Iceland: Tomorrow the announcement of whether Iceland will participate in Eurovision 2025!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Tomorrow, RÚV, the national broadcaster, will announce whether Iceland will participate in Eurovision in Basel next year. The Head of Delegation of Iceland said after this year’s competition that he expected Iceland to participate again next year, but nothing was set in stone.

There was great dissatisfaction among parts of the nation after Iceland’s participation in the competition this year. RÚV and other television stations were urged to withdraw from the competition because of Israel’s participation, and the EBU asked people to stop harassing contestants because of their participation.

Rúnar Freyr Gíslason said that the Israeli participation had a negative impact on the competition. It was not the unifying platform it should be. He said that he expects Iceland to participate again next year, but that has not been confirmed yet.

Rúnar said today in an interview with the news agency that the decision of RÚV on Iceland’s participation in Eurovision will be presented to the nation tomorrow. The format of the Söngvakeppnin will also be announced and presumably the dates for when artists can submit acts and more.

This year Iceland was represented for the second time by Hera Björk and the song “Scared of Heights” but failed to qualify for the final as it finished in 15th and last place of the first semi-final with just three points.

One of the names that seems to be preoccupying the Eurovision world in this new season that has started is that of Jojo Siwa and the possibility of her representing Poland at the 69th Eurovision Song Contest which is going to take place in Basel, Switzerland in May 2025 .

The American singer with Polish roots a few days ago through a post on her TikTok account expressed her interest in getting on the big stage of Eurovision. You can read more about this in our related article.

JoJo Siwa expresses interest to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest?

In a new post on TikTok on the occasion of her visit to Poland Jojo Siwa confirmed that she is in talks to represent the country in Eurovision 2025.

In particular, in her new post she states:

“Somebody asked if I was gonna do it on Eurovision because [the song] was going viral in Poland. I initially jokingly replied to the comment saying ‘Yes’, but now it’s actually become a real conversation. Eurovision’s into it. We’re talking with the people in Poland because each country essentially decides who goes to Eurovision to represent that country.”

“We have been talking with everybody, obviously there’s a lot that goes into it, there’s a lot of logistics.”

Moreover, she also mentions that during the period when the competition will be held in Switzerland, another project of hers will be running at the same time, but this does not seem to deter her as she comments that:

“I might be able to make both work if Poland wants me to do it. If Poland wants me to represent, I will be there. I will make it happen, 1000 per cent.”

Eurovision 2025: Céline Dion as a guest star is possible!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The appearance of the world-class Canadian singer Céline Dion is considered possible according to a person from the production of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025!

As per the Swiss newspaper Basler Zeitung the producers of Eurovision 2025 in Basel are flirting with the idea of ​​Céline Dion appearing as a guest on the stage of the contest.

In his statements, the co-producer of the competition Reto Peritz said:

“Of course this is an issue for us. Actually, we want to put talent in the foreground at the ESC and not let them overshadowed by world-famous stars. But of course, it also has its appeal to have such a name on the show.”

Céline Dion and Switzerland share a special story around the Eurovision Song Contest. She represented Switzerland in 1988 with “Ne partez pas sans moi” and won, bringing the competition the following year to the country and specifically to Lausanne.

However, when asked if Céline Dion herself has been asked about this particular appearance at Eurovision 2025, Mr Peritz did not elaborate.

Netta predicts the host city of Eurovision Song Contest 2025!

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

With only a few hours left until the announcement of the host city for Eurovision 2025, there is a tradition that has been built up over the last few years, and we couldn’t miss out.

We’re talking about Eurovision 2018 winner, Netta. Fans of the contest are now relying on her, to know which city won’t host the Contest, having predicted it wrong every time.

It is now a tradition to wait for Netta’s decision on the respective host city. Netta’s previous (wrong) predictions were:

  • For 2019 she predicted Jerusalem, in the end the host city was Tel Aviv
  • For 2021 she predicted Amsterdam, in the end the host city was Rotterdam
  • For 2022 she predicted Rome, in the end the host city was Turin
  • For 2023 she predicted Manchester, in the end the host city was Liverpool
  • For 2024 she predicted Stockholm, in the end the host city was Malmö

This year, a day before the official announcement, Netta posted a video announcing her prediction:

@netta This time I’m getting it right #eurovision ♬ original sound – Netta Barzilai

The two candidate cities are Geneva and Basel. With Netta choosing Geneva, it’s only natural that the Contest will take place in Basel. There are only a few hours left until the announcement, and let’s see if Netta guesses wrong for the sixth time!

It’s now official, Montenegro will return to Eurovision 2025 in Switzerland, and Vladana Vučinić, representative in 2022, made a few statements from her new role as Creative Director at RTCG, the country’s public television.

A few days ago, RTCG announced their plans for a new national final called “Montesong”, initially planed to take place before the new year. Regarding the return of the country, Vladana said:

“We are thrilled that Montenegro is returning to the Eurovision Song Contest in 2025. After several years of absence, this is a wonderful opportunity for us to showcase our country’s rich cultural diversity on the European stage. Our representative will be selected through a national competition called ‘Montesong’, which will be organised in collaboration with the Association of Performing Artists and Entertainers of Montenegro. This partnership is designed to encourage as many Montenegrin performers as possible to participate. Our goal is to promote new musical talents and reconnect with the wider European audience. We believe this will mark the beginning of a new and successful era for Montenegro at the Eurovision Song Contest.”

She also gave some more information regarding the highly anticipated national final:

“While composers can be from any country, the performers must be Montenegrin citizens. The lyrics of the songs must be written at least 51% in the official languages used in Montenegro. Composers are required to submit a final or high-quality demo recording of their song, up to three minutes in length, featuring the performer who will perform the song at the competition. The submission must include a five-digit code under which the composition will undergo the selection process. The deadline for submissions is October 1, 2024.”

Those interested can find more information on RTCG’s official website.

The last time Montenegro took part in Eurovision, was in 2022, when Vladana performed “Breathe” in Turin:
