 Eurovision Song Contest 2015 - The POST EUROVISION DEPRESSION Cure: What
an amazing 60th Eurovision Song Contest ORF and EBU staged in the
Wiener Stadthalle in three amazing shows with two Semi Finals and the
Grand Final on Saturday 23 May 2015. 40 countries competed with 20
countries making it into the Grand Final meeting the the Host Country
Austria as well as the Big 5 (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and United
Kingdom) plus special guest Australia. The 60th contest was won by Måns Zelmerloew from Sweden with the song "Heroes"
Many fans and journalists left Vienna with tears in their eyes saying
farewell to two weeks of a real good time departing from the Eurovision
Family for yet another year. The POST EUROVISION DEPRESSION (PED) has
conquered Europe and beyond and Eurovision Radio International is the
best cure for it week by week as we reflect on the Eurovision Song
Contest 2015 with broadcasting the many interviews done in Vienna. For
the results of the Semi Finals and the Grand Final please go to eurovision.tv or click here.  Interview with Monika and Vaidas (Lithuania 2015): Radio
International already had the chance to get to know and chat with
Monika and Vaidas at Eurovision in Concert 2015 earlier on in April when
they came to Amsterdam and the nicer it was to see both again and their
development of the participation of the Lithuanian representatives at
the Eurovision Song Contest 2015. One of the most symphathetic duo ever
at the Eurovision Song Contest Monika and Vaidas performed "This Time"
starting Semi Final 2and ranking at Number 7 with 67 points at the end
of the evening and with this securing the place in the Grand Final for
Lithuania. At the end of the voting of the Grand Final Monika and Vaidas
ranked their country at Number 18 with 30 points. JP and David chatted
with the singers after their press conference in the Vienna Press
Centre. Listen to this interview on this week's edition of Radio
International. You can also watch this interview on our YouTube Channel - click here
 Interview with Molly Sterling (Ireland 2015): Representing Ireland at the Eurovision Song Contest 2015
was Molly Sterling who competed for the ticket to the Grand
Final in Semi Final 2 where unfortunately she only ranked at Number 12
when only the Top Ten placed countries advance to the Grand Final.
Ireland received 35 points in Semi Final 2 for the song "Playing with Numbers".
During the rehearsal week JP had the pleasure to meet the singer in the
Vienna Press Centre for an interview you can hear this week's edition
of Radio International. You can also watch this interview on our YouTube Channel - click here
 Interview with Lisa Angell (France 2015): One of the nicest voices of the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 was Lisa Angell
who represented France this year performing a classic French chanson.
Like United Kingdom, Germany, Spain and Italy France is part of the Big 5
countries meaning they don't have to go through the Semi Final stage
and is directly qualified for the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song
Contest. Lisa performed the song "N'oubliez pas" meaning "Don't
forget" which ranked at Number 25 at the end of the show with a total of
4 points. In reaction interviews after the Eurovision Song Contest Lisa
said that she liked that feeling so much to be at the Eurovision Song
Contest that she would do it again straight away. JP met the singer plus
translator for an interview after her rehearsal and Press Conference in
Vienna. Listen to this interview on this week's edition of Eurovision
Radio International.
