Comedy, JOYEurovision: The Show, Music, National Finals, Society & Culture

The end of the 2023 National Final Season is upon us, as the final comps take place around Europe.

As is tradition, Sweden waits until the last moment to decide on its entry for the world’s biggest song competition. And we wait with baited breath for this year’s instalment of Melodifestivalen to finish.

Michael, Liam and Io both heavily agree and heavily disagree on the songs in this year’s Grand Final.

But everyone can agree on who’s probably going to win.

Who should be back in Melfest again soon?

How does Michael upset the apple cart?

What’s the big Aussie Eurovision news?
