Eurovision Insight Podcast: Smile Aurela Gace, you’re the one Written by on December 28, 2010

So it came to pass that our second song for the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest was chosen by Albania. Congratulation to Aurela Gace for her win on Christmas Day. For a festive holiday period, there’s been a lot going in the world of Eurovision, with returning singers, more qualifiers for national finals and the continuing saga of disqualifications from Estonia.

Plus Ukraine (who haven’t changed the rules this week), have found another interesting song for their National Final, Smile by Jamala. What do you think of it?
