ESC 2013: is Nuša Derenda Slovenia’s hope for this Eurovision 2013?

June 29, 2012 Eurovision, Slovenia No comments

With the 2012 edition only just over, the first rumors and gossip for Eurovision 2013 have begun. While the focus has mainly been on host country Sweden, who’s been revealing more details about their host city bids, and their production team, the Slovenian broadcaster RTVSLO has apparently approached superstar and 2001 representativeNuša Derenda to represent them again at the forthcoming event..

Derenda, born Anuška Žnideršič, has been one of the countries most popular singers since she released her first single in 1999. In 2001, she was approached by the Slovenian broadcaster to represent her Slovenia at the Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen, Denmark, with the song ‘Energy’, achieving a high respectable 7th place. To date it’s still Slovenia’s best result in the competition.

Whether Nuša Derenda will actually be picked as the Slovenian representative is yet to be seen. If she does, she’ll be succeeding Eva Boto, who represented the country this year with the ballad ‘Verjamen’ but failed to qualify for the grand final.
