Sertab Erener’s reaction to Israel’s participation in Eurovision 2024

/1 Comment/in , , , , /by

Videos with reactions, as well as statements by Sertab Erener in this year’s participation of Israel – Hurricane with Eden Golan, have been circulating in the last few hours on the internet. The only winner of the competition for Turkey, condemned the participation of Israel, and with her grimaces, when Eden Golan performed her song on the stage of the contest, she showed her emotions.

The first excerpt is from the second semi-final, in which Israel also participated and in which Sertab Erener appeared as a guest, along with Elena Paparizou and Charlotte Perelli. Sertab Erener while preparing for her own performance in the dressing room, listens to Eden Golan perform Hurricane and her expressions are indicative of her feelings.

The second video is from the final. Sertab is watching the contest and at the time of the Israeli participation, she says to the camera that she is completely opposed to the presence of Israel in Eurovision 2025.

The above does not make any impression, since the Turkish government, but also to an overwhelming extent the Turkish society, is in favor even of the terrorist organization Hamas, many of its members, have found safe haven in Turkey. Israel in the previous decades was one of the closest allies with Turkey. However, in recent years and especially since Tayyip Erdoğan has taken over the government of the country, the two countries have drifted far apart, with Israel now having allied relations with Greece and Turkey considering itself the protector of Gaza, but and the terrorists operating there.

Eurovision 2024: More interval acts were announced!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Today, Swedish broadcaster SVT named two of the interval acts that viewers can look forward to enjoying during the two Semi-Finals of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. And it’s an all-star line up of past Eurovision performers that will be returning to the stage.

In the First Semi-Final, Benjamin Ingrosso will give us a show-stopping medley featuring just some of the songs he’s recently performed across Europe as part of his Better Days Tour.

In the Second Semi-Final, the audience will have the opportunity to participate in the world’s biggest sing along, together with three iconic Eurovision queens – Helena Paparizou, Sertab Erener and Charlotte Perrelli.

Benjamin Ingrosso

Back in 2018, Benjamin Ingrosso got the honour of representing Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest with Dance You Off. The song gave Sweden an impressive Top 10 finish in the Grand Final.

Since then, the artist has gone on to achieve three number 1 albums in his home country, and has also won multiple Grammy Awards, including one for Artist of the Year in 2022. In 2024, Benjamin scored his first number 1 on the Swedish singles chart with his song Kite. And also this year, Benjamin has recently wrapped his very first European tour, the Better Days Tour.

Benjamin Ingrosso will head to Malmö to give the audience and viewers a spectacular interval act in the First Semi-Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024. He is going to treat us to an extra-special medley that is guaranteed to set Malmö Arena in musical motion!

On his forthcoming appearance at the First Semi-Final, Benjamin Ingrosso says:

“After I got to represent Sweden at Eurovision in 2018, it now feels great to be able to show the audience who I am today. It has been fantastic to meet all the fans on my tour in Europe during the spring and now I hope that the Eurovision audience will love this show as much as I do”

Malmö Arena will be rocked, Benjamin-style, when a total of 21 people take to the stage in a super medley. Together with the band, the dancers, the lights, the image production and specially constructed videos in the background, Benjamin has planned a television number of the highest international class.

Sing-Along with Helena Paparizou, Sertab Erener and Charlotte Perrelli

The Eurovision Song Contest is set to stage the world’s biggest sing along – with some of the world’s most beloved Eurovision queens!

For the first time ever in the Eurovision Song Contest, at the Second Semi-Final the audience in the arena and at home will be invited to take part in a sing-along. Anyone who wants to can therefore be part of the Semi-Final interval performance remotely, via an interactive TV wall. To participate, you can check the Eurovision Song Contest’s official social channels, where all the instructions will be given closer to the time.

During the sing-along, audiences will be invited to sing classic songs from the Eurovision Song Contest’s history, together with three of its most popular past winners.

We’ll have Swedish born Greek Helena Paparizou, who won for Greence in 2005 with My Number One; Turkish superstar Sertab Erener, who gave Türkiye its first victory in 2003 with Everyway That I Can; and Sweden’s very own Charlotte Perrelli, who is celebrating the 25th anniversary of her win in 1999 with Take Me To Your Heaven.

Helena Paparizou is enthusiastic about her return to the Eurovision Song Contest, almost 20 years after her win:

“I am more than happy to be back on the Eurovision stage after so many years. Malmö…here I come! Are you ready to sing along with me?”

/1 Comment/in , /by

Sertab Erener held a concert in Istanbul where she performed, among her other songs, her entry from Eurovision Song Contest 2003 with which she was crowned as the winner for that edition, “Everyway That I Can“. After her performance, she revealed that she will appear at the Contest in Malmö and she will sing her winning song, accompanied by a choir.

As Sertab mentioned, her goal is to bring as many people as possible together, in one big choir, as everyone can participate from their home and the result will be shown on a LED screen at the night of the event. Three other artists will also make a comeback at the upcoming Eurovision, who are yet to be unveiled, and Sertab will appear last on stage.

Furthermore, the 2003 Eurovision winner announced that she has been preparing a ballad version of “Everyway That I Can” alongside Sena Şener and we will get to listen to it around May.
