David, this year’s Eurovision Countdown programmes are produced by Norway’s NRK for the European Broadcasting Union, according to eurovision.tv. They’re also already available to watch on Eurovision’s official YouTube channel.
cant wait love eurovision
@ vrom. I still have Dum Tek Tek stuck in my head
I like these prep shows. You get a look at the songs, properly. So when they butcher it in the main event, singing out of tune and out of synch, it’s not so bad.
Last year’s Countdown to Eurovision series was very good even though I watched it after the event . I never want to lessen the spontaneous horror of the hearing the songs on the actual nights! So I’ve got the PVR ready to go for Friday..!
One year on and I still have that annoying “Fairytale” song in my head.
