All the Eurovision Interviews we have done in 2010 are available in our weekly show. If you do a search on the website for any particular artist you should find it. However, we are also planning to add the video version of the interviews to this page so you can see both. Just a bit more patience. :)

Radio International had the great pleasure to interview Annet Artani who represented Cyprus at the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest with the beautiful song "Why angels cry". Annet joined us during the show by phone from the United States of America. Listener /Viewers emailed in their questions to Annet. We talked about her Eurovision participation, the career afterwards and her involvement in the music of Britney Spears and what are her future career plans. Also there were exclusive songs of Annet which we played on the show. You can find Annet Artani on FaceBook and refer to the interview with Radio International when you contact her. Further information is available on her MySpace page and also Annet has a YouTube TV Channel which you van view here. And you can also follow her on Twitter. In case you missed the live show - here it is - the except of the interview. Enjoy!
