- Vlada Ahundova
- Tofig Hajiyev

- Sarkhan Jafarov
- Narmin Karimbayova
- Elvin Novruzov
- Rilaya Huseynzadeh
- Leman Dadasheva

While these names will not be household to most Eurovision fans, a YouTube video showing a comparison of the artists can be found on Azeri fan channel 12xal, and as seen below. Many thanks to 12xal for the video!
