Severina Vučković (born April 21, 1972) is a pop singer in Croatia. Her stage name is simply Severina.
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.
In 2004, she became infamous for a videotape leaked on the Internet showing her having sex with a man. The tape, supposedly private, was released on the peer-to-peer networks and soon captured the attention of a Croatian web portal Index.hr, which then published an article about it featuring several screenshots from the video. After that, the news spread into local mass media and the video quickly became the most downloaded item in the country at the time. Amidst the pornographic scandal, Severina decided to sue the portal for copyright infringement as well as invasion of privacy, but the case was subsequently dismissed by the district court in Zagreb.
