For a long time, Russia was very secretive about the submission. In the end, Manizha’s “Russian woman” was chosen from a preliminary round with three songs. Manizha was born in Tajikistan but soon moved to Moscow. In addition to making music, she draws attention to feminism, LGBTI + rights and domestic violence. It meant that not everyone in Russia was happy with her selection.
Ana Soklič has been active as a singer since 2004. Initially she was performing under the flag of the project Diona Dimm. She also participated in EMA, the Slovenian preselection for the Eurovision Song Contest. In 2020 she had a final breakthrough in her own country. With her song “Voda” she was chosen to represent her country at the contest in Rotterdam. When ESC was canceled, the Slovenian broadcaster soon announced that it had renewed confidence in Ana. This year she brings the song “Amen”.
The Roop is a three-man band from the Lithuanian capital Vilnius. They had previously participated in the Lithuanian preselection for the Eurovision Song Contest. Last year they won “Pabandom iš naujo!“. Their song “On fire” was one of the songs to beat in the international final, but unfortunately the party was canceled due to the cancellation of the contest itself. This year’s Lithuanian preselection was a sham: no one expected a winner other than The Roop. It is likely that more than only the three band members will be on stage in Rotterdam. We will wait and see if the yellow remains or not… photo: instagram
James Newman was supposed to represent the United Kingdom last year with the song “My last breath”. The BBC was silent for a long time, but eventually announced that he will represent the UK with “Embers” this year. At that time Newman had already had a big international hit with “Therapy”, a song by Armin van Buuren on which Newman provided the vocals. James is also the older brother of John Newman, for whom he also wrote songs. He also did that for Rudimental, Calvin Harris, Little Mix and the Backstreet Boys, among others. So it is not exactly a ‘nobody’ who represents the UK.

Blas Cantó once participated in the preselection of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. But for that we have to go back in time 17 years. Later he ended up in a real boy band, Auryn. Also with Auryn he did an attempt for Eurovision participation. In 2017 Blas Cantó started a solo career. His debut album reached the top spot in the charts. A logical choice for the Eurovision Song Contest 2020. Unfortunately it did not happen with “Universo”. Spain soon expressed renewed confidence in Blas Cantó, and this year he sings “Voy a quedarme”.
