#UnitedByMusic: Previewing the first half of Eurovision Song Contest 2023 Semi Final 1

With only a few weeks until Europe decides who gets the 2023 glass trophy, it’s time to start previewing the entries in the running to win.

Which party are Liam and Io hoping to be invited to?

Why’s Michael so excited about traditional sounds?

What does Olga really think about Latvia?
