If more drop out could 2020 JESC not happen? It's an ongoing situation with cases rising so could covid cause more countries to drop out? Even if they previously confirmed? Maybe pre-recorded performances could happen? Surely the EBU won't give up on another contest

 

[EDC0708]

I believe previously a minimum of 12 countries were needed for the event to take place, and we have 12 countries confirmed, it may depend on whether things get better or worse, as cases are climbing in countries such as France and Spain who are taking part. It looks like it is climbing slightly in host country Poland as well. A contest with each country performing from their own country, or having the option to do so, may be the best option.

The NF for Kazakhstan.

• The jury will select 30 songs for the online voting. The voting will take place from August 24 till August 31.
• 12 entries will qualify for the final.
• The televised final will take place on September 26.
• It's 100% televoting in the final. The jury will be involved in breaking the tie only (if it occurs).

^I'm wondering if Darwin just liked their insta post or he wrote a song for someone.
I've heard rumours that ADAM will prepare an entry one more time.

If you talk about qualifying, I wouldn't mind Karyna's entry (a worse version of Alysa Chydzhan). But I hope there will be better ones.

 

[AlekS]

After today's aired footage, imho BTRC should be banned for good.

Preparing for JESC NF & showing tortured youth being forced to repent, to frighten Belarusians, in the same time is a friggen sur.

BTRC news presenter & 7 TV hosts quit (including the host of Belarusian NF)
I predict the EBU's reaction (if any) will be impotent.

What happened?

 

[AlekS]

What happened?

Police beat a group of youth (guys & girls). And then police forced them to repent on video (guys had visibly beaten faces). BTRC showed that video in primetime news trying to scare and threaten Belarusians who haven't joined the protests.

Police/KGB threatened "talked" to oppositional leader for 3 hours right inside the National Election Commission building (in the Head's office), after that she was forced to record a video and move out of the country immediately. BTRC didn't show the truth & fully backed Lukashenko up.

BTRC aired numerous false untrue statements and stories glorifying Lukashenko & bullying 6000 arrested people (who are being held in schools because there's no place left in police departments, lying on the floor in blood & being tortured Guantanamo-style).

BTRC didn't air the info about murdered protesters.

BTRC is totally silent about crimes against humanity commited by police (such as arresting/beating/wounding children, beating pregnant women & elderly people, kidnapping & torturing people right in police departments, using grenades against protesters, shooting random people execution-style).

The channel & its bosses are accomplices of the regime and promote its crimes & threaten Belarusian citizens.

Their 4 TV hosts and 2 radio hosts couldn't take it anymore and quit (even despite the risk for their health & freedom).

Thanks for the info. I have been following this since the election night. I spent the whole night watching a guy in the US who was following it and tweeting links to videos and things. There was a live stream in Minks and you could see the police / army / whoever were attacking people on the streets. Other videos were showing what looked like huge explosions.

It's certainly something the international leaders need to address - people may say their country their laws - but it comes to a point where enough is enough. Sanctions won't work because Putin will just help them out. Forced international effort to hold a legal election?

If North Korea is anything to go by.... nothing will happen

PBC announced the winners of the songwriting competition.

It's a joint collaboration of ADAM (composed our JESC 2018 entry) and Krut' (Vidbir 2020).
They created her Vidbir entry together, so I bet the song will be unusual like 99:

The song will be assigned to a finalist who submitted a cover.

Is it the song that will represent Ukraine ?

 

[AlekS]

No. I posted their collaboration for Vidbir 2020 in February so you could see their style
Their JESC song hasn't been premiered yet. They will give their JESC song to some finalist.
But they have big chances to win our JESC selection.

Most definitely the song will feature electro beats & bandura (the ethno instrument that sounds like harp in that video).

 

[Kam2]

But they have big chances to win our JESC selection.

Considering the fact that the jury, that ADAM has been a part of last year, decides roughly 88.89% of the outcome, I think they’ve already won. In light of this news I expect the likes of Koshova, Politov, Rohalsky and other Voice kids contestants to apply with covers in the next few days.

 

[AlekS]

^ Exactly my thoughts, but I don't exclude the possibility of some sponsor - anything can happen. But such short song submission window for composers implies that they did this NF especially for ADAM & Krut'.

Balabanov will submit his song too.

 

[Kam2]

Apparently Evangelina Zamula will submit her entry once again after, IMHO being brutally underrated last year due to bad audio in the submission video.
