This opinion piece solely reflects the views of the writer and not those of ESCUnited as whole. (Well, the first one was a success so here we go again. The last one reached Baby Lasagna’s press team, so I’m scared for my life. Let’s quickly churn out a second editorial before I’m knifed down by the Istrian mob.) I love …
Local Norwegian newspaper Dagsavisen has received news from the EBU that no voting changes are being introduced for Eurovision 2024. This means that the semi-final qualifiers will once again be determined by a 100% televote process and will likely include a Rest of the World category as well.

With their selection freshly unveiled, it is about time to discuss one of my all-time favourite countries. Note that I didn’t say “Eurovision countries”. Let us dive in, in medias res, because this Eurovision nation is one you can’t spell without the letters L – O – V – E : SLOVENIA. But like, always, the usual disclaimer: NOTE – …
Once again it is time to scrutinize the odds of another Eurovision hopeful.
