The latest ESC Insight Newsletter has been sent out to our subscribers. With news on Junior Eurovision and Young Musicians, as well as keeping an eye on Austria 2015), Ben Robertson will keep you in touch with all the Contests over the summer months.
As well as the news, the newsletter is the home of ‘Robertson’s Reflection’. In this issue, Robertson challenges Abba (‘The Winner Takes It all’) or Hot Chocolate (‘Everyone’s a Winner’):
Eurovision is of course a contest, and our Saturday night is a huge continental wide party, but the winner doesn’t take it all – in fact far from that.
It provides lifetime experiences for so many people along the way – the chance to grace the stage in Eurovision or even at their national final is likely to be the biggest event for many that they will ever take part in. It is wonderful to be a part of that.
I have the chance to witness that first-hand on Friday, when I’ll be backstage at Lilla Melodifestivalen once again. I’m hoping to hear a few of the stories as to why the kids are here and what motivates them. If anything like my last visit it will be a pleasure to listen to them talk to me.
