"The 70th edition of the contest, which will culminate with a live show on Saturday 16 May, will feature 35 countries in total. However, five countries - Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain - will be boycotting this year's contest over the decision to let Israel take part."
"The Albanian artist has described how the song came to him in a dream. Lyrically, "Nân" tackles themes of migration and maternal love. Alis, accompanied by a haunting choir and violin quartet, may be one of the vocal powerhouses of the night."
"Essyla, who was a finalist on The Voice Belgique, will be representing Belgium. The catchy pop track is the perfect post-Winter Olympic banger as she sings about dancing on the ice. She's described the track as "an anthem to the determination of youth, to its optimism and its ability to carve its own path.""
