Marko Astronaut

I go down the beaten track, along the river with an empty bank
At the end she said to me: Why are you here with the autumn leaves?

Cause this is my life, my friend, and this is my time to stand
Cause this is my life, my friend, and I can't be no one else


I'm Marko from Belgrade, Serbia!!! I loved when Marija Serifovic won in 2007 and brought ESC in my city! That was the only ESC till now, I didn't watch via TV, but live in Arena! Thank you Marija!
I ESC very much and I'm always crazy about it several months before! LOL
I love tennis too! My favourite players are sisters Williams , Ana Ivanovic, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer!!!

I was born in YUGOSLAVIA only few days after RIVA won in Lausanne, Switzerland forYUGOSLAVIA! Maybe that's why I like ESC so much!
I'm also huge fan of Melodifestivalen! I actualy like it more than ESC! lol

I love you all from ESCTODAY minus some Eastern Europe haters (and those who always bash Eastern Europe on ESC coz of "block voting") and extreme spammers (Armenia, Turkey......) !!!
But the best people here are: Mark from UK , Sara from Norway, SS501 aka Eurovizz from Norway, Thorazin Corazon aka Jonny from UK, Kenan from Turkey, Stine and TK (from this season i will count them as 1 lol )!!! And many other, but this is the BEST group from esctoday!!

Special corner :
He may not know how much his presence on this site was important for me, but I know that I was incredibly sad when he disappeared one day from here! We haven't welcomed Malena's victory together and that made me sad the most! Since then I have several times commented like this:
m.v If you read this please come back!
With from Marko!

Pozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, I you all!!!!
