JOYEurovision is finally back! As we get closer to the fun in Stockholm, Europe’s favourite TV show returns live to air on Australia’s only LGBTI radio station.
This week, Michael, Brett and Mark take a look at some of the songs that didn’t make it. Some were close, others were far, far away.
What were some of your favourites of the 2016 National Final season?
The Playlist
Elly V – I’ll Be Around (Bounce) [Austria] 
Xuso Jones – Victorious [Spain]
Veronicas Illusion – The Wrong Kind [Denmark]
Freddy Kalas – Feel da Rush [Norway]

The News
- It seems us Australians love the face time, so Dami’s lyrics have been cleared by the EBU
- SBS wants to send someone to do their social media legwork in Stockholm. Sadly Michael can’t go, but you can vote for your pick. Just make sure they know more about Eurovision than social media!
