Måns Zelmerlöw Releases Autobiography “When Everything Falls”

-
Image
Swedish Eurovision winner Måns Zelmerlöw has released his new autobiography, När allt faller (“When Everything Falls”), offering readers an intimate look at the experiences that have shaped his life and career. The book was developed during an 18-month period in which Zelmerlöw stepped back from the public eye to reflect on his life, his experiences and the journey that brought him to where he is today. Writing the autobiography became a form of therapy and self-reflection, allowing the singer to process difficult experiences and put his feelings into words. In När allt faller , Zelmerlöw shares his own perspective for the first time on a highly publicised period that had a major impact on his life. He openly reflects on how a love story came to a painful end, while also taking readers back to his childhood, his years of humanitarian work in Africa and his search for a new chapter of life at a vineyard in Staffanstorp, Sweden. Described through a combination of humour, warmth and hon...

What Eurovision Logos Tell Us: Russia 2009

-
Image
  After a one-year break, Eurovision.tv returned to a dominant blue theme and its variations. The website featured a more visually striking background, emphasizing Eurovision as Europe's most beloved television show. Russia adapted the year's slogan and theme to the site. In 2009, the contest was held in Russia with the slogan "Fantasy Bird," though it may not be considered a proper slogan. For the first time since 2001, the contest lacked a meaningful slogan, as this one was based on the legend of the "Firebird." The logo featured a colorful bird, taking its hues from the flames. This bird holds great significance in Slavic culture, where it is known as "Zhar-ptitsa." According to folklore, it resides in a distant land and possesses a magical glow. The legend shares similarities with the myth of the Phoenix in various cultures. Instead of opting for a universal Eurovision slogan, Russia chose to reflect its own cultural heritage in its branding....
