Did you hear? Eurovision tidbits, week 41

Never a Sunday without a round-up of juicy (at least some!) tidbits from across the Euroverse. As always I bring you a fountain of wisdom and a peek into the Xtra good goodiebag. This week, however, we also bring you a Eurovision grandson, an engagement, a Norwegian-Spanish cooperation and more! A grandson for Nanne and Peter! Nanne and Peter Grönvall, who both represented Sweden at the 1996 Eurovision with "Den Vilda" as part of the group One More Time. Yesterday, they became grandparents to an adorable little boy! The baby's father is the couple's youngest son, Felix! All of us here at escXtra send our warmest congratulations to the whole family! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo4U0lTl9IJ/?taken-by=nannegronvall Last dance for Emmelie Emmelie de Forest performed her last dance in this week's episode of Vild med dans. For the third time she and partner Frederik ended up in the dance-off, and this time they came up short. Even though they felt they had done their best dance in the foxtrot, they were eliminated. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo16xyigc5D/?taken-by=emmeliedeforest The Xtra good goodiebag Singing isn't the only thing Lithuania's two time participant Donny Montell enjoys. He has also tried his hand at standup paddleboarding. Based on this post from his Instagram, we think he should keep working on these skills. #morepicslikethisplease https://www.instagram.com/p/BIXoAxQD2BZ/?taken-by=donnymontell Poli set to return to the Eurovision stage? Bulgaria's Poli Genova is definitely not a stranger to the children of the Euroverse. She has represented her country at Eurovision twice, hosted junior and last week she also performed at Eurobash! There she dropped hints about a possible return to the contest already next year. She is reported to have said something along the lines of “see you soon with a flag you guys will definitely recognise “. Might this mean she is hoping to represent the UK in Tel Aviv? Based on recent news, we can pretty safely assume that she won't go for Bulgaria... https://www.instagram.com/p/BomY1j_lfdk/?taken-by=poli.genova JOWST + Manel = ? JOWST (Norway 2017) and Manel (Spain 2017) have teamed up to make music, sweet music. Joining them is also Norwegian singer Maria Celin. Nothing has been said about what and when, however, just that they are working together on a song and that the release date is not far away! Anyone else excited about this?! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo1kLUXBqzP/?taken-by=jowstmusic Fountain of wisdom We head to Sweden for this week's nuggets of wisdom, to none other than the one and only Carola! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmrsl3aFnZL/?taken-by=carolaofficiell https://www.instagram.com/p/BmaTQS2FUFg/?taken-by=carolaofficiell Jamie-Lee said "yes"! Jamie-Lee represented Germany at the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest, with her song "Ghost". She, as we could assume from her outfit in Stockholm, loves Korean music, culture, style and language. Yesterday, on her Instagram, she posted the news that she has gotten engaged! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo2SilKg7yy/?taken-by=jamielee_kriewitz The lucky guy is fellow singer Fabian Riaz, who is part of The Voice Germany 2018. No date for the wedding has yet been announced, however, and we will make sure you hear it as soon as we do! We all send our congratulations to the happy couple! That's it for this week! However, and as always; if you have any suggestions of things I should include in next week's "Did you hear?", please inbox us on facebook! Until next Sunday; enjoy fall, and don't blow away!
