2017 Junior Eurovision Review – Albania

Albania have had a short history at Junior Eurovision, and for two out of the three participations, they haven’t exactly been the most successful.

2017 Junior Eurovision Review – Malta

The award for Most Improved goes to Malta, who for many years failed to make an impact on the results table of Junior Eurovision, but found their groove after a two year break in 2011 and 2012. Since their return in 2013, the nation has won the contest twice in three years, and received a…

2017 Junior Eurovision Review – Russia

Russia are one of those nations at Eurovision and Junior Eurovision that just understand the contest. They evolve as the contest evolves, and as a result we often get modern, complex and most importantly, well-staged and performed entries.
