Eurovision Insight Podcast: Semi Final 1 Preview Written by on May 10, 2011 | 2 Comments

Break out the Ben and Jerry’s, the ladies are here! To preview tonight’s semi final (the first of this year’s Eurovision), it’s a 100% female line up on the panel, and while I did offer Sharleen the MC duties, I’ve been told that a token male was needed.

So on with the show! And after some Loose Women opening banter, it’s one with a rapid run through of the nineteen songs which Europe will be voting on tonight. Only ten can go forward to the grand final on Saturday.

Daily News from Dusseldorf, Tuesday 10th May
Hosted by Ewan Spence and Sharleen Wright, with…

Emma Backfish (ESC Daily)
Elaine Dove (All Kinds of Everything)
Samantha Ross (ESC Insider)
