Eurovision Fact #829:

The postcards for the 2025 Junior Eurovision Song Contest were created using AI via the utilization of LUMA AI software, specifically.

In the postcard for the Netherlands, the LUMA AI watermark is clearly seen in the upper right hand corner in slightly transparent writing. This watermark should only be visible on "free" or "lite" subscription tiers which are for "non-commercial use."

MY TOP 17 JESC 2024 ENTRIES

[BEFORE THE FINAL]

Here are my rankings for the 17 entries of 2024 Junior Eurovision Song Contest, few days before the final this November 16th.

P.S.: Its based on my relevance & interest to the song; so, have some respect as possible. I may not be a JESC fan, but I want to also give my share to evaluate the songs in that said contest.

[bettyg196]

Here is what I think about the JESC 2024 entries (possibly a controversial post).

🇲🇰 For a song called Marathon, I expected more energy and power. Despite its banality, it's still nice. Ana & Aleksej sing well and there were good ideas, it's just a lack of execution. Sounds more like a song for the Olympics or European Football Cup than of JESC entry.

🇨🇾 Bop alert ! The dancebreak is nice but not necessary, it's mainly the production and the arrangement that give the strength the song needed. It's the kind of entry that doesn't require vocal effort, so Maria should be fine. Very good song, Cyprus is truly back !

🇺🇦 Winner contender ! Very dynamic song, Artem knows how to perform on stage and will set Madrid on fire. A lot of people will recognise themselves in the lyrics. Biggest weak point : the chorus is repetitive. I usually don't mind, but it spoils the song. Anyway, Ukraine can win.

🇪🇪 Estonian EDM ? YES ! Great choice Estonia ! Love the 90s vibes. There is a lot of potential for JESC. I like Annabelle's deep voice, it's the perfect tone for this song. It could have been an Eesti Laul entry though. It deserves a solid staging. It's either a hit or miss.

🇳🇱 Not original, generic af and overheard. But I don't care. It's simply efficient, catchy and memorable. With a good staging, good vocals and harmony in the band, The Netherlands should finish in the top 10.

🇦🇱 Very good surprise, it's very good for Albania's standards in JESC. Musical tunes remind me of Padam Padam (the Edith Piaf one, not the Kylie Minogue one), don't ask me why. Maybe influences ? Nicol is an excellent singer. I'm not worried about the country's results this year.

🇵🇹 Cancel the contest, we have a winner ! What a beautiful and powerful song ! Goosebumps at every listening. This song is made for Eurovision (junior and senior). Portugal can win this. The question is : Lisbon, Porto or Braga in 2025 ?

Boa sorte é força Victoria !

🇮🇹 Italy is offering us a festive sleepover this year. It's the most original and junior theme entry of the edition, glad to see the country trying something else. Guilty pleasure. Simone deserves a fun staging in the theme of the song. Maybe a return to the top 10 ?

🇸🇲 It's bland. Also, is it autotune we hear in the studio version of the song ? Why ? Idols SM doesn't need it, it ruins the entry. The girl band deserves better. The lyrics don't seem very researched to me, although I don't and can't understand Italian. San Marino won't do well.

🇵🇱 Slightly better than last year's entry, but what the hell happened to victorious Poland in JESC ? Dominik is a talented singer, he deserves a better song. It's not bad, but I'm not sure the online voting and the staging can save Poland from a ranking outside of the top 10.

🇩🇪 Meh. At least, the entry suits for JESC, but it has no originality and flavor. Too generic to stand out from the other songs, easily the worst German entry in this competition. Bjarne sings well though.

🇬🇪 Classic, that's the word for this entry. Too classic for JESC and Georgia's standards. I think even the juries won't be convinced by this song, even with a good staging. It's a shame because the melody is beautiful and Andria has a beautiful voice.

🇦🇲 Winner contender ! Bop alert ! This cosmic disco entry can steal the show. Armenia has once again understood the assignment. Leo could have the same fate than Lissandro in 2022. Great song !

🇮🇪 After 2 years of Irish ballads, Ireland is sending a pop song that could have been in the Irish NF for adult Eurovision. Quite generic but it's okay overall and Enya sings well. Normally, it shouldn't finish in the bottom with the adequate staging.

🇲🇹 It's really nice. It's not original and impactful, but the juries will like it. Ramires is a great singer, his singing is pleasant to hear and his voice attracts attention. This is, imo, the main outsider of JESC this year. Malta will do better than expected.

🇪🇸 Quite similar to the only winning Spanish entry in JESC, it's almost its spiritual sequel. It's a very funny, catchy and memorable song, Chloe's personality is its main strength. However, it's a controversial opinion, I don't feel the winner vibes. It's giving top 5 at best.

🇫🇷 France is trying something else, that colourful pop song is more aimed at teenagers. It could have been a theme song for a teen drama show. Titouan is a great singer, it's a very nice and catchy entry. But like for Spain, it's not a winner contender imo, top 3 at best.

Here is my top 17

BREAKING: Ireland Has Chosen!

Earlier today, Ireland hosted their National Final, which chose the song that they will send to Junior Eurovision. And now, they've become the penultimate song in our 17 song lineup for Madrid this November.

Ireland is sending Enya Cox Dempsey and the song "Le Chéile" (translating to "Together") to represent them at Junior Eurovision. It's a fun pop anthem with vocal flair which (since I'm watching the National Final Performance). It will for sure be a performance to watch when we reach Madrid on November 16!

Can you believe we have only ONE song left?

[juuret]

At least it's not france again i guess

Why are you allowed to vote for your own country? That just disadvantages smaller countries

Eurovision Fact #832:

According to Ana María Bordas, Executive Producer of Junior Eurovision 2024 and head of the Spanish delegation at Eurovision and Junior Eurovision, the choice to use AI in the postcards was made by the artistic direction team. The idea was then approved by the Junior Eurovision Song Contest Steering Group which "oversees the contest and is formed of representatives of the participating broadcasters and EBU."

Bordas states that the focus of the show would be on the children and their "digital environment" which is why they decided to “innovate by including avatar-type AI images."

A third party company, Creative Works London, was contracted to make the postcards. However, AI was present in other parts of the contest, too, including the backgrounds of the nation's stagings.

We Are the Children

A performance of "We Are the World" was seen on stage during Junior Eurovision 2023, advocating for a message of the singular word "Peace"

Mere weeks later, Israel's participation in Eurovision 2024 was announced.

Eurovision cannot use children to sing a message of "peace" without looking at those who cannot live in peace. Please consider watching this video and continuing to spread the message. We will not look away from the children and families suffering at the hands of the Israeli violence being funded by American dollars.
