Before we get into Eurovision 2025, there is one part of the contest that we haven’t looked into, and that is the commentators and spokespeople, who form an integral part of how all of us experience the contest at home. They bring a unique cultural standpoint, knowledge, and humour to the broadcast, as well as awarding the elusive ’12 Points’ that the national juries have awarded.
In this article, we look into the delegations that have confirmed who will be guiding the shows in this year’s contest, as well as who will be awarding the jury points.
