Serbia: Konstrakta’s “In corpore sano” remains in Serbian For Eurovision!

Speaking to Blic yesterday after her triumph in Pesma za Evroviziju ’22!, Konstrakta confirmed that her song “In corpore sano” will remain in Serbian for the Eurovision Song Contest. Specifically, she says in the article that the song will remain in Serbian as when it was translated into English the lyrics no longer matched the rhythm of the song.

Konstrakta went on to add that the Serbian team is working to make sure the international audience understands the message of the song, explaining:

Whether it will be through subtitles, whether on those screens, we have to resolve this issue as we go along.

As for the direction of her performance, she is happy with the concept she presented at Pesma za Evroviziju’22:

We will stick to what has been set, it is quite well thought out and I think it works, there will be a change in the details, we are not going to change the concept. It is in our interest to make it look the best it can possibly be, because that is what our union is all about. There is no need to invent hot water.

Iceland: 4 out of 5 contestants will sing in Icelandic in the final!

According to an announcement by the Icelandic broadcaster, RUV, three of the five performers who qualified for the Söngvakeppnin final will perform their songs in Icelandic, both in the Icelandic final and at Eurovision, in case they win on Saturday.

Katla, Stefán Óli and sisters Sigga, Beta and Elín (who had not recorded an English version of their song anyway) chose to sing in Icelandic, as they did in the semifinals.

Reykjavíkurdætur, or Daugthers of Reykjavik, will perform the English version of their song, which also contains lyrics in Icelandic.

Who are Circus Mircus?

Circus Mircus is a Georgian progressive rock band consisting of Armenian drummer Bavonc Gevorcyan, Belgian vocalist and guitarist Igor Von Lichtenstein and Greek bassist and vocalist Damocles Stavriadis. The band plays mainly experimental music, mixing many genres, each of which represents a life experience and the “inner world” of each member. The band was formed in late 2020 in Tbilisi, when three graduates of the local circus academy became friends and left the academy to form their own band. According to one member of the group, the three of them, were probably the worst in the group, so they became friends.
