TOP5 Famous moustaches (France 2014)

More than 1000 songs have already taken part in the ESC. More than 1000 artists have acted on the ESC stage. And we have also seen lots of different styles: hard rock, ballads, opera, dance music... 

Through the years this styles are changing but there's something that remains through decades: the moustache.

Let's see a TOP5 of artists that have acted with a moustache on his face.

#5. Bill van Dijk - Jij en ik (the Netherlands 1982)

His moustache and his hips didn't convince the people at all, even it's quite hypnotizing!

#4. Koza Mostra feat. Agathonas Iakovidis - Alcohol is free (Greece 2013)

The ska group Koza Mostra and Agathonas' moustache received more than 150 points in the final. The last moustache to be in ESC. 

#3. Domenico Mondugno - Piove (Italy 1959)

One of the most recognized eurovision artists all over the world HAD A MOUSTACHE on the stage!!! Bravo Domenico!

#2. Dschingis Khan - Dschingis Khan (Germany 1979)

The weirdest german performance. Even the moustache puts a courious smile on our face. Love you Mr Khan.

#1. Brotherhood of Man - Save your kisses for me (the United Kingdom 1976)

Martin Lee form Brotherhood of man is our number 1 today as they were in 1976. His moustache makes us fall in love with him. 

In 2014 we're going to have the biggest moustache in ESC ever. It's because of the French song by Twin Twin. Love it or hate it!

HAIRY KISSES

TOP5 Addicted to the ESC stage! (San Marino 2014)

Valentina Monetta represents her country, San Marino, for the third time in a row. First, it was 'the social network song', then 'crisalide (vola)' and now 'maybe (forse)', the three songs composed by Ralph Siegel.

She's not the first artist to be three time on the Eurovision Song Contest stage. Even there are some who's been FOUR TIMES!!! But let's see a top5 of artists that have been addicted to the stage.

#5. Domenico Mondugno (Italy 1958, 1959 and 1966).
It was his first time in ESC when he sang his song 'Nel blu dipinto di blu' and it was a succes worldwide; even he failed to win the contest.

#4. Anna Vissi (Greece 1980, 2006 and Cyprus 1982)
She's really famouse in Greece and Cyprus, but it was until his third participation in the contest in 2006 when she starten to be a well-known artist throughout all Europe.

#3. Carola (Sweden 1983, 1991 and 2006)
She won the contest in 1991 and she came back 15 years later but she hadn't the same luck.

#2. Lyss Assia (Switzerland 1956 (x2), 1957 and 1958).
She was the first ever singer to win the Eurovision Song Contest in 1956. Next year, 1957, she came back but she almost stayed at the bottom of the chart. She was so sad that she wanted to come back in 1958 just to win again even she was in a second place.

#1. Udo Jürgens (Austria 1964, 1965, 1966)
The first time was OK, the second was good, but it was until his third participation in ESC when he won with the song 'Merci cherie'.

If Udo Jürgens won it at the third participation, why Valentina can't do it?

KISSES, KISSES and KISSES

TOP5 Barbara Dex Award Winners (Moldova 2014)

Moldova's entry is sang by the unknown singer Cristina Scarlat. The jury voted her original performance as the best in O Melodie Pentru Europa 2014, and even it didn't receive the 12 points from the televote, 'Wild soul' was the winner of the night. 

The oddest thing in the performance is the dress she's wearing. A good candidate to win the Barbara Dex Award. Because of this we prepared this TOP5:

#2. Michalis Rakintzis - S.A.G.A.P.O (Greece 2002)
It left me speechless... What...? What...? What's that?

#1. Gisela - Casanova (Andorra 2008)
