2. Michael Schulte - You Let Me Walk Alone

Over the last few years, Germany hasn't been very successful in the Eurovision Song Contest but that didn't put Michael Schulte off taking part for his country. The singer who has been called "The German Ed Sheeran" is known in Germany after coming 3rd in The Voice of Germany.

After finishing his performance on stage at the Eurovision, the crowd went crazy and excitement grew but was this enough to change Germany's bad fortune?

As the final points were given, it was finally announced that Michael had broke the Eurovision curse and finished in 4th place.

Michael is now preparing for his up coming tour in Germany.

Cesar Sampson is not a stranger to Eurovision. He performed backing vocals for Bulgaria in 2016 (finishing 4th) and in 2017 (finishing 2nd). Before that, Cesar performed vocals on the Austrian version of 'Dancing With The Stars'.

2018 was finally the year for Cesar to take centre stage and and represent Austria with his song 'Nobody But You'. The song showcases Cesar's powerful vocals and impressed in the Jury vote with Austria receiving the majority of the Jury vote.

Cesar ended up finishing 3rd overall which is the 3rd highest placing for an Austria contestant in Eurovision history.

Billy - California High

Bill Kaulitz (aka BILLY) is known not only as being the lead singer of Tokio Hotel but also for his out-there style. Tokio hotel have recently finished there Dream Machine Tour and now its time for another solo track from BILLY.

'California High' is the new solo single which was released on the 18th May and in our opinion, the best release to date. 

The single is accompanied with another fantastic music video (which looks more like a trailer from a film).

Danny Dearden - Take On The World

Danny Dearden might be known for being a contestant on The X Factor UK but he has already shown the world that he has more to offer than just a reality show performance. He recently teamed up with the songwriting/production group Holografik for his new single 'Take On The World'.

The track really showcases Danny's stunning vocals as well as being a well produced track. It is no surprise that Danny is celebrating that this is his most streamed track to date on Spotify.

It's not only the track that fans can be happy about, a fantastic video for the song was also released shortly after the song being made available.

If you find 'Take On The World' is the kind of track you would add to your playlist, we would also recommend taking a listen to Danny's other single 'Sleeping With The Moon'

The song is a powerful ballad and would be perfect as background music for a TV soap where a character dies or a couple split. The song really plays with your emotions and with Danny's angelic vocals, it's no surprise!
