The BBC has confirmed it will participate in Junior Eurovision 2023 in Nice, France this November.

Its not clear yet whether it will be an internal selection like last year or whether it will be via a National Final.

Honestly, I can't see them doing a National Final. They might do an NF as a pilot for doing that for the main contest, but I think they are gonna keep it in-house for the time being.

I think Lee Smithurst hinted at doing a NF for JESC in the future.

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

For the first time ever, all the big 5 countries will perform in the same edition of Junior Eurovision. It never happened before in the history of the competition.

NF maybe next year if Lee has hinted at it?

This year I wouldn't think so? Unless its in the works....

Apparently they've had a song shortlisted, I assumes it's not for them because they're not kids. They don't confirm it's for the UK, but i'll take a shot in the dark and say it is.

They just played a snippet. Apparently it’s a girl group (3?) . One is called Maisie. It starts off talking/harmony then suddenly changes to pipes and a thumping beat. They will play it in full later, after her show and on the next one (Vernon) sometime. Dont know why they couldn’t play the full track because they waste a lot of time talking crap.

Its out on spotify already.

Seems like its going down really well.

That feels incredibly flat tbh

I disagree about it being flat, its actually quite catchy, I do like the flute sounding parts, I feel that stands out.

Overall its a very good song, and I think its going to be in the top 5, whether it goes better than that or not depends on the staging imo.

Seems like the reaction has generally been very positive.

Here is "Back to Life" by STAND UNIQU3 in its entirety via its official music video.

It isn't as good as I'd hoped... not horrendous by any means but just not great

It will do well imo, its a very ballad heavy year so I think it probably makes our song stand out a bit more.

It terms of staging its been confirmed Dan Shipton is doing the staging again this year at JESC, like last year.

 

[shameless]

If this doesn't get another top 5 I would say it's robbed tbh.

 

[Looren]

Decent song, I like the flute parts a lot

 

[ESCConor]

If this doesn't get another top 5 I would say it's robbed tbh.

I think a top 5 is a real possibility, feel its in within a chance of winning if the staging and live performance is right.

This is a really weak year. I think this could do well depending on performance. But the song is weak as Biden. After Freya I was expecting another amazing song. Last year should have been a U.K. win until Freya got ill and couldn’t perform properly.

I’m still amazed how France beat Armenia last year

 

[Romeo]

I’m looking forward to seeing them tomorrow on CiN and on strictly on Sunday… it will give me an idea as to how good the performance and staging will be
