Just a quick post to let you know I'm in (musical) love again.Not with a Russian though.Or a Belarussian.Or even a Norwegian.
Brandur Enni,as you probably know from Melodifestivalen,is from the Faroe Islands like Teitur,who I also love lots.For an 18 year old,he's been around quite a while,having released an album and everything 6 years ago...I've probably mentioned my opinions about child stars before,but Brandur's early songs weren't actually that bad.At least the ones I've heard so far.Anyway,have a look at his MySpace page. There's 4 songs on there,I really like World Citizens.And All For You.And the other 2 as well actually,they're all fabulous.
Here's his Melodifestivalen attempt from last night as well.I think I like it,but there was no way Sweden was ever going to send anything less than schlagertastic.Still though,was choosing Amy Diamond really necessary?
Anyway.Linguistics coursework.Ethnicity and language planning in Luxembourg.Must concentrate...

Oh no, amy diamond? really? Whats the chances of her winning the final? I'm hoping slim - there's no need to inflict that on the rest of europe.
I wouldn't be too surprised if she won the final.But there's still a lot of big names coming up in the next few semi finals,like Charlotte Nilsson (or Perrelli as she is now),Ola,Linda Bengtzing...oh,and BWO are still in it,I didn't realise- they're in the semi final the week after next.
I didn't think too much of this song (nice backing vocals part, though)...but I was just telling someone that Brandur deserved a lot more--not in the sense of a higher ranking here (though it would have been better than Christer...), but in the sense of a better song. I was really impressed with him! I hope the exposure at Melodifestivalen does him some good, and that he'll get another chance at fame outside the Faroe Islands.
