One of the hosts named

After much speculation one of this years hosts has finally been announced. Jason-Scott Watkins who hosted the event in 2006 and 2007 again has signed up again to leader the audience through a sparkling evening of entertainment. Speaking to one of our sources Jason-Scott said "I'm just thrilled the organisers had the sense to pick me again....it's an event close to my heart."

And when asked about a co-host " well i can't really confirm that yet but i do believe she will be the most important women in the whole of creation"

who could this woman be??

France confirmed

Despite placing second from the bottom in 2006 and 2007, France has been the first country to confirm it's participation in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest Coburg. The French delegation have hinted that their song will be a ballad with a tribal flavour. They also promise that particular emphasis will be placed on hand choreography or as it would be know on Battle of the Choirs handography.

This is not calling UK

After what audiences may remember as a slight technical hitch with message bank at last years contest, organisers have announced that only votes from within the arena will be counted this year. They have also promised that neighbour voting won't be an issue as they don't even talk to their neighbours after the ginger bread incident of 2006.

Date is announced!

We have just heard that a date has been set for this years Eurovision Song Contest Coburg.... 8Th November 2008. The concert is reportedly beginning at 8pm with the doors opening at 7pm so the audience can enjoy a beverage before what should be a remarkable evening.

Youtube a source of knowledge

Many of this year's contestants are becoming as modern as tomorrow by seeking inspiration from YouTube. This is just another example of how eurovision is moving with the times and catching up to the 90's. Gone are the days of hiring choreographers and stylists, artists are now turning to the Internet to see what can be done with a trip to St Vinnies, a pedestal fan and a web cam.

Bigger than ever!

Organisers make the claim that the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest Coburg will be bigger than anything we have seen in the past. While they remain beyond tight lipped about what audiences can expect our sources have been able to established that there is quiet a large budget on staging. Other whispers include an addition to the hosting line up, but we are unable to confirm any names at this time.

Arrivederci Roma

After only participating for the first time in Eurovision Song Contest Coburg in 2007, Italy has made a shock withdrawal from this year's contest. While officials state that this is due to San Remo being a more popular competition, many fans believe it is an act of bad sportsmanship. Nel Blu di Pinto di Blu better known as the classic Volare failed to win favour with the audience on the night coming 4Th with 68 points. Some experts have claimed there was a bias towards the United Kingdom but others speculate that the entry was just far too dated for the modern audience. Perhaps we will see a ritornare in 2009?
