Also host country The Netherlands presented it’s entry tonight. The song is called “Birth of a new age” and is written by the singer Jeangu Macrooy himself in collaboration with Pieter Perquin, aka Perquisite.
It was supposed to be happening tonight at 20:00, but the song leaked before that: “Amnesia”, the song Roxen is going to sing in the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest. The song is written and composed by Adelina Stinga and Victor Bourosu. Roxen will perform in the first semifinal. Roxen was chosen to represent Romania in the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest. Her song was “Alcohol you”. We all know why it didn’t happen.
Hooverphonic presented its Eurovision Song this morning. The song will be called “The wrong place”. Last year, Hooverphonic was already supposed to represent Belgium, but we all know why that didn’t happen. The group had the song “Release me” ready for Rotterdam. But another thing happened for the group: they decided to replace singer Luca Kruysberghs for Geike Arnaert. Geike had been the Hooverphonic singer from 1997 until 2008.
Photo: Rotterdam Ahoy – https://www.ahoy.nl/ Earlier today it was released that the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and Dutch organizing broadcasters NPO, NOS and AVROTROS have published an extensive Covid-19 Health and Safety Protocol for the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest. Everyone accredited to the event (those working on or competing) will have to live up to this protocol, creating the base for a Eurovision Song Contest where every artist can perform in Rotterdam Ahoy. “The spirit and tradition of the Eurovision Song Contest is about uniting Europe on one stage and we are very much still determined to achieve this in Rotterdam in May”, says Executive Supervisor Martin Österdahl. The most important measures in the protocol are: Everyone must keep 1,5 metres distance with one another All those attending the Eurovision Song Contest from abroad are recommended to go into quarantine for 5 days before departure to the Netherlands and they must test negative for COVID-19 at most 72 hours before they fly. Delegations have to stay in their hotel. They can only go outside the hotel for programme related activities, such as rehearsals and ofcourse the live shows. Everyone working in the Ahoy Arena, like crew, artists and press, will be tested regularly in a special testing facility next to the arena. Face masks are mandatory, except for, amongst others, the live performances. As earlier released, for every performance, a backup recording will be made in the respective home country before the contest. In the case an artist is unable to perform live, due to a positive Covid-19 test, this backup recording will be aired during the live show. The decision on whether a scaled down live audience will be able to be attending the live shows and on what public activities can take place around the event will be made later in the coming months.
