After a relaxing day away from the Press Centre, it’s back into the fray for the ESC Insight team. Sam sat down with Finland’s young rockers Softengine, Ireland’s Can-Linn (featuring Kasey Smith, of course), and Malta’s Firelight.

We’re about a week into ESC Insight’s coverage of the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest, and we hope you’ve been enjoying our podcasts, interviews, and editorials on the goings-on so far. But we realize that a community can often develop its own individual lexicon, and we’d hate to leave our listeners and readers out of the loop! So, courtesy of the ESC Insight Team, here’s a quick run-down of some of our favorite terms.

Every stage says something about that year’s Eurovision Song Contest, and the 2014 stage is no exception. ESC Insight’s Senior Interviewer Terry Vision catches up with the man behind the look of The Voice and The X-Factor in Denmark (along with MGP) to find out his inspiration, the secrets to the design, and why everyone is secretly doing ‘that scene’ from the bow of Titanic.

How do you recap the day off? Well you have the jury names to be revealed, and the second run through of the tech rehearsals from all the semi-final performers to preview! And Glen has the giggles….

It might be a day off for the stage crew, but Eurovisoin gets ever closer. It’s also a chance for the ESC Insight team to catch up with more of the performers from this year’s Contest. Sam chats to Carl Espen (Norway), Teo (Belarus), and Tijana (Macedonia) in today’s Daily Edition video show.

After today’s release of the jury names for the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest, ESC Insight’s Ben Robertson does some in-depth analysis on the list for some trends, numbers, and things to watch out for in the voting in this year’s Song Contest.
