RTCG Stream
mms://beotelmedia.beotel.net/tvcg
What is this, you ask? Why, this is the official streaming link for RTCG (Radio i Televizija Crne Core). So you can type this into Windows Media Player, VLC media player, or any media player of your choice and it should work, and then you can watch Sunčane Skale, or you can watch Montenegrin TV all day long if you want to. Sunčane Skale is also going to be on the following channels:
MRT (Macedonia Radio Television)
CMC (Croatian Music Channel)
DRS (Drugacija Radio Stanica)
BHRT (Bosnia-Herzegovina)
Z1
Net TV (Slovenia)
KCN (Kopernikus Cable Network)
Balkanika Music Television
DM Sat
Svet Plus - Radio i Televizija
Elmag RTV
Televizija BGD - tvbgd.com
SC - 29.06.2013 - 9pm (CET)
PS: I found out here that it also starts at 9:00pm (CET). I also found out that Montenegro is one hour ahead of us (the UK) so that's 8pm GMT. (Seriously are we the only country in the world to use GMT or what?)
Anyway, I hope this helped you! :D

Sunčane Skale Official Facebook Page
Hello everyone, I've got a link to share with you all today, Sunčane Skale got a new official facebook page! All y'all with FB should go like, it already has 52 and the page has only been up for like, a day or something. By the way, the contest is this Saturday (I know, that came around quick), it's also been over a whole month since ESC.
Very soon I'll make a post detailing the stream that the Montenegrin TV station (RTCG) do, and other stuff, so that those of us not in the countries where it's being shown can watch it as well.

Tahmina's New Song - Fairytale About Love
You might remember Tahmina Nayazova, she represented Tajikistan at Sunčane Skale 2012 last year with the song Boom Boom Boom and did very well. Now she has a new song, Fairytale About Love. Link provided by MeshPR, who helped a lot with that last post I wrote about Sunčane Skale, and he also wrote the lyrics to this song. Enjoy!

Suncane Skale site updated, MP3s added
Well, I'm not exactly sure when this happened, but checking the Suncane Skale website just now, I see that all the MP3s have been added for all the songs from this year's contest, I guess because the contest is now only two weeks away (!) Well, I better get downloading, you should too!

Greece withdraw from Eurovision 2014...?
"Today the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) expressed profound dismay on behalf of Europe’s entire public service media community at reports that ERT – a founding Member of the EBU in 1950 – has been shut down with immediate effect." - eurovision.tv
"ERT may stand for: Ellinikí Radiofonía Tileórasi, Greece's former state broadcaster" - Wikipedia
Looking at the news today, the Greek national broadcaster, ERT, has now been shut down 'to save costs' with immediate effect. Now Greece does not official have a state broadcaster. And, as ERT is Greece's member of the EBU, no ERT means no there'll be no Greece for ESC. It looks highly unlikely the Greece will be participating in the Eurovision next year. So yes, it's not even one month after the final (or even one month after the first semi final) and already we have our first withdrawal. I just hope that this does not set a precedent for things to come.

More about Sunčane Skale 2013
Hey everyone, Britski here. I've just recently received an email from the project leader of Sunčane Skale and who was also in the PR for the Macedonian delegation from ESC 2013, and he told me a lot of stuff I didn't know about the contest this year, so I thought I'd share all of these things with you guys.
Well, first thing's first, I now have a link to the official Telman video, rather than a reupload - Тельман - Сердце пополам
He then also very helpfully linked me to a video of Mave O'Rick - Heaven, which was posted on Youtube yesteday.
Mave O'Rick is a German singer who took part in the Swiss national final this year, but didn't get through to the live show. Here is Mave O'Rick's song 'My Beat', which took part in the national final selection process.
And here is an article in which Mave O'Rick speaks to ESC Daily about this song.
And now about Ellyland:
"Ellyland from Azerbaijan is also very well known there not only in Germany. She was at the Azeri National Final 2010 when Safura won. She is better known as Elli in Azerbaijan. In Germany she started now the new project "Ellyland" thats why you see so many german comments on this video :) The song is at the moment released in Germany, Austria & Switzerland (so far as I know)"
I didn't actually know that Ellyland had taken part in the national final, but I found Elly's 2010 NF video here if you want to see that. She is also a former member of the German band Bisou which was formed on the German TV show Popstars by German rapper Bushido.
More on the Eurovision connection now, Pamela Ramljak was a member of the band Femminem, and Ivana Banfić was a participant at Dora, the Croatian national final for the Eurovision.
As was mentioned earlier, Glenys Vargas was the backing singer for Juliana Pasha (Albania) back at ESC 2010 in Oslo. Also, if you want to know more about this, I recently discovered that Glenys Vargas has a blog and in this article she goes into a lot more detail about her time at Eurovision 2010. If you're interesting in the behind-the-scenes type stuff at ESC, this is a very good read. Also, it appears that Glenys and Kevin have their sights set on Eurovision, and could possibly represent someone in the near future?
US/UK Entries:
2011 - Power Positive
2012 - Love Me, Let Me Go
2013 - Dream!
This will be the third time that they represent the US/UK. As always, good luck to all the entrants, and I must thank MeshPR again for his very helpful email.

On the 'popular' British attitude to ESC
Hello, Britski here. I'm here to talk to you today about the popular British attitude to ESC. Granted, not everyone in Britain shares this opinion (I certainly don't), but this is the attitude which comes across most in the media. You know the one, the snarky, Wogan attitude.
"We don't need Europe, it's all political, all the songs are horrible, look at the state of this, Eurovision's a joke" blah blah blah. Let's forget for a moment that it's more cultural than political, and that ESC has been the host to some very good songs over the years. This attitude, which started with Terry Wogan, quite frankly stinks.
Then, as the votes start pouring in, it suddenly becomes "Oh my god why don't we win this contest every year?! Don't they know we Brits invented the music industry! They all hate us we should withdraw!!!!" And they say I take Eurovision seriously?
And what's with this withdrawing nonsense every year? When the England team do horrifically and get beaten by every other team every time there's a World Cup or Euro, do people say the England team should withdraw? No! Of course they don't! So what makes Eurovision so different? If we withdraw we certainly don't win. And the reason we don't win is that we're not giving this contest the respect it deserves. We're treating Eurovision as a joke and it bloody well shows. You want the contest to be held in the British Isles once more? It's take to start taking it a little more seriously.
