POLAND – It seems that there is some interesting news coming out of yesterday’s press conference where TVP revealed the hosts of the 2020 Junior Eurovision Song Contest edition.

The press conference took place in the studio, where “Szansa na Sukces” was previously recorded, was prepared on a grand scale. It was hosted by Agata Konarska (known for conducting the JESC 2019 press conference in Gliwice), and the participant of 2020 Junior Eurovision participant Ala Tracz, who also performed her song on stage, a stage which we saw for the first time.

The director and artistic director of the competition – Konrad Smuga and the president of TVP – Jacek Kurski made some interesting statements while online EBU’s Supervisor Martin Osterdahl shared his thoughts. The hosts were also presented as reported yesterday.

Video materials were also shown – a memory of Viki Gabor’s victory along with a clip presenting the Eurovision Junior hosts. A lot of journalists, reporters and photojournalists came to the meeting, with Mateusz Szymkowiak (Head of Delegation for senior and junior editions) attending as well.

We do hope they kept the COVID-19 protection measures (if any!) The event took place with the principles of social distancing, everyone (except those performing on stage) had to cover their mouth and nose. Fragments of the conference were shown in “Panorama”, and a more extensive report aired on TVP1 after 10:45 PM.

The most interesting part was the revelations of Konrad Smuga who’s the Director and Artistic Director of Junior Eurovision 2020. He revealed that some countries who cannot pay to build the specified stage in their own studio to comply with the overall common presentation of their song will fly to Warsaw to record their performance.

He clarified that all countries either performing in Warsaw or their home studio must comply with all technical specifications about lights, cameras and stage.

He also noticed that the event and its emergency – due to the pandemic crisis – format will be closely followed by the Dutch Broadcasters since it’s actually a test fort he SCENARIO-D for Eurovision 2021 edition.

It was also clear that TVP wishes to work again with Alicja Szemplińska in Eurovision but they made no official promise / announcement.

Don’t forget the 2020 Junior Eurovision Song Contest takes place on November 29th.

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.
CZECH REPUBLIC 🇨🇿 In a recent interview LAKE MALAWI's frontman, Albert Černý said that he didn't really want to participate in Polish selection last year. He did it more for PR rather than to get the ticket to Eurovision. After all he did a great job in 2019 for him and his country. He said that he was actually praying not to win the national final. The idea for participation came from his Polish manager who told him not to worry as he will probably not win because he's not 100% Polish.
SWEDEN 🇸🇪 Speaking to SVT radio, Melodifestivalen’s producer Karin Gunnarsson revealed the measures taken for this year's show. First, if a participant performed in rehearsals and then gets ill, his back up video performance will be aired instead. Second, the artists will rehearse and work in the venue in their own bubble avoiding contact with other artists and further infections. Universal Music contact person, Frida Boström, said that the lack of audience will give the artists more room to create their stage presentation and focus on it. All six shows will take place at the Stockholm Annexet without an audience.
NORTH MACEDONIA 🇲🇰 Vasil Garvanliev has been re-affirmed as the country's 2021 representative for Roettrdam's Eurovision Song Contest edition. The song will be eventually selected internally. It is the 23rd artist confirmed for Eurovision 2021.
