🎶🎵🎸🥁Eurovision 2024🎷🪇🎵🎶
 

Given the shenanigans of the 2023 thread, I think it’s best I create this now before we have another **** show.

So, can we expect the host city to be Malmo?

I think its almost certain going to be Stockholm

What makes you say that?

Its 50 years since Abba won and they took the contest to Stockholm

Ah makes sense.

It will be an Abba special!

:amazed:

I’m sure the Eurovision all stars will sing an ABBA medley. Like the Liverpool songs medley this year.

Sweden, gets it.

Loads of BBC Workers on long Jolly's

I haven't watched it since I was about 12. It's so dull. :p

I don't think you'd call Croatia's entry this year dull.:laugh:

It’s worth watching ( even on mute ) just for the lighting / laser shows for each performance

Maybe, but I mean the whole event, long and drawn out.:sleep:

I usually record this type of thing and then fast forward through all the crud .. same with BGT etc

am looking forward to Luxembourg, what they have to offer these days

the former powerhouse nation


and who else is returning

maybe Andorra, Susanna Georgi gives it another attempt


Monaco could be likely, with new broadcaster which launches this september


Bosnia & Herzegovina, their first artist Fazla is working on their return too

I would like to see Turkiye give it a shot again.

depends on second round of elections if Erdogan loses ;)


his opponent said he wants Turkiye back at ESC

And give MAnGa the win that they deserved the first time around.:dance:

Turkiye not returning then to this stupid gayfest



i love turkish music so much though

although i wasn't counting on their return lol as they got such shady elections


Monaco though seems quite likely with their return with a new broadcaster


Montenegro i hope so too, same goes with North Macedonia



and i hope Susanna Georgi has more luck this time around for Andorra's comeback



i'd love for Morocco to join us again for a second participation (would be 44 yrs since their debut in 1980) and we do need some arab language representation again tbh, otherwise i'll also be happy about a Qatar debut



i hope Romania is staying but opting internal selection this time around, their NF is clearly not working anymore and they do have good artists (many at Cat Music label are fab, i listen to many of that one's releases, very cheesy, summer pop vibes)



Greece might go for a national final concept maybe, to give greek public a chance to decide their entry again

Malmo is confirmed as the host city.

great to have an official thread going forward

Awkward for this to be the second post on the Eurovision 2024: Malmo thread.

Miss Netta 2.0

Spoiler 6. Netherlands fail to qualify

:joker:

what we know so far

Luxembourg: national final
Cyprus: talent show/reality show selection method of some sort ''big brother'' style
Estonia: Eesti Laul 2024
Finland: UMK 2024
Iceland: Songvakeppnin 2024
Ireland: not confirmed yet what selection method but likely Late Late Show NF or a revamped version of it, submissions are open anyway
Israel: The Next Star 2024
Italy: likely Sanremo 2024
Malta: Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2024
Norway: Melodi Grand Prix 2024
Spain: Benidorm Fest 2024
Sweden: Melodifestivalen 2024


Austria: internal selection
Switzerland: internal jury selection through songwriting camp

----------
rumours

Greece: might consider bringing a national final back

Netherlands: a return of the Nationaal Songfestival is mentioned

Moldova: not confirmed officially but i guess Etapa Nationala

Croatia: likely Dora 2024

Denmark: likely Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 2024

Portugal: very likely Festival Da Cancao 2024

Poland: probably a national final

Czechia: due to recent success with Vesna, We Are Domi, another ESCZ national final?

San Marino: could be Una Voce Per San Marino 2024, unless someone with money demands an internal selection

Slovenia: i'd say either internal with a big name, or return to the EMA national selection


Belgium: its wallonia now, so internal selection with some unknown young rising talent i guess (2025 might be eurosong national final again with flanders i think)

Latvia: Supernova 2024 i think

Lithuania: Pabandom Is Naujo 2024 very likely

Romania: return to internal selection if they are in, also could see them going into a more fun uptempo route again after this years disasters 0 points (which public are mainly to blame for, when they had a uptempo banger in the NF, Perinita Mea who would've done better)


France: could be a return to the 2021/2022 national final concept after this years internal flop with La Zarra :think:


Ukraine: Vidbir 2024 from that bunker venue i think

Azerbaijan: internal selection, going for something from swedish composers to play it safer i guess

Armenia: Depi Evratesil if no big names apply, otherwise internal

Georgia: maybe The Voice of Georgia, or internal selection
--------
yet to confirm participation countries

Albania: very likely with Festival I Kenges
Serbia: likely with Pezma Za Evroviziju
Germany: i think Unser Lied fur Malmo

re Switzerland: their songwriting camp is simple

artists can work with composers/producers from all over the world to come up with possible ESC entries, these get judged by a panel usually consisting out of 10 or 12 international jurors whom after closely listening decide whom represents the Swiss at ESC


Austria does internals yes, but their HoD usually teases through clues which 3 are shortlisted by an expert jury


----------------
Malta's MESC is a huge competition on its own

4 quarter finals, 2 semi finals and a grand final :cool: and in the final they have lots of guest act intervals as well

----------------
San Marino basically anyone can submit songs there from any country worldwide, as long as you have the funds to participate

how many countries in ESC2024

i think 40 or 41 could be possible again


Monaco: very likely with the new broadcaster launching next month
North Macedonia: they have enough funds to keep participating in junior eurovision, and they broadcasted the contest this year too with hopes of returning in 2024 so yeah maybe they're back, hopefully with something in macedonian again and not too westernized
Montenegro: they have no huge financial problems, but they want to keep being competitive with a healthy budget, they could easily return with some bigger name like one of the Polumenta's (Sako or Dado or recently debuted new artist Adina) so we'll see as for them



Turkiye accepting Sweden into NATO, let this contest be hosted in Sweden, relations between them are very improved as of today what we know, they haven't said anything yet so idk


Andorra: Susanna Georgi her plan part 2 of bringing them back, last time she had no luck in doing so, but she keeps trying, and she wants a team up between andorrans and catalonians in terms of sharing each others artists

not much other choice when Taylor Swift had claimed Stockholm as hers

lost my interest in this again then


stupid trash AVROTROS broadcaster, lazy idiots :idc:



you guys say defund bbc, well i say #DefundNPO

Very Small Nation
as if they matter

:hehe:

how wrong you are in this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxemb...n_Song_Contest


they have won the contest 5 times, and finished 3rd twice as well as many top 10 results

with just 3 last place results



they launched careers of superstars such as Nana Mouskouri, Vicky Leandros, Anne-Marie David, France Gall

they even had Plastic Bertrand representing them back in the day, as well as another huge name in Lara Fabian (in the year of Celine Dion's global breakthrough where Lara finished in a respectable 4th place with Croire)

they also had spanish duo Baccara representing them



one of their current active singers Luka Kloser


whom made this song for the film Moonfall

she's the daughter of their 1984 Eurovision presenter Desiree Nosbusch :cool:

so whoever represents them in 2024, has big boots to fill and must be someone who can handle the nerves of representing such a powerhouse nation back in ESC's Golden Days

i want to be in Ireland's committee

one artist suggestion from me

Cian Ducrot, to bring us back to the final and a top 5 result potential as well with this vocal superstar

Belgium's act confirmed

actor and singer Mustii

example of his style and live vocals



very Hozier alike :clap1:

only 20 participating countries for 2024

all of the songs MUST be in english, is a new rule by the EBU

why on earth is he standing like that?

what a twat

Are you a liar? Yes you are.
