Today we’ll be discussing the 2011 entry performed by Kati Wolf, titled What About My Dreams, which at the time was being labelled one of the contenders for the win. Although there were high hopes for…

We put our hand in the figurative hat today to pick a song to focus in on, and we thought we’d pick a song that might be less memorable – just for nostalgia’s sake. Well, perhaps this song is memorable, but likely for the wrong reasons. Today we’re going back to 2010 to discuss the…

If you think back to the 2009 contest, it’s probably not likely you’ll remember Latvia’s entry, and if you do, it’s probably likely that you remember it for the wrong reasons.
