Eurovision 2010 and Siren

Malcolm Lincoln Siren

Laval liigub ta nagu David Bowie, laulab nagu Robert Plant, teeb muusikat, nagu ise tahab, ega karda enam isegi Mihkel Rauda. Robert Juhkental poleks uskunud, et Eesti Laulu finaali pääseb. Jutt on siin.

The Estonian entry for the 2010 Eurovision is Malcolm Lincoln, a duo consisting of Robin Juhkental (voice and electronics) and Madis Kubu (bass), with their song Siren, written by Robin Juhkental and backed up by a quartet, Manpower 4. The band was started in the fall of 2009 and got its name from an incorrect answer to a question on the Estonian version of the Who Wants to be a Millionaire? game show - the president's name was Abraham Lincoln. Estonians do have a sense of humour!

Malcolm Lincoln draws inspiration from groups such as Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Voxtrot and Style Council, among others. An unexpected winner in the Eesti Laul contest, they have been competing in Oslo but did not reach the semi-finals.

Eurovision 2010 results...and the winner is...


Lena Meyer-Landrut from Germany Lena was born in Hanover, Germany. She is the granddaughter of Andreas Meyer-Landrut, the Estonian-born West German ambassador to the Soviet Union in Moscow from 1980 to 1983 and 1987 to 1989.

She received the highest number of points from televoters and juries from the 39 countries participating in this year's edition of Europe's Favourite TV-show! Germany managed to gather 246 points altogether, followed by maNga from Turkey with 170 points and Ovi & Paula Selling from Romania who collected 162 points.

This is NOT the winning song! THIS is "Satellite" and here are Alvin and the Chipmunks - gotta love those guys!!
