We will not Freddie Portelli to the Eurovision, then.
We will send Re-nato, in line with the PES logo of &quot;Re:new.&quot;

With Europe in turmoil, Renato&#039;s &quot;Mitna ta&#039; xejn&quot; should be a major hit and will re-unite Europe.  It is definitely Baxxter&#039;s all-time favourite.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This year the Italians will have a copy cat on stage.  She&#039;s called Nina Zilli and she&#039;s the double of Amy Winehouse, or she tries to be.  

I hope she will change the look.

					<description><![CDATA[Daphne, let&#039;s face it.  Who would want to go to Baku, Azerbaijan, for the Eurovision Song Contest?  

Have you watched that video where Kurt Calleja was invited over to one of their festivals?

The public sat in upright seats, reminiscent of a communist culture, in a big hall, more like the chinese parliament in session.  

I could not see any sense of enthusiasm whatsoever from the audience.
