Episode 13 - Fun aunties and a Gina G quiz

It’s a new regular episode of Eurovision Queens featuring 7 more classic songs from contests past with your ESC-obsessed hosts Andy & Ryan. This time we unveil a brand new category as we ditch 2nd placed songs (we’ve done all the good ones!) for semi-final entries that didn’t make it through to the final. It’s a rich vein and we start strong with Kate Ryan’s seminal Je t’adore from 2006. Two of the songs are performed by ‘fun aunties’: Maltese powerhouse Claudette Pace with Desire (which should have won everything back in 2000) and the unstoppable Joy Fleming whose 1975 performance is as memorable as it is terrifying. We also hear from McBusted-esque Lake Malawi with Friend of a Friend and finally get around to celebrating the wondrous Gina G. There’s even a mini-quiz in her honour. We return to Melfest for the supremely talented songwriter Cazzi Opeia with the catchy I Can’t Get Enough. And then there’s the Randomiser… oh dear. He’s from Iceland. He’s called Daniel. He looks like a creepy Bible salesman. His song is terrible. It secured zero points. You have been warned. So there we have it - another eclectic Eurovision fever dream and we loved every minute of it. Well almost every minute. Until next time.
