TONIGHT: Slovenia reveals Eurovision 2021 entry as Sweden and Portugal continue search

Tonight is by no means the Euro-feast we were treated to last weekend, but less is more, and we wouldn’t want to over-indulge!

Slovenia will become the latest country to reveal their song for the contest in a special show this evening, with Sweden and Portugal concluding the semi-final stages of their competitions tonight. Here’s everything #YOU need to know before the shows this evening!

PORTUGAL – Festival da Canção Semi-Final 2 (22:07 CET)

The ten acts competing in the second semi-final are;

1. Da Chick – I Got Music

SLOVENIA – EMA 2021 Special (20:00 CET)

Slovenia’s EMA takes on a different guise this year, with the artist already chosen and the song ready and waiting to be revealed. Ana Soklič will return for Slovenia after she was unable to go to Eurovision 2020, but there is still a degree of mystery surrounding exactly how her entry for Rotterdam will sound. All we know is that it’s not a ballad, uses pre-recorded backing vocals and it’s in English!

All will be revealed tonight in a special edition of the annual selection show EMA, with Slovenia’s 2018 representative Lea Sirk and TV personality Nejc Šmit co-hosting proceedings tonight. The show will also be celebrating 60 years of Slovenian involvement in the Eurovision Song Contest, dating back to the 1961 debut of Yugoslavia in the contest.

Christer Björkman is joined by guest hosts Per Andersson, a Swedish actor, & five-time Melfest participant Pernilla Wahlgren in tonight’s show.
