Vebooboo: Well we’ve been asking the question for some time now regarding Ivi’s ability to sing La La Live. Watching the first rehearsal reminded me that sound editing is an amazing thing, because even though Ivi’s voice isn’t by any means bad, the quality is just so different from the crisp and peppy version I’ve [...]

When Cyprus’ Ivi Adamou and Greece’s Eleftheria Eleftheriou square off in the first semi-final of Eurovision 2012, it’ll be something of a reunion. The two Cypriot-born singers first competed against each other during the second series of Greek X-Factor, which took place from October 2009 until February 2010. Eleftheria, now 22 years old, made it [...]

Cypriot singer Ivi Adamou hasn’t won Eurovision yet, but she’s already a media darling in the Eastern Mediterranean. The 18-year old beauty has appeared on the cover of at least 14 magazines in Cyprus and Greece. These glamour shots are enough to convince Wiwi that Ivi will be a strong candidate in this year’s hunt [...]

There may not be the gloss or the high-end choreography, but there’s still something very likable about Jon Lilygreen. And it’s not just [...]

This year the two Eurovision stalwarts have both chosen mellow guitar tunes sung in English. Fans of both singers are already worried that Tom Dice (from Flemish-speaking [...]

For Wiwi, the biggest surprise on the third day of rehearsals came from 17-year old Christina Metaxa, the second youngest contestant at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. The teenage Cypriot and her producers have brought some pretty elegant staging. Christina twirls around like a ballerina, wears an age appropriate dress and climbs on top of [...]
