Waving the flag from one major TV event to the next

Posted 13 June, 2010 - 19:25 by Charlotte Jensen

We barely just got home from Oslo before the World Cup in South Africa started. Ok, football and the Eurovision Song Contest are two entirely different things, but the similarities are enough to make me cheer with the same red and white flag I used in Oslo.

Back to the Bad Old Days

So, the United Kingdom finished last. Again! Whose fault was it? Where do we go from here? Will the BBC change the selection process for the umpteenth time in a decade?

My guess on semi 2 qualifiers after the last rehearsal

Posted 27 May, 2010 - 16:26 by Tommy Engström

The second semi has some very obvious qualifiers. I had 8 out of 10 in my semi one predicition and will try to at least have the same result in the semi 2 prediction.

Eurovision fever before the trip to Oslo

Posted 12 May, 2010 - 22:07 by Milica Fajgelj

One whole year we need to wait for Eurovision, then what is happening? We get excited and start remembering pretty things from the past contests. Fevers like preparing for the trip, missing our friends who we meet once a year. Euroclub and parties, taking crazy pictures, working hard, smiling for promo-materials.

The sensations of Melodifestivalen 2010

Posted 6 March, 2010 - 00:32 by Viktoria Karlsson

We now know the result of the four semi finals, and boy was I wrong in my predictions. I made the huge mistake of thinking that the viewer’s would vote exactly like they did last year. Then they voted all the big stars through to the final. But this year something has happened. The big question is what?!

Third and last rehearsal: Final impressions

Posted 25 May, 2010 - 16:33 by Tommy Engström

It feels like a tough job when it comes to predicting the 10 qualifiers from semi final 1. Looking at my past predictions I use to be able to pick out 8 out of 10 right. And after I've been watching the third and last rehearsal on the tv-screen in the press centre, I now think I should be able to live up to my previous record.

Gerry Ryan will be missed by Ireland as a whole

Posted 2 May, 2010 - 02:36 by Denis McEvoy

There were a lot of things that people didn’t predict were going to happen before the curtain went up on the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest. Few thought Ireland would claim its third victory with the two rock'n'roll kids and nearly bankrupt RTÉ. And even fewer thought that Riverdance would become one of the biggest shows in the world.

How hard can it be?

Posted 3 March, 2010 - 16:32 by Charlotte Jensen

Yes, how hard can it be to select a bunch of great songs sung by good singers and let them compete against each other in a national final well set up? Apparently it is very difficult this year.
