New video’s

No less than 17 countries published the official video of their songs. Here’s your weekly update upon that. We will not mention them all individually, but you can find them all in our database. We mention just a few:

Montenegro’s Revamp – Nina Ĺ˝iĹľić’s Fresh Sound

Montenegro has unveiled a revamped version of Nina Ĺ˝iĹľić’s Eurovision 2025 entry. The song now features updated production elements and enhanced vocal arrangements, giving it a fresh, contemporary appeal. Ĺ˝iĹľić expressed excitement about the improvements, aiming to captivate both jury members and Eurovision fans alike in Basel.

Italy’s video – a special one

We didn’t add Italy’s video to the database, as the song is interrupted several times. It contains a beautiful story, so we still recommend watching it. It is worth it, the full 5 minutes!!

Spain’s Song Revamp

 Spain isn’t resting after their national final. Melody has unveiled a revamped version of “Esa Diva,” the song with which she won Benidorm Fest. The new version comes with a more international pop sound and a brand-new music video, giving the song a fresh polish ahead of Eurovision​. Spanish broadcaster RTVE explained that the revamp aimed to boost the song’s appeal while keeping its original essence. Melody believes the updates have made her entry even stronger.

Malta’s Eurovision Entry: From ‘Kant’ to ‘Serving’

Malta’s Eurovision 2025 journey experienced a significant twist with Miriana Conte’s entry, originally titled “Kant.” The Maltese word “kant” translates to “singing,” but its pronunciation closely resembles a vulgar English term, leading to potential misunderstandings. This linguistic overlap prompted the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to request changes to the song’s title and lyrics to ensure suitability for the international audience. ​

In response, Conte and her team retitled the song to “Serving,” aligning with the original theme of confidence and self-expression. The revamped version maintains the song’s essence while adhering to the EBU’s guidelines. The updated music video, released on March 14, 2025, showcases Conte’s adaptability and commitment to her artistic vision. ​

The song serves as a modern homage to France Gall’s 1965 Eurovision-winning entry “PoupĂ©e de cire, poupĂ©e de son,” reflecting on themes of empowerment and self-expression. A revamped version of the song was released on 18 March 2025. ​ Luxembourg Song Contest 2025 Luxembourg’s national selection for Eurovision 2025 was conducted through the Luxembourg Song Contest 2025. The competition featured seven entries competing in a televised final held on 25 January 2025 at the Rockhal in Esch-sur-Alzette. The winner was determined by a combination of votes from eight international jury groups and an international public vote. Laura Thorn’s “La PoupĂ©e monte le son” emerged victorious, securing her spot to represent Luxembourg in Basel. Here are the full results: Laura Thorn, “La PoupĂ©e monte le son“ Zero Point Five, “Ride“ Luzac, “Je danse“ Rythmic Soulwave, “Stronger“ One Last Time, “Gambler’s Song“ Mäna, “Human Eyes“ Rafa Ela, “No Thank You“ Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest Luxembourg has a storied history in the Eurovision Song Contest, participating 38 times since its debut in 1956. The country has won the contest five times: in 1961 (Jean-Claude Pascal‘s “Nous les amoureux”), 1965 (France Gall‘s “PoupĂ©e de cire, poupĂ©e de son”), 1972 (Vicky Leandros‘ “Après toi”), 1973 (Anne-Marie David‘s “Tu te reconnaĂ®tras”, and 1983 (Corinne Hermès‘ “Si la vie est cadeau”). After a 31-year hiatus, Luxembourg returned to the contest in 2024.​ A Random Luxembourgish Entry Reflecting on Luxembourg’s Eurovision history, random.org chose 1971. A very typical song called “Pomme, pomme, pomme” (Apple, apple, apple). In hotpants Monique Melsen sang a very simple song. Monique is one of the few Luxembourgish artists representing Luxembourg. Most of the time Luxembourg chose French or German artists. Betting Odds As of now, Laura Thorn’s “La PoupĂ©e monte le son” holds a 30th place in the betting odds in order to win the Eurovision Song Contest. In the odds for the 2nd semifinal however, Laura holds a 9th place. That means there is a serious chance that Luxembourg will, again, reach the final. Let’s wait and see what happens. We eagerly await the Eurovision Song Contest in Basel and look forward to witnessing Laura Thorn’s performance on the grand stage.​ Share
