Looks like Eurovision 2021 will go ahead whatever the format and unless we are all dead...

Possibly even then, if they can manage Zombie Eurovision?

“Think About Things” has been named by Time magazine as one of the ten best songs of 2020.

Yes, they have confirmed they will represent Italy in Rotterdam. The winner of San Remo has the right of refusal on whether to go to Eurovision or not.

These are the other entries that were chosen over the weekend:

Estonia - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfuQkhNECXQ
Portugal - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hAlp3Khsnk
San Marino - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRAN7AzEKak
Denmark - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axzrdVUdQzQ
Russia - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBgm_d61K7E

First time Portugal's entry is entirely in English, while Denmark are sending their first song in Danish since 1997.

ETA: Spain - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6zG2Bj0a48

We are about half way through, really liked Ukraine and Serbia good, Albania and Australia pretty good, Ireland was sweet (thought she was running home not to the beach), my daughters favourite was Romania (self love) but not mine. I enjoyed the German video not sure how it will translate to live? Will see the rest this week.

Don't think we have shared Ukraine's entry here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7-dxzp6Jvs

In addition the following have been released in the last few days:

Australia - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghT5QderxCA
Austria - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sY76L68rfs
Switzerland - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpM6o6UiBIw

Some controversy sounded the Belarussian entry which is apparently a not very thinly veiled attack on the opposition to Lukashenko. Overtly political messages are banned at Eurovision. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RMHKaIsac0

The EBU has blocked Belarus from entering the song they chose in its current version:


We’ve written to the broadcaster BTRC, which is responsible for Belarus’ entry for the Eurovision Song Contest, to inform them that the song, in its present form, is currently not eligible to compete.

Furthermore we’ve requested that they take all necessary steps to submit a modified version, or a new song, that is compliant with the ESC rules.

Failure to do so could result in disqualification from this year’s Contest.

My heart broke when I saw Little Big on Russian live tv (on YT) say they won't take part this year.
The frontman Ilya Prusikin said that they have had such a success with "Uno", having over 190 million clicks, and they would have to compete with that and competing with something this big leaves a great hole to fall into.
I totally understand their reason, but I am still pissed.
I don't like the new Russian entry at all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l01wa2ChX64

I hope Little Big will come back to ESC at some point.

It must have been really deflating for last year's entries to have the event canceled, even knowing it was the right thing to do. And while some countries chose the same people to go again, it's obviously not with the songs they originally wanted to. And others have to qualify again, with no guarantees - like The Mamas still going through Melfest.

I imagine Diodato was in a similar position to Little Big. He's had a fair bit of success with Fai Rumore, and the Arena di Verona performance was so good - why even try to go to Sanremo to compete with that?

Have listened to all the chosen songs now except for Belarus and Lithuania is the one that stands out for me followed by Bulgaria, Switzerland, Iceland and Italy in no particular order.

Perhaps I’ll be proven wrong, but am cautiously optimistic that Ireland may qualify provided it’s staged well.

I really like our entry :shuffle:

I didn’t bother listening to anything last year when it all got cancelled in March. But if you need a UK Jury this year, here I am :encore:

Erm, hello everybody?

Is there going to be FSU Eurovision voting this year?

Can't even remember when was the last time I took part in. Or have I already missed everything? I won't be surprised. Returning to the old routines does appear to be rather excruciating this year.

PS Russian entry is something that I'd rather skip and miss this year if only I had been able to. Hopefully other entries aren't that erm dubious. I've googled lyrics and it's really like some person's ravings with intermittent ahs and ohs and English lyrics. Obviously, quarantine doesn't do any good for the mental state of many.
