Did you hear? Eurovision tidbits, week 36

Never a Sunday without a round up of all kinds of perhaps not so very breaking news from around the Euroverse. This week we bring you a Norwegian hallway, a Ukrainian bride to be and a Finnish/Maltese match made in...heaven? We'll also take you to Sweden, France, Israel...and did I say Sweden? Yeah? Well, I'll say it again! And again. Aleksander sings in the hallway Aleksander Walmann has a beautiful voice That's just a fact. And he apparently likes playing with the sound of it. For more than two years he has been recording little clips of himself (sometimes with Ragnhild Harket) singing in the hallway of his building, and posted them on his instagram. Most of the songs are covers, but he's also been performing some of his own music. My personal favorite (so far!) is this one; https://www.instagram.com/p/BetMWybAI-l/?taken-by=aleksanderwalmann I'm not sure what kind of music you guys prefer, but I'm sure you'll find something to satisfy you in Aleksander's #klangenigangen/#hallwayharmonies series. His latest post is this!! Raise a hand everyone who, like me, would love living in his building! https://www.instagram.com/p/BnUTWMBgCAQ/?taken-by=aleksanderwalmann Måns almost died #dramaqueen Another fact; Måns Zelmerlöv is into sports and is rather fit. Last weekend he proved this, by running the Helsingborg marathon. Yes, that's right; a full marathon. 42,2 kilometers. Sounds exhausting, no? (I have never done more than a half, and THAT'S hard enough!) It seems the Eurovision hero might also be a bit of a drama queen. Just look at the following Instagram post; https://www.instagram.com/p/BnMByPDApYl/?taken-by=manszelmerlow I don't really mean that, though! The man is a bona fide hero. He finished the race, ran for charity and even performed at the after run-event later that day. After sorting his tummy out. In other Måns news this week; "Heroes" has been streamed ONE HUNDRED MILLION times on Spotify (and a half!). Most successful Eurovision winner? #justaskingihavenoidea As you can all see, he's also teasing new material in this post. Ought to make a lot of people's day! https://www.instagram.com/p/BndaOtegaKg/?taken-by=manszelmerlow Krista and Ira; a match made in heaven? Or at least in Setubal. And perhaps in Eurovision? The fans can dream! Would a musical marriage between these two be a Eurovision (7th) wonder? https://www.instagram.com/p/BnQWqkDFt5l/?taken-by=iralosco This week's fountain of wisdom Having been compared to the VERY wise (at least in some areas of her life...) Belle from Disney's "Beauty and the Beast", it just makes sense that Timebelle's Runa should also turn out to be a wery wise woman. (Also; she has a fantazillion cat pictures on her Instagram!! #iapprove). https://www.instagram.com/p/BXLLUq2gbun/?taken-by=runa This is one of my own all time personal favorite nuggets of wisdom, so seeing it on her Instagram made me really happy! https://www.instagram.com/p/BSLrz5Yg4Kd/?taken-by=runa Charlotte postpones tour due to pregnancy complications As we reported back in June; Charlotte Perelli is expecting a baby!! She also shared her history of suffering miscarriages in earlier pregnancies. Now, she has just revealed that, following her doctor's advice, she will postpone her "Flickan fån Småland" (The girl from Småland) tour. The tour will now be re-scheduled for January-March. All of us here at escXtra send our best wishes to Charlotte, and hope she will have a lovely last few weeks of her pregnancy! https://www.instagram.com/p/BnQm9RFgFLx/?taken-by=laperrelli In other LaPerelli news, she is also lending her name to another wine! This time it's a non-alcoholic bubbly, called "La Fille". https://www.instagram.com/p/BndSeSmA7p5/?taken-by=laperrelli And she s also one of the artists who are taking part in this fall's edition of "Så mycket bätre" on TV4 in Sweden. Mika's bachelorette party Ukraine's Mika Newton is getting married, and of course, there was a bachelorette party! So far she has shared just one picture from the day on her Instagram, with the promise of more to come! Based on this first one, however, I think it's safe to say there will be quite a bit of pastel! https://www.instagram.com/p/BnOqD7JBjJs/?taken-by=mikanewton Amir; on tour, on a desert island and just because. There is a lot going on in Amir's life these days! First of all, and definitely most importantly, there is his big tour. It started in June, and will continue well into next year! Check out the dates and cities here! https://www.instagram.com/p/BkIWWEWB100/?taken-by=amir_officiel_ He's also been left on a deserted island, alongside 62 year old tv and radio host, Christine Bravo. They took part in the tv show "L'Aventure Robinson". The idea behind this show is that two celebreties are left on a deserted island, and they have to survive for five days, while going through various tests. Read more about it here. https://www.instagram.com/p/BmlTd6ZBhVA/?taken-by=amir_officiel_ We, that is I, haven't been able to find anything on how the adventure on the island went, so if any of you know; please share it with the rest of us, in the comments! Imri; now also a ninja! In addition to being a dancer and singer, Israel's Imri is also rather...should we just say athletic?! Recently he took part in the VIP version of Ninja Israel, and he did rather a good job of it. I won't reveal how good, though, as I don't want to spoil your pleasure of watching him work his way past the obstacles. Watch Imri's run here! He also posted a few pics from his performance on his instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/BnMRUden0rb/?taken-by=imriziv Benjamin + Felix = platinum! The two Swedes, who finished first and second in Malodifestivalen 2018, have become the most beautiful definition of the concept of "bromance" there ever was. Earlier this summer they recorded a Swedish version of Benjamin's song "Do You Think About Me?", titled "Tror du att han bryr sig?" (Do you think he cares?"). And after just a few weeks, the duet version sold to PLATINUM! We think this must be true love! https://www.instagram.com/p/BnB8jUCnhbM/?taken-by=benjaminingrosso That should do it for this week's "not exactly breaking, but still mentionable" Eurovision news from across the Euroverse! I'll be back, as always, with another little collection of tidbits next Sunday! And don't forget to let us know, if you have any news on Amir's days on the island! Also; do you sometimes sing in your hallway? If so; why not let the world know? Share it with #hallwayharmonies and @escxtra so that we can all enjoy it!
