Expert predictions before semi-final 1
A couple of hours before semi-final 1 starts, we took the time in the press centre to collect a few opinions and predictions from friends and experts from other media.
Party mood continues on semi-final day
Following a posh reception hosted by Germany in the afternoon, last night saw the second "big" delegation party of the season as Israel invited the accredited press, fans, members of the local Israeli community and tons of this year's artists to the Glasklart venue in...

Final week starts in sunny Malmö
10:59 (Felix) Good morning from sunny Malmö! Whereas last week was quite exhausting, with a lot of stuff to work on, the final week has arrived - and we all know that it's the more relaxed one during the day, and the more party-loaded one in the nights! Speaking of...

Live Rehearsals – Day 7!
Good morning everybody! It's the last day of the first week of rehearsals for the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest, and having seen all 33 of the semi-finalists put through their paces over the last six days, it's finally time for the "big 5" - Spain, France, Germany, the...
Sunday: Party hangovers and “big five” rehearsals
Martin (9:40) Last night, EuroClub played host to the Belarusian party, and I think it's fair to say that there are a few sore and regretful heads around the press centre this morning. It was in many ways the first "real" party of the ESC fortnight, with all due...
Live Rehearsals – Day 6!
Hello! We're back in the Press Centre for the second day ready for the second rehearsals of the second semi-final. Myself (Danny) and Martin will be taking turns during the day to give our esteemed opinions on the performances with me taking the first part, while...
Middle weekend in Malmö gets underway
Martin (11:10) Morning all! It's the middle weekend of the Eurovision fortnight, and as is traditional, things are starting to hot up all over the city. More and more fans - especially those who are "just" coming for the shows, rather than sitting in a daylight-free...
Live Rehearsals – Day 5!
SLOVENIA First to take the stage with their second rehearsal is Hannah from Slovenia who has swapped with Austria. There's a few technical issues with the video and sound links - the feed is coming on the main screen but there's no sound, and but there are smaller...
Opening day of the press centre
Danny (11.15) And a very good morning to you all! The sun may not be shining as much here today in Malmö as it has been the past few days, but you can definitely tell that Eurovision fever is rising more and more as we get ever closer to the big event! Today saw the...

Review of Rehearsal Day 2 (Video)
8 May 2013 | we asked some friends and colleagues about their opinions on yesterday's rehearsal, and also show some impressions from the Meet & Greets. https://youtu.be/99s60-Zosy0
Rain can’t ruin the Malmö mood on the third day
Martin (9.55) Not quite a bright and early start to the third day in Sweden's third city - managed to leave my accreditation in the apartment, and the sunshine has turned to rain with threatening grey clouds hovering over the Central Station and EuroClub. Things...
Fan Café opens as rehearsals continue on Day 2
Martin (8.30) It's Tuesday morning, the sun is shining (again!), and a few sore heads are being nursed following the opening of Euro Fan Café last night. While Euro Club has been a fixed element of the live ESC experience for many years, the Euro Café concept has...

First Rehearsal Day in Euroclub
10:35 (Felix) We're in Euroclub and began blogging about the rehearsals in our rehearsals blog! This is the area were we can sit down at tables, and where the Meet & Greet will be held later: [singlepic id=255 w=500 float=none] And upstairs, people settled down in...
Blue skies as Accreditation Centre opens
09:55 (Felix) The first night in Malmö is over! My fellow editor Danny and I have been out for some drinks with friends and colleagues from other websites, and it became - at least for some of us - a quite short night. The place we've been to, you might want to mark...
Arriving in Malmö
14:09 (Felix) The first part of our esc-chat.com team has arrived in Malmö! My colleague Danny is on his way, Martin is joining us tomorrow. During my very short flight from Berlin (45 minutes), I considered leaving my luggage in a locker and going to Copenhagen...

Collective Headache Day
FelixK (10:28) It's a holi-holiday, and we all have a headache. Last night's party at Euroclub was quite... different. Judged by friends' comments about their own state of wellbeing (or not), it might have been a buzzing, heavy party, but was it? Euroclub 2013 is...
Live Rehearsals – Day 4!
There are some sore heads around the press area on our fourth and final day here in the EuroClub cinema, with the party having gone on rather late last night. It's quite strange coming to "work" in a place where one was dancing to "Bombo" just a few hours previously....
