Norway is sending a touch of pop rock to Eurovision this year, thanks to moustached and tattooed wonder JONAS LOVV.

Australia and Belgium are similar in some respects, but when it comes to winter weather, we can’t be more opposite. That’s no problem for ESSYLA though, who’s dancing her way across a frozen pond to Eurovision.

It’s the home of big ballads, fun stringed instruments and turbofolk – and it has one of the most interesting national finals of 2026. Serbia delivered Pesma za Evroviziju (aka PzE) for another year, and it certainly had tongues wagging.

Michael reviewed the options that couldn’t beat Lavina for Vienna and still couldn’t understand what the jury was thinking.

Is Kaj Mene the best choice for Serbia in 2026?

It was great that Greece finally decided to do their Eurovision national final. Not only did Sing For Greece deliver hours of truly Greek tunes, but also delivered us Akylas for Vienna.

Michael reviewed the final that did not need a country in its name to know it was being held in Athens.

Is Ferto the best choice for Greece in 2026?
