ISRAEL – He is indeed one of the hottest men in Israel and one of the hunks ever participating in Eurovision. Imri Ziv, the 2017 Eurovision entrant for Israel, returned to Greece one more time.

It is no secret that Imri loves the Greek islands, especially Mykonos and Santorini (where all the real fun is). Last night Imri came to Athens in order to depart to Tel Aviv.

In conjunction with OPEN TV, speaking on camera he greeted the readers of oikotimes and expressed his happiness for feeling so safe in the country, due to the pandemic crisis.

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.
