<br />Ωπα
<br />Ωπα, ωπα
<br />
<br />Έκαψα το χθες, νύχτες μου παλιές,
<br />θρύψαλα οι αναμνήσεις έγιναν κι αυτές
<br />Μνήμες και φωνές άδικες ευχές
<br />κι άφησα σε μια γωνία ανοιχτές πληγές
<br />
<br />Έκαψα το χθες νύχτες μου παλιές
<br />όνειρα και εφιάλτες ρίχνω στις φωτιές
<br />Δάκρυα καυτά ψέμματα πολλά
<br />μοιάζουν σα βουβή ταινία που δεν βλέπω πια
<br />
<br />Ωπα
<br />
<br />Βάζω μια φωτιά
<br />σ’όλα τα παλιά
<br />όλα θα τ’αλλάξω
<br />και θα το φωνάξω

<br />Έκαψα το χθες, νύχτες μου παλιές,
<br />κι από το μηδέν αρχίζω όσο κι αν δε θες

<br /><b>Lyrics translation in English </b>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />I burnt the past, my previous nights
<br />Shattered memories as well
<br />Sorrows and voices, unfair wishes
<br />And I left all open wounds aside
<br />
<br />I burnt the past, my previous nights
<br />Dreams and nightmares cast in the fire
<br />Burning tears, lots of lies
<br />All seem like a silent movie I no longer watch
<br />
<br />
<br />OPA!
<br />I set on fire
<br />Everything that’s old
<br />I will change everything – OPA!
<br />And I’ll shout it out loud – OPA!
<br />Let bygones be bygones, let’s start all over again – OPA!
<br />
<br />
<br />I burnt the past, my previous nights
<br />And I start from scratch, even if you don’t want it
<br />Burning tears, lots of lies
<br />I paid all my dues
<br />
<br />
<br />OPA!
<br />I set on fire
<br />Everything that’s old
<br />I will change everything – OPA!
<br />And I’ll shout it out loud – OPA!
<br />Let bygones be bygones, let’s start all over again – OPA!

<br />Στους ημιτελικούς οι 9 πρώτοι που προκρίθηκαν βγήκαν από το tele-voting ενώ η επιτροπή έχει έναν μπαλαντέρ [JURY WILDCARD] και όρισε τον δέκατο κάθε ημιτελικού.

<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Biography</span>
<br />
<br />An unknown force in the music industry is definitely not the way to describe Alex Christensen. DJ, producer, composer, BMI AND ECHO award winner along with other diverse award nominations are some of the titles Mr. Christensen holds under his belt.
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Alex Christensen</span>
<br />
<br />With his Groundbreaking idea for the song Das Boot in 1991 in a Techno version, Alex revolutionized the techno music scene by making techno, chart compatible. Das Boot became number 1 on the charts in more than 22 countries worldwide and was number 1 on the German charts for 13 weeks (at that time holding the record for the 2nd longest number 1 chart position). With U96 Alex sold more than 15 million records.
<br />
<br />Alex was also featured alongside Christina Appelgate and James Marshall in the film Cyberman. Adding acting to his many diversified talents. Alex has disc jockeyed alongwith DJ icons including Sven Väth, Westbam, and Moby worldwide.As a producer, from the 1990’s to now he has produced for artists including Right Said Fred, Marky Mark, Jose Carreras, Paul Anka, Tom Jones, Michael Bolton, N’Sync, U96, ATC, Sarah Brightman, Natasha Thomas, Rollergirl, Yvonne Catterfeld, Fady Maalouf and Udo Lindenberg.
<br />
<br />With the band BROSIS (winners of the German Series Popstars) Alex served on the shows jury and produced a single for the band that sold 800,000 units in only 2 days time. Adding to Alex’s impressive credits, his single for ATC Around the World was Germany’s most heavily rotated radio single, since he was beaten by Kylie Minogue.
<br />
<br />Following Alex’s fifth number one single with Du hast den schönsten Arsch der Welt and album Euphorie he has stayed true to his signature style, mixing dance music and German text. Alex C. featuring” Yass” has proven to be a hit in Germany and Europe wide.
<br />
<br />Alex has proven that his combination of German text and Eurodance is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.Alex’s musical spectrum encompasses the entire span of Dance and techno music. With the success of his production work on two of Paul Anka’s albums, including duets with Michael Bublé and Sammy Davis Junior , Rock Swings was nominated for a Grammy,and achieved double platinum status. For Michael Bolton (two time Grammy winner, four time nominee for best pop/vocal male, with sales over 52 million units worldwide, and six time American music award winner) he produced Bolton Swings Sinatra.
<br />
<br />After this success Alex continues to evolve in the swing and dance genres seeking theright person to interpret his musical vision. In Oscar he has found an outstanding talent and collaborator.
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Oscar Loya</span>
<br />
<br />Oscar’s career is a typical example of the American Dream. The youngest of five children, Oscar was raised in a single parent household on the wrong side of town. Hismother struggled to make ends meet and make sure her children didn’t fall to the product of growing up in a Southern California barrio.
<br />
<br />Oscar used his artistic passion for the arts as his key to escape such meager beginnings. After successful career stints as a talented fashion designer, and hair/makeup artist, he finally found his niche by heeding the advice of those around him and making the switch from background to foreground.
<br />
<br />Determined not to let a lack of formal training hold him back, at age 24 he left everything behind and moved to New York to finally realise his dream of performing. Being new on the scene was not an issue for Oscar. Only one month after having lived in the Big Apple he was stopped by a famous Broadway producer/choreographer on the street and was asked three questions, “Can you sing? Can you act? Can you dance?” The answer was a resounding “Hell Yeah!”.
<br />
<br />Oscar honed his singing, dancing, and acting skills on internationally renowned stages in cities including Bologna, Rotterdam, Vienna, Seoul, Beijing, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Berlin,Köln, and Munich. Oscar’s International experience combined with his skills and remarkable energy, form the basis of continuing his transition from musical star to world class pop star.
<br />
<br />With the track Miss Kiss Kiss Bang it has become possible to successfully combine Alex’s superb abilities as producer, composer, and author with Oscar’s extraordinary talent as a performer.

<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Biography</span>
<br />
<br />Soraya Arnelas was born in Valencia de Alcántara, in the Spanish region of Extremadura, on 13 September 1982. Her career as an artist started in 2005, after she had become the most popular finalist of the TV programme “Operación Triunfo.” Since then, Soraya’s record trajectory has been meteoric, with four albums made with the record company Vale Music/Universal Music Spain.
<br />
<br />Her debut came with Kike Santander’s production for her first album, Corazón de fuego - a mix of Latin themes with other genres such as ballads and pop dance,which achieved Platinum Disc status in Spain in 2006. In 2007 the second album Ochenta’s was released and contained versions of great hits from the 1980’s. Soraya was awarded a new Platinum Disc for this album.
<br />
<br />After this success, one year later, she released Dolce Vita, with new themes of the best dance music. And last year, 2008, she went once again into the recording studio to bring to life unpublished themes on her fourth album, “Sin Miedo,” which consolidated Soraya’s own style.
<br />
<br />Soraya was an air stewardess. She speaks English, French and Portuguese, and also outside of her music career collaborates with humanitarian organisations in aid of children.
<br />
<br />The Spanish entry for the Eurovision Song Contest is entitled La noche es para mí (The night is for me). It has the quality of being a song specially written to please a wide range of European tastes. On the one hand, it is connected to western pop sounds, with a musical dance base which is always a point of reference in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest.
<br />
<br />Soraya’s song also includes a mixture of ethnic sounds. There is a great deal of mixed music, particularly Latin sounds, thanks to the strains of the Spanish guitar, it is also reminiscent of eastern music and sounds typical of Scandinavian and Eastern European countries.
<br />
<br />Another important element are the lyrics of the song, which combine on a 50-50 basis the strong characteristics of Spanish with the chorus sung in English, thus giving the song a clear international character.

<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Biography</span>
<br />
<br />There are few singers able to transcend beyond the TV show that made their name. But for Jade Ewen the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest will be the springboard for her success. Regardless of whether she wins in Moscow this May, Jade’s incredible talent ensures her a fantastic future in the music industry.
<br />
<br />As Ewen, 21, so effortlessly proved during the four weeks of the selection process in the United Kingdom, Eurovision: Your Country Needs You, she is one of the finest vocalists the United Kingdom has produced in years. With the technical prowess of Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey , the classical timelessness of Diana Ross and the eternal cool of Donna Summer, Jade’s forthcoming solo album will deliver classic pop ballads with edgy electro R&B.
<br />
<br />Combining an outstanding vocal performance with cutting-edge choreography and melody-driven singles, Jade will embody the current mood in music, credible cool with a mainstream twist. Smart, stylish and extraordinarily gifted, the determined Ewen has the talent, the tenacity and the team behind her to become one of 2009’s most successful singers.
<br />
<br />Born and raised in Plaistow, East London to a Jamaican mother and British/ Sicilian father, Jade had a challenging childhood. Her dad is blind and her mum suffers from Myasthenia Gravis, leaving her partially bind and deaf. Yet being the primary carer to her parents and two younger siblings has given Jade a pragmatic, ambitious outlook on life. Since a 3 year-old singing in her grandma’s garden, Jade has systematically set her sights on turning her musical dreams into reality. With both parents unable to work and existing on disability benefits, money was far from flowing in the Ewen household.
<br />
<br />Approached by a drama school who recognised her potential, Jade practiced and rehearsed relentlessly in order to win one of the precious few scholarships on offer. As a teenage attendee of Sylvia Young Theatre School, she appeared in The Bill, Casualty and Mr. Harvey Lights A Candle, before perfecting her onstage skills in The Lion King. A gifted singer and dancer, Jade had a brief spell in the girl group Trinity Stone, before going solo. Despite being unsigned at the time, acclaimed producer Kwame (Missy/ Mary J. Blige), was so impressed with the music he heard on Jade's MySpace, he invited her to record with him in New York.
<br />
<br />A few months later, and Jade was approached about the Eurovision Song Contest. Initially unsure of what to expect, all doubts were cast aside when she learnt that Andrew Lloyd Webber and Diane Warren were involved. Her dazzling performance of Warren and Lloyd Webber’s It’s My Time in the final week saw Jade storm the voting polls to be crowned as Great Britain’s representative in Moscow this May.
<br />
<br />While the Eurovision Song Contest is her immediate focus, there's a solo career to also consider. Performing It’s My Time in Moscow alongside Lloyd Webber is just the first note in Jade’s musical lifeline. “I see Eurovision as the beginning of the rest of my professional life,” decides Jade. “You’re seeing the start of a 20, 30 year career.”
<br />

<br />
<br />Вышел из тени вновь, мой враг - моя любовь
<br />Неизбежна моя доля, сколько сердце ни готовь.
<br />Но, прежде чем уйти, колечком золотым
<br />Обручил меня с собою и от чар не защитил
<br />И на волю мою душу не пустил
<br />
<br />Мамо, а ти ж мені казала як не жадай
<br />Мамо, а я ж тоді не знала де ж та біда
<br />Мамо, а ти ж мені казала час як вода
<br />Мамо, мамо, мам, любов - біда
<br />
<br />Брошу мечту свою и об пол разобью
<br />Как сломал ты мою долю и оставил на краю
<br />Я дождем девичьи слезы разолью
<br />
<br />Мама, а ты же мне сказала: не ожидай
<br />Мама, а я ж тогда не знала где ж та беда
<br />Мама, а ты же мне сказала время вода
<br />Мама, мама, мама, любовь - беда...

<br />Out of the shadows once again, my enemy, my love
<br />Destiny can’t be avoided, no matter how much you’re prepared
<br />But before you left, with golden ring
<br />you proposed to me and didn’t save me from sorcery
<br />and didn’t let my soul be free
<br />
<br />Mum, you’ve been telling me not to desire
<br />Mum, at that time I didn’t know where trouble lied
<br />Mum, you’ve been telling me that time is like water
<br />Mum, Mum, Mum, love is trouble

<br />I will throw away my dream and smash it on the floor
<br />How you’ve broken my destiny and set it aside
<br />I will pour girl’s tears like rain

<br />Mαμά
<br />Πέρα από τις σκιές, ακόμη μια φορά, ο εχθρός μου, η αγάπη μου,
<br />αναπόφευγκτη είναι η μοίρα μου, σεν έχει σημασία πόσο προετοιμάστηκες.
<br />Μα πριν φύγεις, με χρυσό δαχυλίδι
<br />με αρραβωνιάστηκες, και δε με γλίτωσες από την κατάρα,
<br />και δεν άφησες ελέυθερη τη ψυχή μου
<br />
<br />Mαμά,
<br />και μου έλεγες να μην επιθυμώ.
<br />Μαμά,
<br />και τότε δεν γνώριζα ποιό ήταν το πρόβλημα.
<br />Μαμά,
<br />και μου έλεγες πως ο χρόνος κυλάει σα νερό.
<br />Μαμά, μαμά, μαμά,
<br />η αγάπη είναι βάσανο.
<br />
<br />Θα πετάξω μακρυά το όνειρό μου και θα το συντρίψω στο πάτωμα,
<br />έτσι όπως διέλυσες τη μοίρα μου και την άφησες στην άκρη,
<br />θα χύσω τα δάκρυα ενός μικρού κορίτσιου σα βροχή
<br />

<br />
<br />Anastasia Prihodko was born on 21st of April 1987 in Kyiv, Ukraine. She was educated in the National University of Fine Arts in Kiev.
<br />
<br />A kind, smart and friendly girl from Kiev, Anastasia has an interesting and rarely low deep voice like that of an opera’s diva. She has graduated from a music academy, the department of folk vocal.She sings quite unordinary minor songs and folk songs in both the Russian and Ukranian languages.
<br />
<br />Anastasia writes music herself and considers that the most successful experience she has had in international festivals was in Bulgaria, where she had taken the third place.
<br />
<br />Before choosing to be a singer, Anastasia was trying to find herself and tried her hand at many different musical areas. She is able to play flute, guitar and piano.
<br />
<br />Anastasia is very independent and appreciates independence, that is why since she was 15 she has been earning money herself. She pays great attention to critique, always trying to improve herself. Singing is the most important thing in her life, but she also has some other hobbies. These include chess, horse riding and fashion, and particularly likes black outfits.
<br />
<br />In July 2006 Anastasia successfully passed all national selections to the Star Factory show directed by the Meladze brothers, and in December 2008 became the winner of the project. After Konstantin Meladze had presented the song Bezotvetno to her she sang it with the famous Russian artist Valeriy Meladze.
<br />
<br />At the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in Moscow, Anastasia will carry the Russian hopes of a second successive victory performing the song Mamo, which is written in Russian and Ukranian by Konstantin Meladze, her producer and music father.

<br />LYRICS
<br />
<br />S’il fallait le faire,
<br />J’arrêterais la terre,
<br />J’éteindrais la lumière
<br />Que tu restes endormi.
<br />S’il fallait pour te plaire
<br />Lever des vents contraires,
<br />Dans un désert sans vie
<br />Je trouverais la mer…
<br />Et s’il fallait le faire,
<br />J’arrêterais la pluie,
<br />Elle fera demi-tour
<br />Le reste de nos vies.
<br />S’il fallait pour te plaire
<br />T’écouter chaque nuit
<br />Quand tu parles d’amour,
<br />J’en parlerais aussi…
<br />
<br />Que tu regardes encore
<br />Dans le fond de mes yeux,
<br />Que tu y vois encore
<br />Le plus grand des grands feux.
<br />Et que ta main se colle
<br />Sur ma peau, où elle veut.
<br />Un jour si tu t’envoles
<br />Je suivrais, si je peux…
<br />
<br />Et s’il fallait le faire,
<br />Je repousserais l’hiver
<br />A grands coups de printemps
<br />Et de longs matins clairs.
<br />S’il fallait pour te plaire
<br />J’arrêterais le temps,
<br />Que tous tes mots d’hier
<br />Restent à moi maintenant.
<br />
<br />Que je regarde encore
<br />Dans le bleu de tes yeux,
<br />Que tes deux mains encore
<br />Se perdent dans mes cheveux,
<br />Je ferai tout plus grand,
<br />Et si c’est trop ou peu,
<br />J’aurais tort tout le temps
<br />Si c’est ça que tu veux…
<br />Je veux bien tout donner
<br />Si seul’ment tu y crois,
<br />Mon cœur veut bien saigner
<br />Si seul’ment tu le vois,
<br />Jusqu’à n’être plus rien
<br />Que l’ombre de tes nuits,
<br />Jusqu’à n’être plus rien
<br />Qu’une ombre qui te suit.
<br />
<br />Et s’il fallait le faire…

<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">BIOGRAPHY</span>
<br />
<br />The biggest stars in the Netherlands will be taking the stage for their homeland in Moscow. They've broken every record in their country and are more than ready to astonish Europe now!
<br />True fans of the Eurovision Song Contest
<br />
<br />The Toppers, Gordon and René Froger, are true fans of the Eurovision Song Contest and have, for many years now, been closely following its development. Their best memories of this event originate from the time that they were little boys sitting and watching the contest with their families on cosy evenings.With pen and notepad on their lap and a bag of crisps close at hand, they awarded points to each song and then compared these to the points given by the jury.
<br />
<br />During their concerts over the past four years, the Toppers rendered many medleys of old and new Eurovision Song Contest songs. “Our participation is like a dream come true and an absolute milestone in our careers.We are enormously proud that we are representing The Netherlands at the biggest music event in the world and our trip to Moscow is going to be one big and “over the top” spectacle that no one can ignore.”
<br />
<br />With their song Shine The Toppers believe that finally, after all these years, The Netherlands can break through to the finals. The song is about the fact that if people have a positive attitude they can solve nearly every problem.
<br />A successful tradition uniting people
<br />
<br />What began in May 2004 as a one-off event with three successful Dutch solo artists, has now grown into a very successful tradition. Toppers in Concert – René Froger, Gordon and Gerard Joling – has broken each and every record since.
<br />
<br />This is the show that thousands and thousands of people look forward to each year. More than 850,000 people have enjoyed these shows in The Amsterdam Arena. During these high energy shows, the audience merge to become one big happy family.
<br />
<br />The Toppers are very successful More than 1,500,000 CDs and DVDs sold (all number one positions in the charts) and fourteen completely sold out shows in the Amsterdam Arena remind us of this success.
<br />
<br />2009 is the year in which the Toppers celebrate their 5th anniversary.It is also the year in which The Toppers proudly announced Jeroen van der Boom as being the new Topper. He has now taken the place of former Topper, Gerard Joling.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rene Froger</span>
<br />
<br />René’s (born on the 5th of November in 1960) professional career started off in 1987 with his hit single Winter In America. From that moment on, René became more popular than ever. Numerous hit singles followed which made him a well established artist in the Dutch showbiz.
<br />
<br />His regular concerts transformed into mega-events like the ones in the Ahoy venue. René was the first Dutch artist to do three consecutive "sold-out" shows in the Kuip Stadium. After his four stadium concerts in the Amsterdam Arena in 2004, René committed himself for a few years to the intimacy of theatre.He also further developed the concept of Toppers in Concert. In the meantime, he worked on a new musical adventure and launched his first Dutch album in 2007. The first single, taken from this album, stormed the Dutch charts.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Gordon</span>
<br />
<br />All-round artist Gordon (born on the 6th of July in 1968), started his professional career with the number one hit single Kon Ik Maar Bij Je Zijn, many more hit singles followed. A star was born! From that moment on, he starred in many radio and television shows. Because of his special sense of humour, he is cherished by large audiences.
<br />
<br />For more than 18 years now, he is a successful and well-respected artist and besides his solo and Toppers activities as a singer, he knows how to surprise Holland, time after time, with his hilarious and innovative radio- and television programmes. Also, as a juror of successful television programmes like Idols and the X-factor, he knows how to criticise the candidates in a humorous manner but remains sincere and professional. In 2008, Gordon launched his new solo CD A Song For You with an ode to Donny Hathaway. In the meantime, he also published his first book , a collection of his columns which he wrote for a national newspaper and various magazines.
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Jeroen van Der Boom</span>
<br />
<br />Jeroen van der Boom (born on the 22nd of June in 1972) has been performing since he was twelve years old and can be rightfully called a megatalent. During his college years, he already became a very popular singer/musician until he made his debut in 1992 as a television host. However, performing as a singer always remained his passion and out of hundreds of candidates, he was selected for leading roles in the musicals Barcelona and Novo Mundo. He was also gifted with an impersonation talent and this was revealed in the very popular television/animation series Café De Wereld.
<br />
<br />In 2007, Jeroen scored two consecutive number one hit singles. He also starred in Lionel Ritchie’s Symphonica In Rosso in the Gelredome Venue in Arnhem. Since November last year, Jeroen joins René Froger and Gordon as the new Topper.

<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Biography</span>
<br />
<br />Six beautiful and talented girls from Estonia are representing the tiny Baltic country this year. They want to give a breathtaking show and think 'it doesn't matter whether to sing for your grandmother or on the stage of the Eurovision Song Contest'.
<br />
<br />Urban Symphony - combining electronic sounds with acoustic instruments
<br />
<br />Urban Symphony was formed two years ago, when singer Sandra Nurmsalu took part in Estonian Television’s most popular young soloist competition Kaks Takti Ette, which included a bands' round. That was what sparked the idea to combine modern electronic music with acoustic instruments to find new and sometimes surprising resonance and colour.
<br />
<br />Urban Symphony comprises of the singer and violinist Sandra Nurmsalu, cellists Johanna Mängel and Mari Möldre and viola player Mann Helstein, all of whom have been deeply involved in music since childhood. For performing their Eurovision Song Contest entry, Marilin Kongo and Mirjam Mesak joined the group to sing back vocals.
<br />
<br />Urban Symphony girls, who between them have over 40 years of experience in playing musical instruments, admit that as they are young they grant themselves the right to reconsider things, to start their quest all over again or to alter course completely. They are interested in beauty in its purest meaning. The music of Urban Symphony should have a fairy-tale-like effect on listeners – simple, sincere and dreamy.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sandra Nurmsalu</span>
<br />
<br />Urban Symphony’ singer is Sandra Nurmsalu. 20-year-old Sandra has two passions – singing and violin playing and Urban Symphony has given her the chance to combine these. Ten years of violin studies in classic music have also taken her to the roots of Estonian folk music – for seven years, she played and sang in folk group Pillipiigad giving concerts and performing at festivals all over Estonia and in Europe. For 3 years she has also been part of folk band Virre.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Johanna Mängel</span>
<br />
<br />Johanna Mängel is 18 years old and cello studies have been part of her life for twelve years. Outside her classical music studies, Johanna has thanks to her inherent curiosity played cello not only in various local and international orchestras, but also in rock bands – well-known Estonian bands Aides, Slide-Fifty, Vennaskond. Besides playing musical instruments, Johanna is interested in composing, fashion and film, and she also writes critical reviews of various music events for music magazines.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mari Möldre</span>
<br />
<br />The baby of the band is the 16-year-old Mari Möldre, who started practicing cello already at the age of six. Despite her young age, she has always been dedicated to music, for besides cello playing she has been involved in singing and piano playing, taken part in various projects and been a part of several musical collectives. Numerous performances have taken her to different places in the world – even Australia! When she has time left over from school and music activities, Mari takes an interest in architecture and drawing.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mann Helstein</span>
<br />
<br />Mann Helstein is Urban Symphony’s viola player. She started her studies at the age of ten, learning to play violin. By today, the 21-year-old Mann has as a member of various international orchestras travelled all over Europe. In addition, she is currently studying quality and environmental management.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Marilin Kongo</span>
<br />
<br />Back vocal singer Marilin Kongo is 22. She got introduced to music through dancing, which she has been practicing since the age of five. In addition to dancing and singing, she is very closely engaged in a multitude of musical projects.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mirjam Mesak</span>
<br />
<br />The 18-year-old Mirjam Mesak is also singing back vocals. She has been actively involved in music for ten years and at the moment she is studying classic song besides preparing to finish secondary school. Mirjam first appeared on the Eurovision Song Contest stage at the age of twelve, when she was part of an interval act at the Eurovision Song Contest held in Tallinn in 2002. In Helsinki in 2006, Mirjam sang back vocals to Gerli Padar in the Estonian entry Partners In Crime.

<br />
<br />The creative genius of Svetlana Loboda performs for Ukraine at this year's contest. She's a local icon in many areas, starting with singing and ending with script writing and fashion.
<br />Svetlana Loboda - singer, composer, musical and fashion producer, script writer
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Svetlana Loboda was born on the 18th of October, 1982</span> in Kyiv, the 2005 Host City of the Eurovision Song Contest.
<br />
<br />Studying piano, conducting, variety and jazz vocal, having the experience of composer, leading role actress in musical, TV host, designer, photographer, singer in Ukraine’s, Russia’s and CIS most popular girls band and finally a solo artist, in her 27th year Svetlana has come up as one of the top music stars in her country.
<br />
<br />From very early ages the future queen of epatage showed a strong tension for music and acting, showing the real home musicals for her parents and relatives on family holidays. In the specialized music school Svetlana studied piano and at the same time mastered the art of singing and conducting.
<br />
<br />Having finished music school Svetlana didn’t give up her music studies and entered the department of variety and jazz singing at Kyiv Variety And Circus Academy. It was the time, when she become a member of the band Cappuccino. In 2003 Svetlana Loboda participated in the casting for the first ever Ukrainian professional musical The Equator, where she got the leading role of Mirana.
<br />
<br />In December 2003, Svetlana started a new band – Catch. She works out the repertory and stage costumes for the band. That was her first professional experience of composer and designer.
<br />
<br />In 2004 Svetlana went to the casting for VIA Gra band, well-known in Eastern Europe and having successful gigs in Japan and other countries. Thanks to her vocal, choreography, and magnetic image she managed to surpass nearly 500 rivals and became a new soloist of the band. Svetlana’s first appearance as a member of the band was a special guest performance in the TV-show Star Factory.
<br />
<br />At the end of November 2004 Svetlana Loboda started her solo career.
<br />
<br />Svetlana’s first solo music video was Cherno-Belaya Zima (Black-and-white Winter). In a year, in November 2005, she released her debut album Ty Ne Zabudesh (You Won’t Forget).
<br />
<br />In 2006, Svetlana worked as the presenter for the TV-programme ShowMania and in 2007 become the host of Miss CIS.
<br />
<br />In Spring 2008, the singer released the album Ne Macho (Not Macho).
<br />
<br />April 2008 saw the launch of her own fashion line wearing the name F*ck The Macho. The scandalous, as it may seem, the idea became the popular trend and stylish concept, expressing social protest against false glamorous trends and sticky stereotypes.
<br />
<br />The creative potential of Svetlana doesn’t end up with the described! Later on, in Autumn 2008, she tries herself as the script writer for the music video Za Chto (For What) which proved to be a success.

<br />I’m by your side when you’re away

<br />No strings attached, no drawing lines
<br />You fill my thoughts even when you’re not here
<br />I close my eyes, close my eyes and I feel
<br />You’re there!
<br />
<br />Take my love, take my heart
<br />Carry me with you in your dreams
<br />No, no never let go
<br />Wonder of love – Magical glow.

<br />
<br />Albania will have one of the youngest performers this year but none the less a total professional, having won several prizes and having a career of more than six years!
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kejsi Tola</span>
<br />
<br />She was born on the 5th of February in 1992 and will now represent Albania in the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest.
<br />
<br />Kejsi is studying in the artistic lyceum of Jordan Misja in Tirana.

<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Biography</span>
<br />
<br />
<br />One autumn morning in a small village in the south of Moldova a young woman prayed to her god; she asked: “Give me, My God, a girl who would become a singer!”. So on October, 28th 1974 in the village of Саnia in the Kantemirsky region, Nelly Ciobanu entered this life.
<br />
<br />She is a bright, beautiful girl with captivating charisma; from her first moments on stage she has stunned her audiences with her unique ability to capture a hall with her resonant voice.
<br />
<br />She made her professional debut in the Morning Star competition in 1994, which ended with a spectacular victory for the 19 year old singer; she was awarded the first prize and attracted general admiration, both from spectators and professionals. Eminent musicians were heard to say "This girl has a brilliant future".
<br />
<br />Following her performance in the 1996 competition Maluri de Prut, she was acclaimed as the best young pop singer in the country. In 1997 at the contest Mamaia, 97 Nelly was awarded the third prize, and with it, recognition of her musical and artistic talents in Romania.
<br />
<br />After the Sea of Friends competition in 1998, Nelly’s silver voice echoed along the Black Sea coast of Yalta. She took the third prize in the contest and won the permanent devotion of the audience. The special fire of the Moldavian singer and her Intriguing voice made her a general favorite with a second place at the contest Voice of Asia in 1999. The same year Nelly received the first prize at the contest Vladimir Ivasiuk and the recognition of the Ukrainian public. In 2000, at the prestigious Slavianskij Bazaar contest in Belarus, Nelly created a fantastic atmosphere, leading to the first prize in the festival. The crowd enthusiastically bade farewell to "the Moldavian nightingale" with a standing ovation.
<br />
<br />All of Moldova held its breath as it watched Nelly’s performance at the New Wave contest in Jurmala in 2003. Even though she won the second prize, all of the participants, spectators, and juries declared that the Moldavian singer Nelly Ciobanu was the most important discovery of the festival.
<br />
<br />The creative career of Nelly Ciobanu has developed steadily; she sings on the same stage with Western and Russian stars and her concerts in Eastern and Western Europe, China and Korea are planned for years in advance. Nelly Ciobanu became the face and pride of Moldavian artistic expression; wherever her voice is heard, people talk of the small country in the Centre of Eastern Europe with respect.
<br />
<br />Over the last few years the singer has released four albums, with a fifth in preparation. Now she will present the song Hora from Moldova at the 2009 Eurovision contest. The music was composed by Vyacheslav Daniljuk with lyrics by Andrey Gadzhiu and Nelly herself.
<br />
<br />Despite her youth, Nelly is the most authoritative singer in Moldova confirmed by the VIP award, offered every six years. In 2001 Nelly Ciobanu received the rank of Honoured Artist of Moldova. Since 2007, she has hosted one of the most popular TV music programs in Moldova Vedete La Bis .
<br />
<br />Three years ago Nelly became a happy mum, and she dedicates her performance in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 to her small daughter who became for her the most important audience in the world.

<br />I've had it all as a little child
<br />I've done it all as a little child
<br />But the pain that I had
<br />For the fame that I got
<br />Was for what?
<br />A little girl is crying alone
<br />A little boy searching for his home
<br />Giving up to a sin
<br />For a heart-craving dream
<br />Is that a sin?
<br />
<br />Chorus:
<br />If you really love
<br />The love you say you love (really love)
<br />Then surely that love would love ...
<br />Then surely that love would love to love you back
<br />If you really love
<br />The love you say you love (really love)
<br />Then surely that love would love ...
<br />Then surely that love will love you back
<br />
<br />For just one moment
<br />We all wanna be
<br />Just as happy
<br />As one can be
<br />(So don't you make the same mistake
<br />You gotta give for what you take)
<br />And don't you break
<br />A little girl or boy
<br />They're crying at home alone
<br />A faithful song
<br />Will lead the way to make you strong
<br />
<br />Chorus:
<br />If you really love
<br />The love you say you love (really love)
<br />Then surely that love would love ...
<br />Then surely that love would love to love you back
<br />If you really love
<br />The love you say you love (really love)
<br />Then surely that love would love ...
<br />Then surely that love will love you back

<br />Take a chance, and take a hold
<br />Give it all and turn it to gold
<br />Time has come, so make a stand
<br />On your own , and take command
<br />Beat the odds, you will survive
<br />Stronger now, you feel alive
<br />Rising up, get into place
<br />Feel it in your heart,
<br />When you are, winning this race
<br />When I look into your eyes
<br />It comes, as no surprise
<br />
<br />This is our night, fly to the top baby
<br />Yes we can do it, just wait and see
<br />
<br />This is our night, time for a change baby
<br />Get rid of the old, take a hold, and be free

<br />Don't back down, just look within
<br />Do it now, I know you will
<br />When I look into your eyes
<br />It comes as no surprise

<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Biography</span>
<br />
<br />On the 12th of February 2009 Azerbaijan announced the launch of the Eurovision duo of AySel & Arash. Young AySel will compete for the victory in this year's Eurovision Song Contest along with the experienced songwriter and artist Arash.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">AySel</span>
<br />
<br />AySel was born in Baku on 25th of April, 1989 in the family of a University professor. Her Zodiac sign is Taurus, the underpinning of her ambitious, committed, self-confident personality, who loves the atmosphere of competition. AySel is just 19, but her ambition coupled with the faith in her talent has already led the young artist to the main stage of the European show business, the Eurovision Song Contest stage, as the representative of Azerbaijan.
<br />
<br />AySel started to sing at the age of four. She begun taking part in national vocalists’ competitions when she was eight. In 2001, she won the prestigious Azerbaijani contest Рohre. At thirteen, AySel enters a Baku music school where she learns to play the piano and sung in the choir. The piano is AySel’s passion since childhood. No wonder, since AySel’s parents still keep a unique XVIII-century piano at home.
<br />
<br />In 2004 AySel went to study in the USA as a student of the exchange program FLEX. Within days from her arrival to the USA, she signed up for the local choir and begun training for young vocalists competitions. During her year in the US, AySel won 3 gold medals at prestigious contests which were held in the Southern Arkansas University and in the University of Texas at Austin.
<br />
<br />Currently she continues her studies in the Azerbaijani University of Foreign Languages and is simultaneously working hard to prepare for the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in Moscow.
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Arash</span>
<br />
<br />Famous singer, author, entertainer and producer Arash was born the 23rd April 1977 in Tehran, Iran. At the age of ten he and his family moved to Sweden. His debut album Arash was released by the Warner Brothers Music in June 2005, after he had finished college. His singles, Boro Boro (Go Away) and Temptation, made it to the hit lists around Europe, and their respective videos garnered significant airplay on more than twenty MTV outlets across the world. In addition he has had hits notably in Eastern European and South-East European charts. He has gone gold in 5 countries: Germany, Russia, Slovenia and Greece for his album, Arash, and in Sweden for Boro Boro.
<br />
<br />Arash has Azerbaijani roots that is why he had decided to take part in the Azerbaijani Eurovision Song Contest national selection. In February his song Always won the selection to represent the country. On the 12th of February 2009 Azerbaijan announced the launch of the Eurovision duo of AySel & Arash. The decision to create the duo of AySel and Arash was taken by the seven-member jury of the Azerbaijani national final.

<br />LYRICS
<br />
<br />I see it in your eyes, you wanna dance with me tonight
<br />It’s raining on your body as you’re puttin’ up a fight
<br />The way you’re moving, how you groove is somewhere out of sight
<br />You know it’s only fair to tell you that you do it right
<br />
<br />Now with a little luck, I’m gonna meet you on the dance floor
<br />Just by the way you move, you make me beg for more
<br />I’m burning with desire, it’s the night I’ve waited for
<br />
<br />Don’t you lose your emotion
<br />Don’t you be shy tonight
<br />Let the rhythm show you
<br />Baby, you can do it right
<br />Alright tonight
<br />
<br />Come on, dance with me, make me lose my way
<br />Take a chance with me, make my body sway
<br />It’s an overload in a disco fantasy
<br />Let’s dance the night away
<br />
<br />Just yesterday we were on the floor
<br />Like somewhere in a movie or a club in Singapore
<br />The lights are bright, the mood is raw
<br />And in the middle of the night, we dance till we get sore
<br />And in the middle of the night, I’ll meet you on the dancefloor
<br />Gonna meet you, move your body, beg for more
<br />With a rhythm and a beat, I’ll rock you to the core
<br />
<br />Don’t you lose your emotion
<br />Don’t you be shy tonight
<br />Let the rhythm show you
<br />Baby, you can do it right
<br />Alright tonight
<br />
<br />Come on, dance with me, make me lose my way
<br />Take a chance with me, make my body sway
<br />It’s an overload in a disco fantasy
<br />Let’s dance the night away
<br />
<br />Dance with me
<br />Dance dance dance with me
<br />Dance with me
<br />
<br />Come on, dance with me, make me lose my way
<br />Take a chance with me, make my body sway
<br />It’s an overload in a disco fantasy
<br />Let’s dance the night away
<br />

<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Biography</span>
<br />
<br />The skilled singer and dancer Zoli Adok will represent Hungary at the Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow with the song named Dance With Me.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Zoli Adok</span>
<br />
<br />Despite his young age, Zoli’s career has been quite eventful so far: after finishing his dance studies in Pécs, he started his career in 2000 with Le Dance Contemporary Dance Music Company and moved on to travel around the world as a dancer and musical actor participating in musicals like in Fame, at the Habse Theatre is Basel, Switzerland as well as in Cats at the Theatre am Potsdam Platz in Berlin with 500 performances from 2004 to 2007. Back home, he currently stars at Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber’s (who's also the author of the UK song this year!) Amazing Technicolor Dreamboat as Levi, at the Madách Theatre.
<br />
<br />Right after the song contest, he will be playing the leading role in Contact, a musical by Susan Stroman starting in June. Besides these projects he also appeared in numerous musical shows where he sang and danced songs from Mamma Mia, Chicago and Cabaret, among others. In 2008 Zoli’s debut album Tánclépés (Dance With Me) hit the shelves of Hungarian music stores.
<br />
<br />Zoli Adok recently gave his debut as a movie-actor as well: he is acting in the movie named Alom.net (Dream.net) which will be shown at Hungarian cinemas this spring and will also feature two of his songs on the soundtrack album.
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dance With Me!</span>
<br />
<br />Dance With Me – the song that Zoli Adok will perform in English at the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest in Moscow – is an up-tempo hit. It is a modern pop-song for the lovers of high standard party-music.
<br />
<br />The song was written by one of today’s most talented Hungarian songwriters and producers, Szabó Zé and was mixed by a highly appreciated Swedish producer, Thomas Törnholm. He is well known for his hits written for the band Alcazar (Crying at the Discoteque, This Is The World We Live In, Sexual Guarantee). The lyrics of the English version were written by a native English speaking lyricist, Kasai.

<br />LYRICS
<br />
<br />You made it so easy
<br />to fall, I could not stand at all
<br />I saw you beside me
<br />You never saw me there at all
<br />
<br />I promised you all this
<br />I made plans thinking this was it
<br />I never imagined
<br />I'd find you and lose myself instead
<br />
<br />I never had a picture of an end
<br />
<br />and I - I wanna believe in love
<br />I wanna believe in something bigger than the two of us
<br />And I - I wanna breathe again
<br />I wanna go back to the days
<br />the days I had my innocence
<br />I wanna believe again
<br />
<br />I picked up the pieces
<br />and put them back where they belong
<br />but something's missing
<br />though I look the same, I'm not that strong
<br />
<br />but I'm gonna learn to trust again
<br />
<br />and I - I wanna believe in love
<br />I wanna believe in something bigger than the two of us
<br />And I - I wanna breathe again
<br />I wanna go back to the days
<br />the days I had my innocence
<br />I wanna believe again
<br />
<br />Believe there's hope
<br />for everyone
<br />Wanna believe again
<br />for without love
<br />what do we become
<br />
<br />I never had a picture of an end
<br />
<br />and I - I wanna believe in love
<br />I wanna believe in something bigger than the two of us
<br />And I - I wanna breathe again
<br />I wanna go back to the days
<br />the days I had my innocence
<br />I wanna believe again

<br />Biography
<br />
<br />Brinck won the Danish national selection with Believe Again, a song about rediscovering your faith in love. It was written by Ireland’s Ronan Keating (former member of Boyzone) and Denmark’s DeeKay (Lars Halvor Jensen & Martin M. Larsson) and is performed by Brinck.
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Brinck</span>
<br />
<br />Born and raised in the Danish city of Århus, Brinck has been drawn to music his whole life, first as a songwriter, then as a producer and now as a singer whose debut album Brinck was a Top 10 hit last year.
<br />
<br />"Originally, I didn’t see myself – or have enough faith in myself – as a singer. But then I started getting all this positive feedback on the songwriter material I was sending off with me doing the demo vocals: "That’s a cool tune, but who’s doing those power vocals?!"" Brinck explains.
<br />
<br />He moved to Copenhagen four years ago and, in addition to writing and producing, has been working on developing his vocal skills. After spending some time at the Music Conservatory and trying out other avenues, he found himself more and more attracted to the challenge of performing and to the role of the vocalist. So when he finally made his debut with In The End I Started as the theme song to the Danish detective series "Anna Pihl" (second and third seasons), people were taking note of his interesting composition style and his voice – which comes across as both powerful and fragile and displays a rare charisma.
<br />
<br />Coinciding with Brinck’s entry in the Danish Eurovision Song Contest national selection, his debut album Brinck was re-released on the 2nd of February. Three new songs were added to the album, including Believe Again.
<br />
<br />Brinck’s album is full of modern-sounding pop songs that convey an astonishing range of emotions, from deep sensitivity and sentimentality to raw insistence and even outright desperation.
<br />Facts time!
<br />
<br /> * Believe Again reached number one on iTunes, the Download chart and Danish National Radio’s Tjeklisten chart, and reached number five on the Top 100 airplay chart
<br /> * Believe Again single went gold and platinum in the downloads category
<br /> * The album went gold in Denmark and been on the Top 20 chart for months
<br /> * So far, the album has produced three Top 20 hits: Believe Again, In The End I Started and I Don’t Wanna Love Her – and there’s still more to come!
<br /> * Brinck and his band will play more than 30 concerts in Denmark this summer

<br />LYRICS
<br />
<br />Cítim chladné ...
<br />tiene zradné...
<br />Túžbou planie
<br />čo je na dne...
<br />Prázdno v duši, to sa stáva
<br />Horkú príchuť temno máva
<br />My musíme vyjsť
<br />z tieňov nástraha slov
<br />srdce daj , nezúfaj,
<br />a leť tmou...
<br />Tiež to cítim, tiež sa bojím...
<br />sen sa chveje strachom mojim...
<br />
<br />Chvíľa straty,chvíľa strachu
<br />keď sa nádej váľa v prachu...
<br />My musíme vyjsť
<br />z tieňov nástrah a slov
<br />srdce daj, nezúfaj,
<br />a leť tmou...
<br />My musíme vyjsť
<br />z tieňov nástrah a slov
<br />srdce daj , nezúfaj,
<br />a leť tmou...
<br />... ale kam...?
<br />neviem v tejto chvíli
<br />každý raz sa zmýli
<br />ticho vo mne šepká
<br />Nezostávaj sám...!
<br />
<br />Keď sa blíži
<br />odpustenie
<br />mraky obáv
<br />odoženie
<br />Nezablúdiš, si si istý,
<br />keď ťa niekto pevne istí,
<br />Bože nech nás tvoj hlas
<br />vedie temnotou v nás
<br />daj nám dar,
<br />zázrak sprav
<br />láskuvráť ...
<br />Láska prosím....
<br />Láska nech nás tvoj hlas
<br />vedie temnotou v nás
<br />daj nám dar,
<br />zázrak sprav
<br />stoj pri nás.... lásku chráň!

<br />LYRICS
<br />
<br />It’s a question that drives us
<br />to where we must go
<br />It’s the unknown that drives from us
<br />what we want most
<br />But the firefly sits in the corner in rest
<br />
<br />And he won’t care of you stare
<br />but believe me, it’s best to let go
<br />Don’t just go with the flow
<br />
<br />And the firefly comes to you
<br />sits on your finger
<br />
<br />It shatters and shakes
<br />but she wants you to go with her now
<br />Follow her, out there, hm…
<br />
<br />The firefly is spreading her wings open wide
<br />thinks the sky will come crashing down, fall to her side
<br />She’s afraid, but her fear’s only fair
<br />
<br />So fly with the firefly
<br />Fly side by side
<br />Escaping the chains that held you from life
<br />Don’t look down
<br />You’re over the edge
<br />
<br />Jump, take a leap of faith
<br />Jump, take a leap of faith
<br />
<br />It’s a question that drives us
<br />to where we must go
<br />
<br />It’s the unknown that drives from us
<br />what we want most
<br />but the firefly sits in the corner in rest
<br />
<br />It’s a question that drives us
<br />to where we must go
<br />It’s the unknown that drives from us
<br />what we want most
<br />
<br />Don’t just go with the flow
<br />But the firefly sits in the corner in rest
<br />
<br />It’s a question that drives us
<br />to where we must go
<br />It’s the unknown that drives from us
<br />what we want most

<br />Biography
<br />
<br />Cyprus' entrant this year is Christina Metaxa who performs a song written by her older brother. She's one of the youngest performers this year but will do everything possible to show the world 'teenagers have the strength to set targets and follow their inner light'.
<br />
<br />Christina Metaxa - Χριστίνα Μεταξά
<br />
<br />Cyprus’ entry is sung by 17-year-old student Christina Metaxa. The song is called Firefly and it was written and composed by Christina’s older brother Nikolas Metaxas. The inspiration behind the song was Christina herself.
<br />
<br />Nikolas says: “Christina is shy and sensitive and she often needs an extra push to take risks in her life and pursue her dreams, as all teenagers do. Firefly tries to tackle the insecurities and doubts that people often have and give them a motive to take a ‘leap of faith’.”
<br />
<br />Christina has many talents and has participated in various singing competitions and school performances. In March this year, Christina had one of the leading roles in a Cypriot production of the musical Mamma Mia. As well as singing, Christina is a talented artist and paints to relax. She also dances and is a member of Diastasis young dancers group, one of the most famous cultural groups in the island of Cyprus.
<br />
<br />Christina also writes poetry and children stories and is ready to publish her first book with three stories for children as well as her first poetic collection. She also composed two songs for which she also wrote the lyrics.
<br />
<br />Christina was deeply touched and honored by her brother’s decision to write a song for her. Firefly is a song that talks about the importance of having faith in our dreams, the importance of finding the light we have inside of us and of having the strength to take the necessary risks to reach our dreams even if we have to look a bit different than the crowds.
<br />
<br />Christina sees participating in the Eurovision Song Contest as one of the biggest challenges of her life so far. She hopes to make her brother and Cyprus proud. Christina says: “I want to show the world that teenagers have the strength to set targets and to follow their inner light despite the difficulties and negative challenges of today’s world.”

<br />LYRICS
<br />Years ago when I was younger
<br />I kinda’ liked a girl I knew.
<br />She was mine, and we were sweethearts,
<br />That was then, but then it’s true
<br />
<br />I’m in love with a fairytale
<br />Even though it hurts.
<br />‘Cause I don’t care if I lose my mind;
<br />I’m already cursed
<br />
<br />Every day we started fighting,
<br />Every night we fell in love.
<br />No one else could make me sadder,
<br />But no one else could lift me high above
<br />
<br />I don’t know what I was doing
<br />But suddenly we fell apart.
<br />Nowadays I cannot find her.
<br />But when I do we’ll get a brand new start
<br />
<br />I’m in love with a fairytale
<br />Even though it hurts.
<br />Cause I don’t care if I lose my mind;
<br />I’m already cursed
<br />
<br />She’s a fairytale
<br />Yeah
<br />Even though it hurts.
<br />Cause I don’t care if I lose my mind;
<br />I’m already cursed

<br />LYRICS
<br />
<br />I can’t say the words
<br />I feel inside so deep
<br />Cause when the clouds come out
<br />I feel so incomplete
<br />
<br />I know the sun shines down on me
<br />I see it now
<br />The rain won’t get to me
<br />I just wanna live my life the way it’s meant to be
<br />
<br />I don’t wanna leave
<br />But it’s my destiny
<br />I will wrap my arms around the world
<br />You’ll see
<br />That I am not a child
<br />Cause I’m standing taller this time
<br />Take it step by step,
<br />Do my best, that’s right
<br />But I will never say goodbye.
<br />
<br />For so long now
<br />I’ve been dreaming in the dark
<br />I was too scared to feel
<br />The things held in my heart
<br />
<br />Don’t you know this is meant to be
<br />I’ll let it out
<br />Cause it’s getting hard to breathe
<br />I just wanna live my life the way it’s meant to be
<br />
<br />I don’t wanna leave
<br />But it’s my destiny
<br />I will wrap my arms around the world
<br />You’ll see
<br />That I am not a child
<br />Cause I’m standing taller this time
<br />Take it step by step,
<br />Do my best, that’s right
<br />
<br />I don’t wanna leave
<br />I don’t wanna leave
<br />But it’s my destiny
<br />
<br />I’ll never say goodbye
<br />Never
<br />I don’t wanna leave
<br />But I’m standing taller this time
<br />Take it step by step,
<br />Do my best, that’s right
<br />But I will never say goodbye.

<br />Biography
<br />
<br />The Polish song will be presented this time by a strong female singer Lidia Kopania. Her last record was written by people who're responsible for stars like Phil Collins, Michael Jackson and Christina Aguilera.
<br />Lidia Kopania
<br />
<br />Lidia is a versatile singer, endowed with a very warm and at the same time strong voice, with a very broad – four-octave vocal range.
<br />
<br />In the Eurovision Song Contest, Lidia Kopania will present a song called I Don’t Wanna Leave, which proves that there are no borders in music. The piece for the Polish singer was co-composed by a German composer born in Moscow, Alex Geringas.
<br />
<br />Lidia Kopania has released three albums so far: Beating The Morning Rush (2004), as well as Intuicja (2006) and Przed Switem (2008).
<br />
<br />The unique voice matches the artist’s beauty, and the enthusiasm with which she sings infects the audience at her concerts. She performs different songs, sometimes calm and sometimes extremely dynamic, full of inspiring, positive energy.
<br />
<br />Her lyrics, both Polish and English ones, move and encourage reflections, from which we usually run away. They are about the world around us, which, despite its hypocrisy, nasty surprises and dispelled dreams, is still beautiful.
<br />
<br />When making her latest record, Lidia cooperated with Bernd Klimpel and Jens Lueck, and also with Rob Hoffman and Heather Holly. The pair has been behind the success of stars such as Janet Jackson, Phil Collins, Sheryl Crow, Michael Jackson, Hole, Quincy Jones and many more Heather and Rob can also boast the enormous success of Christina Aguilera, whom they managed and have been cooperating with up until now.

<br />LYRICS
<br />
<br />Moja stara cipela,
<br />pola sveta videla,
<br />gde god da stanem, tu mi dom;
<br />
<br />tamo pa vamo,
<br />istok pa zapad,
<br />ma gde god stigao, bio sam na svom.
<br />
<br />Hvata me panika,
<br />ta stara navika,
<br />srce bi krenulo za njom;
<br />
<br />a ja budala,
<br />stara baraba,
<br />ma sve nek propadne, teraću po svom.
<br />
<br />Nije, nije,nije me htela,
<br />sve dok pare ne skupim;
<br />ma more, nije, nije, nije, nije, nije me želela
<br />dok se ne obogatim,
<br />sasvim!

According to them they will 'rock Russia' with their song Et Cetera!<br />Sinéad Mulvey<br /><br />21 year-old Sinéad Mulvey started singing professionally at the age of thirteen when she was picked from hundreds of girls for the lead role of Cinderella in a Dublin pantomine.<br /><br />Her passion for singing and dancing set alight, she has been working consistently on her stage performance since, appearing in many high-profile productions and TV programmes in Ireland. Sinéad came very close to representing Ireland in the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest when she made it to the national final. She was delighted when her dream came true this year as her performance with Black Daisy saw Et Cetera top both the public and jury vote in this year’s Irish final.<br /><br />Sinéad says, “I have been a Eurovision fan for as long as I can remember. Representing Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest is truly a dream come true for me and I can’t wait to Rock Russia with Black Daisy and Et Cetera!”<br />Black Daisy<br /><br />Black Daisy are an all girl pop/rock group who hail from Dublin, Ireland. 26 year-old LA Halvey (short for Lesley-Ann) from Limerick is singer and bassist, 21-year-old Nicki Billings, from Wicklow is on guitar, while Asta Mileriene, originally from Alytus, Lithuania is the drummer. Asta started playing drums in a band called AIRIJA (Ireland in Lithuanian). In 2001 she moved to Ireland and continued her music career with NOJUS, a Lithuanian band based in Dublin.<br /><br />Black Daisy are a fun loving upbeat band, with influences ranging from 80s music to pop/chart music and of course good old Rock'n'Roll! The girls write their own songs and gig regularly in venues to audiences everywhere.<br /><br />Black Daisy are Ireland’s only high profile all girl rock band, and intend to continue to play their infectiously catchy music all around the world....starting with Moscow!! The girls are delighted to team up with singer Sinead Mulvey to represent Ireland with the extremely upbeat catchy song Et Cetera, and promise to make Ireland proud in this year's Europe's favorite TV-show!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RkKsem2SYzY/Sgr6BtV5QqI/AAAAAAAAA18/p_qGNB3fWwA/s1600-h/eurovision+moscow+002.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 247px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RkKsem2SYzY/Sgr6BtV5QqI/AAAAAAAAA18/p_qGNB3fWwA/s400/eurovision+moscow+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335351615832015522" border="0" /></a></span>EurovisionGRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09233795794140882403noreply@blogger.com7
