Azerbaijan debuted in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2008, they were represented by Elnur & Samir with the song “Day After Day”, they finished 8th in the final. In 2011 Azerbaijan won the Eurovision Song Contest represented by Ell & Nikki and their song “Running Scared”. The song scored a total of 221 points, receiving only three sets of 12 points from Malta, Russia and Turkey. In 2018 Azerbaijan failed to qualify for the final for the first time, having previously had a 100% qualification record.
I have been following the Eurovision Song Contest since 2006, and more recently I’ve enjoyed watching partner contests such as the Junior Eurovision Song Contest and Eurovision Young Dancers. I joined Eurovoix as an editor at the beginning of 2017.
