When the Eurovision song contest was canceled last year, Bulgaria was number 1 at the bookmakers. Victoria Georgieva seemed to be heading for the first Bulgarian victory with “Tears getting sober”. It was not going to happen, but the Bulgarians were of course happy to work with this former X-Factor participant for another year. The audience was allowed to choose one out of five songs. It became this “Growing up is getting old”. photo credits: © Lora Musheva
The Black Mamba’s musical career began in May 2010. Their first album was immediately quite successful in Portugal. Four years after the first album was released, a second followed, and a third in 2018. During its promotional tour, the group performed in Amsterdam, where they met an old lady who told them about her difficult life but said that “love was always by her side”. This saying inspired Pedro Tatanka to the song “Love Is on My Side” with which they will now participate in the Eurovision Song Contest. photo: instagram
The Eurovision Song Contest next month in Rotterdam can be attended as planned. In principle, the government already gave green light at the beginning of this month, but kept a close eye on it because it was uncertain how the number of infections would develop. It has now been agreed that the Fieldlab experiment can continue. All spectators must demonstrate that they tested negative less than 24 hours ago. They are also asked whether they would like to have themselves tested again five days after the event. On the way to their seat and to the toilet, visitors must wear a mouth mask.

Ministers Slob and Van Engelshoven (Education, Culture & Science), De Jonge (Public Health), Grapperhaus (Justice and Security) may discuss this tomorrow.The Eurovision Song Contest with an audience would be an experiment by the Fieldlab organization, which investigates how events can still take place despite COVID19. However, the government has decided that when the number of IC beds in uses in the Netherlands exceeds 900, the Fieldlab events will be canceled. Currently 812 IC beds are in use.In an interview with RTL Boulevard, presenter Chantal Janzen says that safety and health comes first as far as she is concerned. “For those 3500 people, for the fans, I hope it continues. But not for us, the presenters. We will make a great show anyway.” source: RTL Boulevard
The Serbian trio Hurricane consists of Sanja Vučić, Ivana Nikolić and Ksenija Knežević. Sanja also participated in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2016, but then solo. Ksenija’s father Knez represented Montenegro. They have been working together as Hurricane since November 2017. They have released many singles so far. In 2020 they won the Serbian national final with “Hasta la vista”. The Serbian broadcaster asked the group again for the Eurovision song contest in 2021 . Their entry “Loco loco” was also their first big hit in Serbia.
As early as 2017, Daði Freyr took part in Söngvakeppnin, the Icelandic heat of the Eurovision Song Contest. And even then he wore his signature green sweater. In 2020 he won the national final. Hardly anything else could happen, because the clip of his song “Think about things” had gone viral worldwide. After the Eurovision song contest was canceled, a number of alternative contests were held online. Almost all of them selected Iceland as the winner.There was some uncertainty as to whether Daði og Gagnamagnið would participate again: in the end they said yes and came up with this song, “10 years”, which Daði wrote about the 10-year anniversary with his wife.
Natalia Gordienko was already at the Eurovision stage in 2006, with Arsenium and Connect-R. “Loca” was not a big success. She tried her luck later in a talent show as a DJ. She also released 2 albums and several singles. Last year she won the Moldovan selection for the Eurovision Song Contest with the song “Prison”. This year she can take her second chance with the song “Sugar”. Both songs are written by the so-called Dream Team: Dimitris Kontopoulos, Philipp Kirkorov and lyricist Sharon Vaughan.
Rumour has it that Lady Gaga is going to appear in the Eurovision Song Contest. That appears not to be true. Sietse Bakker, executive producer of the Eurovision Song Contest, has responded on the rumour. Via Twitter, he said: “Not that I know of”. And believe us, nothing is going to happen in the Eurovision Song Contest without Sietse Bakker knowing about it. Also NPO denies Gaga’s participation. The rumour came into the world when suddenly google mentioned Rotterdam, may 22 as a performance date of Lady Gaga. As google generates this thing automatically, it is a big questionmark how it came into the list of performances. Dutch journalist Richard van de Crommert remembered that in his podcast, his guest stylist Diek Pothoven said that the outfit he was most proud of, was the one of the not yet mentioned performer. Lady Gaga maybe, van de Crommert must have thought. However, Lady Gaga’s performance would go straight into everything Dutch organizers NPO, NOS and AVROTROS had mentioned. The performers during the contest will be former Eurovision Stars and Dutch artists. Recently, it became known that the final will take much shorter than the one in Tel Aviv, where Madonna’s performance took a lot of time.
Actually, Rafał Brzozowski was destined to start a sports career, as a wrestler. However, an injury put an end to that. In 2011 he reached the final of The Voice Of Poland. He released five albums. In 2017 he just barely won the national final for the Eurovision Song Contest. This year, he didn’t have to struggle through a preselection. Polish broadcaster TVP appointed him to represent Poland. His song is called “The ride”.
