Söng the Melodija & long live the Queen: Recapping Slovenia and Iceland and remembering Lys Assia

It’s time to rewind back to early March when two small European countries threw open their National Final doors. Michael and Io jump to Slovenia and Iceland to see what wasn’t good enough to get the winner’s ticket to Lisbon.

Who got robbed again at EMA?

Which song does Io wish would have won Söngvakeppnin?

Will the televote ever match the jury vote?

Plus we remember the First Lady of Eurovision, Lys Assia, who left us on Sunday.
