JUNIOREUROVISION.TV REPORTS / FRANCE – The 11-year-old Valentina took the trophy home for France after collecting a combined score of 200 points! The French singer, who comes from a place near Rennes in France, won Junior Eurovision 2020 with her song J’imagine. It was the first victory for France who has only entered the Contest on 4 occasions so far. Now, France Télévisions is gearing up to host the event in 2021.

Delphine Ernotte Cunci, president of France Télévisions and EBU President-elect said: “I am very happy that France Télévisions is organizing the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in France in 2021. Valentina represented our country brilliantly by winning the 2020 edition. Consequently, it was obvious to host the next event in France.”

She went on to say: “This is a strong new initiative for us, which underscores the importance France Télévisions attaches to Eurovision, the EBU and Europe. Let us all hope that Junior Eurovision 2021 can take place under normal conditions in France and it will be a time of great celebrations for many Europeans.”

Alexandra Redde-Amiel who is Head of Variety and Entertainment at France Télévisions and Head of the French delegation for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest has good memories of that wonderful evening. “29 November 2020 will always be engraved in our memories thanks to Valentina’s magnificent victory at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest. This incredible adventure isn’t over! It truly is an achievement and an honour for the entire France Télévisions entertainment team to organize one of the biggest shows in the world in France. We can’t wait to welcome the EBU teams, all the participants and the European delegations next year and offer them a special show,” she said.

Martin Österdahl, the Executive Supervisor of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest and his team are delighted that France Télévisions will host the Contest for the first time. “We know how excited the whole team in France are to be staging the 19th edition of the Contest and we’re looking forward to working with them on growing the competition and producing a great show in 2021.”

The host city and venue for next year’s contest will be decided at a later date.

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.
