What's the best non-winning song of the 2017 national final season? The semi-finals are closed, and our SongHunt is finally reaching its end! In the past weeks, we have narrowed down our favourites from the national preselections to just 12 songs, and now it's time to...
Martin takes a look at some of the most popular – and most ridiculous – theories going round the fan world about what might happen voting-wise at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.
Last year, when I wrote my view from San Francisco series, I was a full time freelancer and as I knew the chance of work happening during rehearsal week was The MakeMakes and Ann-Sophie, I just told my clients I wasn’t available until later in May. This year, however,...
It’s a new day, a new semi-final, 18 new rehearsals, and I am feeling like I’m really ready for it to be next week already. Hi! Serbia: Much like Sweden, Serbia makes sure we get an easy landing at the beginning of the second semi-final, opting for a staging that...
escgo! is back from a long hibernation. You might have noticed that we haven’t posted a lot about Eurovision recently, other than our own events and polls. | Why we at escgo! took a longer break, and why we just relaunched with a fresh new website.

As the first rehearsals in Kyiv come ever closer, it’s time for the escgo! line-up check to complete its analysis of the songs of the second semi-final. As always, the entries have been split between our editors – Felix, Shi and Martin – to give their personal preferences and predictions in text and emoji form. The non-assigned authors also get a 30-word “right of reply” afterwards.
The annual escgo! line-up check for 2017 has reached the second semi-final, to be held in Kyiv on Thursday 11 May. And while Russia’s withdrawal was an unnecessarily long, drawn-out and uncomfortable process for all concerned, at least it means the remaining 18 songs can now be neatly split between two blog posts. Which is very thoughtful of them. Anyway, it’s time to join our editors Felix, Martin and Shi as they turn their attention (and their emoji rayguns) to the next contenders for the Eurovision crown…
Portugal has won the 13th annual edition of ChatVote, the traditional event held by escgo! and the #esc chatroom to find our favourite song ahead of each year’s Eurovision Song Contest! In the 2017 edition, “Amar pelos dois” by Salvador Sabral received a total of 225...
