Eurovision Song Contest 2010

Stefan Raab gave an interview to journalists from the German newspaper 'Spiegel'. Raab was Lena Meyer-Landrut's mentor. The German TV entertainer prepared Lena in the months before the Eurovision Song Contest. Raab is very proud of his protégé and asked her to defend her title next year.

After all the points were given, some of the finalists commented on the winner and their own result. Alyosha from Ukraine, who finished tenth, was not amused with Germany winning the Eurovision Song Contest. N'Evergreen from Denmark was happy for Lena, but had hoped to win the contest.

Tom Dice, the Belgian entrant of this year's Eurovision Song Contest, admitted to be exhausted after this fortnight of rehearsing, giving interviews and performing on stage. He is very pleased with his sixth place in the final. The fact he won the first semi-final easily, is an extra bonus for the 20-year-old Belgian.

Slovenia had its second rehersal today in the Telenor Arena, where the staff started organising the space and the seats. Everything is on set, with just a few more rehersals needs to be done until we will see the semi-finals.

Miro entered the stage as the real angel and took his first rehearsal in Oslo. We saw something different this time.

First he said OPA and then the music started. Giorgos was the 5th today to participate in the first rehearsals. And it went well.

The first rehearsal for Poland came today, on 17th May. Their was the first in the schedule. The blue backstage lighted the scene and Marcin started singing.

After the successful edition last year the Dutch city Zaandam will host the second ‘Eurovision in Concert' on the 24th April. It is a promo event where at least eighteen participants for the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest will perform their songs.

This year Belgium will be represented by Tom Dice. He will sing the ballad Me & My Guitar. He will get the support of two backing vocals, but they won't be visible on the stage in Oslo as the song doesn't allow more people to get involved besides the artist and his guitar.

The broadcaster, France 3, have confirmed that Jessy Matador will represent France at the Eurovision Song Contest on 29 May 2010 with the song Allez! Ola! Ole!. It is hoped the song will also be used throughout the forthcoming football World Cup in South Africa for the French tv coverage.
