Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2011

Written by spiller. Posted in Junior Eurovision Song Contest

Tonight at 19:30CET (18:30 Irish Time) the 9th Junior Eurovision Song Contest will get under way in Yerevan, Armenia. 13 countries have entered this years competition.

The youth version of the contest is quiet interesting as the participants, all aged between 10 and 15, must write the song as well as well as perform it at the contest, though since 2008 adults are allowed help. Also the song must be in one of the National Languages of the participant countries.

The Contest started in 2003 and in total 28 countries have taken part. Many countries have withdrawn from the contest, but unlike the ill-fated Eurovision Dance Contest, this looks set to survive.

So who is going for the title tonight?

13 countries have sent participants to this years contest and they are as follows (In running order):

  1. Russia: Katya Ryabova – “Kak Romeo i Dzhulyetta” (Romeo and Juliet. Youtube
  2. Latvia: Amanda Bašmakova – “M?ness suns” (Moondog) Youtube
  3. Moldova: Lerica – “No No” Youtube
  4. Armenia: Dalita – “Welcome to Armenia” Youtube
  5. Bulgaria: Ivan Ivanov - ”Supergeroy” (Superhero) Youtube
  6. Lithuania: Paulina Skrabyte - ”Debesys” (Clouds) Youtube
  7. Ukraine: Kristall – “Evropa” (Europe) Youtube
  8. Macedonia: Dorijan Dlaka – “Žimi ovoj frak” (I Swear by this Tailcoat) Youtube
  9. Netherlands: Rachel – “Ik ben een Teenager” (Teenager) Youtube
  10. Belarus: Lidiya Zabolotskaya – “Angely dobra” (Angels of Goodness) Youtube
  11. Sweden: Erik Rapp – “Faller” (Falling) Youtube
  12. Georgia: CANDY – “Candy Music” Youtube
  13. Belgium: Femke – “Een kusje meer” (One more Kiss) Youtube
Just like the regular Eurovision, voting will open after all the acts have performed and points will be awarded in the usual fashion (12, 10, 8-1). The points will be decided by 50% Jury and 50% Televoting.
There may be a live blog later… The show will be live streamed on JuniorEurovision.tv
