The Irish Eurosong (not to be confused with Belgium's Eurosong) kicks off this Friday at 22:35 live from Dublin. The show will see 6 artists perform on stage. They will be judged by the public, an international jury and an Irish jury (33% each).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From tomorrow onwards, it's all about <em>a hair <\/em>more complicated and you're going to have to make choices, or follow the evening on several screens... We start with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurovisionandfriends.com\/performers\/national\/year\/2025\/country\/ua\/\">Vidbir 2025<\/a> Ukrainian at 5.30pm. 10 artists. From 8pm, you can choose between the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurovisionandfriends.com\/performers\/national\/year\/2025\/country\/fi\/\">UMK<\/a> Finland, the second round of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurovisionandfriends.com\/performers\/national\/year\/2025\/country\/se\/\">Melodifestival<\/a>&nbsp;Sweden, round 5 of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurovisionandfriends.com\/performers\/national\/year\/2025\/country\/lt\/\">Lithuania<\/a>then at 8.10pm the final of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurovisionandfriends.com\/performers\/national\/year\/2025\/country\/lv\/\">Supernova<\/a> in Latvia, at 8.45pm the first semi-final of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurovisionandfriends.com\/performers\/national\/year\/2025\/country\/is\/\">Songvakeppnin<\/a> and finally at 21:00 the final of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurovisionandfriends.com\/performers\/national\/year\/2025\/country\/mt\/\">MESC<\/a> for Malta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our review!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tonight we'll be getting down to the Irish Eurosong, no argument there. Tomorrow we kick off Saturday night with Vidbir and Eurosong. Simple, basic. Then, between us, we're not really excited about the second round of the Melfest. So the Supernova final remains an interesting option for those who missed last week's semi-final. For the others, they can fall back on the UMK, even if we're a little less hyped after one of the favourites (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurovisionandfriends.com\/en\/performer\/one-morning-left\/2025\/\">One Morning Left<\/a>) was disqualified and zap over to Supernova at around 9.45pm for the points to be awarded and the winner announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I watch the shows?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rte.ie\/player\/onnow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Irish Eurosong<\/a> - Friday 10.35 pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/fWZSP_tOBhc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Vidbir<\/a> - Saturday 5.30pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/areena.yle.fi\/1-73049130\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">UMK<\/a> - Saturday 8.00 pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@LRTinklas\/streams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Eurovizija.LT<\/a> - Saturday 8.00 pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.svtplay.se\/video\/8PB953n\/melodifestivalen\/deltavling-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Melodifestival <\/a>- Saturday 8.00 pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ltv.lsm.lv\/lv\/tiesraide\/ltv1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Supernova <\/a>- Saturday 8.10pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruv.is\/sjonvarp\/beint\/ruv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">S\u00f6ngvakeppnin<\/a>- Saturday 8.45pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmi.mt\/live\/2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Malta Eurosong Song Contest<\/a> - Saturday 9.00 pm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you want to find out more about the National Selections, discover <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurovisionandfriends.com\/en\/selections-nationales\/\">our special reports on the main competitions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ce weekend est un un peu sp\u00e9cial pour tous les Eurofans puique c&rsquo;est le premier super-weekend du premier Super Saturday Eurovision 2025, avec pas moins de 8 shows qualificatifs pour l&rsquo;Eurovision.
