BlogIlkar exclusive: VITTORIA HYDE INTERVIEW


Vittoria Hyde, a self proclaimed European alien, who has already secured her place in the Swiss Italian semifinal next month with It's your love. She's also in the running in the German part. In this exclusive interview she tells us the story behind last year's Play the trumpet. Why she was eliminated from X Factor? And she talks about Matia Bazar and Celine Dion. And what would take her to the Sanremo festival?

Bella, bionda, alta e magra – what else is Vittoria Hyde?
An alien! Hahaha. A singer, a fashion blogger and shortly a Dj and VJ. I'm hungry and foolish.
Last year your Play the trumpet was my favourite song of all national finals of the season. The all of sudden you were disqualified, what happened? Were you incazzata?
I was very very sad and incazzata of course. To present myself I have uploaded 30 seconds of the idea of the song, it was only lalala, to the Benetton website "It's my time". This short video was also on my Facebook page and I never thought it could be against the rules. I apologize to all the ones who believed in me and I'm sorry for the issue I've caused to RSI
This year you are back with another trumpet song, It’s your love and it’s fab, too. Tell us a bit about it!
One day Carlo Marrale, my producer Franco Cristaldi and I were doing a jam in our studio and BOOM Carlo came out with this beautiful melody on his guitar.
There’s a bit of Matia Bazar in it, right?
Of course, Carlo Marrale was one of the founders of the group and wrote the most successful songs, like Vacanze Romane, Ti sento, Solo tu etc.
Two years in a row in Eurovision circuit. Are you a fan?
I feel very European, I was born in Italy I grew up in Germany, now I'm again living in Milan. I have a lot of friends around Europe. Yes, I think the Eurovision is the perfect stage for myself.
What is your most memorable Eurovision moment? And your favourite song? Or a song that you wish you had performed first?
2009 when Lena won. Waterloo is my favorite song and Ne partez sans moi I wish I would have performed first.
You are trying in Switzerland but would you rather do it for Italy if you could choose?
No way……only Switzerland, copying the world success of Celine Dion
You started in Italian X Factor but it didn’t go that well, did it? But you have stayed in the spotlight ever since with Giusy Ferreri, Aram Quartet and Tony Maiello who also were there but made it to top-4. Sum up your artistic life.
They kicked me out with the verdict that I'm too international for the Italian market. After that experience I felt stronger than before. I published with my little independent record label three singles and we are preparing an album.
You have released some great tracks like Un sogno qualunque, Cuore and Sunny people. When can we expect an album?
Mmmh I think after Christmas. For sure after Baku
;-)
What’s it with burlesque?
A hobby
And Rita Pavone?
An Icon
Back to Eurovision. If you win and go to Baku, what can we expect? A huge stage show?
A crazy one!
What’s your view on stage shows anyway? Is it more important than actual singing and the song?
A great show has to have also great music
Will be see you on stage of Teatro Ariston in Sanremo some time soon?
Yes. As a guest star!
So she will make it to the final, make a crazy show in Baku, release an album and go to Sanremo 2013 as a worldstar! But it's your love that can make that happen so vote for her! BlogIlkar thanks Vittoria for the interview and... in bocca al lupo!

ESC 2016 WISH LIST: MARGARET FOR POLAND

Małgorzata Jamroży aka Margaret has also been tipped for Eurovision and apparently she did turn it down but she'd be perfect. She's got a look and persona you can't unnotice nor forget, she's got hit songs, she has been voted or nominated for everything from Trendy artist to the Hope of the Year, Fashion Icon and Glamour Woman of the year besides the usual best video, song, album, debut..... Oh she's also a fashion designer! She's very clever with social medias and would surely use it to her advantage if selected for Stockholm 2016. Her debut album is titled Add the blonde , do we need to say more? Except it includes mostly Swedish written pop tunes like Tell me how are ya , Wasted , Start a fire and Heartbeat . And of course her debut single and internationally noticed Thank you very much that you can enjoy below with all its anti-textil feel. I think she's Eurovision perfection, she's cheeky and fun, can we have her?

MALTA: THE QUEEN OF L-GHANJA TAL-POPLU - CORAZÓN MIZZI!

If The Travellers have proven recently one can do great singing in Maltese there's also someone else doing great stuff: Corazón Mizzi. While in Malta I was looking for some Maltese CDs only to find out they pretty much don't exist, and the most helpful staff in legendary D'Amato - probably the world's oldest record store today - suggested me Corazón's Hawn jien (2014 album). Having nothing else really to bring home I decided to go or it without even realizing it is the Corazón from Maltese Eurovision selections. And what a find it was! Thank you D'Amato! But let's start from the obvious: Eurovision. Corazón has been offering us songs in the Maltese Eurovision selection since 2009, actually making her best result this year with Falling glass , one of my favorites btw. I also liked last year's Secretly but that failed even the final. But Corazón's true calling is singer-songwriter in Maltese as this excellent album clearly shows. We have al

EUROVISION 2024.... COMING UP!

 

ESC 2016 BELARUS: NAKED WITH WOLVES?

Today's funniest Eurovision related story comes from Belarus. Some sources claim Ivan wants to perform on stage naked and with live wolf or wolves. It surely would be a first on Eurovision stage! We have seen some forgotten underwear over the years, and some cardbox animals though..... Is it time to take things a bit further?  No, according the rules live animals are not allowed, and Eurovision being a family show nudity won't do either. (It seems to be ok to be half naked if you are a dancer though..... )

EUROVISION TWEETS REVEAL DETAILS....

Brandwatch, one the world's leading providers of analytics of social medias has summed up the Twitter buzz during the Eurovision 2013 final on May 18, 2013. Over 1,8 million tweets have been analyzed and it's rather fascinating stuff. On top you can see the figure showing topics. Romania and Ireland got the tweeting go wild as did Greece, Belarus, Malta and Armenia. And you can see political tweets took over during the voting..... The figure above is for the emotions. Once again Romania and Greece got it going wild. A lot of love and joy was spread all over during the show while hate & anger increased during the voting. Is someone surprised? But have a look and analize yourself here . And here you can access to country by country details. Did Ukraine's giant get people's attention? or Moldova's outfit? Did Ireland have sex factor? Or Azerbaijan? And what about Belgium's dance routine?
