/0 Comments/in , , /by

The eighth episode of the highly anticipated Israeli selection process for Eurovision 2025, HaKokhav Haba, aired tonight. This competition, known in English as “The Next Star”, is the format used by Israel to choose its representative for the Eurovision Song Contest.

Since its debut in 2015, HaKokhav Haba has been the main selection method for Israel, excluding the years 2022 and 2023. The show has achieved significant success, notably securing Israel’s Eurovision victory with Netta in 2018.

Though filming for this season began on October 10 at Neve Ilan Studios, on November 10 the official broadcast commenced on Israeli television.

Hosts and Judging Panel

Returning to host the show are Rotem Sela and Assi Azar. Azar has been involved with HaKokhav Haba since its inaugural edition in 2013 and previously hosted the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest. Sela joined as a host in the second season and has been a presenter ever since.

The judging panel for this season includes a diverse group of music industry veterans:

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

With their combined experience, the panel ensures a high level of competition, which promises to be even more intense than last season’s edition.

Contestants and Their Performances

In tonight’s episode, six more contestants took the stage, and five of them advanced to the next stage of the competition. Here’s a look at some of the standout performances:

Noah Feynman

The 17-year-old Noah Feynman hails from Rishon LeZion. She says she has been singing and dancing for as long as she can remember. Coming from a musical family, her father, Uri Feinman, participated in Israel’s national selection for Eurovision in 1991 and 1992. Noah performed “Arcade” by Duncan Laurence, dividing the judges. While Assaf Amdursky and Ran Danker voted against her, Noah advanced to the next round with a score of 72%.

Ido Amador

The 26-year-old from Alcana is a violinist. He performed “Stone Cold” by Demi Lovato, starting softly on the piano but reaching impressive vocal heights. By the end, all the judges voted in favor, and Ido advanced to the next round with a remarkable 91%.

Shira Knop

Shira, 26, from Jerusalem, performed “Don’t Be Afraid at All” by Ninet Tayeb. She showcased a steady voice and great confidence. Although Shira failed to raise the wall, Essi Rotem pressed the “SAVE” button, giving her a ticket to the next round after initially receiving 64% of the votes.

Roy Berger

The 24-year-old from Jerusalem is a vocal coach and singer. Passionate about music from a young age, Roy aspires to make people dance with his tunes. He chose to sing “Cosmic Girl” by Jamiroquai. While the song didn’t immediately captivate the audience, he secured a spot in the next round with 87% and unanimous support from the judges.

Hamsa Band

Hamsa is a band from Israel that enjoyed success from 2000 to 2004. They previously attempted to reach the Eurovision stage, participating in the national final in 2001. After disbanding in 2004, they reunited with a new single and are ready to compete for the country’s representation. Performing “Rakdi” by Yishai Levy, they displayed strong on-stage chemistry. Despite Assaf voting against them, the band advanced to the next round with 74%.

The next episode of HaKokhav Haba will be broadcast tonight.

The winner of HaKokhav Haba and therefore Israel’s representative in Eurovision 2024 was Eden Golan. Eden Golan performed her song “Hurricane“, finishing fifth overall.

Italy: There will be no songs about immigration and war at the Sanremo 2025!

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Sanremo Festival is just around the corner, and the countdown has begun for the announcement of the names of the artists who will participate. These will be revealed by Carlo Conti during the 1:30 PM TG1 broadcast on Sunday, December 1st.

In the meantime, the artistic director of the event was a guest on the Pezzi podcast, where he revealed that at least 20 artists have already been chosen, and that the song lyrics will not cover topics such as immigration and war.

Carlo Conti on the Lyrics of Sanremo Songs

The artists performing at SanremoGiovani 2025 will exceed twenty, a number Carlo Conti had set before hearing the songs proposed to him. He confirmed this during his appearance on the Pezzi podcast, stating that even the lyrics of the songs have undergone changes in terms of the topics they address:

There will definitely be more than 24 artists. How many am I sure of? I have 20 in mind, for sure. With names and songs, first and foremost, but also with the content. I see Sanremo as a big mosaic or a bouquet of flowers. But there is one innovation: what I like, and what has come through the songs, is no longer a ‘macro world’—they don’t talk about immigration or war—but we’re returning to speak about the ‘micro world,’ about family and personal relationships. I’m talking about the lyrics of this year’s songs. More human things from the micro world around us, family relationships. Everything is very personal, rather than looking outward.

Additionally, Conti mentioned several more names of well-known artists in the Italian music scene who are expected to take part in the festival, such as Al Bano Carrisi and younger singers like Fedez and Tony Effe, who have been considered for a potential duet with Emis Killa. Conti also stated that the number of female singers participating this year will be higher compared to previous years. One of the names that came up as a participant was the Italian rapper Anna.

Finally, Conti addressed the possible controversies that often surround the Festival, especially concerning the potential lyrics of the songs in competition:

I’m not afraid of controversy. But I can say that even the rappers have brought songs that are more oriented toward pop. They are evolving; they haven’t brought aggressive content, and I’ve heard songs that are anything but banal. Among the big artists, you may see someone who hasn’t come through a talent show and is less well-known than a young person from the giovani category who’s come from a talent show.

Although the official list of participants in the Sanremo Festival will be announced tomorrow during the TG1 broadcast at 1:30 PM Italian time, recent leaks suggest that many of Italy’s past Eurovision representatives are expected to return to the festival, including Francesco Gabbani (Italy’s representative at Eurovision 2017), Achille Lauro (San Marino’s representative at Eurovision 2022), Blanco (who represented Italy with Alessandro Mahmood as hosts at Eurovision 2022), Emma Marrone (Italy’s representative at Eurovision 2014), Al Bano Carrisi and Romina Power (Italy’s representatives at Eurovision 1976 and 1985), and the duo Jalisse (Italy’s representatives at Eurovision 1997). Now, Nina Zilli, who represented Italy at Eurovision 2012, has also been added to the list. Furthermore, a list of artists expected to participate in the festival has leaked:

• Elodie
• Alex Britti
• Anna
• Bresh
• Alban
• Caparezza
• Olly
• Arisa
• Nina Zilli
• Rocco Hunt
• Thomas Paradise
• Tropic
• Brunori Sas

SanremoGiovani 2025 Program

The festival will span five nights and will be organized as follows:

Night 1 (Tuesday, February 11, 2025): All 24 artists will perform their competing songs. A jury of professional journalists from television and internet media will vote on all songs. The Italian national broadcaster RAI will announce the top five songs with the most votes, in random order.

/0 Comments/in , /by

The song that Theo Evan will perform to represent Cyprus in Eurovision 2025 is now in its final stages. According to exclusive information, the song’s creators are currently working on the final mix, which is being completed in a renowned studio abroad.

Final Mixing Abroad

As previously reported, the song is the product of a collaboration between a team of creators from Greece and other countries, all of whom boast significant success both within and outside the Eurovision competition.

A few weeks ago, Theo Evan traveled to Athens for the final recording session. Now, the song is ready for its final mix.

A Promising Project and a Key Return

With a highly promising project and the return of a significant figure from the past, Theo Evan and the Cypriot delegation are confident that the song can secure a high ranking on the Eurovision scoreboard. But who is this key figure, and when will their identity be revealed? Most likely, we’ll find out during the Eurovision Grand Final on May 17—or maybe even sooner!

Eurovision is coming to Latin America!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The news that Eurovision is coming to Latin America has made the rounds of the Chilean media. More details have been revealed about the Eurovision Song Contest Latin America, including possible dates and venues.

According to reports in La Tercera newspaper, meetings have been held between the production company, Voxovation, and the Chilean government, where the country’s Minister of Culture, Arts and Heritage was present. In particular, details such as the venue and the date seem to have been discussed. The production company is looking for a covered venue with a capacity of 5,000 people and a possible month for the competition is October 2025.

Eurovision is expanding to Latin America.

Eurovision Latin America was first announced in July 2022. Production is being handled by well-known Voxovation names such as Christer Björkman, Anders Lenhoff, Ola Melzig, Peter Settman and Greg Lipstone, the same producers of the American Song Contest and Eurovision Song Contest Canada. At this point, it is worth noting that this is the third new edition of the Eurovision contest announced since 2019, and the first to include multiple countries. The other versions currently in progress are the American Song Contest, Eurovision Asia, Eurovision Canada & Eurovision India.

 

Chile in the spotlight.

The country is not famous for its music industry. It hosts the Viña del Mar International Song Festival, the oldest song contest in the Americas, which began in 1960 and is held every February in the city of Viña del Mar. But the Eurovision Latin America contest will renew the region as far as music is concerned and will give a special touch to the local music industry, managing to unite nations through music. This is, after all, the whole message of the Eurovision contest.

Montenegro: With Neonoen and “Clickbait” in Basel!

The winner, Neonoen with the song “Clickbait,” received strong support from both the jury (2nd place) and the public (2nd place), securing the top spot overall. The song stood out with its modern aesthetic and captivating performance, earning the opportunity to represent Montenegro at Eurovision 2024.

The public favorite was Baryak with “Dva srca,” receiving the highest number of televotes but finishing 3rd overall due to a lower jury score.

Nina Žižić with “Dobrodošli” narrowly missed victory, as a higher televote score (an additional 8 points) could have resulted in a tie with Neonoen. In such a case, the jury’s preference, per Montesong rules, would have awarded her the win.
