#ESC2022: Interview with Sweden’s Cornelia Jakobs Eurovision Ireland managed to catch up with Sweden’s Cornelia Jakobs in Turin, during her preparations for the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest. She told us about family advice, Eurovision friendships and of course her favourite cake. Do you like Cornelia’s song? Could she […]
#BIRTHDAY: Eden Alene from Israel is 22 today It’s always good to get a second chance. It gives you the opportunity to right a wrong. Or actually do something you were lined up to do, but never got there. Like those performers who should have been in Rotterdam […]
#ESC2022: Semi-final One predictions As you’ll know, we at Eurovision Ireland reviewed the 40 songs (plus one other) from this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. We gave each one a score out of 50. You can find our seven reviews on the Eurovision Ireland Youtube channel HERE. But what […]
#BIRTHDAY: Maggie MacNeal from the Netherlands is 72 today A host broadcaster never wants to win. They may tell you otherwise, but deep down they know that our favourite TV show is something that would get expensive if the hosts had it for a second – or even […]

#BIRTHDAY: Remedios Amaya from Spain is 60 today We love winners of the Eurovision Song Contest. But we should also remember that someone has to come last. Whether that song deserves to come last is another matter. Back in the day, the last placed song could have finished […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sennek from Belgium is 32 today Our friends in Belgium have only ever had one win, despite competing in our favourite TV show since the year dot. They’ve had a couple of near misses, but of the seven originals, that second won proves elusive. With Belgium, there’s […]
#ESC2022: Turin – the first views Eurovision Ireland – well, some of it – has made it to Turin. We can’t get into the Press Centre until Wednesday 4 May. But it doesn’t stop us looking around nearby. We found the impressive Piazzale Grande Torino and the park […]
