EUROVISION.TV REPORTS / THE NETHERLANDS – Sietse Bakker has been reappointed as Executive Producer. Inge van de Weerd has chosen to resign as Executive Producer and return to the NOS Events department, which will have a busy year ahead.

Astrid Dutrénit, who has worked at NOS since 2003, will fill the vacant position. Dutrénit graduated from the School of Journalism in Bordeaux and the Institut Francais de Presse in Paris. In The Netherlands, she followed a Master Film & Television at the UVA in Amsterdam. As a Senior Producer, she has been production responsible for major events in recent years, including ten years for the programs around the Tour de France, the European Athletics Championships (2016) and the Sports Gala (2011 – 2018). In addition, in her work at the NOS, she has frequently collaborated with the EBU.

Emilie Sickinghe (AVROTROS) and Jessica Stam (NOS) have also been reappointed as Deputy Executive Producers.

Speaking to EUROVISION.TV, Bakker explained some things. Here are the highlights of his interview:

  • Besides the hard decision, the announcement of cancelling the entire event was a hard thing to do, not only to the public but also to the team who had worked already for it.
  • It was impossible to have a competition without an audience as there would have been no magic in the show.
  • Holding an event like EUROVISION SHINE A LIGHT was extremely hard as the team had only 7 weeks to do so and the search for a suitable venue was almost impossible.
  • No final decision whether logo and slogan and other logistics will be used in the 2021 edition, confirming the stage as the only feature in it.
  • There will be several scenarios worked out to make sure there will be an audience in Rotterdam.
  • He praised his collaboration all those years with outgone Executive Supervisor Mr Jon Ola Sand.
  • He concluded his interview with the same phrase he used on Twitter: Eurovision 2021 will take place no matter what.

ITALY 🇮🇹 According to Il Messaggero, RAI will have a special and emergency meeting to check the options for SANREMO FESTIVAL 2021. There are two solutions to the table. Either the dates will remain as it is and the event will take place without an audience or the event will move to date within April. The final decision will also affect how RAI will decide its Eurovision entrant and song as April is outside the EBU deadlines for Eurovision 2021 (unless they get special permission, having in mind that Italy is one of the BIG 5 nations participating in the contest).
FINLAND 🇫🇮 Pekka Juhani "Pave" Maijanen was a Finnish musician, who worked as a singer, songwriter, bass player, keyboard player, drummer, guitarist and producer during his long career. As well as his solo career, Maijanen was a member of The Royals, Rock'n'Roll Band, Pepe & Paradise and he was the keyboard player and producer of Dingo and the Hurriganes. Maijanen's first work as a producer was for the album Nuclear Nightclub by Wigwam. His records didn't sell as they used to and a great misfortune was the last place at the Eurovision Song Contest 1992 with the song "Yamma Yamma". In September 2020 Maijanen revealed he had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in autumn 2018 and that the disease had progressed to the point that he had to give up playing and singing. He died from his illness on January 16th 2021, aged 70.
LITHUANIA 🇱🇹 PABANDOM IŠ NAUJO 2021 FIRST HEAT
EUROVISION 2021 🇳🇱 Although the 2020 Eurovision theme was based on a design we all - somehow - agreed to like, the 2021 version of the 2020 theme seems incoherent and illustrates desperation for presenting something different. Obviously, some try to justify the money they received by presenting this weird and bizarre design. EBU's website, of course, endorsed it and loved it and posted a proud message for it (they cannot do otherwise of course)

ISRAEL 🇮🇱 January 19th at 14:00 KAN will air a special show with Lucy Ayoub presenting three video clips with Eden Alene performing the three final songs. The public voting will kick off and will last for 6 days. The voting will take place through the KAN app available only for Israelis and without any outside influence. The live show for January 25th is cancelled and therefore there will be no jury voting. On the 25/1 show, the videos will be presented again, the authors will be revealed in special vbackstage videos for the creations of the songs. The winner song will be revealed in the end of the show. The change was justified by the pandemic restrictions in the country.
