Paul Lang is a pop-culture writer from the United Kingdom whose earliest Eurovision memory is watching Bucks Fizz win when he was six years old - and he's seen every show since, usually while telling everyone else in the room to shut up and listen to the songs. By a strange twist of fate he ended up with Gina G as his landlady for ten years, and enjoyed the Contests from 2006-2016 sitting on her actual sofa. If you ask him, he will tell you that his favourite Eurovision act is ABBA, but it's actually Nicki French.
