The trio finishes off their review of every ESC winner from the 21st century, including one bonus winner, and start thinking about who might lead the pack of the 21st century champions.

The Eurovangelists are taking three weeks to listen to every ESC winner from the 21st century, offer up their thoughts, and then ultimately rank them to determine the greatest winning song of this millennium. Jeremy's spotting Olympic medalists, Oscar's cooking up the most satisfying Eurovision dish, and DImitry dishes on his least favorite artist of the 21st century winners.

In honor of Juneteenth, we've prepared a celebration of the many great black musicians who've been a part of the Eurovision Song Contest over the decades, and who better to join the party than the host of Black People Love Paramore, Sequoia Holmes? Jeremy's clapping on the 1's and 3's, Dimitry has an interesting take on the Netherlands, Sequoia's not feeling cruise music, and Oscar doesn't think he's man enough (man enough).

With all the drama that's been happening in Malmö, the postcards are just piling up, so it's a whole hour of listener questions, along with what songs are taking the place of 2024's Eurovision hits. Jeremy's full of Italian gibberish, Dimitry's in his element when it comes to intro songs, and Oscar... well, it was too gay and he tuned out.

Send us your pet pics to @eurovangelists on Instagram or to eurovangelists@gmail.com by the end of June and Dimitry will donate to prove his love of animals!

Spicy doesn't even begin to describe the week of the Semis and the Grand Final in Sweden, so we're doing our best to recap it. Jeremy approves of this year's rockers, Oscar's dizzy over Dizzy's glow up, and Dimitry's dreaming of a life in Copenhagen.

It's the day of the show, y'all! Semi-final 2, that is. The crew rolled the dice on their predictions for this year's contest before Dimitry went abroad to experience Eurovision in person for the first time. Jeremy's Waiting on a big dance break, Dimitry says it's time and that time is 11:11, and even Oscar can't deny being scared for Scared of Heights.

Semi-final 1 is already available to watch on Peacock right now! Semi-final 2 will air Thursday, 5/9 at 12 PT / 3 ET, and the Grand Final will be on Saturday, 5/11 at 12 PT / 3 ET. And download the app so you can vote as well - more info here: https://eurovision.tv/vote

ABBA's ascendancy to worldwide fame began in Brighton, England, where they claimed the Eurovision trophy amongst a field of fun acts and wild outfits. Jeremy's getting kinda Paranoid, Oscar's feeling more than a little Korni, Dimitry wants you to Cross Your Heart, and Arnie? Well, he's just Poogy.

Three opinions aren't enough for the 2024 class of Eurovision videos, so the Eurovangelists brought in Worldvishawn to get a fourth perspective on what videos stuck out this year. Jeremy can't wait for his talharpa lesson, Dimitry's got an incindiary postcard to share, Oscar's starting to groove to those doomsday blues, and Shawn has cracked the code.
