Monaco: The reasons behind Eurovision 2024 non-participation

/0 Comments/in , /by

After a few years, Monaco’s right to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest was restored following the official debut of TVMonaco, the microstate’s new public broadcaster.

This has given rise to several speculations regarding Monaco’s potential comeback to the competition. However, these rumors were refuted, when it was revealed last month that Monaco will not be competing in Eurovision 2024.

Frédéric Cauderlier, the head editor of TVMonaco, explained the reasons behind Monaco’s non-participation in an interview with L’Observateur.

“The deadlines are too tight for registrations. Additionally, at this point in time, the channel’s launch prevents us from immediately focusing on this project”.

Monaco last participated in Eurovision in 2006, and has one win, in 1981, with Séverine’s “Un banc, un arbre, une rue”. Would you like to see Monaco return to the competition?

Israel: Is Rising Star being postponed indefinitely?

/0 Comments/in /by

Israel’s Home Front Command reportedly ordered the filming of the television program Rising Star, via which the country’s representative for Eurovision 2024 was anticipated to be picked, to be put off indefinitely.

The aforementioned event, which is connected to the most recent escalation of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine and the accompanying declaration of war last Saturday, was of course anticipated.

Rising Star was slated to start filming this week, with broadcasts beginning on November 12. However, the current circumstances prevent this.The question is whether Israel will choose its entry internally or decide to withdraw from the forthcoming competition in the event that this report has been confirmed and Rising Star does not move forward.

The Israeli representative was chosen using the Rising Star method from 2015 through 2021. This process also resulted in the selection of Netta, the 2018 Eurovision winner.

Israel was represented this year by Noa Kirel, one of the most popular performers in the country, whose song “Unicorn” came in third place in the competition.

Norway’s HoD predicts that Auto-Tune will soon be allowed in Eurovision!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Stig Karlsen, the head of the Norwegian delegation, stated in an interview with the “Euro Trip Podcast” that Auto-Tune would unavoidably be incorporated into Eurovision in the upcoming years.

This regulation was first put into effect for Melodi Grand Prix 2023, the national final through which Norway’s participation in Liverpool came about.

More specifically, he stated:

“I think it’s misunderstood and I think Eurovision will have to do it because the music industry will demand it”.

“The public think about Auto-Tune as making people who can’t sing into pop stars. That’s what you can do if you’re in a studio environment. If you’re putting someone on stage and you ask them to sing live you can’t make that person a great singer if they’re not”.

“The Auto-Tune used in MGP is optimising the sound… making it sound like a professional product like every other television show in the world”.

 

 

Do you support the inclusion of Auto-Tune in the Eurovision Song Contest?

/0 Comments/in , /by

The deadline for submitting applications for “Das Deutsche Finale 2024”, the national competition through which the country’s representative for the upcoming Eurovision contest will be chosen, has been extended, according to an official announcement from Germany’s public broadcaster NDR. Consequently, prospective artists now have until October 15 to submit their suggestions as opposed to the initial deadline of October 5.

The rest of the rules, which are covered in our pertinent article, remain unchanged.

Furthermore, the first potential artists have been revealed:

Melissa Mantzoukis

Greek-German singer Melissa Mantzoukis, gained popularity in Germany as a result of her participation in Idol 2022. She attempted to represent Greece in the contest this year with the song “Liar,” which she did not manage to do, despite receiving a strong first-place rating from the audience committee of 70 people. The song that she submitted to NDR, based on what we know, has nothing to do with her participation this year.

ALLY

Allison Bonnefoy, better known as Ally, has already tried her hand at the Eurovision stage, through her participation in the Austrian national final in 2015. Her most recent works are electronic in nature, such as “Humanity,” which is also one of her entries for “Das Deutsche Finale 2024”.

Apollson

Apollson is a rising star in the German music industry who has found considerable success on streaming services. In a video posted on TikTok a few days ago, he expressed interest in participating in this year’s German selection process by using the hashtag #EurovisionGermany2024.

Florian Suerie / ARTISTWITHOUTANAME

Florian Suerie recently announced his interest in entering the competition by sharing an acoustic version of his potential proposal on his personal Facebook page. The song has currently been recorded in both English and German, but it has not yet been released in its final form.


Spielhagen

The 14-member choir Spielhagen has taken the tagline “Club meets Choir” and specializes in performing disco music. The song “Love On The Dancefloor (Oh Lala Love)” was recorded by six of them and serves as their proposal for “Das Deutsche Finale 2024”.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The national broadcaster of Austria, ORF, is expected to announce in December the artist who will represent the central-european country in the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden.

ORF’s scout Eberhard Forcher posted yesterday the below comment:

“The day before yesterday was the deadline for submissions to the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. WOW ! Unbelievable, how many great songs have come in the last few weeks. Over 60 ! Most of them are still active scouting . Peter Schreiber and my smallness have been on broadband since June probing & motivating . . . . Now the editors will invite the 15 (?) best acts to the ORF Zemntrum for video casting. The clips will then be released to the juries and the ORF will announce its choice in December at the latest. The idea of the planned public voting cannot be implemented this year for legal reasons. So much for that !”

This year Austria was represented in Liverpool by Teya and Salena with the song “Who the Hell Is Edgar?”. They qualified from the 2nd place of the Second Semi-Final, and finished in 15ht place of the Grand Final with 120 points.
