This time Belarus decide quick her song. And we are proud of the result. We are sending to iceland the beauty Rita Dakota , with her song 协谢械泻褌褉懈褔械褋褌胁芯 (Electricity) the same that we feel when we hear this girl voice.
All the country hope have better luck this year, people like the song, and why not sing with her in the final. We want to put minute 2.25 - 2.50 to the recap of semifinal and final (if she arrive)
The North Macedonian Broadcaster is proud to announce our 4th Winner of the national final named Konkurs, in the end the 4 became one as Kanita won the National Final with "S'jemi Ne". After Kanita non qualified the last time she represented North Macedonia we hope we can allow her a successful redemption. The HoD Kat is elated about the song being picked but doesn't know how well it will do:
"I'm over the moon about Kanita winning the national finals of Konkurs, we pray for the best in Reykjavik, it was my favourite in the national final and it was many others. I am a bit worried about the song possibly getting lost in its semi and I feel like people will either love the song or hate it, I think it's a borderline entry"
We wish the best of luck to Kanita, song is posted below
After a successful first run as the Head of Delegation for Germany, Aly Ryan hopes to build on that success with their internal selection for ESCT37 in Reykjav铆k. The electronic DJ duo LIZOT have been internally selected to represent Germany and will perform the song "Menage A Trois" featuring Holy Molly.
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN. Just moments ago, Papyllon won Eurosong 10 with 124 points, earning the right to represent Slovakia in ESCT37, in Iceland, with their hit song What About Tonight.
Regarding this choice, the HoD has said:
"With allowing Papyllon into Eurosong we knew that it was a huge risk: What About Tonight isn't the typical song that goes and does wonders at ESCT. However, when the talent and artistry is this big, it is a risk we were willing to take and we believe it was worth it. Papyllon will surely stand out in Reykjavik and whether it goes to the final or not, I think they will definitely bring diversity to the lineup and will leave their mark and their hearts on the ESCT stage."
Due to a last-minute change of HoD, Morocco has decided to once again select their entry for ESCT37 in Reykjavik internally. Showstopping Moroccan songstress Manal has been chosen to represent Morocco, performing the song "360".
Of the decision, the HoD had this to say:
"The choice seems obvious to me. We have a well-established artist with a song that showcases the heart of the thriving Moroccan hip-hop scene. Regardless of how Manal scores in Reykjavik, we are certain that she will do Morocco proud."
The winner of Sanremo 37 has just been revealed, and the Italian delegation is very pleased with this winner as we feel that it has the best chance of making the final, and even making it to the top 5. Welcome to ESCT, SHANGUY with the song "King Of The Jungle"!

It's a really well produced collaboration that we hope to break the audience in Reykjavik and come with the 2nd title in the history of the country. M枚we is debuting for Austria in the ESCT contests, however they've already represented Germany one, in the 29th edition of the Second Chance Contest, where they've finished 15th. Here is the song:
