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: Vicky Leandros as a guest in Luxembourg Song Contest 2024!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

One of the most prominent Greek singers, Vicky Leandros, is going to make a guest appearance at Luxembourg Song Contest 2024, the national final show of the country for Eurovision 2024 in Malmö, Sweden.

It was revealed by the very same Vicky Leandros in an exclusive interview on Songfestival.be, but it was confirmed a few minutes ago, by RTL, the public broadcaster of the country.

Vicky Leandros is the first Greek singer who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1972 representing Luxembourg with the song “Après toi” receiving 128 points in total.

She went also to comment on the return of the Duchy to the contest:

“I think it’s great that Luxembourg is back. I think joining will do a lot more for you as a country than sending your cat.”

Vicky Leandros is of course also a very big star in Germany. In 2006, she also took part in the German national process for the Eurovision Song Contest in Athens, while she did not avoid to comment on the country’s failed attempts at the Contest.

“Germany just needs better songs. That’s where it all starts. This should not be so difficult, because Germany has many talented songwriters. The Eurovision Song Contest was very important to me. You should not see participation as some kind of risk. If you’re good and have the right personality, you can’t lose. People get to know you and you’re building a career”
