What happened at ‘The Eurovision’ this week? Written by on February 10, 2014

Ben Robertson rounds up the Eurovision news from the last week in our regular newsletter. Check your email, or read it online right now!

Rounding up the results from this weekend’s Maltese final and the various National Final heats, ‘Robertson’s Reflection’ this week talks about the impact these selection shows have on the national psyche, and what they mean to the countries that enter the Song Contest.

On top of that, it’s a chance to look at the new names that have been announced as potential singers in the finals across Europe, the car-crash that ‘Raimaker’ promises to be, and the non-moving of the venue of ESC2014 away from Eurovision Island.
