Since the Eurovision Song Contest has been around since 1956 it is not surprising that we have lost some of the artists that have entertained us through the years. Here are some, but certainly not all, of the performers that have passed away:

Frida Boccara (1940-1996), "Un jour, un enfant", France 1969

André Claveau (1915-2003), "Dors mon amour", France 1958

Grethe Ingmann (1938-1990), "Dansevise", Denmark 1963 (together with her then husband Jørgen Ingmann)

Toše Proeski (1981-2007), "Life", Macedonia 2004

Ingvar Wixell (1931-2011), "Absent friends", Sweden 1965

I HATE that 1972 Dutch entry like you wouldn't believe. His suit actually has ric-rac around the lapel? We used to make crafts out of that stuff in vacation bible school! LOL I think her dress is lovely, however. She's quite a good singer, with a decent song, she'd be really good. Edit.... I just looked, and yes, there is some much better stuff there of them. This is great, and her voice is quite impressive:

Today's theme is girl groups. No songs from the 50s and 60s today, because groups were not permitted to enter until the early 1970s.

Israel 1976, Chocolate Menta Mastik - "Emor Shalom"

Switzerland 2005, Vanilla Ninja - "Cool vibes"

Ireland 1981, Sheeba - "Horoscopes"

Spain 2006, Las Ketchup - "Bloody Mary"

Since yesterday's theme was girl groups I guess it comes as no surprise that today is all about boy bands! Well, at least bands consisting only of boys/men. tongue.png

    • Agree.  But I would describe him as being disappointed not bitter. 
    • >>><<< Great minds!  Kat certainly does prove that point. She's been given a lot to work with, so we shouldn't be bored of her anytime soon. I am interested in all her storylines at the moment, and curious how the show will use the affair to impact her romances and business stories. Well, what movie was it? Cause… I noticed it too. The first couple of seconds of the song were slightly different. OMG! Great call, precisely the same situation.
    • I think Kin was dissatisfied at GH in as much as Scotty had been pushed aside for Luke/Laura and the writing was doing him no favors as Scotty was now seen as an obstacle to their romance. So with his contract up he was offered big $$$ to move to Texas, which you can't blame him for. In addition to the money, I recall he was promised that Jeb would be a more dynamic character than Scotty. The money came through but not the story, so  don't blame him for being  slightly bitter.
    • My usual video hosting site, acct: shallotpeel Video title:  1997 Daytime Emmys abridged Soaps Only 1997 Daytime Emmys Awards Presentation Show, on 5-21-1977, in New York, at Radio City Music Hall, and featuring the Rockettes, in primetime, on NBC, with special hosts Susan Lucci & Regis Philben.

And, Elmo pulled a fast one on Rosie, about Oscar!!!  Regis introduced from AMC John Callahan & Eva Larue who presented for the Best Writing with nominees AMC, DAYS, GH & Y&R & it happened, a tie!

    • A random thought - June is related to Hayley AND Tyrell and Samantha. Hayley and June are sisters separated when young. Years later June's children Ty and Sam end up being adopted into the Dupree family, coincidentally giving Hayley a further link to that family.
    • He spoke highly of the cast but was disappointed in his lack of story.  He was not disrespectful and he has the right to express his feelings.
    • I like Nicole the most, because she's the only normal person, even if she slides into psych-analyzing speak. I like Anita--but I suspect that's more about my attachment to Tamara Tunie. I'm on the fence about Dani--but I don't see her as the underdog vs. Nicole. Dani had her a fabulous life. Nicole might not have lived in her sister's shadow, but it seems like Dani gets the attention in the family.
    • I definitely wouldn't mind seeing him again. I understand.  BUT...a start.

      I thought this was Debbi Morgan and squeeled!
    • Cody could have been Derek. He shows a lot more emotion in the scenes he gets than Gavin ever has.
