John Lundvik - Too Late for Love

There was maybe one other song that I could give the Eurovision crown to and that is John Lundvik with Sweden's entry for this year, "Too Late for Love"!  So many better than The Netherlands!!

Tamta - Replay

There was only one person I saw that truly deserved this year's Eurovision crown and that was TAMTA!!  Cyprus' entry into this year's contest is pop excellence!!

This new track by Baby Alpaca side project Heather Strange is AWESOME!!  That voice is a thing of beauty and to a poppier background than the typical Baby Alpaca track, I am all in.

In 2003, Cranes released a live album "Live in Italy" and it DID NOT FEATURE this amazing song!!  This track is amazing live and I was utterly disappointed in its absence on an otherwise very lovely live album.
