Is that how eurovision winners end up ? Singing X-mas carols in churches ? Very sad. Après toi is without any doubt one of the best winners ever.
IMO "Après Toi" is one of the best Eurovision entries EVER!
Oh, I didn't know she tried for 2006 as well. Not so keen of "Apres Toi", but "L'amour est bleu" is a true classic.
Vicky is great! She's had many good songs and for her age, she still looks stunning!
I like listening to her- as longs as she doesnt sing Christmas songs- and it would be wonderful to see her back in ESC, maybe for Germany. In 2006, I loved Texas Lightening and Vicky's song was very ordinary but nevertheless, I would be glad if she came back!
