BuzzJack Legend Joined: 23 December 2010 Posts: 24,411 User: 12,608	Yesterday (May 9th), a press conference was held in Copenhagen about this year's Junior Eurovision Song Contest which is to be held in Malta following Gaia Cauchi's win a few months ago with the song 'The Start'. Amongst other things, the logo for the contest as well as the slogan '#together' has been revealed which you can see above. I know not many people are really bothered about this at the moment but I am so happy Malta are finally being able to host a Eurovision event seeing as they are widely considered one of the countries that love Eurovision the most! I believe Gaia will feature on tonight's Eurovision final too. Further details from the press conference can be read in this article.

Maybe they could do it when Gaia is old enough to represent them in the adult version in a few years time! She's an incredible singer for her age, if anyone hasn't seen her performance from last year you should definitely watch it below! thje0DAh_lU

thanks for being a sarcy lil bitch Joined: 25 September 2007 Posts: 79,277 User: 4,397	She is indeed going to feature in the final. She sang without arrangement and such and people really seemed to like it. Really good.

BuzzJack Legend Joined: 23 December 2010 Posts: 24,411 User: 12,608	Italy are making their Junior Eurovision debut in Malta this year and Cyprus will be returning. Very surprised to see Italy making their debut, I guess this shows that they will be committed to the main contest for the foreseeable future too.

BuzzJack Legend Joined: 23 December 2010 Posts: 24,411 User: 12,608	Today Montenegro have also announced they will be making their debut in Malta! Looks like Junior Eurovision is becoming more popular again after a couple of years with only around 12 entries.

BuzzJack Legend Joined: 23 December 2010 Posts: 24,411 User: 12,608	Bulgaria have also confirmed their return while it is looking likely that Portugal will return too. If the rumours around Portugal are true then the total of 6 debuting/returning countries (Montenegro, Italy, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Serbia and Portugal) would be the largest number of debutants/returnees in a single contest since the contest's launch!

BuzzJack Legend Joined: 23 December 2010 Posts: 24,411 User: 12,608	Yet another country, Slovenia, has confirmed that they will be making their debut in Junior Eurovision this year! This sudden interest hopefully means that interest for the adult contest will increase too and maybe we will get over 40 countries again next year with the likes of Bulgaria, Cyprus and Serbia seeing as they are returning or debuting in this.

BuzzJack Legend Joined: 23 December 2010 Posts: 24,411 User: 12,608	Here's a little update of where we are at with confirmed countries and entries: Armenia: To be decided on 14th September Belarus: Nadezhda Misyakova - Sokol Bulgaria: Krisia Todorova - To be announced Cyprus: Sophia Patsalides - I pio omorfi mera Georgia: Lizi Pop - To be announced Italy: To be announced Malta: Federica Falzon - To be announced Montenegro: Maša & Lejla - Budi dijete na jedan dan The Netherlands: To be decided on 27th September Russia: To be announced Serbia: To be announced Slovenia: To be announced Sweden: Julia Kedhammar - Du är inte ensam Ukraine: Sympho-Nick - Priyde vesna We are expecting official confirmation from Portugal and there are also rumours of Hungary participating. I've listened to the three songs so far, and I'm surprised by the high quality of them compared to what I was expecting. The Swedish entry is fabulous and a lovely key change in there too. Belarus reminds me a little of 'Horehronie' and is better than many of their recent adult Eurovision entries and in my opinion is a possible winner of the contest and the Ukrainian entry reminds me a little bit of 'Gravity' and is also a very nice song too. If I were to rank them so far I'd go for Belarus being my favourite followed by Sweden and then Ukraine.

BuzzJack Legend Joined: 23 December 2010 Posts: 24,411 User: 12,608	Time for another update now that San Marino have confirmed participation, although it seems that Portugal will no longer be entering. Armenia: Betty - People of the Sun Belarus: Nadezhda Misyakova - Sokol Bulgaria: Krisia Todorova - To be announced Cyprus: Sophia Patsalides - I pio omorfi mera Georgia: Lizi Pop - To be announced Italy: Vincenzo Cantiello - To be announced Malta: Federica Falzon - Diamonds Montenegro: Maša & Lejla - Budi dijete na jedan dan The Netherlands: To be decided on 27th September Russia: To be announced San Marino: To be announced Serbia: To be announced Slovenia: Ula Ložar - To be announced Sweden: Julia Kedhammar - Du är inte ensam Ukraine: Sympho-Nick - Priyde vesna The Armenian entry is the only new song available to listen to, and its another very good song I think! Seems to be a very high quality start to this year, although I'm not sure how this compares to previous years as I have never paid as much attention as I have to this contest. I'm very excited for the Cypriot and Maltese entries!

BuzzJack Legend Joined: 23 December 2010 Posts: 24,411 User: 12,608	dLjG2DNqW18 Here's the Cypriot entry and it is incredible! Anthemic "woahs", a massive key change, a massive final chorus and she reminds me of a young Ivi Adamou. Fabulous, Cyprus once again showing why they should be everyone's favourite Eurovision country! It also sounds a little like 'Mea Culpa' at the beginning I think! That's 5 songs we have heard now and they are all pretty good I think, there's also rumours of a return to this contest for Croatia surprisingly - I believe the deadline for confirmations is the end of the month.

BuzzJack Legend Joined: 23 December 2010 Posts: 24,411 User: 12,608	Here's another update after quite a few song selections and announcement, plus the return of former Junior Eurovision winners Croatia to the contest! Armenia: Betty - People of the Sun Belarus: Nadezhda Misyakova - Sokol Bulgaria: Krisia, Hasan and Ibrahim - To be announced Croatia: To be announced Cyprus: Sophia Patsalides - I pio omorfi mera Georgia: Lizi Pop - To be announced Italy: Vincenzo Cantiello - Tu primo grande amore Malta: Federica Falzon - Diamonds Montenegro: Maša & Lejla - Budi dijete na jedan dan The Netherlands: Julia - Around Russia: Alisa Kozhikina - Dreamer San Marino: The Peppermints - Breaking My Heart Serbia: To be announced Slovenia: Ula Ložar - To be announced Sweden: Julia Kedhammar - Du är inte ensam Ukraine: Sympho-Nick - Priyde vesna Really liking the newest songs we have - the Russian and Dutch entries. Alisa sounds like an incredible singer but I'm not sure if the song will be as accessible a ballad as Gaia's last year to a younger audience. Julia's song is another good uptempo although I'm not sure how well it will come across live with the clever sound effects the song uses. The number of female acts to male acts is quite astonishing - only the Italian entry is male while the Bulgarian artists are mixed (although it is still unclear whether Krisia, Hasan and Ibrahim will all be credited as a trio). I believe the Head of Delegations meeting is on Tuesday so we should have a complete line-up very soon. It's looking like Azerbaijan have withdrawn though, but 16 entries is the largest Junior Eurovision since 2008 so good work by the EBU and the Maltese host broadcaster!

BuzzJack Legend Joined: 23 December 2010 Posts: 24,411 User: 12,608	So we now have all the entries available to listen to! The links for each entry are the official Junior Eurovision YouTube channel uploads. Armenia: Betty - People Of The Sun Belarus: Nadezhda Misyakova - Sokal (Falcon) Bulgaria: Krisia, Hasan and Ibrahim - Planet Of The Children Croatia: Josie - Game Over Cyprus: Sophia Patsalides - I pio omorfi mera - The Most Beautiful Day Georgia: Lizi Pop - Happy Day Italy: Vincenzo Cantiello - Tu primo grande amore Malta: Federica Falzon - Diamonds Montenegro: Maša Vujadinovic & Lejla Vulić - Budi dijete na jedan dan The Netherlands: Julia - Around Russia: Alisa Kozhikina - Dreamer San Marino: The Peppermints - Breaking My Heart Serbia: Emilija Djonin - Svet u mojim očima / World In My Eyes Slovenia: Ula Ložar - Nisi sam / Your Light Sweden: Julia Kedhammar - Du är inte ensam Ukraine: Sympho-Nick - Spring Will Come I'm going to listen through them all now and come up with a quick ranking, but from what I've heard so far it's a very high quality contest. Still incredible that there is only one male vocalist and the rest are all females! Bulgaria's Hasan and Ibrahim aren't vocalists as far as I'm aware.
