Eurovision 2015 voting in doubt?

Since the introduction in 2009 of the 50% jury /50% televoting system, this is the first time that the winner […]

 

Stockholm 2016 !

  SVT deserves a huge “thank you” as we won’t have to fly to Linköping…   The Globen Arena – Stockholm, will host the 61th Eurovision Song Contest on 11, 12 and 14 May 2016. The press center will be located next to the venue at the Hovet and the Annex will host delegations.

day 11 – vote for Leonor, Marta and Václav !

Obviously, neither Aïtor nor I believe Portugal or the Czech Republic can win their semifinal. Actually, they even aren’t our favorite songs.
