It’s record-breaking! Eurovision in Concert 2017 returns for the ninth time to Amsterdam, with an all-star lineup of Eurovision acts. A staggering 35 of this year’s 43 participants will be performing at the Melkweg. Not only that, but the show is hosted by Cornald Maas and Icelandic star Selma. It’s a Eurovision extravaganza like no other!
This year’s EIC is slightly different, in that it’s not the “opener” to the pre-party season. We’ve already seen some of the acts perform in Riga, London and Israel this year. But with more acts in the line-up, it gives a chance to see nearly all of them together at once!
On Saturday, April 8, we’ll see the first pre-party performances from the likes of Dihaj and Joci Papai. Of course, no Eurovision in Concert would be complete without the Dutch act either. O’G3NE will hit the stage too and we can’t wait to see the sisters perform.
Send us your questions!
As always, wiwibloggs will be there to film and ask the stars the burning questions. What would you like to ask the stars after their performances so far? Let us know in the comments section below and we’ll do our best to ask as many of them as we can!

@Sdf
ALexandra MAquet didn’t choose ALMA….its a shortened version of her name.
What’s the point of fans asking questions when you don’t ask them to the singers?
To Blanche: Who are your musical influences?

To Lucie: How did it feel at first to be chosen to sing a song that was written by a former Eurovision winner?

P.S. : I wish you the best of luck! Greetings from Tatabánya!

To O’G3NE now that the person who did the staging for The Netherlands in the last years, is working for Spain, who will do your staging?
Is your father the person that always has the last word?
I’m gonna promote @John question:
“Ask Francesco how it was to meet with Prof. Morris?”
After three parties (Riga, London, Tel Aviv) I would say (no matter who was where), that the biggest loser is FYROM Jana-Playback, and the biggest winner is Germany Levina.
If you don’t trust yourself do what Portugal Salvador did and pretend you are sick.
For Artsvik: In Depi Evratesil, was there someone that you were hoping to be your mentor, or were you hoping for Essaï?
For O’G3NE: What techniques do the three of you use to blend your voices so well together?
To Lindita: How the stage is going to be? (Lightning,fire etc) and what color will be the dress? It is going be a long dress?
My question to Ilinca: How did you learn how to yodel? Was it difficult?
My question to Kasia Mos: What kind of music do you like? Who is your favourite artist?
For Anja: The last time you tried out for DMGP, your song was composed by a previous Eurovision winner Emmelie de Forest. This year, she’s also the composer of the UK entry – have you listened to Lucie’s song and do you like it?
For Imri: Do you think you have an advantage over your competition thanks to having been part of the two previous Eurovisions as a backing vocalist for Israel? You know what to expect etc.
For Blanche: Why did you change your stage name? What was it inspired by?
Alma: Do you like the song from Portugal? Can you understand the lyrics?
Francesco: Can you talk a little about your album? There will be more songs like Occidentali’s Karma? What kind of music is in it?
Kasia: The reception has been very positive towards your song and stage performance. Do you think this might be a “Edyta Górniak Part II”?
For OG3NE. Can you give us some hints of how will your staging in Kiev be?
A question to Robin Bengtsson: Did you ever think that you would win Melodifestivalen 2017?
For Timebelle: Do you think you can get a good result for Switzerland this year? What do you think about the country’s failures in the past? I love you Timebelle !!!!!
My questions are for the following candidates: Lindita- Will you concentrate on a career in America after Eurovision? Will you promote World in America? It has the quality of being a world hit, and I personally think you could be a huge star over there. Considering you have the same quality voice as Mariah and Celine! Tamara- Would you collaborate with Lindita? You both have such strong vocals. You’re duet would be the European version Whitney & Mariah. Will you also record Keep The Faith in Georgian and Russian? Valentina- Have you ever thought about participating in Sanremo? You have… Read more »
For Norma John: What do they think is the most important part of a singer / group performance at Eurovision?
I have two questions I put for the Israel Calling event I would love to ask:
To Lindita: What was the hardest part in her journey to lose the weight she lost?
To Norma John: Is black a special color for you?
And I have two more questions:
To Imri: Having been a backing vocalist for Israel the last two years, which was the journey you liked most, the one you had with Hovi or with Nadav?
To Alma: Did you have any experiences with the Carnival show while you were in Brasil??
Thank you 🙂
To Eceryone Who sings in English: Can you sing your song in your own language?
