Allan Tark

My name is Allan. I´m 38 years old. From Sweden, Stockholm.
Working in showbiz, former dancer. Stockholm University- History of Art
My great passion is my home, cats, art collection, library, dvd and cd collection, flowers, travelling...

Besides our 8 Persians cats I like theatre, cinema, music, being with good friends, adventures of all kinds!
I love ESC!
Kram & puss



For a long time, the ESC has had nothing to do with the quality of songs anymore. All that counts is "neighbourhood policy", show, OBLIGATORY half naked girls, no matter what the songs are about, no matter how well the songs are performed, etc.. And here we have it all on silver plate - ESTONIA 2008 & LETO SVET.
Right- Kreisiraadio -Leto Svet is a – german schlager in bad serbo-croatian sauce !
But this balcaniatic is very bad presentation with patetical and emotional feak & false patetical sentiments what we can see & listen in each-year ESC is much more terrible.
ESC has nothing do to more with original music competition
!
In that meaning is ESC DEATH!
Never more live orchestrations.
Nothing.
All this studio-made play-back and mostly ESC "artists" can`t sing clean on the stage LIVE & and why that bad language choise, in english?
Why?
Like this one:

Now estonian Kreisiraadio is coming with very bad tourist-dictionary serbo-croatian, german, finnish e.t.c.
and Leto Svet representing ALL IN ONE.. :-))))
Have a nice day to all of you!
Thank You
