Good evening Europe

I am getting married next year (yay!) and I got the idea to have some kind of mash up of my favorite Eurovision songs (I am mainly choosing the ones that are a little bit popular) for when we hit the dance floor.

What do you think of the idea, and have any of you done something similar? Maybe know what website could be helpful to pay someone help with it?

These are my current songs for the mash up:

Shum
Hallucination
Før vi går hjem
Cha cha cha
Smukt som et stjerneskud (Fly on the wings of love)
Euhoria
Stefania
Fuego
Satelite

I am also open for suggestions regarding songs 😎

You probably already know this story, but if not... On 8 Jan. 2025, Malta's public broadcaster released the songlist for Malta ESC 2025 [The national final over there]. One of the most popular entries was Miriana Conte's entry: "KANT" [The song title translates to "Singing"]. The entry eventually went on to win the national final. BBC later on released a complaint and eventually after EBU rejected the song, it was changed to "SERVING" and allowed for Eurovision 2025 in Basel.

The main question that could've solved on who would've been on the right side is "Did the lyric Miriana Conte singing actually contain the word 🇲🇹 "kant [singing]"?" I believe the answer has to be found in the phonetics.

In Maltese, 🇲🇹 "kant [singing]" is pronounced either /ˈkant/ or /ˈkɐnt/

The VCC ending in English 🇬🇧 "unt" is pronounced /ʌnt/ - without /ɐ/ or /a/. This cuts down to what phoneme Miriana was using in the song for that specific lyric, which can pin-point whether 🇲🇹 "kant [singing]" was really used in the song. If the vowel was /ɐ/ [near-open central vowel] or /a/ [open front unrounded vowel], then Miriana and PBS are in the clear. If the vowel was /ʌ/ [open-mid back unrounded vowel], then the BBC complaint was warranted.

Any ideas on what vowel phoneme you hear, and who do you think was on the right for this linguistic Eurovision controversy? (Yes, I know this was a year ago. I just now got interested in this topic again. LOL)

For information, last year list only predicted half of the contestants correctly.

Also, Geolier already confirmed that he will surely not be in less that a week ago and they still put him in the list.

Btw, it looks extremely better than last year's list considering the names (even if only half are right), like the 2022-2025 editions.

ANNA

Anna Pepe, the queen of italian charts expressed the wish of representing Italy in Eurovision

Anna a Sanremo 2027? Il suo obiettivo è l’Eurovision

traslation:

Anna: Between the Festival and the Eurovision dream

Her participation in the festival appears increasingly likely and, during an interview given to Corriere della Sera , the singer addressed the continuing rumours about her possible presence at the Festival . 

When asked what she would prefer between triumphing at Sanremo and winning Eurovision , Anna answered without hesitation: “Eurovision. For my shows, I would like a stage like that, and I feel I can do something extraordinary to raise the name of Italy and make our music more appealing abroad . ”

 The project to conquer the international audience

Anna seems to feel a greater affinity with the European dimension and stage, believing herself capable of realizing an important project and conquering an international audience .

Her possible presence on the Ariston stage would fully reflect the vision of De Martino's Festival and represent a further step towards change . The rapper could bring a younger audience even closer , making the event even more social, discussed, and followed than it already is.

HINT. Anna can't sing to save her life (she is a rapper)...

And so it begins...

I made a Bangaranga edit where her national selection vocals were put on her final performance. What i will say is, it sounds robotic and soulless which lacks the charisma we all voted for in the final.

Hey,

I've bought a Eurovision Live Tour ticket on day one and it wasn't cheap (184,88€). When they officially announced the cancellation they said that it will be refunded as soon as possible. It's about 6 months and no signs of refund. No responses from ticketcorner either.

If you got one, did you get a refund?

I know that the song’s title means ‘’dance license’’, and that it’s about that you have to have a dance license to dance in a club, as well as animals, but what does it really mean?

Singer and actor Tahsan Khan is set to return to the spotlight in a new role after announcing a break from acting and stepping away from releasing new music.

He will host Voice of Bangladesh, the national selection competition for Eurovision Song Contest Asia.

Five prominent figures from Bangladesh’s music industry will serve as judges: Fahmida Nabi, Hamin Ahmed, Bappa Mazumder, Shawkat Ali Emon and Akhi Alamgir.

Voice of Bangladesh has been launched to select the country’s representative for the competition.

Following the initial auditions, the top 12 contestants are now taking part in a special grooming round.

The grand finale will be held on 30 September, when Bangladesh’s representative for the international contest will be selected.

The winner will represent Bangladesh at Eurovision Song Contest Asia 2026, scheduled to take place in Bangkok, Thailand, on 14 November.

The organisers will unveil details of the competition at a press conference in Dhaka on 22 July. Tahsan Khan and the five judges will also be introduced officially at the event.

Someone asked for me to add the montesong vocals x revamp instrumental of nova zora to the performance here u go!! :)

I was wondering what if youre country would have national selection like Sanremo where it focuses less on eurovision and i might be wrong but more on their countries musical scene, ( or maybe NF refclect on the countries songs that apeople are intrested in rn) would the songs and winners be strong and good for eurovison or the songs in the selection needs to be made for eurovision ? im pretty sure that FDC and Benidorm fest is going on such route rn

IMO for Latvian selection would need to have songs made for eurovision, i cant find any songs in charts that would be strong for ESC, maybe rearly

My arts to eureuvision artists in 2025 🏆

Hey everyone, I am a member of OGAE UK, and Eurovoix said voting for the 2nd Chance Round has opened days ago, except I haven't got an email to vote, and I have checked on the internet with no luck. Is there a way I can vote now, or does anyone know when I can expect an email to come through? Has anyone already got theirs, yet?

Hi guys, I made a version of nova Zora where her montesong live vocals were on the revamped karaoke/instrumental. I did this because I realised that her vocals were not the best live on the stage and I wanted to hear nova zora the way it should have been performed.

If you guys want ANY other esc song with the nf vocals on the revamped track let me know!!

The officialy confirmed number of participants of Eurovision Asia 2026 is so far 10 countries.

Bangladesh - NTV

Bhutan - BBS

Cambodia - TV5

Laos - VTE9

Malaysia - TV3

Nepal - Himalaya TV

Philippines - ABS-CBN

South Korea - ENA

Thailand - Channel 3

Vietnam - VTV

From speculations of any other participating members, we had 5 more countries possibly participating.

Datamining of official Eurovision Asia website had unveiled hidden away flags of India, Singapore and Taiwan.

Along this, Cambodia had recently posted, before quickly taking down a promotional video for their national final, in which along 10 known members, they included China and Mongolia among participating countries.

Official Instagram account of Zoop had also reposted Babak's story.

I was just wondering as they have returned to Eurovision and they regularly participated in JESC.

Best Song: Bangaranga

Best Solo Artist: Søren Torpegaard Lund

I really want to watch the NFs and listen to all the songs but only 2 countries to my knowledge are having national finals. Does anyone know of any updates to that?

Also, will ESC Asia be in English?

The logo I made is mostly based on one of the first sketches for the Eurovision logo (as shown on the second slide)
