Ah, I’m falling in love with Portugal, and I can totally credit this trip to Salvador Sobral, who won the contest last year, giving the nation the opportunity to host this year.

Belarus is often neither here nor there when it comes to Eurovision, as some years we find Belarus in the final, and some years not, but when they do make it to the final, it’s unconvincing. Only once have they cracked the Top 15 in the final, and that was way back in 2007 with…
