Thanks to an earlier than normal Festivali i Këngës your Eurovision Christmas comes complete with the first song of the seasons (although hat tip to Dimi for suggesting that it is, in fact,the first demo of the season given Albania’s remixing powers). There’s more to cover though, so let’s recap the week’s news from the Contest.
Eurovision Insight Podcast: Never Cheap, Never Haggard
Christmas is nearly here, and Albania’s Festivali i Këngës has our first present. Rounding up seven days of new from Eurovision, with National Final dates, internal selections, and a bit of panto. Ewan Spence brings you the latest from the world of the Eurovision Song Contest.
As the National Finals get ever closer, you can keep up to date with all of the Eurovision news by subscribing to the ESC Insight podcasts. You’ll find the show in iTunes (why not leave us a review?), and a direct RSS feed is also available. We also have a regular email newsletter which you can sign up to here.
Having watched a tape of the winning entry at the Albanian national final, ‘Bote’ came across as a three minute stellar vocal performance that was lacking a song. It would not surprise me if they go with a totally different number for Eurovision but, with Albania’s track record, whether that represents an improvement remains to be seen.
Happy Christmas, Ewan, to you and the ESC Insight team!
Thank the stars that the iPad Podcast app has 15 second FF for moving quickly past ‘crimes against humanity’ and indeed turkeys… 🙂
Merry Christmas to all at ESC Insight!
