Well, UK has decided.

Germany has decided too last week. But don't let us talk about it, ok? See the choice, and despair.

The only good news is, that the current broadcaster in Germany that has handled the ESC for decades, will only do it for two more years...

Is it that time again already? Oh dear...

Its a classic folk instrument, pretty widespread in Europe once, a nyckelharpa or "Schlüsselfidel" in Germany.

Latvia, at least this time, is in finals. He is quite OK, but as for many other artists - overall it's quite awful, too much of "crazy" image on a stage.

You have only three minutes to be remembered, so of course you need to be as attention catching as possible, without offending people. The ESC is pretty much musical trolling.

The Dutch participant for the ESC, Joost Klein, has been ruled out of the contest because of accusations and police investigations about threatening an employee of the venue with violence. Since he was one of the favorites of this year, really weird.
