Today we look at the most successful country in Eurovision history – Ireland. Will they increase their seven wins to eight with 16 year old Molly Sterling? Out of the songs from the National Final, Playing with Numbers was the best song, in my opinion. I think that Molly was definitely one of the better…

I love it when a country returns to Eurovision, the more the merrier, I say! Now Czech Republic aren’t exactly the most successful of all the countries, but this year, I really do feel as if they’ve tried to send something legitimate. Despite their efforts, I’m not hugely impressed (sorry, CZ) The song itself is…

Thinking about this review, I couldn’t help but think about the Serbian national final. I remember watching, and they finished the three songs in record time, and then there was me, thinking they would recap the songs but the recap was just another repeat of their performance! Silly me!

Oh Hungary. What have you done!? There were so many great songs in the national final, and yet I’m stuck reviewing this song! Before I give my (brutal) review, I do want to say that I think the song has a great message. Saying that, I still have an opinion on the song itself, and…

Today we look at Georgia, who have chosen this years’ second warrior (if you live under a rock, Malta picked a song called warrior too). Before I discuss which warrior I think is better, let’s first discuss the song on its own. I think the song in its national final days was pretty average. It…

The group Anti Social Media was chosen as the winner of Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, and immediately faced criticism from fans across Europe and beyond. As such, I may be the only one in the Eurovision community to say this, but I LOVE this song. I think this is such a fabulously catchy song, and I…

This year, Belarus used Eurofest as their selection process, and many Eurovision fans were sure that the Alexander Rybak created girl group Milki would push all the competitors aside and represent the nation at Eurovision. However, that was not to be. Instead, Uzari and Maimuna are representing Belarus with the song ‘Time’. From the national…
