Of the 23 countries on the iTunes charts, Lady Gaga currently sits on top of 22 of them with “Born This Way.” Why no clean sweep? Because Stella Mwangi, the black beauty who defeated the BlackSheeps at Melodi Grand Prix, rode a wave of national popularity and swept Miss Gaga aside. Here’s a look at [...]
Sakis Rouvas, the Greek god who placed third at Eurovision in 2004 and seventh in 2009, is back with his new album Madly. It includes songs by Demitris Kontopoulos (who wrote the 2008 Ukrainian and 2009 Greek entries) and Natalia Germanou (who wrote the 2005 Greek entry).

On November 15, audiences at the Thessaloniki Film Festival will be the first to see Greek Eurovision star Sakis Rouvas take to the big screen in Duress. Sakis plays Abner Solvie, a sociopath who kidnaps a small girl and coerces her father to commit various crimes to save her. Nasty Sakis! Jimmy Kehoe, one of [...]
Wiwi loves him some Sakis Rouvas (hello: check out these photos), but Wiwi is getting bored of Sakis’ attention-seeking behavior like trying to rip off his shirt and uploading pics of himself on Twitter. It’s terribly unbecoming for a star in his 40s. The times they aren’t a changin’. Wiwi’s friends at the oikotimes.com uploaded this video [...]
Wiwi has just learned that heartthrob Sakis Rouvas has a twitter account! Sakis, who dispels the notion that Greek gods are pure myth, has been uploading a lot of pics to his feed recently. Some are from Eurovision, some are from his return to Athens, but all of them are delicious. Wiwi has posted them [...]
. . .and he has absolutely nothing to say! I think my favorite part is when he describes his memories of Malta. He obviously can’t remember anything, so talks about landing…and driving around…and seeing grass…and thinking it was all so beautiful. Good save, Sakis.

On January 31, Romania held its Eurovision selection contest. We all know that Elena Gheorghe won with The Balkan Girls, but a young lad named Catalin Josan finished second with his song Stop. If you listen to the two videos below, you’ll notice that the chorus of Sakis Rouvas’ This Is Our Night has a [...]

Here’s a break down of all the Eurovision songs cracking the iTunes Top 10 in various European countries. See the complete [...]
It’s got to be disappointing. Sakis Rouvas, tipped by odds-makers and Wiwi to contend for the Eurovision crown, slipped all the way to seventh on Saturday night. But even after a lower-than-expected finish, Sakis seemed content. “I’ve had the time of my life these months, working so hard, and we had a great show,” he [...]
