Spain will Say Yay with Barei in Stockholm

The first song that will surely perform in the grand final is now revealed thanks to Spain, who sent Barei to Eurovision with the upbeat song 'Say Yay'. The song was chosen from Spain's national final 'Objectivo Eurovision'. This entry is actually the first Spanish entry, that does not contain any Spanish language which means that it is being sung in English.

The song might be another upbeat but I immediately loved it and this year, Spain has a really high potential to get a good place as this song is indeed a masterpiece and it is sung fully in English. Barei's vocals are also amazing and then when you add this with an amazing stage setting and performance, this song would indeed do an amazing job and go to the top 10.

In Objectivo Eurovision itself, Barei is one of my favorites along with Maria Isabel and Xuso, so I'm glad that my favorite could win again. Barei's performance was indeed energetic and her vocals were amazing, maybe Spain could go back to the top again this year with this entry as it is truly amazing. Well, I would give this song an 8 on the scale of 10 and I really hope that Spain could do well this year.

Overall, good luck to Barei who would be flying the Spanish flag to Stockholm with Say Yay!!!

"Come Together" to the 2016 Eurovision

The logo and slogan of the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest

After months of waiting, the logo of the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest is already released along with the slogan. I must say that it was indeed worth the wait and the logo exceeded my expectations, the slogan still has the peace and unity concept but this one is delivered with different words and with a really catchy one.Well, for the past few years we have had amazing logos and SVT did a great job in making the one for the 2016 contest. 

The logo has a galactic colour scheme which is indeed amazing and the globe, seems to represent the Sony Ericsson Globe that will be the venue for the 2016 Eurovision song contest. The stars in the globe, seems to represent the way people from different parts of Europe or the world to come together and be united through music. When we are united we could shine as bright as a star and give light to the dark, this really shows the power of music which could unite people with different beliefs or opinions. This actually brings Eurovision back to the reason on why it was made, as the biggest contest in the world had been uniting many people for the past six decades and now it is 61 years old already.

Many people, had came together through this contest and watching Eurovision is also something that could be done to unite people as people come together when they watch it albeit some of them might not like it at first but once you watch the whole thing you would end uo falling in love with the contest and you would not regret it. The contest was made to unite Europe but it turn out that, it did not just unite the continent but also the world and many human beings in the world.

Well, I just hope that Eurovision would stay the same and no more non-European related country would join as it is good the way it. Australia is fine but I hope that countries like Lichtenstein or Kosovo will debut and maybe Monaco, Andorra or Luxembourg could return to this wonderful contest. Albeit I come from Indonesia, I think that having an Indonesian performing in the contest is already a great thing and Eurovision should stay as it is, a contest done by European and European related countries with intercontinental fans. Maybe, if the non-European related countries want to join, they could send someone of their origin to join. 

Ira Losco is back with "Chameleon" for Malta 2016

On 24 January 2015, Malta had finally selected their entry through the Maltese national selection, 'Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2016' which is also known as the MESC. They sent the winner of their national selection, Ira Losco with her song Chameleon, which is indeed a wonderful and invincible song. 

The name Ira Losco, is indeed a familiar name for the Eurovision fans as this Maltese beauty had represented the island country back in 2002 with the song '7th Wonder'. She was indeed a favorite back then and that is why, she succeed in giving this island country their one of their best results by securing the second place back then in Tallinn. When she joined the national final, she instantly became my favourite as her song stole my heart and her voice was indeed magnificent.The song itself is wonderful, as it becomes much more powerful as you go further with the song and it has a wonderful beat. Ira Losco's vocals are also amazing and she expresses the song really well in my opinion. 

Overall, I rate this song an 8 out of 10 as it is indeed amazing and Ira's vocals makes the song sound much more better indeed. I guess that Malta has a really high chance to qaulify this year, as this song really fits for the grand final and it is still growing on me.

Belgium sends Laura Tesoro with "What's The Pressure?"

Belgium sends a jazzy and upbeat song titled "What's The Pressure?" being sung by Laura Tesoro, who won the 2016 Eurosong. The song itself is nice, but not a really good floor filler and Laura's vocals are actually great too. The song did start with a least strong verse but the chorus gave life to the song, which makes the song helps us release the pressure because what's the pressure?

I might say that this song doesn't have a high chance for qualifying due to her weak vocals, but its only the national selection and I am think that Laura could qualify, if she strengthens her vocals. In the national selection, the chorus actually helped in giving the life to the song as it was hard for me to absorb the first verse of the song but the chorus made me like it. To be honest, I actually struggled to write this article as I didn't like it at the first part but as soon as it grows on me, I'm starting to love it. My favorite was actually Amaryllis with 'Kick The Habbit', which is my favorite in this year's Eurosong.

Nevertheless, I think that Laura should try to give more power and release the pressure to improve the song and give it more power. Maybe, there should be some special effects like the proxy and a stage setting which could really blend in with the song. In that way, this song might be a favourite if she could do well in Stockholm and I hope that she would not feel the pressure, as What's the Pressure?

Well, good luck Laura Tesoro and we can't wait to see you in Stockholm!!!
