Stockholm’s Hard Rock Cafe has hosted music legends including The Jackson 5, The Temptations, Miles Davis and Iron Maiden. And on May 11 it will host some of your favourite Eurovision 2016 stars as part of the inaugural #WiwiJam. Kicking off at 6pm and running until late, the event is free and open to everyone. Due to overwhelming interest, you’ll need a ticket to enter. You can get your ticket here. Come listen to the stars, meet the team behind wiwibloggs and absorb the atmosphere of one of Stockholm’s premiere music venues. We advise you to arrive early — it’s going to be heaving.
Nina Kraljic at the #wiwijam
There’s a Croatian sensation guiding us to the Hard Rock and her name is Nina Kraljic. Our girl is one of the rising stars of the Croatian music scene, having already touched the hearts of millions en route to winning The Voice last year.
Her career hasn’t slowed since then. She followed up her win with her first single “Zaljuljali Smo Svijet”, won the prestigious Porin award for Best Newcomer, and has consistently been one of the bookies top picks for Eurovision 2016. You can’t dim her “Lighthouse”…
We are totally feeling her song, which pulls Croatia’s Eurovision team firmly into 2016.
The Wiwi Jury — our in-house panel of music unprofessionals — has a lot of time for Nina and “Lighthouse”.
One juror wrote that “Nina’s voice is gorgeous, so crystal clear and able to deliver delicate notes with strength and power,” while another said her sound conjures up Foxes, Ellie Goulding, and Marina and the Diamonds.
Nina is the first artist to join our guest list for the #wiwijam, but there are plenty of surprises in the pipeline.
Check back soon for more!
@light star
Thank you, you are very kind!
@light star
Sorry for my endless conversation with Nicky91, I will try to post less comments. I understand that it’s difficult for you (and for everyone) to read all these comments.
@light star Thank you for sharing your thoughts but the comment was not sent to you. I do not know him personally just from the interviews but good to know that somebody knows him better than me.
I hope Freddie will not attend on this event. I would not let him act among those smiling killers like Deban and William.
I have not got any opportunity to thank you that great hungarian Wiwi review. So thank you guys, you made great job again! I wish you thunder and lightning cause you like that.
PS: Denise is not insane, but she was alone among 3 haters. I do not know why.
@light star
of course i understand you, and I have respect for your opinion
and you’re right i can try to tone down my excitement just a little bit
I’m going to be there ;-)))
Well, for anyone interested, yesterday Nina had press conference presenting Croatian delegation, Nina’s dress will actually be the light, and heavy (18kg), she will have 4 beckvocals helping her manage the dress. Spokespearson from Croatia during voting will be Nevena Rendeli.
@georgekirkas
yeah, i’m also a mentor in my x factor game at this is bigbrother forums 🙂 , i’m mentoring the overs category 28 or older
and omg, at the Molly and Ira topic on here, people are saying Molly should take over from Ira, well really pathetic from some people, Molly can just hit the high note, while Ira can sing the rest of the song flawlessly 🙂
Too bad I can’t go :(, hope you repeat next year.
I love Eurovision, I love wiwibloggs and I love Hard Rock Cafés.
What a shame I can’t be there. 🙁
@Nicky91
OK, now I got it! I think that you have great musical taste!
@georgekirkas
that i’m in doubt if i’ll vote for Croatia or Moldova or Czech Republic, depending on who of those 3 countries has got the better staging and whole package 🙂
but anyway your vote for Croatia and Malta make me happy 🙂
@Nicky91
I’m gonna vote for Croatia, Iceland, Armenia, Malta and Moldova. Of course this depends on the staging of each country. What do you mean ”one of Croatia or…”?
@georgekirkas
definitely Malta and maybe one of Croatia or Czech Republic or Moldova
and you, who are you gonna vote for?
@Nicky91
Thank you, you are my favourite too! Which countries are you going to vote?
@georgekirkas
i’ll be watching and voting at home, and you are my favourite on this blog, along with Adriana, a girl from essex, uk 🙂

@georgekirkas have you also seen that video from Saturday, with Gabriela, Sanja and Hovi and Ira performing a song Come Together, that was a fun performance 🙂 well and thank you that you agree once again with me 🙂 Nina and Ira have got maybe potentially the best songs, i hope for some good staging to go with their songs, best of luck to these 2 talented and beautiful ladies, and of course to all countries best of luck 🙂 Italy has got a nice song as well, Il Volo was better, but that’s just my opinion, and Francesca is… Read more »
Let’s do this! 😀
@Nicky91
I agree with you once again! I think that Croatia’s song is a masterpiece and Slovenia’s song is really underrated! It’s a very good country song.
that’s a great song for the Wiwi Jam, this will qualify from semi final 1, maybe first place or second place in the voting 🙂 , 110% sure of that
and can i just say that i think Slovenia is underrated, a nice feel good country song
