  1. have an internet connection
  2. and a device to connect to the contest’s site.

You can vote for your favorite songs on the contest’s page, but only after watching a short recap of all 16 songs.

Once the recap is over, viewers will be able to vote for their favorite three entries, neither more nor less.

The two phases of the Online Voting

The Online Voting for Junior Eurovision 2023 is divided into two phases:

Phase 1: The voting began at 8 pm today (CET time). the vote submission window will remain open throughout Saturday and will close at 15:59 on Sunday, November 26, shortly before the show begins.
Phase 2 : it will take place during the live broadcast. The window will open shortly following the final performance of the show, namely The Netherlands. It will remain open for approximately 15 minutes, in a similar way to how it is conducted in the adult Eurovision.

The votes submitted in the two voting phases will be summed up following the conclusion of the second phase and will be calculated as a single result.

Junior Eurovision 2023 – the voting procedure

The Online Voting has replaced the familiar televoting via phone calls and SMS and hence it is the one that will determine 100% of the public’s vote. Therefore, the winner of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023 will be decided as following:

  • on 50% via the Online Voting, which will be conducted in the two aforementioned phases
  • on the remaining 50% by the participating countries’ national juries. The national jury of each country will include three music industry professionals and two kids aged 10 to 15.

Germany: Artists who submitted for “Das Deutsche Finale 2024”!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Seven more artists who are likely to represent Germany in the upcoming Eurovision contest in Malmö were made public earlier today on the ESC Kompakt website.

John Riot

John Riot is a German model and singer. His participation in The Voice seven years ago helped make him well-known to the general public and he currently has over 100,000 Instagram followers. The singer has attempted to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest before. In 2020, he attempted to represent San Marino but did not manage to win the ticket to Rotterdam. His song for this year’s “Deutsche Finale,” “Intoxicated”, addresses the bullying and exclusion that members of the LGBTQ+ community encounter, a topic he claims he has personally experienced.

 

Gute Katze Böse Katze

Among the artists that might be included in the final list of contenders for the “Deutsche Finale 2024” is the band Gute Katze Böse Katze, which characterizes its sound as “Hamburg cuddly punk”. The group submitted the song “Rendezvous” with Waldinsel Records. The band feels that winning the national selection will be hard, because the song is unconventional and is sung in German.

Gloria Massamba

Gloria Massamba rose to fame in Germany following her victory in the “Erftkreis Lied Contest,” a regional competition in which ten municipalities compete with one song each. This year, she submitted the pop-dance song “Start Again”, along with producer Dieter Kirchenbauer.

Eva Lima

Eva Lima is known in Germany’s electro-pop scene. This year, she is claiming the country’s representation with the song “Scared Of The Dark”, which stays true to the singer’s well-known musical identity. The hip-hop tempo and the song’s dark atmosphere give this particular participation an extra layer of interest.

@evalimamusic Mein Song für Malmö 🇸🇪🇩🇪#esc2024 #eurovisionsongcontest #germanyeurovision #unsersongfürmalmö #twelvepoints #esc ♬ original sound – Eva Lima

Fabio

Fabio, who is of Italian descent, is mostly known in Germany from TikTok, where he has a particularly high level of popularity. He recently released the song “Shake it”, with which she aspires to participate in the “Deutsche Finale 2024”.

Dario Black

Dario Black is another artist who made his interest in representing Germany known via TikTok. You can listen to his track, “Let The Music” below:

@iamdarioblack “Let The Music” for Eurovision Germany 2024. A fusion of latin pop & electronic music is gonna be 🔥 on stage. #eurovisiongermany2024 @ESC Deutschland #eurovision ♬ original sound – Dario Black

Ksenia Eirich

Ksenia Eirich’s song is entitled “Wherever I Go”. It is a combination of various musical styles, including rock, rap, and dark-pop. Below you can watch the music video of her entry, which she has directed herself.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0fH0Dwpe_c

The German broadcaster NDR reports that 693 proposals in total were submitted. In particular, 475 solo singers, 71 duets and 127 bands aspire to participate on the German national selection. Greek-German singer Melissa Mantzoukis is among the artists that submitted an entry. Information on the upcoming stages of the evaluation as well as the final list of songs that will compete on February 18 will be released soon.

Germany was represented this year by Lord of the Lost and the song “Blood and Glitter”. The band, which is well-known in Germany, came in last place overall, with a total of 18 points. Will Germany be able to recover from its string of poor results and move to the left side of the leaderboard?

Germany: 693 songs submitted for “Das Deutsche Finale 2024”

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Sunday, October 15, the entry period for “Deutsche Finale 2024”, the national competition through which the German representative for the upcoming Eurovision contest will be chosen, came to a close.

The German broadcaster NDR reports that 693 proposals in total were submitted. In particular, 475 solo singers, 71 duets and 127 bands aspire to participate on the German national selection. Information on the upcoming stages of the evaluation as well as the final list of songs that will compete on February 18 will be released soon.

This year, interested artists also had the option of submitting proposals by sharing their song on TikTok with the hashtag #UnserLiedFürLiverpool. Over 900 videos were published, several of which were not considered serious proposals.

Greek-German singer Melissa Mantzoukis is one of the artists who submitted for the German national final. Melissa gained popularity in Germany, through her participation in Idol 2022 . This year, she attempted to represent Greece in the competition with the song “Liar,” but she ultimately did not manage to do so even though the 70-member audience committee gave her a solid first-place ranking. The information we have indicates that the song she submitted to NDR has nothing to do with her participation this year.

Germany was represented this year by Lord of the Lost and the song “Blood and Glitter”. The band, which is well-known in Germany, came in last place overall, with a total of 18 points. Will Germany be able to recover from its string of poor results and move to the left side of the leaderboard?

The deadline for submission of applications for the “Das Deutsche Finale 2024”, the national final through which Germany’s entry for the upcoming competition will be selected, ended last week. The songs are currently in the evaluation stage.

Along with his brother Niels, Jørgen Olsen represented Denmark in the 2000 Eurovision, winning the first place with 195 points. Since then, he has attempted to return in the contest twice, in 2005 and 2007, without however achieving it. Would you like to see Jørgen Olsen return to Eurovision ?

Germany: The participations highlights of Das deutsche Finale 2024 through TikTok!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The exact role the public broadcaster NDR’s official TikTok account will play remains murky.

Although there was an official mention of the platform in the first official press briefing for the German final, it is still up to the participants to publicize their entries on TikTok with the hashtag #EurovisionGermany2024. Of course, this does not exclude the use of other social networks such as YouTube, where there is already enough material available. It is important to mention that the participants are officially committed only through eurovision.de. For this reason, there will probably be no voting through the popular platform this year.

Below you can watch some candidates who have posted material with the relevant hashtag #EurovisionGermany2024.
