It’s seems to be Royal Caribbean (the accounts have followed each other).

Y’all ready?

 

[Lucille]

Maybe it’s PAEDO ISLAND on a PR BLITZ.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

It would have been quite exciting, but does any channel in the Caribbean show Eurovision?

 

[Lucille]

Fronted by what remains of LITTLE SUSAN.

Can't wait for them to flog luxury cruises with on-board entertainment consisting of Daz Sampson, Aistė Smilgevičiūtė and an ENI tribute band

Wait this is giving me vague memories of SOME national final interlude live from a CRUISE. OR DID I DREAM THAT?

 

[Dark Carnival]

Im going crazy

That was during Sanremo they would occasionally pass over to a cruise ship for no discernable reason

 

[Lucille]

Much of Sanremo feels like a fever dream but I also vaguely recollect an INTERLUDE AT SEA.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Phew! That explains it.

Presumably the Costa Concordia?

The DREADED budget again

Imagine what it must be like trying to raise a PO at a Balkan national broadcaster

That said, I'm pretty sure one year Montenegro took out was because they chose to replace the execs' Mercedes company car fleet with the budget instead

Could a generous soul start up a Eurovision calender/ timetable with dates and times links etc?

I'm using this as my guide which contains all the dates/times/links etc.

A couple of persistent rumours presented here out of interest (and the fact that a large number of Twitter rumours actually turned out right last year):

Armenia - Ladaniva


Austria - Kaleen


Kaleen's partner is Marvin Dietmann, the man who designed most of the past few ESC stages

 

[VoR]

Hoping the Ladaniva rumours are true and Armenia are finally going back to the ethnic banger well.

I was on the Austrian pre selection jury. We had to sign an NDA. That’s about all I can say.

Does this not breach your NDA?

 

[Kala]

We are allowed to say we were on the panel but that’s all.

 

[Kala]

Anyway the song and artist is being revealed next week. It will be interesting to see where I ranked the song that they eventually chose.

 

[Madison]

But you just disclosed you signed an NDA and some of the terms of that NDA.

 

[GNL]

Tell us more!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Kala:

 

[Madison]

Bit harsh.

 

[Kala]

But you just disclosed you signed an NDA and some of the terms of that NDA.

Which specifically we we were permitted to mention we were on the panel but nothing else.

I’m not mentioning about the artist or the song or the process.

Does Australia have a winner? Answer with a meme.

Austria. And I don’t know which song was chosen.

 

[Suomi]

I was on that panel too and will be revealing everything at 7pm CET tonight

I was on the Austrian pre selection jury.

Ok so we know Austria are sending a female. Can't wait for the male acts to file their sex discrimination claims...

 

[VoR]

Kala won

 

[HalamaK]

"Austria: A female singer will fly to Malmo!"

 

[GNL]

Kala won

Israel: Eurovision Song Reveal to Take Place in Late February / Early March

The song that will represent Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, is set to be revealed in late February or early March.

Going right to the wire on this one. I'm mildly surprised they're still ploughing ahead with the talent show as their format.

More rumours which seemingly have basis (reported fairly widely in the Danish press) - both Basim (Denmark 2014, "Cliché Love Song") and Aura Dione (had quite a few hits about a decade ago across the continent) are in Dansk Melodi Grand Prix.
