What do a woman taking a pregnancy test, a homeless man, and a struggling artist have in common? They each appear in Sofi Marinova’s official Eurovision 2012 video. The rather bizarre video is meant to convey the power of love, and the trauma of being separated from those important to us. As the lyrics tell [...]
In the two weeks since Wiwi last reported on Betfair’s betting market for the second semi-final at ESC 2012, the bookies’ five favorites—led by Sweden’s Loreen (“Euphoria”) and Serbia’s Zeljko Joksimovic (“Nije ljubav stvar”)—have held steady at the top.
