wiwibloggs is the world’s most-visited independent web site devoted to the Eurovision Song Contest. Recognising that Eurovision is not just a one-night event, we provide daily news and analysis on Eurovision and its artists, both past and present, and the broader europop scene. In the run-up to Eurovision in May, our correspondents crisscross the continent providing breathless commentary and on-the-ground reporting from concerts, music festivals, promotional events and national selection contests.

Established in 2009, the web site has developed a cult following thanks to its unique take on pop music. We are fast, opinionated and youth-orientated, which has helped us strike a chord with millennial readers, who crave authenticity, and with pop stars, who benefit from our scale and reach, and who see our web site as a music discovery platform for our tens of thousands of devoted followers. Our staff now includes more than 60 volunteer writers, editors, videographers and graphic designers in 30 countries from Australia to Spain to Russia.

In April 2015, wiwibloggs won Arts & Culture Blog of the Year in the National UK Blog Awards. Judged by an independent panel of leading journalists, artists and other British luminaries, this honor recognizes wiwibloggs as the top blog in the United Kingdom across arts, culture and entertainment.

How is it possible that Israel didn’t go through ? Should have ended with the best three songs! No notes missing and technically and emotionally of the highest level! Together with Danmark (and some others) a potential winner…. May this have something to do with politics ?

I’m so proud I introduced you to Eurovision! And so pleased that I’m supporting Greece. Sakis is a Mediterranean Nathan Fillion, yum. And you can bet that when I’m in Greece this summer I’ll be picking up a copy of Nitro.
