<span style="font-size: large;">Casanovas</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Update 2012:</span> Swedish dansband Casanovas have recorded a jazzy schlager version of <i>Satellite</i> for their 2012 CD <i>Livet Börjar Nu!</i> The albums also includes a more rock-schlager coverversion of the Hungarian 2011 entry <i><a href="http://dusseldorfeurovision.blogspot.nl/2011/05/22-hungary-what-about-my-dreams-kati.html">What About My Dreams</a>.</i><br />
In 2011 they released a live album which includes a coverversion of Danish entry <i><a href="http://osloeurovision.blogspot.nl/2010/05/4-denmark-in-moment-like-this-chanee.html">In A Moment Like This</a></i>. This album is only available through their <a href="http://www.casanovas.se/v3/index.asp?page=nyheter">website</a> and at concerts.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Health Warning</span><br />
An even more anonymous copy by the <strong>Eurosingers*</strong> can be found on Grand Prix - Greatest hits, a digital collection that features useless covers of 33 Eurovision hits incl. <em>Fairytale</em>, <em>Waterloo</em>, <em>Diva</em>, <em>Nocturne</em>, <em>I Wanna</em> and <em>A Ba Ni Bi</em> (to name a few) (CHV Music factory).<br />
This lame copy of <em>Satellite</em> appears on many digital compilations under various names (<strong>Star Of Oslo</strong> to name just one)*. Mostly Football hits and Work-out albums. .<br />
It is a very crappy attempt of picking peoples pockets and a good example of how sick the music industry is. There, I said it. This version is available at Amazon digital.<br />
Then there's <strong>Ruth Lena Landgraf</strong>, which, judging by the name, should be a parody, but it isn't. It's another digitally sold shameless copy.<br />
An equally aaaargh version is by <strong>Tiffany</strong>. It is a different recording from above, but it appears on various compilations ranging from Mallorca Giganten, Spring Break Hits and Halli Galli Vollgas Ekstase Party (who makes this up?). Avoid.<br />

A and A records (Warner) have releasedan album <em>Playing With Fire</em> with the Eurovision entry, two remixes and four solo tracks by Paula and Ovi each. <br />
A promo cdsingle has the ESC entry plus 2 solo tracks by each performer.<br />
Another promo from Finland has Radio version, Fly DJ's remix, Singback (Karaoke) and Instrumental (AXR Music AXRPR 118)<br />
<br />
An odd release is the new Make Your Own Remix kit of <em>Playing With Fire</em>. It has 7 basic tracks to make your own remix. It's for sale at iTunes, e-music but at the price it's sold for and considering you have to make music out of it yourself it gets a bit of thumbs down here at the Oslo Collection. Now give us a cdsingle, now!<br />

May 14 sees the release of an interesting 3disc set in Denmark. 2 DVD and one CD feature many highlights of Danish Eurovision history. The DVDs have 50 clips from the original national finals (Melodi Grand Prix) including the 2010 winner <em>In A Moment Like This </em>and<em> </em>Hera Björks <em>Someday</em> (See <a href="http://osloeurovision.blogspot.com/2010/01/iceland.html">Iceland 2010</a>)</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
The CD has 20 tracks of which 18 are Danish Eurovision entries.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
As the title suggests it only features entries from 1978 to 2010, after Denmarks infamous Eurovision drought.</div>
</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Denmark participated from 1957 to 1966, then decided there were more important cultural things spend their money on. They came back to their senses in 1978 and have been on the Eurovision stage ever since. (with the exception of the few years Denmark were forced to stay home in the dark days of the pre-semi-too-many-countries regulations)</div>

The Azerbaijan jury selected Safura (Safura Əlizadə) to sing the third Eurovision entry for the country. Even though there was a sort of national final, the winning song hadn't been announced immediately.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
But after 2 weeks ITV announced that the ballad <em>Drip Drop</em> was the one for Oslo. The song was originally credited to Stefan Örn and Sandra Bjurman, but it turned out they wrote the song together with producer Anders Bagge.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Listen to the latest version of Drip Drop at Safura's <a href="http://safura.eurovisiontalents.com/music.html">new website</a>.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Safura has recorded the Eurovision version it in Sweden with Anders Bagge, who will also produce her album.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Safura's website, one of the most active sites this year, is now up in 15 languages. Click the flags top right at the <a href="http://safura.eurovisiontalents.com/">website</a> for the website in the language of your choice.</div>

Željko Joksimović has created a new version of Drip Drop with Safura. On the new Balkan Version you can hear him humming along a bit, but he also created the Balkan arrangement of the track. <br />
Željko Joksimović is of course known from Serbia's 2004 entry Lane Moje which ended 2nd in the Istanbul contest. He also wrote the Serbian 2008 entry Oro, performed by Jelene Tomašević.</div>

The song is <em>Me And My Guitar</em> written by Tom Dice, Ashley Hicklin and Jeroen Swinnen.<br />
<br />
Tom Dice won the first semi in Oslo. The 6th place in the final is the best result ever for a Belgian entry chosen by Flemish television. (Flemish and Wallon TV alternate in chosing the country's Eurovision entry).<br />
<br />

One version is recorded ♫<br />
<br />
The cdsingle (in cardsleeve) is available in Belgium since March 13, out on Sonic Angel (SA 10002 / 7 522 744).<br />
The international release is handled by B1 recordings/Universal. It has the same two tracks but comes in a plastic case sleeve. (B1/ Universal 602527 447827).<br />
The German edition has a '12 punkte aus Deutschland' sticker.<br />
<br />
<em>Me And My Guitar</em> enters the Flemish Belgian charts at #2, withing a week of its release. And as expected MAMG goes to #1 in the 2nd week. Tom also charts in the Wallonia charts and after the contest he re-enters at #1. It's the first ever Belgian entry of Flemish origin to reach #1 in Wallonia.<br />
The single debuts Dutch sales top 100 at #85, which makes it the first Netherlands charthit for a Belgian entry since the winner <em>J'aime La Vie</em> by Sandra Kim (1986).<br />
In Eurovision week the song re-enters the NL top 100 at 87.<br />
Tom surely made an impression at the contest. The week after ESC he (re)claims the #1 spot in both belgian charts.<br />
The cdsingle is available in the Belgian shops and at <a href="http://www.bearecords.nl/shop.php?search_artist=Tom+Dice&open_search=&action=search">BeaRecords</a>.<br />

Alyosha, (Alyona Kucher) (Альоша, Алеша, Алена Кучер) won the new national final in Ukraine with the song <em><a href="http://censor.net.ua/go/offer/ResourceID/153229.html">To Be Free</a></em>. But since that song wasn't eligible for Eurovision (see below) Alyosha finally ended up singing <em>Sweet People</em> at the Oslo Eurovision stage.<br />
<br />
Alyosha now has opened a website <a href="http://www.alyoshamission.com/">Alyosha Mission</a>. You can read about her plight to the world and the environment and also download <em>Sweet People</em>.<br />
Watch and listen <a href="http://eurovision-ukraine.com/">here</a> at Eurovision Ukraine.<br />
<br />
<em>Sweet People</em> is issued on a 1 track promo cdsingle (top picture), only one version has been released officially so far ♫.<br />
A new version can be found on <a href="https://soundcloud.com/#vadimlisa/alyosha-sweet-people-second">Foxxstudios Soundcloud</a>, but I don't think there's an official release.<br />
<br />
Charts<br />

<strong>To Be Free Or Not To Be Free</strong><br />
Alyosha won the 2nd national selection hastily organized in Ukraine after a change in the broadcasters board and general dissatisfaction with the already chosen song by Vasyl Lazarovich. Alyosha's winning song was <em>To Be Free</em>, but that turned out to not be eligible for the 2010 contest.<br />
Several Alonya songs are at <a href="http://www.ourstage.com/tracks/CUJBWLEMNWQS-to-be-free">Ourstage</a>, where the <em>To Be Free</em> has been uploaded April 2008. This clearly breaks the Oct. 1 rule.<br />
It was released on the 6 track album <em><a href="http://chisinau.ch/load/alta_muzica/alte_genuri/3-1-0-879">Tears Of Love</a></em>, out since 2008 (in Moldova). The song is also at the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/alonyakucher">MySpace</a> of 'Alonya', and it's been there since before may 2009.<br />
<em>To Be Free</em> was recorded in Kyiv in 2007. (source: <a href="http://www.bestmusic.ro/blog/Alonya-pid-1362-l-1">Bestmusic.ro</a>)<br />
<br />
<strong>No More I Love You's</strong><br />
Vasiliy (Vasyl) Lazarovich (Василь Лазарович) was originally selected by Ukrainian TV (NTU) to represent Ukraine in the 2010 Eurovision.<br />
The song <em>I Love You</em> written by Brandon Stone and Olga Yarynich was selected in a 5 song national final.<br />
But it was decided a new song had to be found for Eurovision.<br />

Frances Eurovision song <em>Allez Ola Olé</em> by Jessy Marador is a clever tie-in with the 2010 South Africa Football World Cup, but it contrary to previous announcements is <strong>not</strong> the official French world cup theme.<br />
The song is written by Hugues Ducamin and Jacques Ballue.<br />
The version performed at Eurovision has a different arrangement which is not on any of the recordings below.<br />
<br />
A cdsingle is released on Wagram on the 25th of May. (Wagram 3219255)<br />
The cdsingle includes two versions of the song and the videoclip.<br />

<br />
One of the tracks is <em>Balkañeros</em>, a 'cover' of the Spanish version of Ovo Je Balkan.<br />
The album is out on September 27 and an accompanying tour takes Bregović to The Netherlands, Germany and France in October and to Italy, Russia and Lithuania in December.<br />
<br />
A taster clip of the Gypsy Kings-Bregović Balkañeros meeting is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p__QEUfOSnk">here</a>.<br />
The album and track were already announced in October 2011 on the Warner Music Youtube channel. They featured the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIqzAZDpmtY">audio in full</a> (but I missed it back then)<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Composer</span><br />
Goran Bregović has released many albums starting in the 70's with his bands Beštije, Kodeksi, Jutro and Beijelo Dugme. He delivered songs for soundtracks<br />
<br />
He has worked with international artists like Iggy Pop, Scott Walker, Césaria Évora, Sezen Akzu (Turkey), Kayah (Poland), Eurovision singer Ofra Haza (Israel), George Dalaras (Greece) and many others.

A 4 track CD with all K'dam (Israels preselection) tracks is available since 15-03. It's on the Aroma label and will be available through Aroma shops only. (Aroma NMC 0330545-2)<br />
<br />
The Oslo promo cds features five versions of <em>Milim</em>:<br />
Milim - Eurovision edit<br />
Words - English<br />
Il Restera Ses Mots - French<br />
Milim - Mash and Droub remix (radio )<br />
Milim - Instrumental<br />
<br />
<b>Mash & Droub</b><br />
The Mash and Droub remix on the promo cds is a short radio version (3:08). A longer remix (5:31) can be found on the Mash & Droub collection CD <i>Do Re Mix</i>.<br />
You can listen to both remixes <a href="http://patiphon.co.il/music/lec4966LEC" target="_blank">here at Pathiphon</a>.<br />
<br />
The official CD features a version of Milim similar to the first version but with some more backing vocals, and the piano intro appears to be cut by a second or two. It's just the first two piano plonks that are cut of, and quite nastily. I don't know if it's intentional or careless, but I can imagine the CD buying public would have appreciated the full version.<br />
