BBC reveals shortlist for best Eurovision song

The BBC names the songs on the shortlist for consideration in Eurovision: Come Together.

The BBC has unveiled the shortlist of classic Eurovision songs that will be put to a public vote tomorrow night.

This year's contest proper was called off due to coronavirus but in its stead the BBC is airing a night of themed programming, including a Graham Norton-fronted special, Eurovision: Come Together.

The programme will re-air some classic Eurovision performances and then invite the audience to vote online for their favourite.

The shortlist includes winning entries such as Loreen's 'Euphoria', ABBA's 'Waterloo' and Bucks Fizz's 'Making Your Mind Up', as well as fan favourites including Mahmood's 'Soldi' and Loic Nottet's 'Rhythm Inside'.
