Tooji—Norway’s incredibly charming Eurovision 2012 contestant, invited Team Wiwi to his hotel room this afternoon. We never say no when a celebrity offers us a taste of five-star luxury, so we packed our cameras and our tightest pants and headed over. As you can see in the video below, the “Stay” singer has a big [...]
On May 20 the Israeli delegation hosted a party at Euroclub to celebrate Izabo’s ESC 2012 song “Time.” But the real star of the evening turned out to be Sweden’s Loreen. As you can see in the video below, she belted out “Euphoria” like a volcano spits out lava. It was seriously hot. Unfortunately, it [...]
Team Wiwi is exhausted. We are working all day in the press center and then dancing all night at the Euroclub: that’s why we all look like we’ve been punched in the face. But in between shifts on Sunday we managed to watch Anggun’s second dress rehearsal. Her back-up dancers once again showed off their [...]
Wiwi, Vebooboo, and Meows Kitty just came from Engelbert Humperdinck’s second rehearsal at ESC 2012. It was fantastic. As we explain in the video below, he kept is simple as in his first rehearsal. But today he traded the ragged jeans and trashy t-shirt for an all-black number that hints at mourning: this song is [...]
Elena Ionescu has filmed a special greeting for Wiwi’s readers, and the men of Mandinga have filmed themselves working out in honor of their fans on WiwiBloggs.Com.

Gabriel Broggini, the lead singer of Switzerland’s Sinplus, did not break up with his girlfriend after he and his brother won Switzerland’s national selection. That’s just one of the juicy tidbits Wiwi squeezed out of the Swiss Eurovision contestants during a chat at Eurovision in Concert last April. In the video below, we find out [...]
A strong woman often has a strong man behind her. Romania’s Elena Ionescu is lucky enough to have several. The men of Mandinga—that’s Alex, Chupi, Bazooka, and Florin Zach—help Elena shape the group’s distinctive Romanian-Cuban sound, and also its hot, hot look. In this video filmed exclusively for WiwiBloggs.Com, the Mandinga boys give us a [...]
Team Wiwi wants to give San Marino’s Valentina Monetta a massive e-hug. The adorable Sammarinese singer recently caught up with us at Eurovision in Concert 2012, and she had a lot to say about her song “The Social Network.” Sites like Facebook, she says, are “a big form of communication for the people of the [...]

Team Wiwi had its camcorder rolling when Jedward entered the press area during last month’s Eurovision in Concert event in Amsterdam.

But the moment Jedward walked through the doors—their sky-high hair signaling their arrival like massive tikki torches—reporters and cameramen [...]
Nicki French represented Britain at Eurovision 2000 in Stockholm with the song “Don’t Play That Song Again.” Although she finished 16th—Britain’s worst-ever finish at the time—she still looks back on the experience fondly, and has managed to become an icon among gay British Eurovision fans (that’s a lot of people, y’all). She recently caught up [...]
In their song “Woki mit deim Popo,” the Trackshittaz ask listeners to shake their asses. But don’t let the lyrics fool you: this song is deep. Lukas Plöchl and Manuel Hoffelner recently spoke with Wiwi at the Eurovision in Concert event in Amsterdam, and they explained that they want Europe to keep moving and keep [...]

Pasha, who is also a finalist in our search for Eurovision’s Next Top Male Model 2012, has swagger to match his fierce [...]
When Eva Boto appeared at Slovenia’s Eurovision selection earlier this spring, her back-up singers wore shower loofahs on their heads. The Wiwi Jury cried foul, and suggested that Eva hire a new artistic director for Baku. In this interview with the sprightly 16-year old, Wiwi’s Deban Aderemi learns that Eva hated those bizarre headpieces, too. [...]
Last year Wiwi and Vebooboo were obsessed with Hungary’s Eurovision contestant Kati Wolf. Her song “What About My Dreams?” became our anthem of independence, and reminded us not to let any man hold us down! (As you can see from the photo above, Vebooboo, left, was speechless! And Wiwi could not stop smiling). So we [...]
Wiwi and Vebooboo recently caught up with Malta’s Kurt Calleja at Eurovision in Concert. His victory at Malta’s national selection hasn’t gone to his head.

The team at WiwiBloggs.Com cannot get enough of France’s Anggun. Wiwi had a chance to interview this Asian Sensation at Eurovision in Concert a few weeks ago. And then Deban followed-up with another interview, which you can watch below, at the 2012 London Eurovision Party. Once again Anggun wowed us with her silky smooth legs, [...]
As many of you know, Wiwi is kind of obsessed with the Netherlands’ Joan Franka. I’ve looked past the controversy surrounding her feathered headdress and found a woman who can seriously sing.
