Random stats fans will enjoy the fact that North Macedonia has finished 12th on 9 out of their 18 appearances

How does Macedonia have so much money?

The jurors included Sven Lõhmus, Anri Jokhade (of "I'm A Joker" fame), Rafał (of "The Ride" fame), and Aaron Renfree formerly of the S Club Juniors

I don’t know if this is true but I read they were not allowed because JESC is part of the EBU and it has an audience of 30mil so it would be seen as advantageous.

"Reached" is doing an astronomical amount of heavy lifting there.

The much more boring reason why Slimane didn't perform is that he was in Paris with recording commitments for The Voice, apparently.
