Haughty, precious and prouds!! Welcome for the first time to Barcelona, Spain, where a new ESCT edition is about to begin and everything is completely ready. Just since this moment, you can start posting your entries and the results of your national finals, clues about your entries or artists, etc. There's enough time to make public your entries until next Friday, February 9th.
All the news about singers, songs, preselections will be posted here. For example: "Armenia - It's rumoured among the citizens that Iveta Mukuchyan could attempt to represent her country." Moreover you can develop the new as you want.
The participation of a country will be completed and confirmed when the head of delegation informs about the artist and the song, then the administrator, #Alexito will update the board.
If you need help to find some songs, you can check the Song Suggestions thread. With the song you can also add the timeslot or the recap (+25 seconds) that you want to be heard in the Semifinals or the Grand Final.
IF YOU CANNOT VOTE IN ANY VOTING (SEMIFINAL OR GRAN FINAL) YOU CAN CHOOSE A NOT ESCT MEMBER TO VOTE INSTEAD OF YOU. THAT'S A BACKUP JURY.
If you have any doubt, email me and I will explain you any information.
Vyan for Croatia!
Today it has been announced that award-winning Croatian-born singer Vyan will be representing Croatia in ESCT29, hoping to achieve a better result than the absolute last achieved by nipplepeople in the previous edition. She'll be performing "Hard to Break".
Some people have been talking to me and complaining that there is not enough time to post the entries, although the thread has been opened since last Thursday and in total, there are 10 days to post your entries and that's more than enough, in my opinion. So, here's my question: Do you think that is necessary to extend the deadline a couple of days more? Specially for those with an open preselection, so everyone could have more time even with the weekend, when we all have more free time.
The semifinals allocation draw, took place today in the afternoon, when 41 countries were split in two semifinals. The BIG 5 member were also distributed in both semifinals where they will have to vote. The running order will be published coming soon.
Deadline is next Friday 9th February, just 4 days left.
It would be really helpful if you could contact with some of these people who need to send their entries :D
After a long voting process with 6 songs fighting for this place, it was Lina the chosen one to go to Barcelona represent Slovakia in the contest for the third time with her new song "Don't Leave Me Now"
Just a few minutes ago, the A Dal Grand Final took place and after counting the votes from the jury and the public, the artist with more points and will represent Hungary in Barcelona is... LOLA! She will sing in the song "Telihold" completely in Hungarian.
Recap: 2:11-2:36
Lola, the winner, has won with 297, only 4 points more than the runner-ip. The song is a fresh and modern one and we really believe and hope that she can achieve a good position.
Thank you so much for voting in our National Final.
The results of 'Wer Singt fur Osterreich?' were published earlier today coming up with a winner and also Austria's representant in ESCT 29:
Vida Noa - 'Bulletproof'
After the last edition we decided to not get high hopes even with the 'well received' entries, if a pleasant surprise is to come we'll be happy, but the countrie's objective for thi edition will resume to reaching the grand final.
