This is all one big sociological experiment, there's a guy behind a wall turning down the "funny" and "interesting" knobs and turning up the "bad news that makes you insane" knob to see if people will stop checking social media, he has been doing this for a decade But we do not stop

Shi thinks the host country has a chance, Felix believes in a red and black evening, and Martin is busy evoking the spirit of Yugoslavia 1989. But despite being generally clueless, the escgo! team has coalesced around one most likely winner for tonight. Do you agree? www.escgo.com/2025/05/17/w...

‪Happy #Eurovision day everyone! Fancy a morning longread while we wait for the show tonight? Shi has dissected the non-qualifiers and the finalists in their running order, song by song - so grab a coffee and something sweet and settle in for the voyage... www.escgo.com/2025/05/17/e...

Semi 2 is fast approaching - and it's fair to say that Martin, Felix and Shi's predictions are ALL OVER THE PLACE. Only four guaranteed qualifiers, and not a single country that all three of us consider to be definitely out. This could be an interesting night... www.escgo.com/2025/05/15/e...

Martin is joined by Felix and Shi as the escgo! team makes its all-important predictions for tonight's first semi-final! We agree on eight of the qualifiers - and we also agree that two songs will definitely not be making an appearance on Saturday night... www.escgo.com/2025/05/13/e...

A chandelier that's seen better days, some tacky steps, a giant boombox and a glittery sand vortex - the automatic finalists aren't holding back with their staging ideas. Here's Martin's analysis of what we learned from their rehearsal video clips yesterday... www.escgo.com/2025/05/11/e...

A Czech fashion statement, Princ being dragged across the floor, Emmy going to space, Go-Jo embracing the costume change as many times as humanly possible - it's all action in the second #Eurovision semi-final. Here's Martin's (over)analysis of the rehearsal clips! www.escgo.com/2025/05/09/e...

Everyone else is analysing those #Eurovision 2025 rehearsal clips, so we should too! Except, being us, we also manage to namedrop Leon's "Planet of Blue" and a song from Eirodziesma 2003. Never let it be said that our references are anything other than up-to-date. www.escgo.com/2025/05/08/e...

I've spent my whole adult life studying and working in the field of translation. It's almost a red flag to me at this point if anyone uses the word "faithful" to refer to translation – it shows they don't know what #translation really is. This review beautifully explains why.

If this happens, we’re holding the biggest Janey Godley memorial protest, right? No one gets into or out of that tournament without seeing so many ‘trump is a cunt’ signs that the message becomes etched on their retinas.

Think there can't possibly be a whole post's worth of interesting chat to be had around that Crazy Frog #1? Think again! Nostalgia abounds, and not just for those of us for whom the phrase "Jamba-Sparabo" will be forever evocative:

Oh awesome, I didn't know of @irishnumberones.bsky.social and am (natch) now diving into the #Eurovision entries. From the Butch Moore piece: "Outsourcing our Eurovision entry is not something Ireland seems to have seriously considered. Would Irish people stand for it?" And so Laika was manifested!

No national finals this weekend? No problem! 👍 From Klara Hammarström to Kristy Spiteri, the 12 most ROBBED songs of the #Eurovision season are still very keen to receive your votes in our SongHunt grand final. 🥰 So check out the playlist and vote vote vote! 🙏 www.escgo.com/2025/03/17/s...

LeAnn Rimes at the Yamaha Music piano rooms was pretty neat (albeit devalued slightly by the presence of Dan Wootton), but realistically nothing beats Taylor Swift at King's College London Student Union in 2008 😅

Pleasing gremlins in the machinery at MTV 90s this morning. So far it's claimed that songs from Gloria Estefan, Des'ree and Kim Appleby are all from "Urban Hymns, 1997". (To be fair, that -would- have made that album considerably more enjoyable.)
