Webcast: Norway and Cyprus

More previews aired tonight

Cyprus continues their Eurovision Song Contest preview shows tonight with their third installment. Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland also join the line-up with a broadcast of their first preview show in Norway - the show has already been broadcast by other Nordic broadcasters. Viewers of both shows will enjoy the sometimes witty and sometimes biting comments of an expert panel.

The preview shows were created before the Internet era to give viewers exposure to all contest songs before the three minute performance on contest night.  Today the preview videos are found on the Internet, but in addition to a full screen high quality broadcast these shows still offer a first look at the song to casual viewers.  The dedicated fans often enjoy hearing the sometimes witty, and sometimes biting commentary offered by expert panels.

Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland combine preview broadcasts into a joint Nordic telecast.  The commentator panel includes personalities from each country with a connection to the contest or the music business.  The first Nordic preview will be broadcast in Norway tonight.  It will also be rebroadcast on YLE's Swedish language digital station in Finalnd (the Finnish broadcast is scheduled on YLE2 for Finnish viewers next week). Please note, this will not be the second preview show as reported yesterday  by mistake.  Other broadcasters have already carried the first preview show.

@TurkQuality

By quality do you refer to the sophisticated lyrics of the Turkish song?

"...lovey dovey all the time i got lots of candy to make you mine"

If that is quality, you have just given the word a whole new meaning.
Was the writing of this song a Kindergarden assignment?
