Line-up check 2014: France
As one of the "Big Five", France qualify directly for the final and they haven't done particularly well recently, with Patricia Kaas giving them their one solitary top ten place in the past ten years. They are hoping to reverse that trend this year by sending the...
Line-up check 2014: Finland
In 2006, Finland briefly found its way out of its eternal status as a Eurovision underdog by winning the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time. Ever since, the Nordic country has returned to the "wrong" half of the scoreboard - or remained stuck in the semis....
Line-up check 2014: Estonia
After a disastrous start to the semi-final era with five straight non-qualifications between 2004 and 2008, Estonia's qualification record has been pretty decent the past few years, having reached four of the past five finals - so will 2014 keep their good record...
Line-up check 2014: Denmark
Denmark joined the Eurovision family in the contest's second edition back in 1957 and has scored three victories, most recently (of course) with Emmelie de Forest's Only Teardrops last year. This means the country is automatically qualified for the grand final in...

Line-up check 2014: Belgium
In Malmö, Belgium just managed to achieve a left-half-of-the-scoreboard result for the second time since nearly winning the contest with Sanomi in 2003, but unfortunately the country is rather used to missing the final. This year, Flemish broadcaster VRT tried a whole...
Line-up check 2014: Belarus
Belarus were one of the first countries to choose their song for Eurovision 2014 way back in January, which seems like a lifetime ago. After a close battle, TEO won the ticket to Copenhagen on his second attempt at going to Eurovision, the first being in 2009. TEO,...
Line-up check 2014: Azerbaijan
Does Azerbaijan want to win Eurovision again? Because if they do, and if they’re willing to put in the usual work behind the scenes to optimise their chances, then we could very easily be heading back to Baku. If you're getting a sense of déjà vu, that's because those...
Line-up check 2014: Austria
After a series of unsuccessful attempts at Eurovision - apart from Nadine Beiler (who at least reached the final) - Austria is now trying their luck again with an internally selected artist. Austria have sent arguably the most controversial artist in this year’s...
Running order for 2014 semi-finals announced
The running order for the semi-finals of the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest has been announced. Continuing the policy introduced at last year's contest, the order was decided by the producers of the shows and approved by the EBU, rather than being determined in a random...

Line-up check 2014: Germany
Germany is still the most recent Big 5 country to have won the contest. After Lena's victory in 2010, the central European nation managed to score two further top 10 results, but it was less lucky last year, when its result wasn't as glorious. Was the bad result...
Line-up check 2014: Georgia
Georgia's context in recent ESC history consists of glamourous parties at Eurovision, Georgian wine, disturbing national finals, strong entries, decent results and Anri Jokhadze. This year - just like last year - broadcaster GPB is trusting in the benefits that an...
