An update from the Back Seat

Music, National Finals, News, Society & Culture, Uncategorized

Michael hopped in to the Back Seat to drive Melbourne home and took Fiona along for the ride.

Since he hadn’t had a chance to publish a new podcast thanks to the craziness of the Mardi Gras weekend, he decided to take JOYEurovision to Monday Drive.

Michael and Fiona talked all things Eurovision, including:

• Hungary‘s choice of the very good looking Freddie;
• ManuElla’s colourful song for Slovenia;
• How big Norway‘s icebreaker might need to be;
• A duelling update from Sweden‘s own Melfest, including Fiona’s description of Dolly Style;
• The Polish spat over Michał Szpak;
• How Russia is playing the gays;
• Jüri Pootsmann’s Estonian turtleneck;
• Petitions in Israel;
• Michael’s new French husband;
• The result of UMK; and
• The announcement of Dami Im as Australia’s Eurovision entrant for 2016 and info about her song.

Plus there were a few of Michael’s favourite national final losers:

Suite 16 – Anna-Lee       

Dolly Style – Rollercoaster       

Laura – Supersonic       

Gušani Brothers – Poom Poom       

And something from Australia’s own rep:

Dami Im – Super Love (7th Heaven Radio Edit)
