Kate Ryan—one of the biggest disappointments of Eurovision 2006—has just dropped her new video “Broken”—and it’s kind of crazy. In the opening sequence we see that Kate has embedded her new video on her own Facebook page—oh, the vanity! Then the starts ripping apart her wedding bouquet, strips down to a bustier and starts dancing [...]

Her song “Je t’adore” is one of the most-played tracks at Eurovision disco nights from Israel to Ireland. Yet Kate Ryan is still known as one of the biggest underachievers in Eurovision Nation. A front-runner with the bookies in 2006, the Belgian superstar failed to advance from the semi-final despite her big name—and even bigger [...]
They may not have made the final, but the Belgians created a storm in the press centre yesterday when they showed up and performed a couple of a capella numbers. Vebooboo and Wiwi caught their duet with Alexander Rybak on video. Yes, that’s right, the 2009 winner is still around soaking in the press attention, [...]
In an age of terrorism, surely this counts as a security threat. So bad is Belgium’s entry Witloof Bay with “With Love” that people might get violent, or attempt to blow up the stage. A capella music rarely goes down well—at Eurovision or anywhere else for that matter. Each of the performers hails from a [...]

Versions of the song have hit [...]
For the first time since bookies began issuing betting odds in March, Belgium’s Tom Dice has become the co-favorite to win the first Eurovision semi-final. Of the 17 London-based betting agencies Wiwi has reviewed, the majority have him, Slovakia’s Kristina and Greece’s Giorgos Alkaios locked in battle. William Hill has all three contestants listed as [...]
If imitation really is the greatest form of flattery, then Leona Lewis should feel really good about herself. Two of Eurovision’s most promising contestants covered Leona’s single “Bleeding Love” during their rise to national prominence. Neither does the song justice, but Wiwi gives them an A for effort. And for ego: it takes courage to [...]
