Jeremy's ready to have his life destroyed, Dimitry longs for a little more of that schlager-y goodness, and Oscar can't stop laughing at one of this week's winners.Croatia's Dora: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqB8Kr2lB5YSan Marino's San Marino Song Contest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdeSEj1wvHEPortugal's Festival de Cancao (free login required): https://www.rtp.pt/play/p14573/festival-da-cancao-2025Sweden's Melodifestivalen with English commentary: https://www.svtplay.se/video/j16Gnw7/melodifestivalen-the-final/melodifestivalen-2025-the-final?video=visa The Eurovangelists are Jeremy Bent, Oscar Montoya and Dimitry Pompée.The theme was arranged and recorded by Cody McCorry and Faye Fadem, and the logo was designed by Tom Deja.Production support for this show was provided by the Maximum Fun network.The show is edited by Jeremy Bent with audio mixing help was courtesy of Shane O'Connell.Find Eurovangelists on social media as @eurovangelists on Instagram and @eurovangelistspod.bsky.social on Bluesky, or send us an email at eurovangelists@gmail.com.

Een Eurovisie Songfestival jaar kent vele hoogtepunten en twee er van deden zich in de afgelopen weken voor. GJ opende de Ziggo Dome en Marco ontweek weer eens Cornelia Jacobs tijdens Het Grote Songfestivalfeest. Dus tijd om terug te blikken. Maar wie ze zeker niet ontweken; dat waren Sep en Jasmijn. Ze zochten de Nederlandse jeugdhelden zelfs op in Nice bij het Junior Songfestival en zagen Frankrijk voor de 3e keer in 4 jaar het Junior Eurovision 2023 winnen. En beleefde Marco zelfs een primeur in zijn Eurovision carrière... In deze aflevering hoor je het volledige audio verslag van Junior Eurovision 2023 in Nice waar ze dankzij Interrail en Eurostar bij waren en interviews met Songfestival helden Mans Zelmerlow, Alessandra, The Roop en Gustaph!

En natuurlijk is daar ook nog de grand dame van de kritiek, Angela de Jong, om haar licht te laten schijnen over de tweede halve finale. Want was de tweede show beter dan de eerste? Was dat stuk met de dragqueens een succes? Wat vonden de kenners van de tweede 16 songs. EN… we blikken natuurlijk vooruit naar de finale van zaterdag. Hoe vaak komt Mans Zelmerlow nog terug in Songfestival-uitzendingen? Heeft het panel commentaar op het commentaar van Jan Smit en Cornald Maas? En wat zijn de bier-haal-momenten van de finale? Wat gaat Duncan Laurence precies doen? En de vraag der vragen: wie wint deze editie? Is dat de gedoodverfde winnaar Loreen uit Zweden of publiekslieveling Finland met het aanstekelijke 'Cha Cha cha'? Het panel is verdeeld: 'Jurypunten gaan Finse Käärijä de Songfestivalwinst ontnemen!' Als je een samenvatting wil om totaal voorbereid op dat songfestivalfeestje te verschijnen aanstaande zaterdag.
