(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); "Nothing else even comes close": Russia's 1995 Eurovision representative and one of the contest's greatest composers, Philipp Kirkorov criticizes Eurovision and promises a competition to surpass the veteran event.   and a familiar face in Eurovision, has once again sparked headlines - not with praise for the European contest, but by promoting the newly revived Intervision Song Contest. Kirkorov, who represented Russia in 1995 with “Kolybelnaya dlya vulkana” (in English: “Lullaby for the Volcano”), finishing 17th, claims Intervision will be “bigger, more impressive, and far more relevant” than Eurovision. Russia prepares to host the song competition "Intervision" during 2025 in Saint Petersburg, the second largest city in Russia.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The British sci-fi series "Doctor Who" released a trailer for a Eurovision-inspired episode featuring a special guest appearance, set to air amid scheduling challenges between major TV events. The iconic British series "Doctor Who", which premiered in the 1960s, follows an alien ("The Doctor") who travels through time and space to save civilizations. Deeply rooted in British culture, the show frequently incorporates pop culture references and guest appearances. Previous connections to Eurovision have been indirect, but the upcoming 15th season takes a bold leap. In 2023, David Tennant (reprising his role as the Tenth Doctor) promoted Eurovision 2023 in Liverpool, England. However, the new season features Ncuti Gatwa as the 15th Doctor, who will accompany his companion Varada Sethu (as Ruby Sunday) to the "Interstellar Song Contest" - a Eurovision-inspired event set in outer space.
