As the 22nd edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest draws near, the excitement is building. Young artists from seventeen countries have gathered in Madrid, preparing to perform live in front of millions of viewers from across Europe and beyond.

These talented artists have been working hard for months in anticipation of this moment, and they are now ready to “bloom” with half of them having completed their first technical rehearsals at Caja Mágica. Today, artists from the following nine countries took the stage of Caja Mágica:

• Georgia
• Cyprus
• Italy
• Albania
• Ukraine
• Estonia
• Armenia
• North Macedonia
• Spain

The First Rehearsals

In line with the tradition of the adult Eurovision Song Contest, the first rehearsals were closed to the press. As a result, no journalists were allowed to watch the rehearsal sessions, and there were no official rehearsal clips shared by RTVE. This means that, for now, there is no audiovisual footage available to fans, but the official social media channels of Junior Eurovision have shared a few photos offering a sneak peek behind the scenes.

Georgia – Andria Putkaradze

 

Cyprus – Maria Pissarides

Italy – Simone Grande

 

Albania – Nikol Çabeli

 

Ukraine – Artem Kotenko

 

Estonia – Annabelle

 

Armenia – Leo

North Macedonia – Ana and Aleksej

 

Spain – Chloe DelaRosa

What’s next?

Tomorrow, the remaining eight countries will rehearse at the stage of Caja Mágica. After the First Rehearsals, the Second Rehearsals will follow. These rehearsals give the artists a final opportunity to perfect their acts before the Dress Rehearsals. Any last-minute changes to the performances can be made during this time.

It is expected that the voting recap video, which will be shown before the live show, will also be filmed during these second rehearsals.

On Friday, November 15, the two Dress Rehearsals will be held. The Dress Rehearsals are full run-throughs of the show from start to finish, including the performances, interval acts, and voting sequence.

Then and it is time for Dress Rehearsals. The First Dress Rehearsal will take place on Friday morning, while the Second Dress Rehearsal will take place in the evening. The Second Dress Rehearsal is particularly important as it is also the Jury Final. This is when the seventeen national juries will watch the full show and cast their votes, which will help determine the final outcome of the competition.

Moreover, on Friday the first phase of the Online Voting will commence and the half of the contest’s outcome will be determined.
