Rock in Eurovision 2023 The countdown to the big week has already started with only 24 days left. The heart of Europe is beating in Eurovision rhythm and the excitement is getting bigger and bigger per day. Liverpool is busy getting ready to welcome people from all over the globe with updates and party announcements coming out every day. The pre-party season is on its peak with the artists traveling around Europe and performing their songs live. The last official pre-party is the London Eurovision Party which is happening this Sunday, and I will be there! I can’t wait to see all the artists live and dance to Eurovision songs all night long (let me know if you would like a post about it). As mentioned in my previous post, two trending genres of this year’s contest is pop and rock. Today I will talk about rock in ESC 2023 and introduce you to some of those entries. Grab a brew and let’s go! 💙💛💛💛💙 Slovenia (Joker Out-‘Carpe Diem’) Joker Out will represent Slovenia with their song ‘...

Happy Sunday everyone! As we are getting closer to the contest the odds are on fire and people have already started placing their bets on this year’s winning song (if you want to learn more about how odds are calculated see my blog post here ). In today’s post I will write about the top 5 songs that are currently parked at the top of the odds chart. That doesn’t mean they will 100% win, or that they are the people’s favourites, but they stand a high chance of getting the treasured title of Eurovision winner. Grab a brew and here we go.  💙💛💙💛💙💛💙 1.    1.  Sweden This is not an unusual place for the Eurovision titan, which every year lands on the top 5 of the odds. This year though it is the bookmakers favourite to win, with the Eurovision legend Loreen making a strong return, determined to experience victory again! Of course you know Loreen from winning the 2012 contest with the hit ' Euphoria' , which is voted every year as the fans favourite Eurovisi...

Happy Sunday friends! It is official-all the 37 songs participating this year have been revealed! Now it is time for Eurovision pre-parties and streaming the ESC 2023 playlist on repeat to memorise all songs. One of the (many) reasons that I love Eurovision is how musically diverse this contest is. It is crazy how on the same stage you can see an emotional ballad followed by a heavy-metal performance and an ethnic dance pop song. I guess this is the magic of Eurovision, expecting the unexpected and exploring different genres from all across the globe. This year I noticed 2 trends; pop and bands. After Maneskin’s triumphant victory in 2021 there was a definite increase in the number of bands participating in the contest. Kalush Orchestra also won the contest last year! Hence this year many countries decided to enter the contest with bands, either of rock or pop genre. But also this year pop dominates the playlist. Pop is considered the most popular genre in Eurovision, and many people...

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday! It is only 76 days to Eurovision 2023 and many countries have selected their entry song through their national competitions. Also the logo and slogan of the contest has been revealed, and in this post I will write about the background of that selection and also take a trip to Eurovision slogans through the years! 💙💛💙💛 European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has reveled the slogan and theme artwork for this year's contest end of January, which is ' United By Music '. The new slogan demonstrates the unique partnership of this year's contest between the United Kingdom, Ukraine and Host City Liverpool. It is the first time when the winning country won't host the contest due to the unfortunate event of the war (there have been 6 previous occasions in which a different nation hosted due to financial reasons). This slogan shows the collaboration of the two countries to bring the ESC to audiences across the globe and the incredible power of...
