David Brown Carr presents the second of his monthly 2025 Eurovision Song Contest shows, ahead of the 69th contest in Basel, Switzerland’s third largest city, in May. Eurovision continues to be the world’s largest and most celebrated entertainment show, attracting hundreds of millions of viewers globally each year, including more than a few in Aotearoa.
This program features just a few of his favourite female artists in Eurovision from across the years. They include a Bulgarian with her “singing mouse”, a Brit who won praise for keeping calm and carrying on during her disrupted live performance, a dazzling Aussie originally from Korea, another Aussie who swayed precariously on tall stilts while she sang, and a Serbian who won the contest with a low-key song which contained not a word of English. Also a sad song from Vicky Leandros, a true pan-European, and Celine Dion even makes a brief appearance.
