Last Friday, the EuroBoat hosted hundreds of fans for the biggest event that everyone had access to (with ticket). It went off around 9 and returned a few hours later. Four live acts performed on the EuroBoat, the disco music was provided by popular DJ Ohrmeister....
Azerbaijan won the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 with the title "Running Scared", sung by the duo Ell & Nikki. With a total of 221 points they left all the others behind, such as the surprise runner up Italy (189) and Sweden (185). The show was one of the most...
Thanks to everyone who visited the chatroom for our LiveChat from the first dress rehearsal for tomorrow's Grand Final. It was a lively and well-attended affair, particularly for a Friday afternoon - although I suppose this isn't just any Friday afternoon! Providing a...
Both the semi finals are over, the lineup for the final is complete. The year 2011 approaches its highlight with big steps, as in about 31 hours we know the winner! Düsseldorf has remained weird. The size of the city isn't a problem really, the bigger problem is that...

"The Day in 3 minutes" is still a bit too short, but hey - we got a message from Getter for you! The other highlight of today's video is Nadine Beiler performing "The Secret Is Love" on the dutch ship at the banks of the Rhine river. Enjoy the mediterranean atmosphere...
This year, everything is extraordinarily bizarre. It's my 1st complete day in Düsseldorf, and it's the Semi 1 already tomorrow. Now, how did that happen? Don't ask me. It's summer, it's partytime, it's old friends having a chat and new friends in the making, so that's...
