Here’s to another sixty years of Eurovision? Putting aside the dodgy arithmetic about birthdays and anniversaries, Ewan Spence looks at ‘Eurovision’s Greatest Hits’. While it was a fan-pleasing recording on Tuesday night, this celebration of the Eurovision Song Contest was a missed opportunity to drive the show forward into the future.
After the Eurovision’s Greatest Hits concert and the booing of Russia when mentioned in the show, we ask Ben Robertson to discuss why Russia is the subject to such treatment from Eurovision fans at the moment, and if it is ever ok for fans to boo during the Song Contest
Juke Box Jury returns for 2015, as Sharleen Wright and Ben Roberson join Ewan Spence to judge Denmark, Switzerland, Belarus, France, Cyprus, and Iceland. Will they get a hit, a miss, or a maybe?
As we review the running order for the Semi Finals and look forward to Eurovision’s Greatest Hits it is time for another ESC Insight Newsletter. This week Ben Robertson suggests his alternative to the producer-led system of the current era.
With today’s announcement of the running order for the 2014 Eurovision Semi Finals, Ben Robertson on the ESC Insight team looks at which songs are looking stronger and weaker on the back of the decisions of the production team, and what we can learn already about ORF’s model to produce a Eurovision show.
The Newsletter gives a weekly summary on the Eurovision news, including the fallout from the Head of Delegation meeting in Vienna. We have Robertson’s Reflection discussing why this period in Eurovision season is more important than ever.
