 Interview with Christopher from Takasa (Ex Heilsarmee)(Switzerland 2013):
Switzerland was one of the first countries selecting their entry to the
Eurovision Song Contest 2013 with a band called Heilsarmee (Salvation
Army). The European Broadcasting Union did not agree to the band's name
and uniform on stage thus changes had to be made and only at the end of
last week the news came out that the Heilsarmee will be representing
Switzerland at the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in Malmoe in Semi Final
2 as Takasa. The song remained to be "You and me". During
the Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2013 parts of the Heilsarmee as it
still was, were present to perform the Swiss entry during the interval
act. JP met Christopher of the band of the more detailed interview which
you can hear during this week's edition of Radio International. You can watch this interview also on our YouTube Channel - click here

Serbia selected their entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in
Belgrade during a Semi Final and a Final on RTS. Radio International in
collaboration with Euro-Friends Show's Andy Simon were on location to
witness the proceedings and conduct interviews with the artists. A
couple of weeks ago Radio International aired interviews with four of
the five finalists of BEOSONG 2013 including Moje 3 who will be singing "Ljubav je svuda" (Love is everywhere) in Malmoe. Further interviews Radio International aired with Saska Jankovic (Number 3 - "Duga u tvojim ocima"), Marija Mihajlovic (Number 4 - "Halo") and SKY's (Number 5 - "Magija")
but then there was not enough time during the show to air the interview
with the runner up to Moje 3 who almost too the ticket of the girls: Dusan Svilar (Number 2 - "Spas"). Enjoy the interview Andy and JP did with charming Dusan before the Final of BEOSONG 2013.
