Basel with a very nice event hosted a few minutes ago the draw for the semi-finals of the 69th Eurovision Song Contest.

The analyzes of the fans and not only, have been on fire for a few minutes now. Since the theories based on the pre-history of the countries in the competition, it is a first insight into how passable the qualification to the final is or not. In other words, it’s time to make our predictions, about who will go through to the final and who are the favorites to say goodbye to Basel early…

The presenters and the handover ceremony

Leading today’s allocation draw were Jennifer Bosshard and Jan van Ditzhuijzen, who guided us through this pivotal Eurovision tradition.

In addition to determining which countries will perform in each semi-final, today’s ceremony marked the official handover of the Eurovision insignia from last year’s host city, Malmö, to Basel. Attending the event were Carina Nilsson, the President of Malmö City Council, and Conradin Cramer, Basel’s City Council President.

Draw Procedure

Big 5 and Switzerland

With the big winner of last year’s competition, Switzerland, directly in the final, along with the Big 5 (UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain), the first part of the draw determined the semi-final that the direct finalists would vote for.

Will vote in the 1st Semi-Final:

  • Switzerland
  • Italy
  • Spain

Will vote in the 2nd Semi-Final:

  • Germany
  • France
  • United Kingdom

In the semi-final that the six aforementioned countries were drawn to broadcast and vote for, the video from their dress rehearsal will also be shown. This was done at Eurovision 2016 for the first time, for reasons of equal exposure of the countries directly in the final and the countries that qualify from the semi-finals. Essentially, viewers see each entry twice during the shows.

Semi-Final Allocation Draw

The allocation draw for the two semi-finals had two parts. In the first part the 31 countries participating in the semi-finals were drawn in which of the two they will compete in. Fifteen countries will compete in the first semi-final and sixteen in the second semi-final.

In the second part, each country learned whether it will appear in the first or second half of the semi-final in which it will compete. The exact order of appearance will be determined by the EBU and the show’s producers at a later date.

1st Semi-final (May 13):

1st Half

  • Sweden
  • Ukraine
  • Slovenia
  • Iceland
  • Estonia
  • Poland
  • Portugal

2nd Half

  • Netherlands
  • Azerbaijan
  • Albania
  • San Marino

Basel will host the 69th Eurovision Song Contest from 13 to 17 May at the St. Jakobshalle. The motto of this year’s event, as chosen by the organisers, is “United by Music“, retaining the motto first chosen for the contest in Liverpool in 2023.

Luxembourg: Laura Thorn will represent the country in Eurovision 2025 with “La poupée monte le son”!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Just a while ago, Luxembourg Song Contest, the Luxembourgish national selection for Eurovision 2025, was concluded. Luxembourg Song Contest served for another year as the country’s selection method for Eurovision and was broadcasted live from Rockhal in Esch-sur-Alzette.

Hosted by Raoul Roos, Loïc Juchem and Conchita Wurst and following the combination of votes from eight international juries and an online vote operating both inside Luxembourg and internationally, Laura Thorn was crowned as the winner with her song “La Poupée Monte le Son“.

79 entries were submitted to the Luxembourgish broadcaster, out of which seven entries were advanced to the televised final following live auditions aiming for the Luxembourgish representation in Basel. The seven competing songs were revealed on December 19 and are the following:

  1. Rafa Ela – “No Thank You”
  2. Rhythmic Soulwave – ”Stronger”
  3. Luzac – “Je Danse”
  4. One Last Time – “Gambler’s Song”
  5. MÄNA – “Human Eyes”
  6. Laura Thorn – “La Poupée Monte le Son”
  7. ZERO POINT FIVE – “Ride”

Luxembourg Song Contest 2025 – in detail

Rafa Ela – “No Thank You”

What a wonderful start! An uptempo song with an energetic performance. Rafa Ela gives her all in her second LSC attempt. Graphics, choreography, vocals – all on point. Great effort!

Rhythmic Soulwave – ”Stronger”

A strong performance. Fantastic energy and vocals. The blue confetti that fell from the ceiling and the blue butterfly decorations on the lead singer’s black outfit that blended with the graphics was a great add-on.

Luzac – “Je Danse”

An energetic performance by Luzac. Well choreographed, cool graphics and it gave “Amazing” vibes by Danny Saucedo at times. However, we were not particularly convinced by Luzac’s vocals.

One Last Time – “Gambler’s Song”

ONL return to LSC for the second time and they can proudly say they have taken part in all LSC edition – hahaha. Cool graphics here as well and a good performance overall. Nice try!

MÄNA – “Human Eyes”

MÄNA is accompanied by four female vocalists and they are all dressed in white. A touching performance by MÄNA who sets her eyes on the Luxembourgish representation in Basel. Vocally she struggled at times but it was overall a beautiful performance.

Laura Thorn – “La Poupée Monte le Son”

It’s time for the big favorite of the night. A straightforward tribute to France Gall’s winning entry from 1965, the performance starts with images of Luxembourg’s first ever winner. Well choreographed, Laura acts like a marionette and vocally she excels it.

ZERO POINT FIVE – “Ride”

ZPF were the ones to close the show. The performance and the vibe scream country music and the band’s chemistry is obvious.

The voting process

A total of eight international juries along with an online vote decided in equal shares who would fly the Luxembourgish flag in Basel.

International juries

Jurors from The Netherlands, Poland, Ireland, Malta, Finland, Spain, Estonia and Switzerland casted their votes.

  1. Laura Thorn – 94 points
  2. Luzac – 62 points
  3. Rhythmic Soulwave – 52 points
  4. One Last Time – 40 points
  5. MÄNA – 36 points
  6. Rafa Ela – 36 points
  7. ZERO POINT FIVE – 16 points

Laura Thorn topped the international juries voting, having received the top mark from all juries except one (Estonia), while Luzac and Rhythmic Soulwave followed in the second and third place respectively.

Online voting
  1. ZERO POINT FIVE – 110 points
  2. Laura Thorn – 90 points
  3. One Last Time – 39 points
  4. Luzac – 31 points
  5. Rhythmic Soulwave – 29 points
  6. MÄNA – 20 points
  7. Rafa Ela – 17 points

Luxembourg: Betting Odds for the Luxembourg Song Contest 2025

/0 Comments/in , /by

Luxembourg is making a strong comeback to the Eurovision stage for the second consecutive year, with its national final drawing attention from fans and bookmakers alike. According to the latest odds, one clear favorite has emerged: Laura Thorn, who seems to stand out among her competitors.

Laura Thorn – “La poupée monte le son”

Winning Chance: 57%
Odds: 1.4
Laura Thorn is considered the frontrunner with her danceable and nostalgic track captivating both audiences and critics. Her song has garnered the most bets, suggesting she could be Luxembourg’s next Eurovision representative. The song makes a clear reference to Luxembourg’s classic Eurovision-winning entry from 1965, Poupée de cire, poupée de son.

Luzac – “Je danse”

Winning Chance: 22%
Odds: 3.7
A dynamic track with modern elements and an intense beat. Luzac holds the second position, with a solid chance of overtaking Laura Thorn. According to bookmakers, Luzac is her only real competitor.

Rafa Ela – “No Thank You”

Winning Chance: 10%
Odds: 8
Rafa Ela delivers a modern and unconventional pop song. While it isn’t favored by the bookmakers, the track has its own loyal following.

Rhythmic Soulwave – “Stronger”

Winning Chance: 4%
Odds: 18
This upbeat and optimistic entry, despite its high odds, hasn’t attracted significant support to challenge for the top spot.

Mäna – “Human Eyes”, One Last Time – “Gambler’s Song”, Zero Point Five – “Ride”

Winning Chance: 2% (each)
Odds: 35
While these artists bring interesting songs to the table, bookmakers don’t see them as strong contenders for victory.

What Will the Outcome Be?

Betting odds suggest that Laura Thorn has a clear lead, but nothing is certain until the final night. Live performances and the votes from the audience and jury will ultimately decide the winner.

As Luxembourg prepares to select its entry for Eurovision 2025, excitement is building, bringing fresh energy and high expectations. The Luxembourg Song Contest 2025 will take place on Saturday, January 25.

Who will ultimately carry the nation’s flag to Eurovision 2025? Stay tuned!
