Luxembourg: Commentators for RTL and spokesperson unveiled!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

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.

As Tali confirmed a few weeks ago, her Eurovision entry will go undergo a revamp. Now and as she mentioned via an Instagram post of hers, the revamped version of “Fighter” will be released on March 29th.

Tali’s creative team for Malmö

German Nenov will take over as Creative Director of Tali’s “Fighter” for the Eurovision stage.

Referring to her performance in Eurovision, Tali mentioned speaking in “Tageblatt” that:

Everything is going to change, which is really exciting. The wardrobe is changed, as is the staging. The basic concept remains the same, there will still be dancers, it will still be powerful, but other than that it won’t be the same performance. I can’t really reveal much yet, but there will also be changes in the production of the actual song. We will re-release the song to make it even better. However, the old version remains.

Aiming for a top-ten finish, Luxembourg with Tali and “Fighter” is allocated to perform in the second half of the first semi-final on May 7.

A top ten finish is Tali’s goal

Considering the big return of Luxembourg in Eurovision, the expectations are high for the Duchy’s delegation. Certainly, the pressure is high for Tali and her team and a realistic goal of achieving a top ten result would be essential.

I really want Luxembourg to make it to the final. But it will be a tough semi-final. The best performance will qualify and I hope mine will be there. If I reach the final, I would of course be very happy. If we get into the top 15 or even top 10 that would be great. I’m optimistic, but I’m also a realist. I’ll just do my best and see what happens.

Luxembourg: With a budget of more than a million euros to Eurovision 2024!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is officially back to Eurovision. Following the conclusion of Luxembourg Song Contest, the country’s national selection for Eurovision 2024, Tali emerged as the first Luxemourgish entrant in Eurovision in thirty-one years with her song “Fighter“. Luxembourg’s return was expected to be glamorous and spectacular and last week’s show was just a glimpse of how important Eurovision remains to the country.

The interest and the high expectations of Luxembourg for Eurovision 2024 are also depicted to their Eurovision budget. Apparently, a budget of 1.1 million euros was spent on Luxembourg Song Contest, while part of this budget will be used for promotion and to cover travel costs to Malmö.

It is worth noticing that RTL, the Luxembourgish participating broadcaster, will not make any profit from Eurovision. Instead, the estimated profit of 125 thousand euros will be kept and reinvested in the Luxembourg Song Contest next year.

Luxembourg Song Contest 2024

Among eight participants, Tali was crowned as the selection’s winner with her entry “Fighter“. An international jury, which consisted members from eight countries, along with the public’s vote which was open also for people outside the country, decided the first Luxembourgish representative in thirty-one years. Luxembourg is allocated to perform at the second half of the first semi-final on May 7.

Luxembourg: Tonight the final of the Luxembourg Song Contest 2024!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Luxembourg, one of the most successful countries in Eurovision history, is making a comeback to the Eurovision Song Contest after a hiatus since 1993. With a desire to reclaim its glory and eyeing a sixth victory, Luxembourg is set to choose its representative for Malmo tonight through the Luxembourg Song Contest 2024.

Selection Process

After months of meticulous planning, Luxembourg’s Eurovision delegation organizers opted for a unique and thorough selection process. A panel of five international experts was entrusted with the task of deciding which songs would participate in tonight’s Luxembourg Song Contest 2024.

The inclusion of this “external” factor served as a safeguard to ensure objectivity, a critical element for a small nation like Luxembourg. The international committee comprised five distinguished members, each with substantial experience in the Eurovision realm:

  1. Christer Björkmann: Renowned Swedish producer, TV host, and former Eurovision participant (Sweden 1992). Björkmann, a pivotal figure in Eurovision, has also served as Head of Delegation for Sweden, produced the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013 and 2015, and was involved in the unique American Song Contest in 2022.
  2. Jan Bors: Former Head of Delegation for the Czech Republic.
  3. Cesár Sampson: Represented Austria in Eurovision 2018, securing the first place in the jury vote. Sampson is also playing an active role in the Czech Republic’s national selection this year as the artistic director and presenter.
  4. Alex Panagi: Eurovision authority and two-time representative for Cyprus (1995 and 2000). Panagi, in recent years, has taken on roles as a Vocal Coach for various Eurovision participants and contributed vocally to Elena Paparizou’s performance in 2005.
  5. Tali Eshkoli: Israeli TV producer, involved in the production of Eurovision 2019 and the organization of the Miss Universe competition in 2021. Eshkoli has also been a jury member in national selections of various countries over the years.

The Finalists

Eight artists will compete tonight for the honor of representing Luxembourg at Eurovision 2024 in Malmo, Sweden. The talented finalists are:

  1. Angy & Rafa Ela – “Drop”
  2. CHAiLD – “Hold On”
  3. EDSUN – “Finally Alive”
  4. Joel Marques – “Believer”
  5. Krick – “Drowning in the rain”
  6. Naomi Ayé – “Paumée sur terre”
  7. One Last Time – “Devil in the Detail”
  8. TALI – “Fighter”

Voting Process

The winner will be decided through a 50-50 split, with 50% coming from the jury’s vote and the remaining 50% from the audience. Specifics include:

  • The jury, contributing 50% to the result, comprises representatives from eight countries, with five members from each country.
  • The audience voting is open not only to the local audience but also to the international audience, giving everyone a say in who will represent the Grand Duchy at Eurovision 2024.

The Luxembourg Song Contest 2024 will be hosted by Désirée Nosbusch, Melody Funck, Raoul Roos, and Loïc Juchem. You can catch the grand final at 20:00 CET through the official website of Luxembourg’s public television by clicking here.

  • The audience voting will be open not only for Luxembourgish people, but the international audience will also have a say on who the Luxembourgish representative in Eurovision 2024 will be.

How will the international voting take place?

The public voting will take place online via a direct link on RTL website on Saturday. Voters will be able to vote on a specific voting platform, which will open during two time slots, each lasting a minimum of 15 minutes, as announced by the presenters during the live show.
