Loco To Todo... and more news!
So yeah, Locomondo had to change their name in a sort of 'Liberty X' type situation and so their new name is... Todomondo! I'm guessing this is purely in tribute to the 1990 Italian Eurovision winner Toto Cutugno. It kind of makes sense cos when Toto infamously presented the show in '91 he insisted on announcing the votes in many languages, and Locomondo - sorry - Todomondo's song is also about saying "I Love You" in as many languages as possible. I suspect a conspiracy.
In other news, the BBC have said that - and it pains me to say this - Daz Sampson will NOT be representing the UK this year (boo!). The BBC said it would be too soon for him to return! Let's hope this thinking rules out Javine's comback. On a slightly bigger note, the Beeb also announced that Mozza will not have anything to do with UK ESC this year either. All that build up for nothing... looks like Tony Christie and Emma Bunton it could be!
Austria have announced that a man called Eric will sing for them in Helsinki. Apparantly he did well on their version of Pop Idol. It worked for Jessica Garlick.
Belgium will be represented by a band called The Krazy Mess Groovers. Apprantly they're "krazy". Their song Love Power will be debuted this weekend and is expected to be a jazzy/disco fusion type song. Sounds intriguing... it could be good!
Likewise, this weekend sees the debuting of the Cypriot song, the announcement of the Hungarian entry, the national finals of Bulgaria, Latvia, Spain, Armenia, Montenegro and we'll also find out the first semi-final qualifier as FYR Macedonia pick their entry!!!! LOL!!!!
So it's a busy old weekend with a potential EIGHT songs being confirmed this weekend. Crikey...
