Basel hat es geschafft. Wir sind die Host-City für den Eurovision Song Contest 2025. Alles, was Sie über den Event wissen müssen, gibt es hier in der Übersicht.

It’s Basel.

Bâle a été sélectionnée par la SSR pour accueillir le 69e Concours Eurovision de la chanson en mai 2025, surpassant Genève, l'autre ville finaliste.

30/08/2024

In just over one hour we shall find out if we go to Basel or Geneva.

Let’s talk about the winner Nemo and his song “The code”

First of all, I would like to make it clear from the outset that I am only judging the song, the vocal performance and the performance on stage.

The fact that they are non-binary or their clothing does not factor into my judgment, everyone is welcome to the competition.

In reality, there are many other aspects that I didn't like:

I was afraid throughout the performance that they would fall and get hurt. Indeed, I found that it was more of a sporting performance, or even a circus show (and that is not pejorative in my mind because I have always admired the acts of circus artists) but not at all a musical performance strictly speaking.

Besides, vocally, I find their voice quite painful to listen to, and finally, this succession of lyrical, rap and a little bit of sweetness by adding a chorus were not very exciting for my taste, I really don't like it and cannot get into it. I have never liked songs where musical styles multiply and even more when rap interferes in the song unless it is a very small part integrated into the song (think Blondie and “The tide is high”)

In summary, this song combined everything I don't like.

Nemo won, they deserved it. Many people certainly liked their risk-taking and their universe, but I will always remember that they only finished 5th in the televote, which proves that even if they were appreciated by the European public and beyond, there were still four other artists ranked before.

It seems Liam and Noel Gallagher are no longer looking back in anger — Oasis is officially getting back together.

After a 15-year feud, the band’s co-founders and siblings will let bygones be bygones as they prepare for a reunion tour in the U.K. next year. The Gallagher brothers announced Tuesday that they will play 14 shows in summer 2025, including four at London’s Wembley Stadium and four at Manchester’s Heaton Park. Other stops include Cardiff, Edinburgh and Dublin. Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. local time on Aug. 31 via Ticketmaster, GigsAndTours.com and SeeTickets.com.

“There has been no great revelatory moment that has ignited the reunion – just the gradual realization that the time is right,” a press release stated. “Yet the timing must be a subconscious influence. This Thursday represents 30 years to the day since their electrifying debut album ‘Definitely Maybe’ was released, while 2025 will see the equally essential second record ‘(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?’ reach that same anniversary.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hzrDeceEKc

Trump played Foo Fighters’ 1997 anthem in welcoming Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to the stage at a Friday (Aug. 23) rally in Glendale, Ariz., held after the independent presidential candidate suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump for president. “I don’t think too many of you people have heard of him, he’s very low-key,” Trump said just before the chorus of “My Hero” began to play. “He’s a very low-key person, but he’s highly respected. He is a great person. I’ve known him for so long. For the past 16 months. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.”

“Foo Fighters were not asked permission, and if they were, they would not have granted it,” a spokesperson previously told Billboard of the unauthorized usage. Furthermore, “appropriate actions are being taken” against the campaign, the spokesperson added, noting that any royalties received as a result of the campaign’s usage of the track will be donated to the Kamala Harris/Tim Walz campaign.

The Trump campaign’s use of “My Hero” marks the sixth instance this month in which an artist has accused the campaign of using their music without permission. One day prior to the campaign’s use of “My Hero,” Cheung posted a 13-second video to his X account featuring Trump stepping off a plane to the strains of Beyoncé’s “Freedom” — a track the Harris/Walz campaign had been using as its official anthem, with Beyonce’s permission, for weeks prior. Shortly after Beyonce’s record label and music publisher sent the Trump campaign a cease-and-desist, Cheung removed the video from his account.

U2 are to release an “immersive” new concert film, which was shot during their Sphere Las Vegas residency.
In new film ‘V-U2’, U2 want to give fans an experience as “close” to the shows they put on at the revolutionary entertainment venue “as possible”.
The Edge, who directed the concert film alongside Morleigh Steinberg, said: “The goal was to give the immersive moviegoers as close to the live U2:UV concert experience as possible – and then some.
“I’ve never seen a U2 show. I’m so relieved I caught a great one.”
In a trailer for ‘V-U2’, which will be exclusively screened at Sphere Las Vegas from September 5th, The Edge jokes: “After all these years, I get to see a U2 show.”
U2 played 40 gigs at the futuristic venue, and the run came to an end in March.
U2s made the final show special by performing a virtual duet of ‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’ with Crowded House star Neil Finn, after he emailed over vocals for them to use onstage.
Frontman Bono revealed U2 are big fans of the new version of the classic track, and they will attempt to record it.
He told the audience: “The other day we got a beautiful e-mail from Neil Finn, who wrote this bewilderingly beautiful song.
“Attached to the e-mail was a version of the song he said we could play whenever we wanted. It’s a new version that he did, and we’re going to try and record it.
“Neither party has spoken to our record label [about releasing this], so this might be the only recording that might ever exist. Please take your phones and send it to whoever loves freedom you know. Maybe send it to people that don’t [too]. There’s a few of them around.”
The band also thrilled fans by playing their 1983 track ’40’ for the first time since 2016 – revealing it had a special meaning for the final show of the residency.
Bono explained: “It’s been 40 days and 40 nights in the desert. What’s a fellow with a messianic complex going to do? Here’s a song we wrote in 40 minutes. I opened up the sacred text of the Psalm of David. I just kind of read it out. That was the lyric.”
The final show also included an appearance by their collaborator Daniel Lanois, who joined them onstage for a rendition of ‘One’.

Stevie Wonder performed his classic ‘Higher Ground’ at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago but first urged Americans to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

When he came on stage, Stevie told the crowd, “This year I’ve prayed very hard for peace to come to our world’s nations but also to each one of our hearts. Even though our hearts have been beaten and broken, beyond prayer, I know the important action. And now is the time to understand where we are and what it is going to take to win. When the broken hearts, when the disenchanted, when the angry spirits … now is the time. This is the moment to remember when you tell your children were you were and what you did. As we stand between history’s pain and tomorrow’s promises we must choose courage over complacency. It is time to get up and go vote.

“Listen, the choice is clear. Clearer than anyone else is saying. Did you hear me? Clear than anyone else is saying, you feel me? We need to choose joy over anger, kindness over recrimination, and peace over war every time. We must choose to be above the ugly words, the hateful anger and the division those works and anger create we must keep on keeping on until we are truly a united people of these United States and then we will reach a higher ground”.

WWF Club - 1987

R I P French screen star Alain Delon, he died aged 88
As a singer, Delon recorded the popular duet "Paroles, paroles" (1973) with Dalida.
The actor was a star of the golden era of French cinema, known for his tough-guy persona on screen in hits including The Samurai and Borsalino.
Once described as the most beautiful man in the movies, Delon starred in hits from the 1960s including The Leopard and Rocco and his Brothers.
From the 1990s, his film appearances grew rare, but he remained a fixture in the celebrity columns.
In total, he appeared in more than 90 films during the course of his career.

As we are not in Munich ......
but only 55 minutes concert ?
and Adele fans brand her Munich concert a 'joke' after having to stand on chairs to see the singer on stage at 'purpose-built' 80,000-seat arena after paying £350 per ticket

About two weeks before the opening, organisers said 95% of the tickets were sold. But Ticketmaster, using a last-minute discount concept also practised by the Rolling Stones, is offering “Lucky Dip” tickets for €35 including all fees to move the remaining tickets. That is less than half what was charged for the cheapest seats during the first round of sales in February.
Buyers can’t choose their places and can only claim up to two tickets, which have to be picked up in person. They go on offer at 10am each Monday morning for the following weekend’s concerts. This week’s allocation was snapped up within half an hour.
Some fans criticised the bargain-basement prices as unfair given what they paid early on to be assured a spot in a crowd. However, Lipshutz said it was not unusual for tickets to still be available given the giant scope of Adele in Munich.
“Selling out a residency at an enormous venue is always going to be tricky for an artist of any stature. I truly think Adele will be fine, no matter how many thousands of tickets are sold.”

This Canberra-based duo, known for their creative covers of pop divas, have once again delivered with this track from Swift’s latest album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.
Thai Lee, a self-proclaimed Swiftie, was drawn to the song’s themes of relationship dynamics and attraction, which they explore through a fresh, energetic lens. Their previous success with their cover of Britney Spears’ “Breathe on Me” set high expectations, and they certainly meet them here. With its infectious beat and appealing vocals, “Guilty as Sin?” is a must-listen.

Johnny Hallyday, was the most French rock and roll and pop singer and actor, credited with having brought rock and roll to France. During a career spanning 57 years, he released 79 albums and sold more than 110 million records worldwide, mainly in the French-speaking world, making him one of the best-selling artists in the world. He had five diamond albums, 40 gold albums, 22 platinum albums and earned ten Victoires de la Musique.

He was also perceived as a very macho white male and loved by Marine Le Pen Front National.

One of his famous song was 'Ma Gu**le' is a powerful anthem of defiance and self-acceptance. The phrase 'ma ... Qu'est-ce qu'elle a ma gu**le?' means "What is it about my face you don't like ?)

Just before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Slimane sang live accompanied by a symphony orchestra in Saint-Denis.

From the piano bars of Paris Pigalle, where he started, to representing France at Eurovision and his sold-out arena tours, Slimane's journey is an ode to perseverance, talent and passion.

He covered "Ma Gu**le' for the Paris Olympics and I loved this choice. It created a lot of controversies with the extreme right!
Well done

…And really, THAT song? Celine Dion rebukes Trump for unauthorized use of Titanic tune during a campaign rally in Bozeman, Montana on Friday
“Perfect – because when your campaign’s headed for an iceberg, you might as well set it to music,”
“Is Trump’s campaign being trolled from within?”
Singer jabs at ex-president for playing My Heart Will Go On at
Céline Dion, her management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing “My Heart Will Go On” at a Donald Trump / JD Vance campaign rally in Montana.
In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use.
This isn’t even the first time a singer has pushed back on Trump using their music. In May 2023, Village People sent a cease-and-desist letter and threatened legal action after Trump used their song Macho Man and other hit songs without their permission.

it is confirmed

U.K. policing minister Diana Johnson has said Scotland Yard is evaluating intelligence ahead of Swift’s London concerts. “Clearly, the police will be looking at all the intelligence and making decisions, they risk assess every event that happens in this country, and that’s something for the police,” Johnson told LBC Radio. The minister also said that there is a provision to invoke Martyn’s law, which “is about making sure that those venues which could be subject to terrorist attack have in place everything that they need in terms of keeping people safe, and that will be brought forward by the government shortly.”

London’s Metropolitan Police added that there was “nothing of note” to report regarding the Swift concerts and promised updates.

Swift previously announced that her five London shows will each feature a high-profile special guest, including indie pop star Sofia Isella, Holly Humberstone, Suki Waterhouse and Maisie Peters. Like her June playdates in London, all the shows are sold out.

There have been heightened fears around concert venues since the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017, when an Islamic terrorist detonated a su***de bomb during an Ariana Grande concert, killing 22 people and injuring over a thousand others, most of the children and teenagers. (Following the bombing, legislation called Martyn’s Law was introduced in the U.K. requiring public venues to implement security measures relating to terrorist threats.)
