JESC 2010 - Minsk

[AlekS]

There are rumors that Azerbaijan will participate so it's 10.

 

[Milos-BC]

I think Serbia could withdraw as well. RTS didn't show any interest for it this year, and at this point last year, they opened the deadline for the song submission.

We'll see.

Svante arrived to Minsk today.

This is what he said:

"I can say for sure that JESC will not repeat EDC's fate. I don't want to name the exact amount of participants, let's wait a little. We will announce everything".

Lena and Alexander Rybak were invited as special guests.

Australia and New Zealand will broadcast JESC 2010.

 

[AlekS]

Ukrainian NF is set on August 1.

It will be hosted by kiddies' resort ARTEK (in Crimea) just like last year.
Preparations will be more professional and intense though. They will study with vocal trainers, choreographers and visagists.

Moldova is intending to debut at JESC this year. No specific information are available yet but they are in talks with the EBU as apparently they're already past the deadline to submit an entry.

Too bad that so many great countries withdrew in the past years. Spain always was in top 5 and I still don't know the reason they withdrew. Such a shame.

 

[Milos-BC]

Yep, Serbia confirmed participation today.

It's not known if we will chose internally or there will be an NF yet.

But to me personally, the first option is more likely.

 

[dulchew]

Yeah, but it wouldn't be very accepted in the Serbia...
Even though it's a best way.
I just hope that we'll send a great song, just as when we sent Nevena... And we didn't won... :x

 

[KARO]

Azerbaijan will not participate this year, today talked with Husniyya she confirmed...

 

[Matt]
