Eurovision 2022: Pots and Participants of Semifinals Allocation Draw revealed!

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

The semi-finals draw will take place on Tuesday 25 January at 12:00 CET, from the Palazzo Madama e Casaforte degli Acaja in Turin. At the same time there will be a ceremony of handing over the keys of the contest or as it is widely known, the Host City Insignia from the previous hosts Rotterdam to the Italian organizers.

The allocation draw will determine whether the countries will participate in the First Semifinal (Tuesday, May 10) or the Second Semifinal (Thursday, May 12). Also, again based on the draw it will be determined if they appear in the first or second half of the semifinal. We remind you that the exact order of appearance is announced later by the organizers and after it has first been approved by the EBU.

The draw will be presented by TV presenters Carolina di Domenico and Gabriele Corsi. Rotterdam Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb and Turin Mayor Stefano Lo Russo will be present.

Friends of the contest will be able to watch the draw on Eurovision’s YouTube channel or on Rai’s streaming service.

Semi-final draw: How does it work?

Italy, as the host country, together with the other 4 members of the so-called “Big 5” (France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom) do not compete in the Semifinals, but vote in one of them… so before the competing countries in Semifinals, it will be determined at random which of the Semifinals the Big 5 will be allowed to vote for.

The next part of the draw will determine in which Semifinal and in which half of the respective Semifinal the remaining 36 participating countries will appear.

The 36 countries of the semifinals are selected from 6 different pots:

Pot 1

  • Albania
  • Croatia
  • Montenegro
  • North Macedonia
  • Serbia
  • Slovenia

Pot 2

  • Denmark
  • Australia
  • Finland
  • Iceland
  • Norway
  • Sweden

Pot 3

  • Armenia
  • Azerbaijan
  • Georgia
  • Israel
  • Russia
  • Ukraine

Pot 4

  • Cyprus
  • Greece
  • Malta
  • Bulgaria
  • Portugal
  • San Marino

Pot 5

  • Estonia
  • Lithuania
  • Latvia
  • Moldova
  • Poland
  • Romania

Pot 6

  • Austria
  • Belgium
  • Switzerland
  • Czech Republic
  • Ireland
  • Netherlands

Drawing countries from different pots helps to reduce the chance of so-called neighbourly voting and increases suspense in the Semi-Finals.

Lithuania: Ieva returns to “Pabandom iš Naujo!” with many hopes!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ieva Zasimauskaite hopes to return to the Eurovision stage after four years. She participates again in the Lithuanian national final for the contest.

As we revealed through our social media, we are one of the lucky ones to hear I’ll Be There in advance. Of course the song is in Ieva’s familiar style. It is a ballad, with not as slow tempo as her entry in 2018. The song is built throughout its duration. It starts with a simpler orchestration while in the second part it fills up and we hear some percussion. Its melody is easy to remember, while Ieva’s interpretation fills the listener with emotions and images. On the bridge the song becomes audible, to be completed with a quiet melodic erasure.

Ieva’s appearance in the second qualifying round of Pabandom iš Naujo! expected simple but impressive. The rehearsals started today and what we can reveal to you is that we will see a quite different Ieva compared to her previous participation. We will see more of her feminine side, without of course always losing her elegance.

The video clip of I’ll Be There will be released on Saturday 15/1, the same day that Ieva will present it live for the first time, during the second qualifying round of Pabandom iš Naujo !.

Until then, let ‘s remember once again When We’re Old, with which Ieva won the twelfth place at Eurovision 2018.
