Malmo 2013: The Ten Best Performances, Hand-picked!

EUROVISION LVIII has been come and gone in over a week, however some of the performances have been in my honest opinion, as tops.

With that in mind, here are the ten best performances of EUROVISION LVIII Malmo:

 

El Sueno de Morfeo "Contigo Hasta el Final"

 

 

Who See Klapa "Igranka" (featuring Nina Zizic)

 



 

Gor Surjan & Dorians "Lonely Planet"

 

F. Cezar "The Voice" Ouatu "It's My Life"

 

Adrian Lulgjuraj "Identitet" (featuring Bledar Sejko)

 

Cascada "Glorious" (Same guys who did "Everytime We Touch")

 

 

Margaret Berger "I Feed You My Love"

 

Koza Mostra "Alcohol is Free" (featuring Agathonas Iakovidis)

 

Alena Lanskaya "Solayoh" (NOTE: she has a personal Facebook page of her own.)

 

Heilsarmee (Takasa) "You and Me"

 

 

 

So those are my ten best performances of ESC LVIII. Later on this week, I will rank all 39 ESC LVIII entries. Where will these ten fall on the list? Stay tuned.

 



Malmo 2013 39 For 39: Alena Lanskaya "Solayoh"

Malmo 2013 '39 For 39' rolls on with Alena Lanskaya with "Rhythm of Love" "Solayoh."

Why the title and song change? Remember, she won the Belarussian national final with "Rhythm of Love," but changed the song to a different beat. Either way, they're both good. It's not like Litesound last year when "We are the Heroes" tweaked the sound a bit for the stage in Baku. I still like both, despite the chance that if I had a choice, I'd say their studio version was better. Keep in mind, she was disqualified after initially winning the national final for Baku last year, resulting in Litesound heading to Baku. This time, she got away scot-free.

See for yourself whether or not you liked the song change by listening to "Solayoh":

My final jury: I have decided to break down the review into two:

• Don't even compare "Solayoh" with "Rhythm of Love." Both great, both would make the final either way.
• Don't compare this with "We are the Heroes" by Litesound. Both great tunes, and I hoped that Litesound would've made the final last year.

I hope this one will head to the grand final on May 18.

EDIT: forgot to add that the official music video for this song is out. It's on the EUROVISION YouTube page.

Up next: Roberto Bellarosa "Love Kills."
