JOY Eurovision

It’s a Junior Eurovision party as Michael, Liam and Io preview ten of this year’s entries on babblePOP!. As usual, the talented children annoy the team, but they’ve produced quite a few bops to make up for it.

Who does Io think can sing?

What does Michael hope happens on stage?

Which country has a good chance of winning?

Let us know your pick of the ten by voting on the babblePOP! website and listen out for the second lot of hopefuls, including Australia’s Jael, during next week’s show.

Catch the show at 2am AEDT on Monday 26 November online, or via ABC ME at the family-friendly time of 6pm AEDT on Monday 26 November.

If you really love the songs, download or stream the album.

It’s a wrap for this year’s JOYEurovision season, and what better way to celebrate than throwing a Euroclub party?

Michael, Liam and Io queued up with their accreditation badges to enter an hour of club remixes of some of your 2018 favourites. Grab your friends, throw your handbags down and dance around them as we fire the Eurovision dance floor up for the last time for the 2018 season.

What remix does Liam actually like?

How does Io know so much about music?

Does Michael ever not like a remix?

Thanks

Netta won the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest for Israel and, to celebrate, we went back in time to enjoy some of their past entries.

Michael took the journey back for 45 years of Israeli Eurovision delights, including their four winners and some songs that didn’t do as well.

It’s all come down to this. The Grand Final of Eurovision 2018 is just hours away, and the team got together to preview the auto qualifiers. Michael’s not feeling too crash hot in Lisbon and Mark, Hikaru and Io are holding fort in Melbourne for the last preview show of the season.

Not only do all six auto qualifiers get a play, but there’s even a bit of Jess Mauboy in the mix.

What has China done to get into trouble?

Has Hikaru finally gone off Portugal?

Who does the team think will win?

It’s all in the podcast.

Loving the songs?
