Continuing our look at Eurovision stars that have graced the stages over the years, today it has a bit more of an Irish flavour to it! Ever wonder what happened to some of your favourite Eurovision stars? I’m on the case, looking them up and hunting them down […]
Our sweet diva Conchita added an exclusive cover of Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ into her set list on Friday night in Linz. In true Conchita style it was a flawless performance, full of emotion and perfectly staged. It’s not the first time we’ve seen her sing it, you might […]
