Eurovision Song Contest 2022 Czech Republic Video Reaction We Are Domi : Lights Off

On this road to Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, I'm reacting to We Are Domi’s song - Lights Off- from ESCZ Czech Republic 2022. This year’s song from Czech Republic for Eurovision Song Contest 2022 is very catchy, powerful and the solo singer is able to own the scene with only her clear and strong voice. I do have some thoughts about their staging of the song, but I’m pretty sure - or at least I hope - they will come up with something good to sustain their good song at Eurovision in Turin this May 2022.

Eurovision Song Contest 2022 – Reaction to “I.M” by Michael Ben David – Israel

On this road to Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, I'm reacting to Michael Ben David's song - I.M - from XFactor Israel 2022. To be honest, not great lyrics this year from israel, but those few words, and the way Michael Ben David sings them , do give a lot of meaning to his message: fierceness, pride and great stage presence. Also this year Israel is setting a good competition for all the contestants of Eurovision Song Contest 2022. Enjoy the video, and do share your thoughts with us!

Eurovision Reaction – Mahmood & Blanco – Brividi

On this road to Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin, I'm reacting to Mahmood and Blanco's song - Brividi - from Festival Di Sanremo 2022. The song is amazing and really gave me teary eyes - you can see it from the video - and I hope you liked it too. There are huge possibilities of Mahmood and Blanco winning the Festival and possibly representing Italy to Eurovision Song Contest. Enjoy the video, and tell me your thoughts about their show in Sanremo. https://youtu.be/zZjunMd4_VA BRIVIDI - LYRICS [Strofa 1: Mahmood] Ho sognato di volare con te Su una bici di diamanti Mi hai detto: “Sei cambiato Non vedo più la luce nei tuoi occhi” La tua paura cos’è? Un mare dove non tocchi mai Anche se il sesso non è La via di fuga dal fondo, dai Non scappare da qui, non lasciarmi ...

Her song is one of the most listened amongst those participating in Festival Da Canção 2022 - for the National Selection of Portugal at Eurovision Song Contest 2022. So we decided to know more about MARO's song, dreams and future projects. On this Road TO Eurovision Song Contest 2022, we had a chat with MARO - who's competing in Festival Da Canção 2022 with her song "Saudade Saudade". She told us about her dreams, her future projects and how the song she's taking to Festival Da Canção was born. It is a very persona page of her life, something that was almost unavoidable, like if a stronger and outer force was taking MARO to always right songs about this person: "Sometimes we need to understand that even if someone is not with us any longer, we need to cherish the moments we spent t...

Mahmood and Blanco are on top of the world now, and after winning Sanremo 2022, they are heading to Eurovision Song Contest 2022 and tickling their fans with this full-naked picture on the cover of Vanity Fair Italia. That Mahmood could get everyone else’s eyes on him because of his beauty and his voice, but also because of the character he created around him, was something we all knew about, but since he started this cooperation with Blanco things have a reached a much higher level of interest. Mahmood and Blanco started their cooperation for their song “Brividi” that since the very first time was clearly going to win Festival di Sanremo 2022… and since this happened, they will be representing Italy at Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Film recommendation: Flee

Celebrate LGBTQ+ history month and Valentine’s Day today with the animated documentary FLEE, the first film ever to be Oscar-nominated for Best Documentary, Best Animated Film and Best International Film in the same year. The film tells the story of Amin (a pseudonym), who fled Afghanistan in the 1980s, eventually reaching Denmark as a teenager. Now, as he prepares to marry his partner, Kasper, he is finally ready to tell his story to his friend, Danish filmmaker Jonas Poher Rasmussen. Using animation allows Amin anonymity, and also humanises the story, which intersperses Amin telling his tale with his childhood in Kabul, the traumas of his flight and the years he spent in Russia with his family. He also discusses how he realised he was gay – he was fantasising about Jean-Claude van ...

Cubita from Festival da Canção 2022, opens up about her passion for music and her dreams.

We had a lovely chat with Cubita from Festival da Canção 2022 on this Road To Eurovision, and she told us about her amazement for music and her dreams as a singer and as girl. Cubita, participating in Festival da Canção 2022 in Portugal, is a very shy but sweet girl. Her tough appearance is only a mask that covers one of the most gentle and kind girls we’ve ever had the chance to interview on our Road to Eurovision Song Contest. We asked her many questions and talked with her about her participation in Festival da Canção and what would mean for her being part of Eurovision Song Contest too. What really surprised us, and gave Raffa teary eyes (always so emotional, ed) - was the answer she gave to our tricky final question, showing us what a sweet and strong woman Cubita is. Watch...
