Casting On Macbeth By Mark Brozel

Give the Eurovision Song Contest € his dignity back!

are expected again tomorrow night in the Caucasus and the Balkans, hair-raising "vocal Päckli was formed and lead to a totally absurd result of this once-venerable institution," Grand Prix ". Thus one expects.

What the resignation tuned, long-suffering, and the success of "Lordi" fatalism dilapidated ESC veteran, however no longer dared to hope are two exceptional young singers who give back this song contest some of its former glory. One comes from the northern flank of the Euro-vision broadcasting area, the other marked geographically the southernmost tip of the cultural (not geographical!) In Europe. And both are to be provided with an attribute that is not a recalling of the past 15 years at the song contest immediately to mind: challenging.



are talking about Didrik Solli-Tangen of Norway and Harel Skaat from Israel. With Didrik Norway sends a classically trained opera singer in the race, which shines with a powerful tenor voice, sometimes even with José Carreras on stage and, like his friend, the equally talented last year's winner Alexander Rybak , Oslo at the renowned Barratt Due Music Institute completed. In the required embassy receptions in last week convinced Didrik well with his grandiose pop ballad "My Heart Is Yours" as well as trips to the serious subject such as the art song "Dedication" by Richard Strauss, which earned him overwhelming enthusiasm of the audience.

Israel Harel, although he has been discovered in a comparable American Idol talent show, one of the most successful, popular and national music awards showered Singers and musicians of his country. His repertoire is also very versatile, even as an interpreter of great songs (such as Jacques Brel), he has made a name. His opulent arranged ballad "Milim" (English: "Words") stands out precisely because of their deep sentimentality. And no, thankfully, it is this very typical, consistently presented Hebrew and thus currying favor waiving Chanson not about Middle East policy in the broadest sense, but rather disappointed, hurt feelings of an unhappy lover.


My ESC recommendations for those at the big final on Saturday evening (from 21 clock live on ARD) really again large, soulful ballads, and especially the right song by televoting inclined to reward are loud, so clear: number 3 and # 24!


number 3: Didrik Solli-Tangen, Norway, "My Heart Is Yours":






# 24: Harel Skaat, Israel, "Milim"
