Live Rehearsals Day 2 – Serbia to Russia
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...

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,...
Line-up check 2015: Switzerland
