"Europe's Skies" - What kids are listening to
Just for fun on a Friday.
My teen daughter shared these music videos with me. Apparently all the girls at the international school here in Vienna are gaga over this guy. I approve.

Any fun European videos that you'd like to share?

How adorable, Norway has cloned their own Justin Bieber;)
Talented kid... catchy tune, now I can't get it out of my head!
Isn't this the Norwegian who won Eurovision a couple of years ago? (I'm a big Eurovision fan ... wish they would broadcast it in the States)
Thomas - thanks for the info. I'm sending the link to my 13 year old niece - she stopped playing the violin this year because it's not "cool".
"Isn't this the Norwegian who won Eurovision a couple of years ago?" You're right, that is him. Interesting, most Eurovision winners fade into obscurity after a few years. Looks like there's life after Eurovision for some besides ABBA.
The Belgian production Studio 100 seems to specialize in particularly catchy jingles aimed at a pre-teen audience. A few of these songs (like the Kabouterdans) caught on with adults in the sort of situations that involve copious alcohol consumption (apres ski, weddings, soccer games, etc).

I like that Europe's Skies song and video.
Catchy, upbeat. We need upbeat.
I could see it doing well in this year's Eurovision...
