Iceland: All the details of Söngvakeppnin 2025!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Iceland‘s national broadcaster, RÚV, has made official announcements for this year’s Söngvakeppnin, the national competition through which the country’s participation in the Eurovision Song Contest is selected.

Benedikt Valsson, Guðrún Dís Emilsdóttir, and Fannar Sveinsson are going to present Söngvakeppnin 2025. They are no strangers to presenting the Icelandic contest as Benedikt and Fannar were presenters in 2020 and Guðrún in 2016.

As we mentioned in our previous article (here), until recently, only the date of the first semi-final of Söngvakeppnin 2025 was known. Now, the full program of the Icelandic competition has been announced, which is as per below:

  • First Semi-Final – Saturday 8 February
  • Second Semi-Final – Saturday 15 February
  • Final – Saturday 22 February

As in previous years, five songs are going to compete in each semi-final. Three songs from each semi-final advance to the final, which is going to consist of six songs instead of the five that were used in previous editions of Söngvakeppnin. In previous editions of the Icelandic song contest, the fifth entry to the final was determined by RÚV itself.

Additionally, in previous years the top two songs in the Söngvakeppnin final would compete against each other again in an additional round where only the public voted to determine the representative of the land of ice and fire. This process was abandoned for this year’s contest. The winner and therefore Iceland’s representative in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 will be the one who comes first in the combination of the public vote and the vote of an international jury consisting of 7 members, with a 50% – 50% system.

Rúnar Freyr Gíslason, the executive producer of Söngvakeppnin, explained that this approach is used in both Sweden’s Melodifestivalen and the Eurovision Song Contest itself.

“We are very excited to adopt the Swedish method with this new format and believe it will create an even more thrilling competition.”

The competition returns to RVK Studios in Gufunes in the northeastern part of Reykjavík, which also hosted the competition in 2022 and 2023. There will be a significant upgrade in direction and production.

Selma Björnsdóttir, who represented Iceland twice at Eurovision (1999 2nd place, 2005 elimination from the final, 16th place in the semi-final), will return as a member of the artistic team. She has directed shows all over the world and has worked on shows such as Ísland got talent, Idol and Allir geta dansað. She will be joined by Thomas Benstem, a Swedish director, choreographer and graphic designer who has directed Melodifestivalen, So You Think You Can Dance, the MTV Music Awards, Eurovision and other major events. The team will also be joined by choreographer Baldvin Alan Thorarensen.

On Friday, January 17, the presentation of the artists and songs that will take part in Söngvakeppnin 2025 is scheduled at 20:40 CET through the special TV show “Lögin í Söngvakeppninni 2025”. For this year’s bid for the Icelandic representation, 110 entries were submitted to the Icelandic competition.

Finland: New clues about the candidates of UMK 2025!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The countdown to the reveal of the artists who are going to participate in the 2025 Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (UMK), Finland’s national competition for the Eurovision Song Contest, continues. With five days left until the list of artists who will claim the representation of the country at Eurovision 2025 in Basel on 13, 15 and 17 May is revealed, the national broadcaster, Yle, has made a third cryptic post on Instagram. You can read more about the first two posts in the article below.

Countdown to UMK 2025: Clues about Finland’s national final candidates revealed

The third post entails new clues related to one of the artists who is going to compete in UMK 2025.

  • Mary J. Blige: Mary Jane Blige is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, actress, and businesswoman. Her presence in the enigmatic post may indicate the style of the song, which may be in a similar style to Mary Jane Blige’s songs, or the artist’s profile may be similar to that of the American artist. Could it also indicate an artist from the United States? We’ll see.
  • Great Sphinx of Giza: The Great Sphinx of Giza is one of the most famous monuments in the world. The presence of the monument in the post has multiple interpretations. The Sphinx as an ancient mythological creature was known for its riddles/enigmas, so it may refer to the title of the song “Enigma”!?!?. The song could also make references to personalities of ancient Egypt, such as Cleopatra or a Pharaoh. Finally, it may indicate the artist’s relationship with Egypt themselves.
  • Colourful flowers: The presence of flowers hides various meanings and may be one of the messages of the song. If we can group the meanings then the flowers may indicate 1) love and romance, 2) hope and new beginnings, 3) futility and transience, 4) spirituality and purity, 5) sadness and farewell, 6) friendship and joy.
  • Husky: The Husky dog ​​breed fits the profile of northern countries like Finland. Among other things, the presence of a Husky dog ​​may indicate endurance and perseverance, freedom and independence, but also resilience in difficult situations and circumstances.
  • Water: Water is a dominant element in the geography of Finland. It is no coincidence that Finland has the title of “Land of a Thousand Lakes”. As a symbol, water symbolizes life and rebirth, purification and cleansing, emotions, transformation and change, but also destruction.

On Wednesday, January 8, 2025, the UMK 2025 artists are going to be revealed. From January 9 to January 17, 2025, each song and music video will be released one at a time. One month later, on February 8, UMK 2025 is scheduled to take place in Nokia Arena, in Tampere.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Yesterday, Thursday, January 2, the 24th episode of HaKokhav Haba was broadcast. This is the singing competition through which Israel will choose its entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, which will take place in Basel, Switzerland, on May 13, 15, and 17, 2025.

The continuation of the HaKokhav Haba battle phase started with 12 artists. Yesterday’s mission was the third part of the “surprise duet” phase, in which the last four contestants had to sing a duet with a famous singer whose identity they did not know. The famous singers were revealed to the contestants during their performance.

Hosts and Judging Panel

Rotem Sela remains the host of the show, alongside Assi Azar, one of the hosts of Eurovision 2019. Azar has been a host since the first season of HaKokhav Haba in 2013, while Rotem Sela took over as host from the second season, a role she continues to hold today.

The judging panel includes:

  • Assaf Amdursky
  • Keren Peles
  • Shiri Maimon
  • Eden Hason
  • Ran Danker
  • Itay Levi
  • Nasrin Kadri

The Couples

Alma Mimun de Razon

Natalie Tsafar

Natalie performed the song “Atalef Iver” by Hanan Ben Ari, featuring singer Narkis. Her performance, although having a unique voice, was judged as inaccurate and lacking the necessary emotional peaks to express the song’s feelings. The judges noted that her performance did not convey the required emotional intensity, and she received 60%.

Moran Aharoni and Red Band

Moran Aharoni and Red Band performed the famous song “Chandelier” by Sia, with the participation of judge Shiri Maimon. Moran impressed with her strong and expressive voice. Their performance received positive comments from the judges, and they scored 75%.

Amit Sagie

Amit Sagie performed the song “My Lover Doesn’t See Me Anymore” by Omer Adam, featuring Orcoohen. His performance was described as emotional, with proper emotional depth and good vocal delivery. He scored 70%, and the judges agreed that his performance showed dedication and authenticity.

The Elimination of the Night

At the end of the night, the judges decided that Alma Mimun de Razon, Moran Aharoni with Red Band, and Amit Sagie would continue to the next round of the competition, while Natalie Tsafar’s journey ended here.

The winner of last year’s HaKokhav Haba and Israel’s representative for Eurovision 2024 was Eden Golan. Eden Golan, with her song “Hurricane,” finished in 5th place in the final ranking.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The countdown to the highly anticipated announcement of the artists competing in UMK 2025, Finland’s national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest, has officially begun! With just six days left until the big reveal, Finland’s national broadcaster, Yle, has stirred excitement and speculation among fans by sharing two mysterious Instagram posts.

Packed with intriguing symbols and hints, the posts seem to offer glimpses into the styles and themes of this year’s entries. But what do these cryptic clues really mean?

First post

A post shared by UMK (@uudenmusiikinkilpailu)

  • Route 66: This iconic American highway could hint at a song with country, rock, or road-trip vibes. It might also point to an artist with U.S. connections or a theme centered around freedom and adventure.
  • Vintage Printer: The image of a man working at a printing press could symbolize an artist with a retro or classic style. It might also allude to meaningful lyrics or a song with historical depth.
  • Judge’s Gavel: This symbol could represent a song tackling themes of justice, power, or societal issues. Alternatively, it might suggest an artist with a bold and commanding presence.
  • Butterfly or Moth: Often associated with transformation, this insect might point to a song with an atmospheric or moody tone, or one that breaks new creative ground.
  • Traditional Wooden Tool (Planer): This could hint at an artist with a connection to traditional music, showcasing authenticity.
  • Iceberg: A nod to Finland’s cold climate, or perhaps a metaphor for something deeper—hidden emotions or layers to be discovered in the music.
  • Korkeavuorenkatu Street Sign: This Helsinki street sign could suggest a local artist or a cultural reference rooted in Finnish heritage.

Second post

A post shared by UMK (@uudenmusiikinkilpailu)

  • Doves: A symbol of peace and harmony, these birds might suggest a song with a unifying or uplifting message.
  • Pickle: A playful and humorous touch, possibly pointing to a lighthearted or troll entry—something UMK fans have come to love.
  • Dinosaur: Likely tied to a comedic or quirky act, this could hint at an entry that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
  • Planet Jupiter: Representing grandeur and epicness, this could signal a futuristic or cosmic-themed performance.
  • Diamond: A symbol of brilliance and uniqueness, perhaps hinting at a standout artist or a song with powerful energy.
  • Red Curtains: Suggesting drama and theatricality, this could point to an entry with a visually striking and performance-heavy concept.

What to expect next?

On Wednesday, January 8, 2025, the UMK 2025 artists will be revealed. From January 9 to January 17, 2025, each song and music video will be released one at a time. A month later the final will be broadcasted live from Nokia Arena in Tampere.

Windows95man won last year’s edition of UMK and therefore represented Finland in Malmö with “No Rules“. The country placed nineteenth overall with thirty-eight points.
