    before the whole December 2025 bullshit I was doing some album listens of past Eurovisions and this is honestly a bop.

    That's it for 2008 - an inflection point in Eurovision history. Half of Europe is treating it as a joke, the half is taking it very seriously.

    What would the EBU you do to restore the reputation of the competition?

    Televoting time. 2008 was splattered with complaints about bloc voting, diasporic voting, and even that attempts to fix the televote were occurring.

    Was Eurovision becoming a big joke?

    The EBU were the only one's who could see the details and they weren't letting on.

    Back to the normal schedule.

    2008 had plenty, and I mean plenty of moments when boundaries were pushed in unexpected directions...

    Ljubavi. It's all about the ljubavi. Laka was a soldier in the Bosnian army during the wars of the 1990s, now he's proclaiming the joys of living. On a stage in Belgrade.

    Pokušaj is the quirky song that won hearts in 2008.

    Türkiye is firmly in the rock camp for 2008 and mor ve ötesi are one of the biggest names in the country, even if Terry Wogan thinks their lead singer is sinister.

    San Marino's first ever Eurovision entry was also possibly their best ever Eurovision entry.

    But Miodio still finished behind middle-aged Estonian radio comedy, a made-up language and a turkey.

    The difficult case of Ani Lorak in 2008. Overlooked in 2005, now fully signed up and present at the birth of the Dream Team.

    But who actually wrote the song?

    Sebastien Tellier just wants to be a chiver and sing in English. The French parliament insists on some French at least.

    One of Aremnia's Eurovision legends, Sirusho, had her moment in 2008.

    Could the Future of Armenian Music deliver Armenia's third top ten finish in the country's third year of Eurovision?

    Andy Abraham got to Eurovision thanks to one person and one person alone.

    The outcome was disappointment, bitterness, and a resignation.

    The wind from Madeira blew Vânia Fernandes to Eurovision across the seas. Along with a stellar production team, and a storm-tossed performance, Portugal were changing things up.

    One of the all time Balkan ballads and a burying of the hatchet between Serbia and Montenegro all in one three minute song.

    Jelena Tomašević finally gets her moment on the Eurovision stage with Oro

    Almost in everyone in Iceland with any sort of Eurovision connection came together in 2008 to create the Europop perfection in the form of Euroband.

    Occasionally a broadcaster decides to go arty.

    The postcards are often used to show off a country and appeal to potential tourists. This year though RTS decided that they wanted something witty, something clever, something cost-effective.

    RTS was determined to give Europe a taste of Serbia during the interval acts this year, and some of that was kinda scary.

    Nearly all of it involved brass bands.

    Two rivers, two themes, two semi-finals, an infinite number of sofas in the green room and absolutely no plums.

    The design elements of Eurovision 2008 were on a scale not seen before.

    So many semi-finals, so many scoreboards. And what are these jury-vote countries rescuing Sweden's qualification record from nowhere?

    43 nations competing at Eurovision means a lot of national finals, and lots (and lots) of songs.

    There's also the matter of working out which countries get put in which of the two semi-finals for the first time. How did it all work?

    On to Belgrade 2008. Another first time host and now there's two semis, a semi-final draw, and a distinct sense of forboding about the future of Eurovision.
