About Kristina Pelakova

Slovakia seems to have the winning combination this year – a great singer, Kristína Peláková, and unbelievably successful song writers, Martin Kavulič and Kamil Peteraj. Will it bring them the victory of the 55th Eurovision Song Contest?

Kristína Peláková started her singing carrier with the single I’m Yours in 2007. One year later she released a debut album, which went platinum in her country.

At this moment her Eurovision Song Contest entry Horehronie is the number one radio hit in Slovakia. In the national rounds her winning was virtually uncontested as in the final round she received nearly 40 per cent of public votes.

Her song was written by Martin Kavulič, who’s a famous composer in Slovakia. He specialises in pop and dance music, but he likes other genres too. Apart from producing he also plays guitar and piano. His co-operation with Kristina began a couple of years ago.

  1. SLOVAKIA GO!
    Awesome song and singer, I’m crossing fingers for her!

    BTW, it’s not a tribute for Hron, but for Horehronie, which is a region upon the river.

  2. Beautiful – my personal fav. ( which means it won’t win but hope dies last – would be a deserved victory! ).

  3. It’s a shame it didn’t make it to the final. Beautiful song sung by a very talented and gorgeous young lady. She has a big future ahead of her 🙂
