    The 2024 Series Malmö - Big 5, Sweden and Final Ranking

    Hello and welcome to our third episode of The 2024 Series! Together with Joy and Lukas, we keep on ranking the songs of this edition held at the Swedish city of Malmö. Now it's time to analyse the entries from Big 5 and the host country: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom.


    As usual, there will be time for analysis, debate and laughs, but at the same time there is time for other issues. Also, this is the time where Didrik and Javier will introuduce thier own country's and they will talk more deeply about the Spanish and Swedish songs and the reactions they have caused. Finally, the general supervisor Didrik Gustafsson will make you know our final ranking through our combined points. Do you agree with us?


    Eurovision from A to Z team and the hosts will talk about the songs in order of appearance and rank them in our habitual top system: We will rank all the songs (37) from top to bottom attributing a maximum 37 points to our winners, then going downwards until the last place, which is null points. Remember: it's fun to give zero points.


    The songs during the interval act are:
    Nightwish - Sleepwalker (Finnish National Final 2000)
    Therion - Poupée de cire poupée de son (Live in Chile)

    The 2024 Series Malmö - Semifinal 2

    Hello again and welcome to our second episode of The 2024 Series! Together with Joy and Lukas, we keep on ranking the songs of this edition held at the Swedish city of Malmö. In episode, it's time to analyse the entries of the Second Semifinal of Eurovision 2024: Malta, Albania, Greece, Switzerland, Czechia, Austria, Denmark, Armenia, Latvia, San Marino, Georgia, Belgium, Estonia, Israel, Norway and The Netherlands.


    As usual, There will be time for analysis, debate and laughs, but at the same time there is time for other issues. Our hosts introduce their own countries' entries. Javier gives again his support to Megara as he did in person during Madrid Preparty. You'll find again the crazyness of our votes provoking our laughs continously.


    And of course, we haven't avoided the most contoversial topic of this edition: the presence of Israel. Each one of us has our own opinion about the song and Israel's participation and all of them are legitimate. It is a hot potato and an elephant in the room of EBU and the debate can last hours and hours, but the best thing you can do is to listen our opinions.

    S02 Ep08 - Vienna1967

    S02 Ep08 - Vienna1967

    Hello dear listeners! After a long time we go back with a new episode. Real life issues sometimes surpass you and it's been really difficult to have this episode edited after the recording some months, so apologies to our listeners for not enjoying a fresh episode for such a long time. In fact, when we recorded this episode only we knew Mustii and Silia Kapsis as representatives of Belgium and Cyprus.

    This time we go to Vienna's Hofburg to enjoy the 1967 edition, a year where the European Union began to have the shape we more or less know now. The Großer Festsaal der Wiener Hofburg hosted this edition with the return of great names like Claudio Villa, Raphael and Kirsty Sparsboe, and the presence of a legend named Vicky Leandros.

    But at the same time, this is the year of one of the conerstones of Eurovision: Sandy Shaw had a sweeping victory with the hit "Puppet on a String", a timeless classic and a song everyone knows. Please, enjoy a listen who is our winner.

    S02 Ep07 - Luxembourg 1966

    Hello again, dear listeners! We are back with another episode of Eurovision history. This time we have a special guest, Robert, from Norway, with whom we have had a really great time recording this episode.

    We give our opinions about Malmö as the host city of Eurovision 2024 and who are the host we would like to see. Javier will talk about "Euroblack" (the first fiction set in Eurovision) and the forthcoming interview with its author Luis Miguel Sargento.

    This time we analyse 1966 edition, celebrated at Villa Louvigny in Luxembourg, one of the best editions of that time and perhaps of ESC ever. We will review and rank the songs, and specially the songs of our respective countries, three living nationals myths of the music: Åse Kleveland, Lill Lindfords and Raphael.
