BELARUS 🇧🇾 Belarusian Foundation for Cultural Solidarity initiated a campaign to ban BTRC from the EBU, following the recent political rise up against the almost eternal president of the country, his policies, and his team corruption... A social media hashtag #stopbt has been launched by the organization and has asked people to contact the EBU on social media and email demanding that BTRC is removed from the Εurovision Song Contest 2021 as well. Probably nothing will happen (once again) as Belarusian money seems to be much more precious for the EBU rather than democratic procedures (and some of us know what means when it comes to BTRC and Eurovision!)
EUROVISION 2021 🇳🇱 NRC newspaper correspondent in Rotterdam, Sheila Kamerman explained in a recent interview that obviously everything depends on the UK, for the EBU to decide which scenario will apply for Eurovision 2021.
SWEDEN 🇸🇪 SVT revealed the 2021 Melodifestivalen stage. This year no audience offers more options says the designer, Viktor Brattström. Somehow the stage reminds us an alternative version of the 2021 Eurovision stage, what do you think?
RUSSIA 🇷🇺 Russian broadcaster is the 4th one confirming participation for JESC 2021. Submissions opened and due on August 25th. There will be a final in mid September in Moscow.
EUROVISION 2021 🇳🇱 10 stand-in singers and 14 dancers will conduct the mock rehearsals before the opening of the Eurovision week in Rotterdam, from the art colleges of Albeda and Codarts. Something from which the City Council member, Said Kasmi is extremely proud.
PORTUGAL 🇵🇹 RTP presented the 20 songs which will compete in the Portuguese national selection Festival da Canção, the annual music festival of the country through which the Eurovision entry and artist is selected. The format of the competition will consist of three shows: two semi-finals on 20 and 27 February 2021 and the final on 6 March 2021. In the final, the winner will be determined by the votes from regional jury panels and public voting. For the fifth consecutive year, RTP abolished the language restrictions, so that artists may submit songs in any language(s), even without Portuguese. On 4 December 2020, RTP revealed the names of the twenty participating composers: eighteen invited by RTP and two selected from 693 submissions received during an open call for songs. It was also announced that Jorge Gabriel and José Carlos Malato will host the first semi-final on February 20th, with Tania Ribas De Oliveira and Sónia Araújo hosting the second semi-final on February 27th.
