Eurovision Insight Shorts: Wednesday’s Video Interviews From Malmö Written by on May 9, 2013 | 3 Comments

Time to start interviewing the performers in the second semi-final in the third of what we think will be a series of five ‘Shorts’ collections from the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest. Sam (with a bit of help from Terry Vision) head into the melee of the Press Centre.

It’s the top half of the running order today, so we have Latvia, San Marino, Macedonia, Azerbaijan, Finland, Malta, Bulgaria, and Iceland.

Check back with ESC Insight (or follow our RSS feed) for tomorrow’s video, and the rest of our Eurovision 2013 coverage in Malmö.

    “Would you participate for a third time?”

    *proceeds to randomly burst into song*

    And that’s why she’s just fabulous.

  2. Zolan says:

    Podcast: and now … Guitars.
    Terry: and now … Baileys.

    How did you go about mixing the two styles?
    An elaborate process of collaboration …
    … then have it all thrown out and sing something kludged together at the last minute instead.

    The Ulrika joke was subtle, but well placed. I suddenly don’t like Valentina anymore. I would have turned the mic off.
