Eurovision 2015 - 60th Anniversary Edition

Mel appeared in the musical 'Eurobeat' that was a satirical look at the Contest and featured a fictional contest based in Sarajevo. She played a charcater called Boyka, who was the host of the contest and also did the 'interval' performance. She was brilliant and the show was excellent, with many songs that were probably good enough to appear in the actual contest.

All in all she is an inspired choice!

That is a great, great show. Highly reccomended.

The preliminary list of national jury members has been released:

The UK's jury is lead by Dave Arch, MD from Strictly Come Dancing. Also on the panel is Strictly singer Tommy Blaize and X Factor and The Voice vocal coach Yvie Burnett.

Dave Arch was also musical director for the Eurovision's Greatest Hits concert last month.

Indeed. We were there:-) It was him and his "wonderful wonderful" orchestra!

Rewriting #eurovision scripts. Grammar check, pls. And do you think, I'm stretching it too far? Just a bit? pic.twitter.com/O1lUgtWyN0

Just highlights how wrong the BBC get Eurovision.

Does it? A musical director and some singers? Seem the perfect judges for a song contest.

As long as their are musical professionals who know what's good and what's bad in Eurovision then I don't mind.

That script looks painful.

Shows the stage (and it's lighting) in operation.

Indeed. For some reason, the humor in pan-European productions tends to be either nonexistent or forced.
