ISRAEL 🇮🇱

It is also confirmed that the show will be sued once again for selecting the artist for Eurovision 2020 but there is no clarification yet if there will be a second show f the song selection or it will be internally chosen.

NORWAY 🇳🇴
The final stage of the selection of the 25 songs that will compete in the five semifinals of MGP 2020 is Norwegian Public Television, as the national final producer Stig Karlsen tells us. The turnout was great this year too, as more than 800 songs were submitted!

In the final stages of picking the artist and songs for MGP 2020. We have gone through about 800 songs, met up with hundreds of songwriters, producers, artists and music business professionals. Had a bunch of listening sessions and analysed feedback from people in different age groups and with different background. Now it’s down to own flair and expertise, and the brutal prosess of choosing the 25 that will grace the stage during the biggest TV event in Norway. The winner of MGP will go on to represent Norway in front of 200 million people at the Eurovison. 🤩#nrkmgp #eurovision

UNITED KINGDOM 🇬🇧 A former Eurovision star claims there is no point Britain taking part in the contest after Brexit as we will never win it now. Clodagh Rodgers, who came joint fourth in 1971 with Jack In The Box, believes European countries will give us nul points, especially as the UK beat them to the Covid vaccine. Britain has not won Eurovision since Katrina and the Waves entered with Love, Shine A Light in 1997. But Clodagh, who had a string of hits in the 60s and 70s, fears that long wait for victory will go on indefinitely. 4 0
