What do I think of this?

I know it doesn't sound plasuible but it is true. A Welshman called Jon Lilygreen is singing for Cyprus. Who would've thought it. Probably not Mr and Mrs Lilygreen his parents, or indeed Lily his sister.

He can't be as much as a novice as his closest competitor, the Belgian, as Jon has learned his trade in the bars of Newport, South Wales. There's nothing like trying to make yourself heard in Glamorgan nightspots to make you grow up quick. It's hardly Broadway. Anyway far more appropriate for his singing style would be the lazy Durrell-like summers of Cyprus, where the song "Life looks better in Spring" was born. A stolidly plain ballard from the usually hairy chested pop jigglers, the song runs the risk of getting swept up by the more memorable efforts running earlier in Semi 2. As a result it's touch and go whether it will qualify. I hope it does though as it's just about good enough and the Welsh need a boost.

Biography

Can't find someone to sing your song for the Eurovision Song Contest - Google will! It is amazing what you can do over the internet these days and no one knows this better than Cypriot song writers Nasos Lambrianides and Melis Konstantinou. After penning a song called Life Looks Better in Spring they decided to enter it in the Cyprus selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. But they didn't have anyone to produce it OR sing it.
So, like most people these days who are looking for something - they went online and hit the world-wide-web jackpot! Their surfing led them to Wales in the UK and to music producer Jon Gregory. Jon suggested that the song writers take a look at an online demo of musician Jon Lilygreen. They did, and they were blown away with his natural talent and invited him to sing for Cyprus. It was from there that Jon Lilygreen and the Islanders were born.
Jon Lilygreen is 22 years' old and comes from Wales. He is a professional working musician who has been involved with many styles of old and contemporary music. As well as singing, Jon composes his own songs and is a very talented guitar player. He is well known in his home town of Newport where he performs acoustic sets at local clubs.
The Islanders - the group Jon will be on stage with - has an international line-up with performers from all over Europe - Wales, Scotland, England, Oslo and of course Cyprus.

Life looks better in Spring

Time changes everything, even you and I have changed
The rain the winters bring has made us fade away
I still remember everything, that old December, the fears, the cold
I really wonder how you feel on these nights, all alone

I hope someday you'll see me
I hope someday you'll spot me in the crowd
Take my hand and kiss me
I hope someday you'll say my name out loud

(Tell me) Tell me about your feelings, tell me about your stories
Look into my eyes and come on closer, make me immortal with a kiss
(Tell me) Tell me about your feelings, tell me about your stories
We know it's over, so tell me it's over and life will be better in spring

Time changes everything, but this feeling, it still remains
The sweetness of the lips I kissed will always be the same

I hope someday you'll see me
I hope someday you'll spot me in the crowd
Smile and say you miss me
I hope someday you'll say my name out loud

(Tell me) Tell me about your feelings, tell me about your stories
Look into my eyes and come on closer, make me immortal with a kiss
(Tell me) Tell me about your feelings, tell me about your stories
We know it's over, so tell me it's over and life will be better in spring

(Tell me) Tell me about your feelings, tell me about your stories
Look into my eyes and come on closer, make me immortal with a kiss
(Tell me) Tell me about your feelings, tell me about your stories
We know it's over, so tell me it's over and life will be better in spring

 
 
 
 
 
 
Is it David Milliband who is likely to be the UK government's main opposition
Or is it Jon Lilygreen who is likely to be the failed opposition of Tom Dice from Belgium
