Azerbaijan has proven to be a formidable powerhouse at the Eurovision Song Contest since the country debuted in 2008, with one win to their credit and racking up multiple top 10 finishes.
This year youngster Samra will bring her “Miracle” to the Stockholm stage in a hope to keep up the run of solid results. It won't take a miracle for her to qualify for the Grand Final but she's going to need one for her to win.
This is a great little pop song with a big, if not generic, chorus. Hopefully, come the Grand Final, there’s distance in the running order between this and Dami's "Sound of Silence".
