eurovision 2007 :: the pmed round-up

This year's Eurovision is pretty uneventful for dance fans, with only two proper pmed tracks making it to Helsinki.

Bulgaria's Elica Todorova & Stoyan Yankulov Елица Тодорова & Стоян Янкулов will actually open the semi final on 10 May with Water, which despite the English title apparently will be sung in Bulgarian. The song, presented with the original title Voda Вода in the Bulgarian final, is maybe closer to ethnic trance than dance, but pretty great in any case. A nice remix version has also turned up on the internet. Bulgarian tv has even shelled out money for a decent video:



Cyprus is the only other pmed entry this year, and starts as number three in the semi final. Evridiki Ευριδίκη has represented Cyprus twice before, the first time back in 1992 with Tairiázoume Ταιριάζουμε and in 1994 with Eímai ánthropos ke egó Είμαι άνθρωπος & εγώ. This time around, her entry reflects the direction she has taken more recently together with her producer and boyfriend Dimítris Korgialás Δημήτρης Κοργιαλάς, who has written and produced Comme ci, comme ça. In my opinion, the remix version is even better than the original, but in any case, I think the song is going to do well. I wouldn't mind attending the Eurovision in either Nicosia or Sofia next year, for that matter!

Cypriotic tv has also invested in a nice video, and kept the tourist board out of the production:
