Manizha starts the act in an huge dress, and steps out of it. At the end, the background fills with a kind of Zoomsession, with, ofcourse…all (Russian?) women. They turn to the screen to show their respect. Manizha comes across as confident and vocally strong. In cooperation with Eurovision Artists Photo Credits: EBU
Ana Soklič is alone on stage, completely dressed in white. Behind her a kind of galaxy has been projected, stars and then the earth. Finally, there are several pictures of beautiful places on earth to see. Ana comes out alone from behind her microphone and walks a bit when the chorus starts. She sings the song cleanly. The sweat is on her forehead at the end of the effort. In cooperation with Eurovision Artists Photo Credits: EBU
All of Lithuania has turned yellow in recent days, from companies to statues. Naturally, the ladies and gentlemen of the Roop were also dressed in yellow during the first rehearsal. The act and stage did not differ much from the performance during the National final. The Roop looks confident and dynamic. In Cooperation with Eurovision Artists Photocredits: EBU
Today the rehearsals for the Eurovision Song Contest will start. Eurovision Universe will report on rehearsals, press conferences and all other matters concerning the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam, in close collaboration with eurovisionartists.nl. Keep an eye on our website, we will keep you informed throughout the day!
In a normal situation, the host city of the Eurovision Song Contest will have it’s Eurovision Village, where you can buy merchandise, food, and watch performances of (former) Eurovision participants. Due to COVID19, that is not possible in Rotterdam this year. However, there is an alternative, to enjoy for everybody: an online Eurovision Village!! Fans will be able to explore Rotterdam, meet its talented citizens, party surrounded by the Cube Houses or in the iconic Market Hall, and enjoy front-row seats for a live DJ Afrojack set. There will also be a special edition of the Dutch Junior Songfestival show for children, featuring winners of previous editions. People can enjoy artists such as Afrojack, who will also perform as an entre act this year, and mr. Eurovision Johnny Logan. The Eurovision Village will be hosted by Paul de Leeuw, who hosted the Dutch national final no less than 8 times. De Leeuw was also a 3-times Dutch commenter and spokesperson of the Dutch jury in 2006 and 2007. Martin Österdahl, executive supervisor of the contest, tells us: ‘We’re really excited that the City of Rotterdam is breaking new ground this year with the creation of a virtual Eurovision Village. Opening up this online space means Eurovision fans from across the world can all be in Rotterdam to share the fun and excitement as we bring the Eurovision Song Contest back. The village is a tribute to the creativity of the Host City and their motto ‘Make It Happen’. We might not be able to gather in person the way we are used to this year but the innovation shown by the City of Rotterdam means that we can unite even more people with music and entertainment in the true spirit of the Eurovision Song Contest.” The Eurovision Village can be found from 15 to 23 may at eurovisionvillage.com. Enjoy Rotterdam!
The Danish duo Fyr og Flamme, consisting of Jesper Groth and Laurits Emanuel, was the surprise of the Danish national final. The two rose to fame in 2020 with two hits. That was enough to be the favorite during the Danish preselection Melodi Grand Prix. Their song “Øve os på hinande” therefore won. It is the first time since 1998 that a Eurovision song is sung entirely in Danish.
So far, the official video of the Australian entry, supported by eurovision.tv, is a performance of Montaigne at Mardi Grass. However, today Montaigne released a new video of “Technicolour”. Montaigne will not be able to attend the Eurovision Song Contest in person as she can not travel to Rotterdam. Therefore, the prerecorded performance Australia submitted to the EBU will be used.
The Swiss contestant Gjon’s Tears is actually called Gjon Muharremaj. He is a Kosovar Albanian, but born in Friborg, Switzerland. When he was 12 he took part in Albanians Got Talent, a year later in the show’s Swiss sister. In 2019 he participated in The Voice. Gjon’s Tears would participate in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2020 with “Répondez-moi”. The Swiss broadcaster again chose Gjon’s Tears in 2021. Dutchman Wouter Hardy, jointly responsible for “Arcade” in 2019, co-wrote the song “Tout l’Univers”.
Samanta Tīna had already taken part in the Latvian preselections five times, and she tried once in Lithuania. In 2020, her persistence finally seemed to be rewarded. We all know how that turned out. Anyone who sees the video of “I’m still breathing” will be amazed: with background singers with splash screens, Samanta seemed to know what was going to happen in the near future.Unlike many other countries, Latvia did not have a national final for 2021 and gave Samanta Tīna carte blanche to submit a song. That will be “The moon is rising”.
Blind Channel is the band that represents Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest. The band has been active since 2013 and has now released three albums. Of the many singles they released, none of them became a hit so far. That changed after they won the Finnish preselection for the Eurovision Song Contest with “Dark side”: rightaway the group was at 1. Angry metal fans stated that the music of Blind Channel is absolutely not metal. Okay…. photo credits: Stefan Bollmann, Wikimedia Commons
