It's relatively quiet on the Eurovision front this weekend. Everyone is girding their loins for next week's SuperSaturday - on 23 February no fewer than 8 countries will be picking their entry for Belgrade.
Attention this weekend is likely to be focussed on Turkey, who are not having a national final, but have simply chosen an artist and a song. This method has proved pretty successful for them in recent years - Sertab won Eurovision in 2003 and Kenan came 4th last year.
Hoping to keep up the good work are alternative four-piece rock band Mor ve Ötesi, which means 'Violet and Beyond'. Here at Eurovision Express we're not especially into alternative rock, although we did like Lordi, Wig Wam and Athena (if they count as alternative!). But we're all for a diverse range of musical styles in the Contest, so we're looking forward to seeing what the boys from Turkey have prepared for us.
Their song will be premiered tonight on Turkish TV at around 18.30 CET, so hopefully we'll be able to see and hear the song not too long after that. Stay tuned!

Ooh, Honey, I wouldn't bother.
It's a complete load of old shit!
I quite like it, and I'm surprised that I do!
