[UPD] Boaz, Charlotte and Isthar visit the Netherlands

Three artists that will take part in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest will visit the Netherlands as part of their promotional activities.

According to Elad Weissman, the head of press for the Israeli broadcaster IBA, Boaz Madua will come to Amsterdam this weekend. Boaz comes to the Netherlands on an invitation of the Dutch Jewish community to raise money for the needy in the world. He will give a concert in hotel Arena in Amsterdam on April 13th during which he, of course, will perform his Eurovision song The fire in your eyes.

Isthar, the group that will represent Belgium in Belgrade, will also travel to the Netherlands. They will appear on May 4th, in the weekly television show Life & cooking, hosted by Irene Moors and Eurovision fan Carlo Boszhard. Isthar was supposed to visit this show on March 30th but they had to cancel that appointment. Charlotte Perelli and Hind will also appear in the same television show on May 4th.

What's all that about Carola? I thought of all of her songs to be wonderful... and also Charlotte was great in 1999 (deserved to win back then)... this year is different though. Sweden isn't the best entry this year (just isn't). To continue on this article... Holland(s isn't either... but Belgium! Good lord, Belgium surprises me this year. Perhaps the most genious Eurovision-entry to send, but they truely deserve to at least reach the finals (if sung without flaw off course). I'll be voting Belgium this year for sure (actually the first time I even considered doing that during the ESC for the past 15 years... I even didn't vote for Sanomi though I liked it a lot).

@fabio: Usually I don't side with Sandra, but you're the one being ridiculous here. I myself get tired of the comments of Charlotte being botoxed and plastic. It's clearly your only way of putting her down since you can't find anything wrong with the song. ;) This is a SONG CONTEST - say anything you like about the song. Attacking the artist is simply low. Especially since the comments are uncalled for. Carola had some of it coming to her, because some of the horrid things she has said. But Charlotte is a great person, and I, for one, don't believe she's ever done any plastic surgery. The heavy make-up and the high forehead makes her look like a drag-queen - but I've seen her without the make-up and she looks beautiful. :) And she should wear her hair like in '99 so she disguises her rather large forehead. Not only are your attacks low; they're also unjustified.

At least Ishtar is original and not overproduced, nor over-botoxed.

I don't understand, the 6th April has already passed??!

oh no! the charlotte woman is coming to the Netherlands now! My God! Had enough of this charlotte hype! IF ONLY she had a song which was original, and perhaps dressed up her age I would have bothered to feel excited about the whole thing.
