Today we have watched another 9 first rehearsals at Day 3. In our opinion Greece, Iceland and Austria impressed the most, all in a completely different way. Greece because of the graphics, Austria because of the vocals, and Iceland because of the typical but outstanding performance. Most dissapointing rehearsals: Estonia and Poland; bad act, bad vocals. San Marino, Czech Republic and Moldova had a steady first rehearsal. And Serbia surprised us…
Destiny appears onstage in a pink outfit, just like her dancers. Destiny lives up to all expectations vocally. “Je me casse” is a swinging, dynamic song, but as yet they don’t know how to convey the dynamics. It must now be said that both the favorites of 2018 (Netta) and 2019 (Duncan) did not impress at all during their first rehearsal, and we all know how that ended.

Go_A appears on stage with singer Kateryna Pavlenko in a greenish robe and the men, both the two musicians and the dancers, in white. The dancers have a kind of luminous halo that they keep behind their heads. They are in the middle of what most resembles a forest after an atomic eruption. There are many and intense visuals. Towards the end we see people who seem to be on the run from something. Vocally (whether you like her voice or not) this performance was fine.

Tonight is the night for Slovenia: Ana Soklič will reveal her song for the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest in a show called EMA 2021. It will be broadcast at 20:00 CET and you can watch it here. In other years, EMA was the national final in which the Slovenian entry for the contest was chosen. This year, it will be different. One of the main reasons is that Slovenian TV-station RTVSLO decided to select Ana Soklič for the contest. She was supposed to represent her country in the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest. Another important reason is that this year, it’s 60 years ago that for the first time, a Slovenian entry joined the Eurovision stage. By then, Slovenia was a part of Yugoslavia. Ljiljana Petrović, a Serbian singer, won the Yugoslav preselection on behalve of RTV Ljubljana. The famous Slovenian composer Jože Privšek composed the entry “Neke davne zvezde”. EMA 2021 will be a tribute to 60 years of Slovenia in Eurovision.
Today, exactly 13 years ago, it was a very sad day for North-Macedonia. One of the most popular singers from this country, Toše Proeski, died in a car accident.Proeski rose to fame in 1997 when he participated in the national festival Makfest with the song “Pušti me”. He took part in several contests after this, both in North-Macedonia and abroad. In 2003 Proeski won Beovizija. In that year, Serbia and Montenegro was not allowed to take part in Eurovision; in later years, Beovizija became the national selection for the contest. One year later, North-Macedonia selected Toše Proeski to represent the country in the Eurovision Song Contest with his song “Angel si ti”, Which was sung in English during the contest as “Life”. The song reached the final and became 14th there. When Toše Proeski died, the day of his funeral became a national day of mourning in North-Macedonia. And still, he is a hero in his country and abroad. Let us never forget Toše Proeski. photo: Danny Mekic, Wikimedia Commons

It was supposed to be held this year in Ahoy in Rotterdam. Due to the Corona crisis, the contest had to be cancelled. We of Eurovision Universe are happy and delighted that we can now look forward to a great Eurovision Song Contest 2021.
Photo: Jeroen ‘t Hart Today is the day the council of Rotterdam had to agree being host city for the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest. And they did! From all the 41 councilors voting, 33 agreed with this. Apart from the money the city of Rotterdam already spent on the contest, it will cost 6,7 million euros extra. Mayor Aboutaleb and the city council members requested to do so. Today the decision is made: they will. Of course we do not know how the Covid-19 crisis will develop, but the will to organize the contest is there!
Victoria Georgieva, the singer who will represent Bulgaria in the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam, has presented her entry. The song, a ballad, is called “Tears getting sober”. Music and lyrics are by Victoria herself, Borislav Milanov, Lukas Oscar and Cornelia Wiebols. Milanov also wrote the German entry, and was responsible for three previous Bulgarian entries: for Poli Genova (2016), Kristian Kostov (2017) and EQUINOX (2018)
Tomorrow, Melodi Grand Prix, the Danish final for the Eurovision Song Contest will be held. However, due to the corona virus, prime minister Mette Frederiksen adviced cancellation for events with an expected audience of more than 1000 people, or having the event without audience. DR (Danmarks Radio, Danish national television) chose to do the latter. That is what DR-spokesman Gustav Lützhøft stated. People who have tickets for Melodi Grand Prix can have their tickets exchanged or their money refunded. DR will contact them about this.
