Back to the press centre, and back to our new format for video interviews (at least for this week, who knows what we’ll end up with once we move to the ‘official’ Press Centre on Friday), as Samantha heads into the Meet and Greets (with Steven and the camera equipment in tow) to chat to the artist.
In today’s show we have the performers from Montenegro, Lithuania, Belarus, Moldova, Ireland, Cyprus, Belgium, and Serbia.
Check back with ESC Insight (or follow our RSS feed) for tomorrow’s video, and the rest of our Eurovision 2013 coverage in Malmö.
Vaguely aware of the Contest since childhood, a fanatic since 2008, and an ESC blogger since 2009, Samantha Ross made her first sojourn to Eurovision in 2011, and was quickly welcomed into the fold at ESC Insight.
Over the years, she's been interviewed by BBC World News, SVT, LBC Radio, and many others. She was a semi-regular contributor to Oystermouth Radio's weekly dedicated Eurovision program, "Wales 12 Points". Furthermore, Samantha contributed to BBC Radio 2's coverage of the Copenhagen contest, and was a member of the official JuniorEurovision.tv web team in 2014 and 2015. She also worked as a member of the Bulgarian Delegation, serving as Assistant Head of Press in Kyiv and Lisbon. She is also the creator of the podcast "12 Points from America", an irreverent look at Eurovision from a US point of view.
When not at Eurovision, Samantha is a regular on the Twin Cities pub quiz circuit, and has volunteered as a moderator for the local high school quiz bowl for over ten years. She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, but is wistfully looking for opportunities to get geographically closer to the heart of the Eurovision action.
