The small Finnish district of Vörå has been gripped by an unprecedented wave of Eurovision fever as their local band, KAJ, represents Sweden in the contest, generating levels of pride unseen before in Finland at Eurovision. This unexpected journey has not only put Vörå on the international map but is also sparking hopes for a cultural and economic revival in the community.
How can qualification to the Song Contest be more fair? Well, by statistically analysing voting patterns we could divide up the Semi Finalists into even more equal pots, and we could even use running order to nullify the effect further. Here we have an idea that will ensure no country has an overbearing advantage on others at the Song Contest.
The preview parties, interviews and rehearsals are all done. Who is qualifying and who is not? Here we asked the audience what they think about how each song will perform, and present how the results have changed over the last few weeks of performances and canvassing.
Join Dude Points as she chats with some of the artists performing in Semi Final 1; featuring Portugal’s Napa, Norway’s Kyle Alessandro, Croatia’s Marko Bošnjak, and a bonus interview with the United Kingdom’s Remember Monday.
