The victory of Salvador Sobral is a turning point in Eurovision history. It’s probably the most important victory since ABBA. Felix points out what’s so important about Portugal winning with this entry, and why 2017 is a landmark year for Eurovision.

The second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 is just a few hours away, and so it’s time for us in the escgo! team to predict the ten qualifiers for the grand final on Saturday.
So, semi 1, where do I start with you? I think it’s safe to say it wasn’t one for the books, or even for a YouTube rewatch (the fact it’s blocked in the US notwithstanding), but it had its moments. None of those moments were provided by our three hosts, but the saving...
The first of three shows is over at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 in Kyiv. Time for me to look back at some of the notable moments from yesterday’s eventful show!
From all the way in the USA, our Shi turns her attention to the second rehearsals of the second semi-finalists in her regular long read.
