Michael James Down

These are special times and therefore it is time for a very special episode. Right now the artists and composers who will be competing in the Eurovision are getting all the attention, but what about those who almost made it, but not quite?Michael James Down has competed with 45 different songs in various national finals all over Europe, as an artist and as a composer, but has never won a ticket to the big event... yet! This gives him a unique and broad perspective and in two episodes he will give us full access to all the stories, events both on and off the stage, ups and downs.He reveals that didn't actually write all of these songs and what happened when Boris Covalli withdrew when he was to compete with a song of Michael's, that later was released by Sergey Lazarev instead. We also learn about the various other artists who have tried his songs and get to listen to those versions, and we get a unique glimpse into the cultural differences between the various national finals. Is it the same to participate in Iceland and in Romania? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
