Everything about Severina Vu Kovi totally explained
Severina Vučković (born
April 21,
1972 in
Split) is a
Croatian
pop music star and actress. Her stage name is simply
Severina. Her style has various
folk and
cabaret-style influences. She is also widely known for her
2004 sex tape.
Career
Severina's career began in 1989, and she's been one of the most popular Croatian artists in history. She won many festival-awards and her albums achieved high sales. Some of the better known songs have included
Kad si sam,
Dalmatinka,
Djevojka sa sela,
Ja samo pjevam,
Paloma Nera,
Virujen u te,
Ante,
Adio ljube,
Hrvatica,
Adam i Seva,
Moja štikla,
Krivi spoj etc. She released a Greatest Hits album in 2005.
In
2004 she became part of a sex scandal reported worldwide after a personal
sex tape featuring her and a wealthy married
Herzegovinian Croat businessman,
Milan Lučić
, leaked onto the Internet. The graphic nature of the video and also the fact that she was doing all of this with a married man shocked the Croatian nation and damaged her public image due to the fact that she promoted
abstinence in many of her public appearances. With this image in shreds and her hypocrisy exposed, Severina decided to sue the website that released the tape for damages, claiming that the video was stolen from her. The case was dismissed by the District Court in Zagreb. By this stage the video was already widely available across the internet. However, this incident has actually boosted her career, especially internationally as the news story and sex video quickly went around the world and millions who had never heard of Severina now knew of her. This career boost is similar to what fellow
celebrity sex tape stars (such as
Paris Hilton) have experienced. Severina now embraces a more
sexy image, particularly highlighted in her choices of revealing costumes and dances. The new image has so far been successful for her.
She won the
Dora 2006 festival with the song "
Moja Štikla" and represented Croatia in the
2006 Eurovision Song Contest in
Athens,
Greece, on
May 20,
2006 finishing in 13th place with 56 points. The song caused some small controversy in
Croatia, as many journalists and commentators claimed it resembled
Serbian music, when in fact the song contains elements of traditional
Dalmatian music styles. Although the most prominent
Croatian ethno-musicians such as
Dunja Knebl and
Lidija Bajuk disagree, both the composer
Boris Novković and Severina affirm that the song includes
Croatian folk music influences from the
Dalmatian
Zagora (Inner Dalmatia) such as
ganga and
rere singing and
lijerica instrumentation.
Severina just returned to the limelight with a new romantic song named "Gardelin" (
Goldfinch). Severina's new song will be the themesong for a new upcoming movie filmed in Slovenia, called "Roosters breakfast". The song is online at Severina's fanclub site.
