/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Slovenian national final has returned as a selection process after a two-year absence, and the country’s audience seems to have responded positively, as the viewing figures are quite satisfactory.

In detail, RTVSLO, the country’s public broadcaster, announced that 206,500 viewers watched the final live on TV SLO 1, reaching a percentage as high as 24%. In total, over 514,000 viewers watched at least one minute of the broadcast, while the largest number of viewers watching simultaneously was 267,000 viewers.

The young audience was also increased, as viewers aged 15-34 were seven times more likely to watch TV SLO 1 at that time slot, compared to the whole month of January.

However, the numbers are relatively lower than the last time that EMA took place, in 2022, by 3% and by approximately 28,300 viewers.

Slovenia will be represented by Klemen at Eurovision 2025 with the song “How Much Time Do We Have Left” and will compete in the first half of the first semi-final on May 13:

/0 Comments/in , , /by

It’s been two weeks since Yuval Raphael emerged as the winner of HaKokhav Haba and secured the chance to represent Israel at Eurovision 2025. Prior to her victory, KAN opened a submission window inviting songwriters and composers to submit their entries for the upcoming contest.

Today, KAN announced that we will first listen Israel’s entry for Eurovision 2025 on March 9th. The song will be released on Kan 11, Kan Gimel, Kan BOX, and Kan’s digital platforms.

How will Yuval Raphael’s song be selected?

With more than fifty submissions received, the process of selecting the right song for Eurovision 2025 is already underway. A special committee will review all the songs anonymously before conducting a secret vote to determine which one will best represent Israel on the Eurovision stage.

Once the song is chosen, Yuval Raphael will begin recording it, and a music video will be shot upon the official release. Additionally, the final track will undergo a review by the EBU, which will ensure the song meets all necessary guidelines.

KAN has expressed high hopes for Israel’s participation in Eurovision 2025, as evidenced by the significant investment in this year’s participation -a record budget of approximately one million euros.

Poland: Wildcard Entry in Polskie Kwalifikacje?

/0 Comments/in , /by
According to the latest information, Polish-Norwegian singer Teo Tomczuk, born in 2006, may be added to the list of national qualifiers and compete on February 14 for the chance to represent Poland in the 69th Eurovision Song Contest.

His song, “Immortal”, written by Jeremi Sikorski, was originally submitted and performed during auditions but was not included in the final ten due to formal issues related to his citizenship. However, it appears that the situation has changed, as Teo has reportedly obtained Polish citizenship, leading Polish public television to grant him a wildcard entry.

Polish audiences may recognize Teo Tomczuk from his participation in the 15th season of Mam Talent or from Top of the Top Festival in Sopot. “Immortal” is his eleventh single, but his most notable media recognition so far comes from his role as Mathias in the Norwegian series Rykter.

Polskie Kwalifikacje 2025

The confirmed artists set to compete in Poland’s national final are:

This year, the winner will be chosen entirely by public SMS voting. In case of technical difficulties with the voting system, TVP has prepared a backup plan. If an issue arises, the results will be determined by a backup jury.

Poland will compete in the first half of the First Semi-Final on Tuesday, May 13.

Last year, Poland was represented by Luna with the song “The Tower”, which finished 12th in the First Semi-Final, failing to qualify for the Grand Final.
