JESC 2014

[Romeo]

AI very much doubt it but I want to see Israel return
I think Azerbaijan and San Marino will be back

maybe even another debut..?

Whi knows. But like I said we will have around 15 and people said I was being too optimistic

 

[Jim]

Romania will not return this year...

 

[joancamo]

I don´t think will return, somewhere I read that was last year only as a test for to take part

I also think and will withdraw because of bad results, specially , but who knows, maybe with return and debut as neighbours could persuade them to stay, but otherwise I want back!!!

According to this article, we will know the full list of participants by 15th of August!

I truly hope that will return this year. I don't think that will withdraw from the contest because there are & (countries that can give them high points). I hope to see & as well.

BTW, why did Belgium decide to withdraw? From 2009-2012 they were always in the top 7. :?

Belgium withdraw from Junior Eurovision | escXtra
According to this article it is because the rating for their selection for JESC were higher than the ratings for JESC itself, and they wanted to focus on creating a program for young musicians (although the broadcaster didn't take part in Eurovision Young Musicians either!)

What? :? What's even the point of watching the selection if you don't watch the winner compete? It's not as if the show is like Melodifestival which could stand on it's own as a program without ESC.

For Romania, we knew it. Also for Poland, nobody had given chances...

Is anyone else going to watch Ukraine's national final? It starts in 45 minutes

[nunaney]

I was not a fan of song #1. #2 isn't any better and I don't think their voices blend well together.

I want either #8 or #11 to win.

 

[Mimimatz]

This was my first JESC national final, and believe me: IT WAS ALSO MY LAST! Terrible songs...

 

[nunaney]

It was the longest JESC NF I've ever watched. 18 songs was too much. I think the only other final I will watch is Belarus' final because I really like 3 of their songs.

 

[Leydan]

Damn I missed it. By looks of it, It I didn't miss much then.

Edit: Just opened the livestream, Is it actually still on? :?

 

[nunaney]

I think the winning song is decent enough but I would have preferred something more upbeat.

 

[Leydan]

That's the winner? Obviously trying to replicated Malta, with the song genre.

 

[nunaney]

I don't think it's anything like Gaia's song but I expect there to be a LOT of ballads this year so I really wanted Ukraine to pick an up-tempo song. The next NF is on the 30th. I hope we get some more songs before that. I'm surprised we haven't heard anything from Russia yet.


Here's the winning song for anyone who missed it

 

[Pawhlen]

One thing I noticed was that many of the competing Children hardly ever got any tune right which was very painful to listen to

 

[theCONWEL]

Quite like the song from Ukraine, should do quite well in Malta

 

[Mimimatz]

Mikhail Nekrasov composed the song, he also did "Gravity" and "Show me your love"
