Eurovision Insight Podcast: The One With Brian May Written by on February 17, 2012 | 1 Comment

Well that was a busy week, with another six artists handed the ticket to Baku (and four songs added to our playlist).

It’s the same again this week, with six more countries set to host their National Final, or air the internally selected song to an eager Eurovision public. We’re not going to make any rash predictions about winners just yet (that can wait till we call up the Judges for Juke Box Jury) but it’s already a diverse range of musical styles and abilities. It’s going to be a great year for the Eurovision Song Contest.

Ticket and Hotel dates announced, winning songs chosen, more performer eliminated from National Finals, this might be the year of the Grannies, and music from Irene Foraciari.

    The Belarussian entry already said before the final that if she won she would change the song – Philipp Kirkorov is doing it
