Predictions
came true and the hot favourite of
this year's Eurodanceweb Award finally brought the very first victory
for her own Country. Inna, representing Romania, indeed won the 2010
Eurodanceweb Award with "Sun Is Up". Born in 1986, Inna is actually the
most popular Romanian singer. With her debut single "Hot", produced by
the famous duo Play & Win, she shot to worldwide fame in 2008,
even peaking at number 1 of the U.S. Bilboard's Hotdance Airplay. "Sun
is up" was released in the Summer of 2010 just for the Eastern European
market, reaching number 2 in the Romanian Top 100 and the sixth place
in Russia. The videoclip of this song was filmed in Spain last August
and was then premiered one month later, collection more than one
million views on Youtube in just one week!
Runner
up of this edition was the
Swedish singer Velvet with the Pitchline remix of "My Destiny",
included in her second album "The Queen". Since 2005, Velvet has
released more than 10 singles, which always entered the the top 20 of
her Country's hitlist and met international success.
With
the song "The Day After" (Will I Be
Free) Israel achieved its best result to date in our competition. The
single was produced by Roni Meller featuring the Belgian group Dee Dee,
one
of the most successful dance acts
from around the beginning of the new millenium.
Several
other big names of the International music scene were nominated this
year, such as the British producer Guru Josh (#4 with "Eternity"),
author of "Infinity" which was one of the biggest tunes of 2008, and
the Belgian singer Anna Grace (#6 with "Love Keeps Calling"), lead
vocalist of the famous dance act Ian Van Dahl.
Italy was represented with "Pioggia d'Estate", the lastest single of
Paola & Chiara, the two sister-duo who stormed the
International charts in 2000 with their summer hit "Vamos a
bailar".
Different
music styles featured in the lineup: from hands up, to folk,
from italo-dance to house music, mixed with south American or Arabic
influences. A perfect combination of various genres is the
Lebanese nominee "Yama Lajali" (#10), performed by the star
Haifa Webhe and produced by the very popular French dj David
Vendetta.
For the very first time Egypt entered the
contest and the honour of debuting went to Lara Scandar, a young girl
who was a finalist in the Arab edition of the talent show "Star
Academy". Her first single "My mission is you" was launched in the
Spring of 2010 with a music video created by the Norwegian award
winning photographer Ray Kay, who directed Lady Gaga in the
videoclip of "Pokerface".
