Outside the official Opening Party of the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest is the traditional red carpet, where the performers and delegates are introduced to the crowd. Terry Vision was there, to try and grab as many interviews as possible.

After the opening party last night there’s a few headaches on the team, even though the work carries on. The Big Five and host country Azerbaijan take to the stage for the first time, and it’s not at all what we expected. Daily chat from Eurovision from Ewan Spence and Sharleen Wright (ESC Insight), Luke Fisher (EscXtra) and John Stanton (Eurovisionary).

Macedonian singer Kaliopi met with Terry Vision inside the Crystal Arena in Baku, Azerbaijan, whilst taking a break from rehearsals. Could Terry be the next Mr Kaliopi? Watch the passion grow as they both try their charm on each other.

Time to round up the stories that have caught our eye in the last twenty four hours of The Eurovision Song Contest. From power and odds, to charts and rehearsals, this is the snack sized view of Baku.

The ESC Insight team are heading to the official Opening Party tonight, so there’s no regular Video Insight for Saturday night. Instead, our senior interviewer, Terry Vision, has stepped up to do a longer interview with Greta Salome and Jonsi.
