Pozdrava sa Balkana! We here at Eurovision Ireland have been lucky enough to catch up with the lovely Andrea Demirović, all the way from Montenegro! As you may remember, Andrea sang for Montenegro in 2009, narrowly missing out on taking one of Eurovision’s smallest nations to the final […]
An old saying warns us to keep our friends close, and our enemies closer… but perhaps it’s just easier to snub them at Europe’s favourite music competition?! Show business is full of famous feuds… Joan Crawford and Bette Davis… Lindsey Lohan and Hilary Duff… Taylor Swift and whoever […]
One thing we love here at EIHQ is a good old Q&A with former Eurovision winners and contestants. We have a particularly soft spot for 2009 winner Alexander Rybak who scored a victory for Norway with his wonderful song ‘Fairytale’. Since then, Alexander has continued to enjoy a […]
It was a trio of Eurovision winners gracing the stage at the Annual Luxembourg ‘Eurovision Gala Night’ last night. From all accounts the Eurovision Trinity wowed the audience.

Turkey – Hadise returns with her new song ‘Nerdesin Aşkım/Where are you my love?’ and she is one “Bad Ass Chick”. Forget the cute Eurovision 2009 ‘Düm tek tek’ as Hadise is all grown up and likes to hang out with the “Bad Boys” – don’t we all […]

2009’s Eurovision Winner Alexander Rybak returns with his new song “5 to 7 years”. What can you expect? Well it is certainly no “9 to 5” from Dolly Parton or Chiara/Hera Bjork. It is always difficult being such a huge overnight Eurovision success to match up to something […]
What does Beyoncé and Azeri Eurovision singer Arash (2009) have in common? Two words – Sean Paul. How did we miss this collaboration between 2009 Eurovision singer Arash (Azerbaijan) and Jamaican dance hall super star Sean Paul – we will never know. Arash has found himself a new singing […]
Following her 5th place success at Eurovision 2009, Jade Ewen joined the ever-changing line up of British band The Sugababes. However she was in two minds – and today admitted – that she almost auditioned for the UK X-Factor in the summer of 2009 following her time at […]
