Career
2010: Eurovision Song Contest
Kristína won the national selection to represent Slovakia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with her song "Horehronie". She got the largest share of television votes and came second in the jury vote. The title of the song, Horehronie, refers to a rural region in Slovakia. The lyrics of the song tell the story of a heartbroken girl who finds solace in the nature, its woods and "black hills to make her grief disappear." The song was composed by Martin Kavulič.[1][2][3] The song peaked at No.1 on the Slovak airplay chart and became a very popular hit in Slovakia and for many eurovision fans.[4] Despite this, Kristína failed to qualify from the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 semi-final finishing 16th out of 17. The music video for the song is one of the most viewed on the Eurovision YouTube channel.
