POLAND – This year’s press conference was conducted a little bit differently than in previous years, much like many events in 2020. This time, instead of the media joining in the room, the press was also viewing online with the rest of us!

HIGHLIGHTS

  • The event kicked off with a host of the conference, Agata Konarska, who promised viewers a “special edition” of this year’s Junior Eurovision Song Contest!
  • Agata then introduced the organisers of the event: Executive Supervisor of Junior Eurovision 2020 Martin Österdahl from the EBU and President of Host Broadcaster TVP, Jacek Kurski who joined her live on stage in Warsaw.
  • We then got to see a beautiful video of Viki Gabor singing her 2019 winning song Superhero that included inspiring images matched with a voice-over of empowering words that invited us to Move The World. T
  • Mr Kurski was honoured to welcome viewers back to Poland and expressed his pride for being the first public broadcaster in Junior Eurovision history to host the competition 2 consecutive years in a row.
  • Many viewers were particularly impressed by the augmented reality and visuals displayed during the Opening Ceremony.
  • Mr Kurski reported that they did not only apply augmentative reality techniques during the concert but also XR extended reality with the use of an LED screen system and camera positioning in a 3D space. In fact, he said it was the “first time in the world that XR technology was used in a multi-camera live shooting!”
  • He also mentioned that the Junior Eurovision clip by this year’s Polish representative, Ala Tracz, was filmed in the form of a so-called ‘master shot’ which was also the first time it was used in the history of the competition! The result of the Opening Ceremony came down to a lot of hard and complicated work, but that it proved his team at TVP were “not afraid of ambitious and difficult challenges!”
  • Not everyone believed that the EBU and TVP could do it but the team were solution focused and driven, despite having to overcome obstacles that once seemed impossible. The competition this year “is going to raise the bar for competitions to come” said the Executive Supervisor of the competition.
  • Viewers were then treated with a video showing the dedication and commitment from everyone involved in the creation of the event, including backstage visuals of the artists, staging crew, and more!
  • Last year’s winner, Viki Gabor joined the stage and was asked what the most memorable moments of her time in the competition last year.
  • Martin was then asked for a response on the many countries that had to withdraw from this years’ competition due to the covid 19 pandemic. While he was saddened by the fact that some of “our friends” could not be with us, he was sure they were all participating in some form, either through watching the show or getting involved in the voting too. He assured viewers that they were in discussions with everyone to come back next year too and believed that the success of this show will increase their interest again next year.

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.

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.
