Ralph Siegel wants to have another go

Ralph Siegel the Eurovision icon known for composing more Eurovision entries than anyone else in the history of the contest is really in for another chance and stated that he already has a number which he composed and assigned an artist to - who he is keeping a secret for now.

Born in 30.09.1945 in Munich Ralph Siegel has being involved with Eurovision for 4 decades writing (composing) songs for Germany, Luxembourg & Switzerland, which as one, he managed to gain quite a respectable positions in the Eurovision including one victory and even participating for countries in one year (1980 Germany and Luxembourg) which now however wouldn't have being possible since the current rules allowing any artist to represent only one country at a time.

Ralph is responsible for many all time classic that made it to the global hall of fame and which are associated firstly when Eurovision is mentioned like "Dschinghis Khan" in 1979 and "Ein BiBchen Friden" in 1982.

He also gained a very respectable status in the EuroSims contest (yours truly private contest) reaching the trophy twice in 1994 and 1999 and also coming second three times in 1980,1982 & 2003. Part of it he is having a lot of songs which are one of my all times favs like the German entries in 1990 & 1988.

Despite the said above i have to wonder how well can he do on the current edition of the Eurovision which has changed beyond recognition and doesn't fit anymore with his musical style which still resembles the old Eurovision than the new (sadly enough) trashy new style.
