I hope you’re liking the videos I’m posting this year so far. I could pick the birthday boy’s/girl’s Eurovision performance, but instead I’m picking the preview videos or national final performances, if they exist. The trouble with some countries is that their chosen song is in one version in the national final, but changes by the time it reaches the chosen host city. Our friends in Slovenia have been known for doing that. Today’s birthday girl Maja Keuc In EMA 2011 her song was called Vanilija, presumably about ice cream. She then ditched that and it became No one. Personally I like it when songs are sung in a country’s own language, but know of no one who hates ice cream. So maybe the change was not such a bad thing after all. Maja is 24 today.
Srečen rojstni dan, maj!
