Have you noticed that in the National Finals this year, there are rather a lot of “returning heroes” looking to get back to the Eurovision stage? Jasmine Bear wonders why the Comback Queens and Kings do it, and if they have any more chance than those new to the Song Contest’s stage?
Taking a look back at the results of the first “super” Saturday of National Finals, the latest news from around Europe as the remaining 23 songs are chosen and confirmed, and music from Estonia’s Getter Jaani.
One thing that could always be said about Eric Saade is that he blew most viewers away at the 2010 Melodifestivalen as he grabbed 3rd place with Manboy. He followed up this new-found recognition with his debut solo album Masquerade, an album that one could describe as a pure pop delight.
With his weekly radio show, Juergen Boernig is a familiar voice to many Eurovision fans. But we wanted to know more about the man behind the microphone, so ESC Insight asked him to feature in this week’s “Meet the Fans” interview.
As Super Saturday comes to a close, Juke Box Jury judge David Elder managed to catch up with one of the singers, Stella Mwangi (“Haba Haba”, Norway MGP 2011) to find out a bit more about Norway’s Kenyan singer.
Take a deep breath and brace yourself because the first Super Saturday is upon us!

Read on, learn where you can follow the contests online and place your bets!
