South Africa is probably heading for a new Eurovision cover record. In 2009 there were 42 entries and if all goes well, by May during Eurovision 2010 in Oslo, Norway, no less 21 of the 42 songs will be covered by South African artists.
After a very succesful first edition last year, 'Eurovision in concert' is returning this year! Last year at the Marcanti in Amsterdam 21 of that year's Eurovision participants presented their song during a fabulous night filled with Eurovision music. It now is confirmed that there will be a second edition of this event. On 24 April, in the Hague this time. We will be able to reveal more details soon. But mark this date in your calendars!
During this years Israeli national final, KDAM, that was held tonight in the Neve Ilan TV studios, Milim (Words) is the winning song. A total of four songs was presented by Harel Skaat who was already selected as the Israeli participant. Milim is written by Tomer Hadadi and Noam Horev. As soon as the live clips from tonight's final are available, you can find them by following the link below.
Niamh Kavanagh debutes in the charts in her homecountry this week, on a modest 39th place. In Sweden of course we couldn't expect anything else but a full 23 MF related songs in the top 60, with winner Anna still on top! Sieneke has her fourth week in the Dutch top 5, the Dutch still can't get enough of her.
Ever since yesterday the mood of the Ukrainian broadcaster NTU was plumbing on skydive, as the president of NTU was sacked by the new government. This however means that Vasyl, the Ukrainian representative, will no longer go to Oslo with his song "I love you...". A new national final will take place most likely on Saturday. Preparations for the new final have started, and more details will become known tomorrow.
The winner of the Serbian National Final tonight is Milan Stankovic with the song Ovo je Balkan, written by Goran Bregovic. Emina Jahović came second with Ti kvariigro and Oliver Katić finished third with Predsedniče halo.
Anna Bergendahl has won Melodifestivalen 2010 and the right to represent Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest in Oslo. The international juries didn't put her so high but the Swedish juries and the televoters put her in first place.

People talking about 'eurovision':
3minutes.me is an international bunch of people, obviously Eurovision fans, who want to share their passion with other fans. To some people, Eurovision is a yearly event, to other it's a way of life. 3minutes.me wants to be there for both groups. And we want both groups to become part of 3minutes too. Share your thoughts with us in our blog section. Give your opinion on everything you want that has something to do with the Eurovision Song Contest. Or become a part of the crew, if you feel you have things to contribute. We are open for any proposals (well, many, anyway). 3minutes.me wants to cooperate with everyone else that shares our passion. Contact us, if you want your eurovision website to be connected to ours. We can discuss details from that point.
We would like to thank Jonathan Sheahan, who designed the 3minutes.me logo!
All 2010 entries!
