you make nice with us, we most certainly will reward you. People like the A1 boys, Marcin Mrozinski, most of Azerbaijan, the bird bloke of Malta and Daniel Diges certainly got a lot more credit than expected out of us just from being nice. And Club Latter must have gotten more visits both from us and other guests due to their fabulous door hostess, who greeted and welcomed everyone like they were superstars and VIPs. In the end we learned there are some fab people in the ESC world. Don't we just love them all.
You can in fact get an email from yourself asking you to your own party
We were a little bit surprised by the fact that we one day received an email from Good Evening Europe inviting us to our own fabulous Good Evening Europe-party. Did Astrid write it? No. Did Guri write it? No. Whatta fuck? Then we remembered last night when we, while standing in the same place for a record of 10 minutes at Euroclub, were approached by several people wanting to take our photo, interviewing us for TV and thanking us for our blog posts. Wow, we're stars, we realized. And stars don't write their own mail, of course.
If you give up eating and sleeping, you will have time for Eurovision and all your fabulous outfits slip on perfectly
Well, that one is self explaining, but just so we will remember for Hamburg next year: You have to prioritize. Eating and sleeping is not for Eurovision. Glamorous dresses certainly are.

Nice try from Spain
Spain decided to bring us something tiny this year.
Participating since 1961, Spain has had different approaches to the Eurovision Song Contest. They won with both La, la, la in 68 and Vivo cantando in 69, both lovely songs by lovely women in terrific clothing. But since then, they haven't really been close. Julio Inglesias wore way too blue clothing being way too melodramatic while some weird gang only came second with Eres tu. Spain struggled, and sent both crazy banjo players, sassy señoritas in Tango mood, and even Las Ketchup ordering Bloody Marys. Can't say that worked. What did work for us, however, was being totally wacko in 83, doing super 80s disco in 86 and celebrating Europe in 2002. Still, nothing has reached the very top of the podium.
This year hot musical star Daniel Diges is bringing us something tiny. Being surrounded by oversized toy figures on stage, we can't help but wondering if he represents the tiny part, but we do love the song's traditional Spanish feel. It is sensitive and intense with a promise of something good. Still, when the whoaoaoo starts to completely dominate, it is everything but good. Guess the best parts in the end is the tight pants, wild curls and strong voice of the singer - in that order. A nice touch is also this music video made as an homage to Danish writer H C Andersen's story of the tin soldier. Now that can only melt our hearts as much as Daniel's bright smile.
You've got to realize that it's small things that makes this burn, Spain. Nothing but another nice try from you. Again.
