This post is not live anymore - click here for the 2nd part of today's rehearsal blogging (Denmark, Albania, Romania, Georgia). And that's all for what I keep wanting to call the "morning" session of rehearsals, even though it's already mid-afternoon! There's a lunch...
And that completes our blog of the first day of rehearsals from the Stadthalle in Vienna! We'll be here bright and early for more coverage tomorrow - in the meantime, stay tuned to escgo, and look out for updates from around the host city in our liveblog on the...
And that's all from the first set of rehearsals on this first day in Vienna. There's a short break now, then we resume later on with Finland - so stay tuned to escgo.com! NETHERLANDS The first laugh-out-loud moment in the press centre as the screens go active to show...
And finally the United Kingdom, as the last country in the alphabet, is also the last country for us to cover in this year's escgo line-up check series. Eurovision and the United Kingdom, that's a complicated relationship, as already pointed out in our article from a...
There are some countries that once in a while stumble upon a formula that works for them, and then they stick to it. Take Spain’s last four entries for an example (and also an example of Eurovision inconsistency). Two top 10 results. Two bottom ones. One can only...

Sweden is spoilt with an excellent result record. Five victories, 36 top 10 placements in total - that's more than half of the whole Eurovision history. There were three top 3 results in the past four years, but it also isn't very long since Sweden failed to qualify,...
Eurovision songwriters just love a good "shine" metaphor. Maybe Katrina and the Waves are to blame, with their ultra-successful Love Shine A Light setting an unwelcome precedent back in 1997. Whatever the reason, four of the last six contests have featured an entry...
Slovenia's recent Eurovision history doesn't look very glorious. In the most recent ten contests, there were only three Slovenian entries reaching the final: 2007 (Alenka Gotar), 2011 (Maja Keuc), and just last year (Tinkara). From the country's perspective,...
Serbia returns to the Eurovision Song Contest in 2015 following a one-year break. Cynics might suggest they were sulking after Moje 3 failed to reach the grand final in Malmö; kinder souls would say they were simply taking time to rethink their approach to the contest...
The most exciting two weeks of the Eurovision calendar are nearly here! On Monday, rehearsals for the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest will begin at the Stadthalle in Vienna - and, for the sixth consecutive year, escgo! will be live on the scene for you right through to...
