We have a long and distinguished history of Eurovision coverage here at lowculture, and this year is no exception. As well as our previews, we’ve persuaded an INTERNATIONAL POPSTAR (or, at least, our mate Steve pretening to be one) to fly out to Belgrade and cover proceedings for us in a blogular fashion. Meet Squeezy! [...]

Eurovision 2008 Song of the Day France: Divine, Sébastien Tellier It’s French day today, and I’m going to go one about Serge Gainsbourg for a bit. Now, normally, you wouldn’t think that the French had really cared about Eurovision in recent years. Long gone are the halcyon days of Gainsbourg-penned melodies. However, Sébastien Tellier may [...]

Eurovision 2008 Song of the Day Norway: Hold On Be Strong, Maria Haukaas Storeng I may have gone on the record previously as saying that this was a weak entry for Norway. However, having listened to it many times, seen it performed, and accosted the singer herself, I now realise how wrong I was. Hold [...]

Eurovision 2008 Song of the Day Czech Republic: Have Some Fun, Tereza Kerndlová The most ridiculous video. Someone spent the budget on booze and poppers, it would seem, so everyone else decamped to a coffee shop and put the song on on the stereo whilst Tereza (the face of Maybelline New York) mimed along and [...]

Eurovision 2008 Song of the Day Malta: Vodka, Morena Seemingly not a fan-favourite. I don’t care. From the moment Morena graces the Maltese stage with HAIR and EYES and LIPS and LEGS, she basically owns the entire island. And this is before she’s even gone into the crowd mid-performance to get everyone off their arses [...]

Eurovision 2008 Song of the Day Iceland: This Is My Life, Eurobandið This is a massive song, performed with aplomb (yes, a big plomb) by Friðrik and Regína, with the legendary Páll Óskar pulling the strings (he’s already sacked the back-up dancers for something much more amazing instead. They’re pissed off – we don’t care). [...]

Bonsoir! Oui, c’est bien moi, la Céline Dion, chanteuse québécoise et mère extraordinaire. Mes chers, chers amis au lowculture veulent que je discute quelques petites chansons qui vont participer au concours de la Grand Prix de l’Eurovision! After those little words of French, I must speak to you in English. You know, people, they say [...]

CYNDISCOOCH! Eurovision – Your Decision, BBC One, 7.00pm It’s EUROVISION – YOUR DECISION. In other words, if it all goes horribly wrong in Belgrade (likely), then it will be EUROVISION – YOUR FAULT. Frankly, it isn’t worth spending that much time on, so let’s just whiz through the entries and leave it at that. Andy [...]

GREETINGS. MY NAME IS MARIJA ŠERIFOVIC, AND I AM STILL EUROVISION. After the not satisfactory response from my last announcement, I am back. You will read my words and agree. Molitva was the name of my winning song, and it is still sung in the European countries today. The hearts beat to Molitva! I received [...]

GREETINGS. This is I, Marija Šerifovic, champion of the Eurovision with my big Eurovision-winning hit, Molitva. Molitva means ‘Prayer’, and I have a Molitva for continued Eurovision success for my homeland, ha ha ha! Da! That would be satisfactory! After a reasonable contest, where I was crowned winner with my song Molitva, I embarked upon [...]
