The big news this morning is that Australia would be making their debut in the 2015 Junior Eurovision! I wonder if this means we could end up seeing them in the main contest next year?

 

Australia automatically join Malta in having the advantage of being able to perform fully in English, I wonder if they could win!

Oh and the participant list is now finalised at 17 countries, the second biggest JESC ever and the biggest since 2007! :D

Australia's song and artist announcement is coming tonight, and apparently one of the co-writers of the song is one of Australia's biggest artists! :o

And the Australian entrant is The Voice Kids runner-up Bella Paige with her song 'My Girls' which is only co-written by Delta Goodrem!!!!

 

The singer and song for Australia's first ever Junior Eurovision participation have been revealed!

Bella Paige will have the honour of representing Australia in Junior Eurovision when the country makes it debut in Sofia this year. The 13-year old - who will turn 14 this month - is known in Australia for her participation in 'The Voice Kids' in 2014, where she went all the way to the final and eventually finished as a runner up.

 

The song that Bella will perform is called "My Girls", and has been co-written by Australian superstar Delta Goodrem, along with Grammy-award nominated Mitch Allan and LA-based producer Vince Pazzinga.

 

"I couldn't believe it when I found out I was selected to represent Australia and I'm so excited to be singing my single, My Girls, on a global stage in Bulgaria" said Bella. Co-writer Delta Goodrem added: "I'm so proud to be able to share this special song with Bella for Junior Eurovision. Bella has a phenomenal voice and so much confidence on stage, and I know she is absolutely going to wow Europe with her performance".

 

 

This is pretty great on first listen, there are a lot of female ballads and mid-tempos again this year it seems but it should be on for a pretty fine result I should think.

 

The heads of delegation meeting took place yesterday which means all of the entries yet to be revealed should arrive very shortly, with the exception of Ireland whose national final is still a few weeks ago. I'll keep updating the post below as the remaining entries come in!

'Na Inat' to be performed 17 times instead of the entries.

I think Na Inat is my favourite Bulgarian entry! :heart: Definitely deserved to qualify.

 

Meanwhile, the impact of Séverine Ferrer is still being felt 10 years on - who'd have thought?

San Marino continue to be iconic :lol:

I believe you can see Kamilla at 0:37 in the video for A Million Voices! At least I think it is her (one of the other forums think it is)

 

 

The Irish selection concluded this evening which means our line-up for 2015 is finally complete!

Only 13 days until the final, if anyone at all fancies a quick sneak peak of the entries there is a handy little recap of all 17 songs below. It's about as strong as last year for me, I think I'd make Armenia favourites to win as I think that ticks a lot of boxes!

 

No thanks I have other much more important things to do. Like stare at the walls. Or teach my cat advanced maths.

Watched the recap and selected Malta as my 'favourite' for all the wrong reasons. You go mini Chiara!

Pretty much this. Like if Chiara was a black teenager in 1996.

 

That recap is actually relatively unawful, save for a few of them. Malta, Australia or at a push Slovenia to win pls.

Lex having the same top 3 as me *.* (in reverse order)
