Slovakia have high hopes that their Eurovision Song Contest act TWiiNS (identical twin sisters Veronika and Daniela Nízlová) will make a big impact in the competition this year. The two Slovakian stunners will be performing their ballad “I’m Still Alive” – a song about a difficult recovery from a tough break-up – which they hope will entice people into voting for them.
The sisters have been performing together since childhood and have previously released four successful albums in Slovakia. They are probably best known internationally for their single ‘Boys, Boys, Boys’ which had some minor success. The sisters also appeared in the 2008 Eurovision when they were backing singers for Czech singer Tereza Kerndlova, which no doubt provided them with some valuable experience.
Slovakia have a dreadful record in the Eurovision Song Contest, having never finished higher than 18th. TWiiNS will be hoping to break this trend and Paddy Power have the duo available at 125/1 to win the competition. France are currently the favourites for success at 11/4, whilst the UK’s act, boy band Blue, are second in the running at 6/1, closely followed by Estonia at 7/1.
TWiiNS – I’m Still Alive
The 2011 Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Dusseldorf (Germany) with the dates for the two semi-finals on 10th and 12th May, and the final planned for the 14th May.
