Yesterday the Dancing Stars Live Orchestra of the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation ORF was celebrating the 50th birthday of "Austropop". Austropop is pop music from Austria, mostly in various Austrian dialects, but also in standard German or English. "Wie a Glock'n" (Like a bell) is considered the very first song of this genre and the original singer Marianne Mendt (ESC 1971 with "Musik") is often referred to as the "Mother of Austropop". The Dancing Stars Live Orchestra under the musical direction of Thomas Rabitsch, conducted by Herbert Pichler plays the songs in modified versions to make them suitable for Ballrom dance.
Cesár Sampson found his inner Fred Astaire. Tamara Mascara was voted out.
