                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>When will Bulgaria's broadcaster reveal the Eurovision 2027 host city? Well Boryana Gramatikova, BNT's Head of Delegation for Eurovision, tells us the decision is still being made because of the strength of host city bids from candidate cities Burgas and Sofia. Boryana also discusses how she staged Bulgaria's Eurovision 2026 national selection, from inviting the country's most popular artists to the moment that DARA almost pulled out. We also hear how Eurovision can help Bulgaria show Europe and the world what it's really like — an innovative country that rising, thriving and embracing its European future.</p>
<p>00:27 Head of Delegation's reaction when Bulgaria won Eurovision 2026 02:16 How did you choose national final artists in 2026?</p>
<p>03:28 Was it tough getting big artists to participate in your national selection? 04:19 Was it hard to convince DARA?</p>
<p>04:55 Will Bulgaria stage a Eurovision 2027 national selection? 06:00 How has Bulgaria been misrepresented?</p>
<p>06:22 More about Wiwibloggs designer Cinan Sadula</p>
<p>07:18 William and Boryana's first meeting at Junior Eurovision</p>
<p>09:09 Why did BNT delay choosing the host city?</p>
<p>09:45 All candidate cities had strengths</p>
<p>10:39 Are we going to have a more "Balkan" Eurovision?</p>
<p>11:20 What is the most important criteria for hosting Eurovision?</p>
<p>12:30 Why do you love Sofia and Burgas?</p>
<p>14:10 Does BNT decide or does the EBU decide on the host city?</p>
<p>14:50 What does she want to showcase about Bulgaria?</p>
<p>16:50 Which artists could we see in the Eurovision 2027 intervals and opening acts?</p>

The "Fire" hitmakers discusses how much international support has meant to her...particularly in the face of fierce criticism in Germany. Speaking to our William Lee Adams, she talks about the main changes in her stage show, how family grounds her, the lessons she has learned as a reality star and tabloid favourite, and how she identifies with Satine in Moulin Rouge — a character she's portraying on theatre stages in Germany. She also has a bit of fun with her English, and turns to the many Germans in the audience to translate. </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Greece's Eurovision 2026 singer Akylas joins us for an on-stage interview at the Eurofan House x Wiwibloggs event inside the Wien Museum in Vienna. The "Ferto" singer attended the afternoon after qualifying from Semi-Final 1. He was so excited that he had advanced that he pulled a back muscle and woke up in severe pain. But he persevered, coming to our event to discuss being a favourite to win, his symbolic staging, his former life working in hospitality and performing on cruise ships, his mother's sacrifices, and how his song reflects the deprivation endured by a generation. </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>According to Dagospia, the Sanremo Festival 2027 may replace covers night with a special Eurovision night to decide Italy’s Eurovision act.</p>
<p>As you’ll know, the fourth evening of Sanremo — the Friday — is traditionally known as Covers Night. The winner of the overall festival is determined on the fifth night — the Saturday — and given the right to go to Eurovision.</p>
<p>But record labels and FIMI (the Federation of the Italian Music Industry) reportedly want to separate winning the festival from going to Eurovision. Instead, they want two winners: A winner from Eurovision night who goes to Eurovision, and an overall winner of the festival. The goal is to give artists two chances at victory, thereby enticing more well-established acts to compete.</p>
<p>Dagospia also reports that there is pressure to create an “Academy” that would judge the competition. Doing this would reduce the number of journalists and experts who currently help decide the outcome. We react to the news and discuss.</p>
<p>The Sanremo 2027 dates have been confirmed as February 16 to February 20.</p>

Among other things, she discusses why she relates to the gay community (she too has been judged unfairly, she says) and the results of Eurovision 2025.

But will this emotional ballad get lost in a sea of jury favourites? Combining Filipino telenovela with Austrian classical opera, JJ has crafted a song like no other this year.  In this episode of "What Really Happened at Eurovision?", Professor Joe Bennett, a musicologist from the Berklee College of Music, tells us about the oscillating vocal effects that take Austria's entry this year from ballroom to club.</p>

She also discusses the Ukrainian creative team behind her staging and doll hours; what it’s like working with her dancers; and how Eurovision 2009 singer and vocal coach Susanne Georgi has helped her stay strong.</p>

        <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Our reaction to the Semi-Final 1 running order of Eurovision 2025. Iceland's Vaeb will open the show, while Cyprus' Theo Evan will close it. Among other things, we discuss how the start position could impact who qualifies; why Poland's Justyna was put in second position (the so-called "death slot"); why producers have Cyprus performing last; and so much more.

        <itunes:summary><![CDATA[Our reaction to "Wasted Love" — JJ's Eurovision 2025 song for Austria. JJ (full name Johannes Pietsch) mixes opera with pop and techno, all delivered in his gorgeous countertenor voice. We review his music video and discuss his artistry, presence, vocals, the song's touching lyrics and the scope for drama and staging in Basel. Can Austria qualify for the grand final? We look at the odds.

We review the song's simple, but touching French-language lyrics, which convey a story of strength and perseverance. The singer — full name Claude Kiambe — was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and fled with his mother at the age of 9. The song is a tribute to her for reminding him to always look on the bright side of life. We ask whether this could win the Eurovision Song Contest, as it has great jury and televote appeal.</p>

In her first English-language interview since the announcement, the “Avenir” hitmaker teases her entry, which she compares to the a screaming face emoji because it’s so surprising. Louane’s parents passed away when she was a teenager. She tells us how that influenced her thinking when deciding whether to participate in Eurovision. She also offers advice for others coping with the loss of loved ones. From winning a César Award for Most Promising Actress to topping the French charts to winning fans on The Voice of France, Louane has a storied career already. But she sees Eurovision as a way to honour her mother, who dreamed of seeing Louane in the song contest. She’ll reveal her song on March 15 inside Stade de France during the closing match of the Six Nations Rugby Tournament. Let’s do this!</p>

We discuss the song's meaning and lyrics: Klemen's wife lives with an auto-immune disorder and the song celebrates his love and her perseverance. We review the staging, whether the song's meaning comes through clearly enough, and how an emotional ballad might do in the semi-finals. William was a jury member in Slovenia and explains how he voted and why. What do you think about the EMA Evrovizija 2025 results? </p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Disqualified Eurovision 2024 act Joost Klein from The Netherlands will not face charged for a “backstage incident” that led to a police investigation in Sweden. That’s the news coming out of Malmö after senior prosecutor Fredrik Jonsson dropped the case. </p>
<p>You’ll remember that the EBU disqualified Joost on the day of the grand final “following threatening behaviour directed at a female member of the production crew." </p>
