Junior Eurovision 2011 - will it take place?

Andy on Sun, 11/14/2010 - 10:46

Well, the decision has to be taken next week.
ESCKAZ has been trying to investigate, and general mood in Minsk is that Belarus is preparing last Junior Eurovision ever.

In the latest interview executive producer of the Minsk show has mentioned Minsk, Moscow and Yerevan as possible candidates to host. However, speaking today with head of Armenian delegation, we've learnt that Armenian option is not likely at all, due to the costs of show organization.

However, speaking yesterday with Georgia, we've surprisingly learnt, that they have submitted their interest to host the 2011 show to EBU. However, they have received response that first of all, it should be decided whether the show will continue in general (as there seem to be many delegations not interested to continue), and there are several other possible venues discussed.

Moscow is certainly one of them and we will address this question to Russian team, when it will be available for the interview.

Also, delegation of Ukraine has kindly asked to mention that earlier published by website of the First National Channel, does not express the official opinion of the channel, and was published due to technical difficulty, being material of Analitics website. Delegation has expressed hope that the contest will continue in the future years, and as representatives of NTU are members of reference group of the contest, they will support this idea.

Interview with Armenia

Delegation of Belarus has arrived to the hotel early in the morning and we will catch with them later on.

First interview today comes from Armenia

Vladimir came as very shy, but he gets immediately changed when he starts singing. He spoke about her song, saying that this is love song, when boy asks advice from his mother. He said he really prefers when he is alone on the stage, but he is happy with his dancers too. He has already met Bartas, Sonja and Mariam and he prefers to make friends with girls. He is confident in his success, saying he came to Minsk for a victory.

Serbia arrival to Minsk

The last to arrive today was Serbian entrant Sonja Skoric. The Serbian team had met custom problems with their cameraman, so they have stuck in the airport for couple of hours. Anyway, tired but happy Sonja welcomed everyone in hotel and said she is looking forward meeting other contestants. At the same moment, Lithuanian contestants were coming down from the elevator and we have managed to take their joint photo. Sonja's sister Nastasja/Stasa has also arrived in Minsk to support her.

Interviews Georgia

Andy on Sat, 11/13/2010 - 16:27

ESCKAZ took interview with Georgian representative Mariam Kakhelishvili. She appeared to us as shy, but very beautiful and extremely talented girl.

She told that her song is about her, it has name Mari inside, and Dari means good weather in Georgian. She wants to give good emotions with her song, so everybody start dancing and singing. She has informed that song has been created by her together with her producers, and she wanted the song to be first of all catchy and dancy. She loves original costumes created for her by Sasha Prishvin and Marika. She also has enjoyed filming of her first ever music video, though it took two full days, it was very enjoyable. On stage she is joined by her friends from show ballet Vernisazh.

Mariam thinks that today has been the most amazing day in her live - meeting Belarus kids at Friendship classes, who already knew her song by heart, were singing and dancing with her, brought a lot of posters to support her - and it made her feeling like a star. Her biggest wish is not to win the contest, but to introduce music and culture of Georgia to the world.

Mariam also sang for us two songs: Listen and her contest entry Mari Dari.

Famous streaker Catalonian Jimmy Jump managed to fulfil his desire to enter Eurovision stage, invading Spanish entry. He has declared his intention several weeks ago as ESCKaz has reported in our radio diaries but sadly Norwegian organizers failed to prevent the invasion from happening as well as failed to replace the performance with dress rehearsal footage. This will result in Spanish entry being performed again.

Известный сталкер каталонец Джимми Джамп все-таки смог исполнить свое желание попасть на сцену Евровидения, проникнув на нее во время песни Испании. Несколько недель назад он рассказал о подобном намерении, о чем сообщали вам новости ESCKAZ. К сожалению, организаторы шоу в Норвегии не смогли избежать подобного инцедента, и даже не смогли заменить видео выступления на выступление с генеральной репетиции. Это приведет к тому, что номер Испании будет исполнен повторно.

ESCKAZ radio report:

Новую головную боль организаторам конкурса должно добавить заявление известного стрикера Джимми Джампа о том, что он планирует проникнуть на сцену Теленор Арены во время финала конкурса Евровидение и даже попытаться спеть с нее веселую песенку. Напомним, что Джимми Джамп считается одним из самых удачливых стрикеров, специализирующимся в основном на спортивных мероприятиях. Каталонцу уже удавалось проникнуть на поле во время финала чемпионата Европы по футболу в 2004 году и полуфинального матча в 2008 году, а также сделать тоже самое на ряде матчей Лиги Чемпионов, пробежать по стартовой дорожке Испанского гран при, выбежать на поле во время Чемпионата Мира по Регби, и финала Френч Опен по теннису 2009 года. Все эти появления сопровождались некими лозунгами, как например демонстрацией Тибетского флага или швырянием маек в знак протеста против перехода футболистов из одной команды в другую. После Евровидения Джимми отправится на Чемпионат Мира по футболу в Южную Африку.
