 Eurovision Song Contest 2015 - The POST EUROVISION DEPRESSION Cure: What
an amazing 60th Eurovision Song Contest ORF and EBU staged in the
Wiener Stadthalle in three amazing shows with two Semi Finals and the
Grand Final on Saturday 23 May 2015. 40 countries competed with 20
countries making it into the Grand Final meeting the the Host Country
Austria as well as the Big 5 (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and United
Kingdom) plus special guest Australia. The 60th contest was won by Måns Zelmerloew from Sweden with the song "Heroes"
Many fans and journalists left Vienna with tears in their eyes saying
farewell to two weeks of a real good time departing from the Eurovision
Family for yet another year. The POST EUROVISION DEPRESSION (PED) has
conquered Europe and beyond and Eurovision Radio International is the
best cure for it week by week as we reflect on the Eurovision Song
Contest 2015 with broadcasting the many interviews done in Vienna. For
the results of the Semi Finals and the Grand Final please go to eurovision.tv or click here.  Interview with Teach-In's Getty Kaspers (Dutch Winner of the 1975 Eurovision Song Contest): Eurovision In Concert
2015 too place in April 2015 with many of the Eurovision artists of
2015 as well as previous special guests - the Bobbysocks whose interview
Radio International aired last week. The evening before the concert was
a meet and greet for the fans that had already arrived in Amsterdam.
Special guest there was amongst others Getty Kaspers of Teach-In who still holds the last Dutch victory at the Eurovision Song Contest with "Ding-a-dong"
in 1975. The Team of Radio International had the big pleasure of
interviewing Getty which you can hear during this week's edition of Radio
International.

 Interview with Kirsten Siggard from Hot Eyes (Denmark 1984, 1985 and 1988):
The OGAE UK's Eurobash 2014 too place last October and had as one of
the special guests Kirsten Siggard of Hot Eyes fame. This triggered the
invitation of OGAE Germany's Branch in Berlin for Kirsten to perform at
the Eurovision Weekend Berlin 2015 which took place on 17 - 19 July
2015. Kirsten represented Denmark together with her then singing partner
Soeren as Hot Eyes three
times at the Eurovision Song Contest. She was pregnant on stage on two
of the three occasions firstly in 1984 when Hot Eyes came fourth with
the song "Det' lige det (That's just it)". The year after, 1985, they came 11th with the song "Sku' du spoerg fra no'en (What business is it of yours?)" and then in 1988, performed highly pregnant the song "Ka' du se hva' jeg sa' (Can you see what I said?)"
which came third. The Team of Radio International had the big pleasure
to meet the singer once again for an interview you can hear on this week's edition
of the show. You can also watch this interview on our YouTube Channel - click here
 Interview with the Sunstroke Project (Moldova 2010): Occasionally,
it happens that previous Eurovision participants return to the current
Eurovision Song Contest to support their current act which was the case
when the Sunstroke Project came to support Eduard Romanyuta who
represented Moldova (although being Ukrainian) at the Eurovision Song
Contest 2015 in Vienna with the song "I want your love". Flashback to 2010 when Moldova as well as in 2015 opened up the Eurovision Song Contest with the Sunstroke Project together with Olia Tira. The song was "Run away"
and made it from Semi Final 1 into the Grand Final and reached Number
21 at the end of the voting that night in Oslo. Back in May 2015 - in
the Press Centre of the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 and just before the
shows many artists go to the press centre promoting their country's
entry with interviews, photo shoots, live links, etc this is how JP met
the Sunstroke Project yet again for an interview and what have they been
up to over the past five years. Listen to this interview on this week's
edition of Radio International.You can also watch this interview on our YouTube Channel - click here
