Swing A Song

Last Thursday, Germany picked their Eurovision entry for 2007. After they went country last year, it seems only right that they should head in the direction of swing music for 2007. And it works an absolute TREAT!

Roger Cicero, jazz musician with wonderful Buble-esque voice, was chosen to represent them with "Frauen Regier'n Die Welt" (Women Rule The World), and it's, well, a straightforward swing song! It's an absolute joy to listen to and to watch to. Cicero knows how to work a hat, that's for sure. And if you wanna get a head, get a hat etc.

This song has a double bass, brass, piano, saxaphone, it's the whole works! So here's a question - can it win? Hmm... well I'll be intrigued to see the draw on Monday, but I think this could do brilliantly well in Helsinki. I know we all expected more from Texas Lightning last year, but this is better and very different! Max in 2004 entered a sort of laid back easy listening track in 2004 and that got 8th place, so maybe this could got a few better. I certainly hope so, it's one of the best of this year - it might have even pierced my Top 5. What a thought...
