The number 1 at the bookmakers last year was Victoria from Bulgaria. Could she make it happen this year? The staging can at least be called special: optimal use has been made of all visual possibilities, making it look like Victoria is sitting and later standing on a rock in the water and singing her song there. And yes, she also sings it vocally perfect, with her special voice.
When the Eurovision song contest was canceled last year, Bulgaria was number 1 at the bookmakers. Victoria Georgieva seemed to be heading for the first Bulgarian victory with “Tears getting sober”. It was not going to happen, but the Bulgarians were of course happy to work with this former X-Factor participant for another year. The audience was allowed to choose one out of five songs. It became this “Growing up is getting old”. photo credits: © Lora Musheva
When Vasil Garvanliev is on the podium for North Macedonia, he will be relieved. He was already there as a backing vocalist when Tamara Todevska finished seventh. In 2020 he would represent North Macedonia himself. This was canceled due to the Corona crisis. North Macedonian broadcaster selected him for the 2021 contest. But when the clip of “Here I stand” was published, it turned out that it contained three paintings in the colors of the Bulgarian flag. A petition was held by extreme nationalists not to send Vasil to the Eurovision song contest. The broadcaster started an investigation.Fortunately, the whole story fizzled out. Eurovision fans organized a counter-petition and Vasil is allowed to go to Rotterdam after all.
As you all could read here there is a lot of opposition against Vasil’s participation in the Eurovision Song Contest. Vasil came up with his own statement today: “I am a music ambassador, and in music there is no religion, politics, orientation, race or color. I had absolutely no intentions to hurt anybody. Quite the opposite! I am so proud of this project which not only embodies me, but my country and culture – musicians and featured artists in the gallery. I do not apologise for being me. I never will – I didn’t have a choice in that. However, if I hurt ANYBODY in ANY WAY, from the bottom of my heart … I am sorry. Forgive me.”
A storm came up when the video of the North Macedonian entry “Here I stand” appeared. In the video, the colors of the Bulgarian flag are shown. Vasil, the North Macedonian singer, is a member of the Bulgarian minority in North Macedonia. Many people in North Macedonia objected against Vasil as a participant. A petition was signed already 17.000 times.
Many artists who were reinvited for the Eurovision Song Contest because they couldn’t participate last year, wrote a song and presented it. In Bulgaria, it went different. The public could make a choice from six titles, one of which will be performed in Rotterdam by Victoria.
As the countries participating in the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest will be the same as in 2020, the allocation draw also will be the same. Eurovision.tv just confirmed that the 41 participating countries agreed on that. That means, the countries will perform in the same part of the same semifinal as was planned for the 2020 contest. Of course, the following order will be decided when all the songs are known. The allocation draw was, and is: 1st semifinal, 1st part: North Macedonia Belarus Lithuania Sweden Slovenia Australia Ireland Russia 1st semifinal, 2nd part: Norway Cyprus Croatia Azerbaijan Malta Israel Ukraine Romania Belgium 2nd semifinal, 1st part: Austria Moldova Poland San Marino Serbia Iceland Czech Republic Greece Estonia Germany, Italy and The Netherlands will also be able to vote in this semifinal. 2nd semifinal, 2nd part: Denmark Bulgaria Switzerland Finland Armenia Latvia Georgia Portugal Albania France, Spain and the United Kingdom will also be able to vote in this semifinal.
September 1st is the start of the Eurovision Season. Every song that is released from now on, can be a Eurovision entry.Due to COVID19, the previous contest had to be cancelled. We don’t know yet what the 2021 contest will look like. Junior Eurovision in Poland will be a first test case for this.Because of the cancellation, a lot of national broadcasters decided to give the same artist a second chance. Therefore, we already have 19 artists confirmed for the 2021 contest. They are: Australia: Montaigne Austria: Vincent Bueno Azerbaijan: Efendi Belgium: Hooverphonic Bulgaria: Victoria Czech Republic: Benny Cristo Georgia: Tornike Kipiani Greece: Stephania Israel: Eden Alene Latvia: Samanta Tina Malta: Destiny Moldova: Natalia Gordienko (unconfirmed!) Romania: Roxen San Marino: Senhit Slovenia: Ana Soklič Spain: Blas Cantó Switzerland: Gjon’s Tears The Netherlands: Jeangu Macrooy Ukraine: Go_A As soon as there is news, we will keep you updated!
