Hadise

The Turkish group Manga who will represent the country at the Eurovision Song Contest is introducing their song in just a few hours. The show will be broadcasted on the internet giving everyone an oppertunity to hear the song at first moment. EuroVisionary will be present to report all about it to you.

As the national finals get into full swing across Europe, controversy is starting to creep in to the Armenian selections. One of the songs due to compete in the final has been found to be similar to two other songs.

While speculation is increasing about the successor to Hadise, TRT, who is in charge of the Eurovision Song Contest broadcast in Turkey, has asked the public to share their opinions about 2010, just as they did last year.

Delegates from the UK and beyond attended the 4th OGAE  Bash in Birmingham.  A day of thrills, spills, and unlikely winners.  Plus who would win the annual Stars in their Eurovision Eyes contest for 2009?

Last year's Turkish representative, Belgian born Hadise, has been named by the Belgian media for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. Hadise came 4th with her song Düm Tek Tek at the Eurovision Song Contest 2009.

Hadise returned to Belgium happy with the results, and she talked to a news agency in Turkey.  Three weeks ago, she achieved 4th place in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009.

The official album with all 42 participating songs is selling well in Denmark and Norway while the Swedish single chart practically is flooded by this year’s entries. Alexander Rybak is, to no surprise, popular in all three Scandinavian countries.

The results of both semifinals have now been released by the EBU. They make interesting reading. The jury overturned the telephone vote to save countries in each of the semifinals. Quite annoying if your country finished 10th in the phone vote.

In a contest which nobody could call close, Norway won the 54th Eurovision Song Contest in the Olympiyskiy Arena in Moscow. He scored a record 387 points, leaving him a long way in front of Iceland and Azerbaijan in second and third places respectively.
