Anna Vissi & Tereza in Paris

esctoday.com reports:
Next Autumn, Paris will host two concerts given by former Eurovision Song Contest artists. On October 10th, Anna Vissi (Greece 80, Cyprus 82 and Greece 06) is performing at "Le Grand Rex", a famous music hall of the capital-city. On the day before, she will sing in Brussels (Belgium), at "Le Cirque royal".
On November 16th, another Euro-veteran, and twice contender for the Eurovision Song Contest crown, is expected at L'Olympia, the most famous Parisian concert hall. Tereza Kesovija (Monaco 66 and Yugoslavia 72) will be accompanied by the Great orchestra of Croatia.
This is not the first time that the Croatian artist has given concerts in France. She recorded a number of records in France, from the mid-60's to the early 80's, including a French version of her 1972 Yugoslavian entry, under the title "La musique et toi". Another interesting fact is that she published a vocal version of the "Te deum" of Marc-Antoine Charpentier, the Eurovision Song Contest hymn.

"VRT had invited us to write the theme song," the boys of X!nk start elaborating on their role in Junior Eurosong 2007. "And because VRT supported us so much a couple of years ago, we wanted to do something in return." X!nk succeeds Gene Thomas, who wrote the theme song of Eurosong for Kids last year. It has recently been silent around X!nk, but that will change soon! "You can say we took some rest, but since the end of last year, we have been busy writing new songs," says Jonas, the lead singer of X!nk. "Our new single should be released at the end of July or in August. We are still writing new songs for a new album. That will take some more time." ...read more.....
