body in Bulgaria, heart in Greece (^_^)
From the Bulgarian jury only 4 names are known for me - Stoyan Yankulov (part of the "Elitsa and Stoyan" duo that represented us back in 2007 and 2013), Joana Dragneva (represented Bulgaria back in 2008 as part of Deep Zone, was a spokesperson back in 2009 and 2013) and Tedi Katsarova who is a (not so successful) singer who took part in our pre-selection a couple of times, her mother is an extremely famous singer in Bulgaria.

Michail Belchev is a famous singer from commie times.

I have no idea who Angel Zaberski is.

Not a bad jury I must say. I would prefer Orlin Goranov or Mariana Popova to be in the place of Belchev, but you can't have it all...

For the first time, I know all the names in the Italian jury, and I quite like them all (except one but I won't tell you who xD), so I hope they will have good taste and reward musical quality :)

Quite famous people in our jury.

Oleksandr Ksenofontov - Ruslana's husband, producer, composer, the man who forged our ESC victory. Probably the most unpredictable juror.

Maria Burmaka - folk indie performer, TV host. I predict her faves would be France, Estonia, Sweden & the Netherlands.

Valentin Koval - the Head of M1/M2 music broadcasters. All the samey commercial crap goes here.

Andriy Yakymenko - composer, worked for Star Factory & the Voice, ex-producer of Maria Yaremchuk, he collaborated with many stars here. Imo he would be the main ex-USSR supporter.

Lera Chachibaya - the Head of a radio station, radio host. Her faves would be adult contemporary entries & house/electro. My guess would be Latvia, Serbia & Hungary. Maybe Italy, Norway & France.

Looking at our jury-members (and knowing all of them) I can already tell you who definitely won't top their voting (hint: I suppose he's not gonna do all that well with the Ukrainian Jury either :lol: )

Haven't a clue who anyone in the UK jury is. xheat Full of nobodies.

No Cheryl for the UK? Scandalous..

Yes, it is outrageous. She should have been all 5 jury persons.

The Spanish jury is made up almost entirely of the contestants of theis year's NF. If I was the EBU I wouldn't approve it to be honest.

Ours is... decent enough, I guess? Thrilled to see Myf Warhurst on there; she's a music critic who's been on a few shows I've liked in the past, and she's got pretty good taste. The other one I've heard of is Shannon Noll, a moderately-popular singer from came from Australian Idol back in the early 2000s. James Mathison is a TV presenter who I haven't really seen around for the last decade or so, but I don't remember hating him, so that's something. The other names - Monica Trapaga and Craig Portails - don't ring a bell, but at least they're apparently one's a singer-songwriter and the other's a producer, so that seems fair enough. Better jury than last year, at least.

I know Monica did Play School for quite a while and sang the Bananas In Pajamas theme song. I haven't heard of Craig but he wrote Greece's entry in 2009.

Oh, she's that Monica? I didn't know her full name. No complaints there though. And the other guy having composed for Eurovision before is also a nice bonus. Good to hear we've got a better jury this year (there's no Richard Wilkins, at least)!

Shannon Noll was runner-up on the first season of Australian Idol. He came second to Guy Sebastian. :)

And James Mathison was co-host (along with Andrew G).
