/0 Comments/in , , /by

BBC has today revealed all the details of the three live show of the 67th Eurovision Song Contest 2023 to be held in Liverpool, the United Kingdom.

Semi-Final One

The night of the first semi-final will open with a video of a young Liverpool boy crossing the city announcing to family, friends and neighbors (and special guests!!) that Eurovision has arrived in Liverpool.

Julia Sanina will perform “Маяк” by The Hardkiss. Маяк is the Ukrainian word for Lighthouse, and this interpretation is meant to symbolize in many ways how the United Kingdom is united through music with Ukraine by hosting the 2023 Contest on behalf of the winning country of 2022.

Rita Ora will perform a medley of her hits during the first semi-final voting process, as well as a world premiere of ‘Praising You’. Alyosha and Rebecca Fergusson will perform a cover of “Ordinary World” together.

Timur Myroshnychenko will provide highlights of the Opening Ceremony, while former contest hosts Måns Zelmerlöw (2016) and Filomena Cautela (2018) will continue with their Eurovision insights.

Semi-Final Two

A spoken word piece will open the Second Semi-Final talking about the history of the Eurovision Song Contest.

“Music Unites Generations” will be the interval act with Mariya Yaremchuk (Ukraine 2014) performing a medley of Ukrainian music. The piece will travel back in time and ends with OTOY, Zlata Dziunka and Mariya together.

In addition, a show called ‘Be Who You Wanna Be’ will celebrate how Eurovision is a place for everyone. Three drag performers will perform alongside a line-up of dancers made up of a spectrum of fans of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds.

Additionally, Timur and Graham Norton will appear on the show to discuss Saturday’s final night with the hosts.

Grand Final

As previously announced the contest will be opening with Kaluish Orchestra and ‘Voices of a New Generation’. During the flag parade past Ukrainain participants will remind viewers of how they have become Eurovision stars over the years.

In addition to the aforementioned details, there will also be video films of Junior Eurovision 2022 in Yerevan Armenia and Eurovision’s power to create music stars

An (extra) big change is coming to Eurovision 2023!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

After the many and important changes instituted in the voting system both in the semi-finals and the final, it seems that the viewers of the contest will experience another big change in Eurovision 2023!

According to what Lee Smithurst – lead producer of this year’s Eurovision – told at eurotrippodcast, viewers will experience an additional big change.

There is a big surprise coming. 

There’s no way we can talk about it at all!

The revelation about this big change was made in the discussion about graphics and led screens and what the presentation of the results will look like.

We just want to do something bold. It’s important to us that it didn’t look like other Eurovisions have looked. You never want to copy something that’s [been] done before or make graphics that look like the graphics before…I’m a flags fan, and colours of flags are important.

You can listen to the entire podcast below:

Will this big change have anything to do with the way the results are presented?

Monika Linkytė: “My performance in Liverpool will be similar to the national final!”| Exclusive Interview

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

This year’s representative of Lithuania in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, Monika Linkytė spoke exclusively to Eurovisionfun and Matamis Apostolis about her entry “Stay” and her plans for the Liverpool stage!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68lbEUDuWUQ&embeds_euri=https%3A%2F%2Feurovisionfun.com%2F&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title

On her experience with the competition so far, she said that she didn’t expect there to be so many pre-parties but she’s having as much fun as she can but at the same time trying to stay professional.

Monika of course also participated in the competition in 2015 as a duo and of course she talked to us about this experience:

“My previous experience on the contest will definitely help! I keep the love I felt then in my heart! All these 8 years, I was gathering experiences, writing music and performing and that’s how I came back to the competition!”

For this year’s “Stay” entry, Monika said:

” Everyone asks me about the lyrics “Čiūto tūto” and how catchy they are! It’s the power of these lyrics and the overall message of the song which is about healing and how to discover your inner self!”

“The phrase “Čiūto tūto” comes from our traditional music! In the past, there were some traditional rituals in our culture where they repeated these words to get strength, connect with their soul and live a better life!”

About the performance on stage in Liverpool, she revealed to us:

“You’ll see something similar to the performance  of the national final and we’ll stick to the amber shades! Orange is gold for Lithuania and we want to stick to something that symbolizes a lot for the country!”

She then revealed to us that she has people from Greece in her close circle of friends and that she especially loves our country! She also named Spain, Norway and Portugal as her favorite entries from this year’s competition, as well as the bands from Ireland and Slovenia who have been linked all this time with their joint appearances at Eurovision parties.

Austria: Teya’s & Salena’s outfits for Eurovision!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Austrian National Broadcaster ORF has revealed through social networks the outfit of the duo that will wear on the Eurovision stage.

The clothes Teya & Salena will wear were created in collaboration between two designers. Johann Erhardt from Berlin’s “Haderlump” atelier and creative director and stylist Maximilian D’ Antonio took care of the outfits for the two women, who will represent Austria in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.

Teya commented:

“The outfits reflect our personalities and still go together. Our classic colors will also be seen on the big stage. So it’s not a big surprise, except maybe for those who expected us to appear in secretarial outfits and moustaches.”

Also Salena noted:

“We feel incredibly comfortable and are very excited to see how we will stage the outfits. The team behind the design fully understood and implemented our vision – also in such a way that we didn’t lose our individuality. We love it.”
