Can you at least tell us if the singer is male or female? We need more males in this contest. Italy could be the only one.

 

[Milos-BC]

So will it be Serbia 2015?

We will see.........

It is a female.

 

[Leydan]

Seem to be over doing the females this year. :? Maybe Italy is on to the winner with the only male?

 

[BGN]

Actually this year is not something extraordinary when it comes to ration between boys and girls. Every year girls prevail.

What happened at today's Heads of Delegation Meeting? | News | Junior Eurovision Song Contest - Malta 2014
This article speaks about the running order draw, this year will again be mostly decided by the producers, the running order was random in 2013.

•Malta randomly picks its position
•The countries in positions #1 and #16 are picked at random
•The remaining 13 countries choose either ‘First Half’ or ‘Second Half’ at random
•PBS presents the running order, approved by the Executive Supervisor and Steering Group, at the end of the Welcome Reception.

The voting has changed as well!

"Junior Eurovision will revert to the ‘Top 10’ voting system, used previously in both the Junior and adult Eurovision Song Contests prior to 2013. This means that the jury will award points 1-8, 10 & 12 to the songs, whilst the televoting will also do the same. Neither the televoting, nor the jurors, will rank the songs from 1-16.

The tie-break procedure for determining the winner does not change.
Spokespersons will only announce points 8, 10 and 12 on stage. Points 1-7 will appear automatically on the scoreboard – this is to ensure that the show does not over-run."

Oh interesting. Hopefully this may come back to ESC as well.

 

[DanielLuis]

So does this mean the same will be done for eurovision?

They probably want to test it again in Junior ESC, if the results don´t leave any great suspect, it will be reused in ESC again as well, I think

 

[Leydan]

What about how they do the draw order, I wonder if they bring the random pick for first and last position to esc. TBH though I don't really see the point of that...

 

[BGN]

It's because the first and last position are more discussed than others and they decided to define them randomly.

 

[Milos-BC]

Here is the entry :

Maybe I am a bit subjective, but this is just so beautiful And Emilija is a fantastic performer, she has proven that in our version of "I have Talent".

 

[Schlagerman1]

^ I think it is slightly boring But it can work rather well if she is such a great performer as you claim.

 

[SRBIJA]

I love this, great job. I hope she puts an amazing live performance.

 

[nunaney]

Much better than Russia's ballad but I'm a little disappointed because I wanted Serbia to win and this doesn't sound like a winner to me. I hope it can get top 5.

Her voice is great! I'd love to see her in the real Eurovision someday.

 

[Pawhlen]

If it can reduce the hot discussion overall, I´m sure it will be used in Vienna too

 

[Gogerko]

I expected more
But I like the end

 

[nunaney]

Montenegro

Not as bad as I thought it would be. Both Serbia and Montenegro's songs are quickly growing on me.

 

[Gogerko]

So cute
