The winner of the television singing contest "The Voice of Germany" took her song "Ghost" to the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) preliminaries in Cologne. After learning of her victory, Jamie-Lee Kriewitz made a sign of the heart with her fingers - the signature gesture coined by 2010 Eurovision winner Lena Meyer-Landrut, another petite, dark-haired, school-age charmer from Germany. In perfect control of her voice, Kriewitz gave her performance on a dreamlike set with an oversized moon. Her extravagant garb - a colorful dress and outlandish headdress complete with a bow tie, stuffed animal and extraterrestrial antennae - was reminiscent of a Japanese Manga comic figure: an appearance that was evidently equally popular with spectators. nterested in K-pop and South Korea, Kriewitz intends to pursue a degree in Korean studies. Schöneberger therefore made it clear: whoever wins this year's national finals will unmistakably go on to the competition in Stockholm, Sweden, which concludes on May 14. There was no objection from Jamie-Lee Kriewitz, who said she would carefully prepare for the Eurovision finale.

Katie Price claimed that her failed bid to be the UK Eurovision entry in 2005 was a “fix” because she was seven-months pregnant. The former glamour model, who was expecting son Junior at the time, hid the pregnancy from show producers and lied when the public began questioning her growing bump. Katie performed a memorable rendition of Not Just Anybody which gained 29% of votes, but lost to Javine Hylton’s Touch My Fire, which gained 30%. Javine went on to come 22nd in the Eurovision final, which took place on May 21 2005, just three weeks before Katie gave birth to her second son. Speaking about discrimination against women of child-bearing age in jobs on Loose Women, Katie discussed her failed Eurovision attempt. She said: “What a surprise, I lost by one percent. It was a fix, I reckon.”

The team recording the official "postcards" introducing the 43 entries of the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest has arrived in Vienna: Yesterday they toured several locations in and around the Austrian capital together with the country's representative ZOË. Check out our photo gallery and learn more about what you will see during the live shows this May! The postcards in the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest follow a unique concept that links the artists to their respective home countries. Thus, they are filmed in and around the places that are most familiar to them and that depict interesting facts of their country. A total of seven crews are touring Europe and Australia to make sure that all postcards are ready before the Semi-Finals in May. Yesterday the material for the Austrian postcard has been filmed with ZOË in three locations: At Heldenplatz square and Schönbrunn castle right in the city, and in surrounding vineyards. Director Robert Jitzmark explains: "The focus is on the artist and we have jointly selected the locations. Therefor we have tried to find angles that maybe have not been shown before - which is difficult, because everything here is so beautiful." After all shots were recorded, ZOË commented: "Working with the team was really pleasant. Everything went smooth, especially time-wise, and it was fun. Finally I was able to enjoy and see Vienna again, like a tourist in my own city. Moreover I am so happy about the gorgeous weather - it couldn't have been better."
