TIX - a beautiful soul

I posted this story already on Facebook today, but as it's probably the nicest and most moving story I've heard in connection with this year's contest I wanted to add it again here on my blog.

Here's a lovely story concerning this year's Norwegian singer, TIX.  Two years ago a 20 year old fan of his called Aurora found out that she was dying.  Her final wish was that TIX would sing at her funeral.  The singer fulfilled her wish and flew to Stavanger specially to sing at the funeral.  For the past two years he has wanted to write a song to dedicate to Aurora, and a few weeks ago he sang it for her family and friends for the first time.  The song is called "Angel don't go" and it's stunning.  I love his Eurovision song, but this is much stronger.  It's lovely to see the reactions of her loved ones as he sings the song.

TIX is donating all the proceeds from the new song to a charity which helped Aurora during her final months.  What a splendid chap he is.  TIX truly is a beautiful soul ❤

Semi 1 - Great result!!!

It wasn't just Jedward who were ecstatic with last night's Semi 1 results!  9 of the 10 I predicted got through, and the one I got wrong was Austria, with the fabulous Hungarian song going through instead (and that was one of my faves anyway). Apparently Romania had huge problems hearing their track in their in-ear monitors, so they were relieved to get through.  They drew to sing in 14th position. We got some interesting insider info via some delegations at the after party (which finished at 6am this morning!!!).  Apparently the Icelandic 12 didn't go to Denmark as expected, but to Cyprus!  Fab performance from Ivi, and I see this going Top 5 on Saturday. We also heard that the Cypriot 12 did not go to Cypriot singer Eleftheria, who is singing for Greece, but to Albania, and the amazing Rona, who delivered a fantastic performance which had the audience on it's feet. But it was Gorgeous Pasha from Moldova who had the best luck of the night

Well, I love all their sugar, and those nice blue cocktails that they were serving at the party they held last night at any rate. Here's the fab girlies from Serbia.  I just LOVE  Sara's smile (the one next to me). Me and Juha looking like a Finnish Comedy double-act!  With the lovely Jody and Monty!
