Harel Skaat Releases “Love Awaits Me” 1

Harel Skaat, potentially the sexiest Eurovision contestant ever, is back with a new single called “Tihiye li ahava” (“Love Awaits Me” or “I Will Have Love”). The electro-pop sound is a sharp departure from the power ballads we’ve come to expect from Harel—probably symbolic of everything he’s been through in the past year. Skaat, 29, [...]

Dana International: The “Ding Dong” Remix 1

We all know that Dana International knows how to mix it up. (Consider, for instance, the whole gender reassignment thing.)

Eurovision 2011: Of the Six Returning Acts, Which is Your Favorite? Vote Now! 1

  Six acts competing at Eurovision 2011 have performed on Europe’s biggest stage before. And two of them—Dana International and Lena—have already tasted victory. But does a second trip to Eurovision make them likely victors—or does it make them tired and stale? (Let’s not forget what happened to Malta’s Chiara Siracusa in 2009? Sad.) Digg [...]
