Βelgium: Listen to the acoustic version of “Before The Party’s Over”!
“Before The Party’s Over” was performed live by Mustii on VRT.
Listen to the acoustic version of Norway’s participation!
Mustii performed live the Belgian entry on the VRT television channel and answered the journalist’s questions. Due to the situation in Gaza, Israel’s participation is very sensitive, and there have been calls for a boycott. According to Mustii, this doesn’t make sense; he will not boycott the competition.
It may sound a bit cheesy, but I prefer to bring a message of hope and love.

Luxembourg: Commentators for RTL and spokesperson unveiled!
The lineup for Luxembourg’s RTL’s coverage of the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden, has been revealed.
The commentators for RTL will be Raoul Roos and Roger Saurfeld.
Who will the spokesperson be?
Many have been wondering who will be the person to hand out the first “twelve points” of the country following its thirty years of absence. Other than Désirée Nosbusch, there would be none. Désirée Nosbusch is no stranger to the Eurovision community, having hosted the contest the last time it was held in Luxembourg in 1984. She was one of the hosts of the Luxembourg Song Contest earlier this year. Given that she was only 19 years old in 1984, Désirée Nosbusch is actually one of the youngest hosts in the contest’s history.
So far, the following countries have revealed their spokesperson for Eurovision 2024 in Malmö:
- Georgia – Sopho Khalvashi
- Belgium – Livia Dushkoff
- Switzerland – Jennifer Bosshard
- Azerbaijan – Aisel
- Slovenia – Lorella Flego
- Luxembourg – Désirée Nosbusch
Tali will represent Luxembourg with her song “Fighter” and will perform last in the first semi-final of May 7.

EBU for what is revealed in the Cypriot Ambassador’s document: “We condemn any attempt to manipulate the vote”!
The EBU gave an answer to the issue that arose in the previous days with the official document of the Cypriot Ambassador about his meeting with the President of ERT, during which, according to the former, Mr. Zoulas announced the low score of Cyprus in the upcoming song contest Eurovision. According to what was published by the newspaper Ta Nea, which is published today, Monday 22/4, the EBU reacted to all these developments, publicly condemning any attempt to manipulate the scores of either the critical committees or the televoting.
The voting voting rules for the Eurovision Song Contest, which are known to all participating broadcasters, describe that the juries must vote independently and in a completely fair and objective manner. We condemn any attempt to manipulate either the public or the jury vote in the Eurovision Song Contest. All voting procedures are checked by an independent observer to ensure that we provide a fair and valid result throughout the competition.
EBU
The issue is again hosted on the front page of the newspaper:
The EBU document was also made public through Alpha’s show, Super Katerina.
In today’s article in Ta Nea, it is stated that there is particular concern in the EBU for the question marks that have been created, as well as that the answer given by the President of ERT did not particularly reassure the European decision-makers. We will, of course, monitor the matter and inform you of any new developments.
