2016:
Kaliopi – Dona
I would love to have the courage to wear vinyl pants when I am almost 50, and more power to this 49 year old for continuing to try to rock out. I think there will be a dark horse ballad that will take out this year’s event. Go the power ballad!
If there is an 80’s tinge to this song that because that’s when Kaliopi started her career. She is an institution in Macedonia. She has not been an Idol contestant, but she has been a judge on that show. This is not her first time to Eurovision either. After almost getting to Eurovision in 1996, Kaliopi finished 13th in 2012 which was the best result Macedonia since 2006. She was also in the mix for selection in 2005 and 2006 and I think Eurovision needs more Kaliopi.
Despite her result in 2012, her popularity in neighbouring countries and the fact this song is pretty good, the bookies do not rate Kaliopi and Macedonia at all. This song is aimed at the older Eurovision viewers and they still vote, as proven in 2000. Why is this not top 20? Ah, that’s right, #NotASongContest…
It may not be a song contest, but it may be a dress contest. I love Xena Warrior Dress from 2002
