BIRTHDAY: Alenka Gotar from Slovenia is 42 today Does a song need a big voice? Well it depends on the song. Take a song like Kedvesem, and a big voice might not be quite right. But today’s song needs a big voice. Big voice usually means something operatic, […]
Georgian Idol will once again be used to select the Georgian representative for the Eurovision Song Contest – with the competition starting in October. Two days of auditions have already taken place last Saturday and Sunday in Tbilisi, with two more days happening in the Georgian capital, next […]
BIRTHDAY: Natalia Barbu from Moldova is 40 today Every song will have at least one fan. But it’s obvious that some songs have more fans than others. We only hear about the ones people really love. Or the ones people really don’t love. In that middle ground is […]
