2021. It happened. So the singers weren't facemasked, singing to us from
their own kitchen but we didn't have a crazy two-week Eurovision invasion either. But there was a live audience and I was lucky to be at the Jury Final, sitting on a stones throw from Hurricane's Green Room Box. !</div>So my plan of meeting you all there for a chat and a party didn't materialize but I salute all the hard working people who made Rotterdam 2021 happen. Eurovision is here to stay.
