In our previous article, we mentioned that Azerbaijan will choose its participation for the 68th Eurovision Song Contest with an internal selection, through the “Live Auditions” process.

As is known, the submission process turned out to be successful enough, as İTV announced that 214 entries were submitted in total with 16 artists qualifying for the final stage. According to the national broadcaster, the process is still in full swing, with the Live Auditions underway.

Among the final contestants, there is a old acquaintance of the contest which is Aisel, who represnted the country at Eurovision 2018 in Lisbon, with the song “X My Heart“.

Aisel who had failed to qualify for the Grand Final, finishing 11th at the First Semi-Final, stated that she was not satisfied with her participation back in 2018, returns to pay off the score.

The sixteen artists from the “Live Auditions“ are:

  • Emy Lia
  • Tofiq Hacıyev & Camal Qurbanov
  • Aisel
  • Rilaya
  • Mari
  • İlkin Dövlətov & Mila Miles & Etibar Əsədli
  • Sabina Beyli

  • Fahree

Finally, among the jury members are Aysel Teymurzadə (Azerbaijan 2009) and Eldar Qasımov & Nigar Camal (Azerbaijan 2011).

Although, it has not been made completely clear the closed selection process that is being condected, it appears from the reel that the national broadcaster post in its social media. İTV aims to test the vocal and the performance skills of every candidate. The candidate who has the best song and can deliver both conditions, will be the one to represent the country to Malmö.

This year, Azerbaijan failed to qualify for the Grand Final for the second time in its short history in Eurovision Song Contest. The sibling duo TuralTuranX with their song “Tell Me More” managed to finish second to last in their Semi-Final.
