no need for live on tape performances


so a worst case scenario is music videos to be shown and public voting based on those


but everything is being focused on live performances in Paris

there are concerns for kazakhstan entry

before deciding on paris as host city, apparently also Nice and Cannes were host city candidates, its venues which had hosted the adult ESC's of 1959 and 1961 respectively

In response to the exceptional health situation in Europe right now, and to ensure the presence on stage of each of our 19 artists, France Télévisions has decided to only admit an audience to the Live Show of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest on Sunday 19 December.

Those who have booked tickets for the Dress Rehearsal on Saturday 18 December should contact La Seine Musicale directly. They can receive a full refund or transfer their tickets to the Live Show on Sunday 19 December.

a eurovoix interview with the host entry Enzo

Thanks so much for talking to us Enzo, how are you feeling ahead of Junior Eurovision?

Super excited, I have worked so hard so I can’t wait to share all my joy and energy with the audience

You’re no stranger to performing on big stages having participated in The Voice Kids, what was that experience like?

It was an amazing experience, it taught me so much about the music industry and I learned so much from it!!

Not only do you sing but you also play the guitar, what made you decide to start to learn how to play it?

I was inspired by Ed Sheeran. I looked at how well he played guitar and it made me want to be like him.

When and where were you when you found out you would be representing France?

I was at home when the chief or delegation knocked on my door by surprise and announced to me that I will represent France at Junior Eurovision. I was so happy because it’s a dream come true!

You’ll be singing “Tic Tac”, what does the song mean to you?

It means so much to me because it’s a song with a very powerful message which talks about time and how time moves so fast, and that is important to think in the present moment.

interview with Georgia's artist Niko

How does it feel to be representing Georgia in Paris in a week’s time?

I think it is both a great honor and a great responsibility.

What made you decide to apply for Ranina?

First of all, I wanted to test my abilities

How hard has it been to keep it a secret that you won Ranina from filming until it was broadcast?

It was a little bit difficult. I was really looking forward to being declared as the winner on TV, but the rules are rules.

What was the process like for recording your song?

It was time-consuming but at the same time it was the most memorable period as I spent it with my best friends from, Ranina- Gega Shonia, Rati Gelovani and Guga Nadiradze

You’ll be singing “Let’s Count the Smiles”, what is your favorite part of the song?

“If you believe me I believe you. I will sing with you
And the day become wonderful”

Who is your biggest musical idol?

My biggest idols are Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury and Jamiroquai

Finally, what’s one thing about your country that you wished more people knew?

Georgia is one of the homelands of polyphonic folk music.
