Roll on, October! The temperature is slowing dropping here in the UK, but the world of Eurovision is serving fire. So once again we’ve gathered around the microphone to discuss some of the most talked-about stories on the Wiwibloggs web site from the past week.
This week we discuss the results of the OGAE Second Chance Contest, which finished with another win for Sweden with Anna Bergendahl. Our readers have been showing a lot of love for runners-up Erika Vikman from Finland and Elvana Gjatta from Albania. In other news, Montenegro won’t be returning to Eurovision in 2021. Norway will once again stage a six-show national selection in Melodi Grand Prix. And our readers have named Eurovision 2016 in Stockholm as their favourite edition of the song contest over the past decade.

The bits and pieces that cannot be necessarily put in your youtube videos, not to say articles. I also *loved* the acknowledgement of the people that worked on the articles you featured and the podcast. I like these podcasts more and… Read more »
