EUROVISION 2025 NEWS - Participants list, Adonxs for Czechia, Montenegro drama, ESC Code of Conduct

[@filip_kortan]

as for ADONXS, he is the best singer, vocally, from Czechia for last few years so I hope the song will be great. Czech broadcaster said that they are aiming for top 5 spot, so I'm really hyped

[@iAvrilFan1]

For Croatia, Marko Bošnjak and Nipplepeople are artists to watch out for! As well as lesser known artists, we are hopeful someone will pull a Baby Lasagna again from being completely unknown to being a superstar

[@eurovisionhistories]

Just realized Spokojan has been in my playlist for a long time!

[@mia-oq6qf]

magazin as well, they are one of the best and the most known bands in croatia

[@luka7678]

As a Croatian, from the participants, we should focus on Nipplepeople and Magazin. Nipplepeople will for sure bring something original and fun but for Magazin im little bit torn, I think that the song will be hit or miss. They were one of the biggest groups in Balkans in the late 20th century but not so much anymore.

[@eurovisionhistories]

Thanks for letting us know. I will try to check them out

[@luka7678]

@ Youre welcome! Thank you for your content and the effort you put in it. I recommend ‘Sutra’ and ‘Frka’ from Nipplepeople and forgot to say that Magazin got new lead singer this year and she participated in Dora 2019 (won 2nd place) and 2020 I think

[@nikolag.-rb5ql]

About Dora, I'm the definitely the most excited about Nipplepeople. They are very unique from the beginning, which is good for the ESC. The only thing we know about them that they are male-female electropop duo, but nobody knows their identity cause they always performing masked. I really hope that they won't flop. Other ones which could bring something good imo are EoT (rock/metal band, with 2 ex-Manntra members, which is also Baby Lasagna's ex band) and Lelek (ethno). We have some established names in lineup like Luka Nižetić, Marko Tolja, Marko Bošnjak (runner up in 2022) and ESPECIALLY Magazin (one of the most famous bands in Croatia, now with new lead singer Lorena Bućan, who was also runner up in Dora. They were actually at Eurovision, but in 1995 with song Nostalgija and were very good, 6th), but right now I really don't know if any of them are right choice for ESC. But yes, majority of artists are young artists, quite unknown to Croatian audience. Cheers from Croatia🇭🇷

[@Cestvache]

It is wonderful that there are so many young artists applying.

[@gothiclight8048]

Love the embedded video content within the video!

[@iryna_s]

Not only Ziferblat. YAGODY from last year's Vidbir will also participate.

[@IntegrationChaos]

+ Fiïnka from Vidbir 2023

[@silencestation557]

Only 22 weeks left... I'd say it's almost here 🙂 Time flies so fast

[@kostask8866]

Montenegro might actually have a chance to qualify now!!.Glad for them.

[@gothiclight8048]

Excited for Lithuania’s selection because it really isn’t far away!

[@michelsennett5375]

So glad to hear about the Code of Conduct from the EBU. It may not clear all the political expressions from the artists but I hope it gives a signal to those who go beyond performing their song. ( like a 'just shut up and sing' action). I am glad the artists can finally rehearse in peace. I, as a fan ,want to be surprised when I see these performances for the first time live or in TV.! Too bad about Montenegro. All that time and money spent on a winner that withdrew. Folks must do better in background checking!

[@diekommentarekommentiererin]

Ich bin sehr glücklich, dass wir erstmals 38 Teilnehmer haben. Endlich wieder ausgeglichene Semis zum ersten Mal seit 2017, ganze acht Jahre. 3:55 10 Punkte. Baryak hat die 12 bekommen. 5:50 Ja, da bin ich auch skeptisch... 9:12 Du hast Francesco Gabbani vergessen, oder hab ich was überhört? 10:05 Und Albanien. 11:35 Außer denen, die bereits in den Kommentaren erwähnt wurden (Yagody & FIINKA): Krylata & Teslenko waren im Wildcard-Voting letztes Mal und Khayat war 2020 ein großer Fanfavorit. Das müssten dann alle sein. 11:55 Wurde nicht der 8. Februar anvisiert? Irgendwie scheinen das alle vergessen zu haben. 12:50 Dieses Mal ist es auch wirklich DER Kurt Calleja und nicht der andere 😄 13:00 Mit Jessika (San Marino 2018)

[@craigpacker7171]

The Code of Conduct is a really nice idea. But it's just another piece of paper if it is not uniformly enforced.

[@LiverpoolEurovision]

Love Montenegro song. Look forward to hear ALL 38 songs

[@IskraInEagle]

I would have liked to see Fenksta in the main draw, he is a 2nd substitute at the moment. Let’s hope for the best! Out of all the artists from the main list of participants, I am hoping Nipple People and EoT come with good songs

[@lucasspace22]

Festival i Këngës 63 songs are also already out for Albania

[@nolbol1754]

Yes this time it's the real Kurt Calleja taking part but I don't think he will win they only released 30 seconds snipped songs I know the full song isn't out yet I think it should be Kantera or Adria Twins to represent Malta

[@MrsKoldun]

In Serbia 🇷🇸 half of the field are actually national final returnees, some even from 00s Beovizija.

[@eurovisionhistories]

Oh thanks for letting us know. Gotta admit I only recently started following Pezma

[@Vhmvd]

So half of the lineup with dated songs!

[@gothiclight8048]

I didn’t know that

[@AlbertHernandezTorne]

I think you forgot to mention that the 30 songs for Albania's FiK were already released on last week's friday

[@eurovisionhistories]

I did... Sorry about that

[@BritInvLvr]

I prefer To Ijubav Je by Ðurda to Nina’s song.

[@aijamberisabel]

You really should do a national final review for both Eesti Laul and Supernova. Both of them are very good imo.

[@gothiclight8048]

Will they also make it mandatory to attend all rehearsals and preview shows do you think? Because I don’t think this was mentioned anywhere

[@Ararechan74]

Everyone! Class is back in session! 22 weeks til Finals! Happy to hear you again!

[@GLee-sy7ek]

Sheppard, who has previously competed in Australia Decides and in internal selection process has announced a European tour just before ESC 2025. Is this a coincidence?

[@pansmile9158]

Eurovision Histories, with Espresso Macciato's video's title is sarcasm not confidence.

[@gothiclight8048]

You didn’t mention Francesco Gabbani being a former artist if I remember

[@gothiclight8048]

I really wanted Let 3 for a third time too! ŠČ!

[@gothiclight8048]

Imagine if 2012 Kurt Kalleja still doesn’t return and it’s just the same one from last year!

[@Vhmvd]

Montenegro is giving Ukraine a run for their money… doing the drama 😂😂

[@Esclore]

Does anyone know when the odds will come online again?

[@Eurovision_obsessed]

No FiK mention?

[@blue_eyed_aries]

I wonder which country with debut next or return next

[@LiverpoolEurovision]

I would love for another country to be invited like Australia. More songs the better .

[@blue_eyed_aries]

@ USA? It’s an associate ebu member

[@ManuelIbarra-i5o]

I heard something of an Latin American Eurovision

[@filip_kortan]

probably North Macedonia or Bulgaria are most likely to return

[@gothiclight8048]

Hopefully we will see no spreading of misinformation this time!

[@gothiclight8048]

Perhaps now Slovakia will return soon if Czechia do well perhaps they will be convinced.

[@filip_kortan]

not really sure about montenegrin Q

[@danutawegorz9374]

please can you continue the series about old editions?🙏🙏🙏

[@Ararechan74]

+1 please! I think we are at 1970! (Yes I am keeping track)

[@eurovisionhistories]

I haven't forgotten that but still some issues to resolve

[@zhenia2511]

Will you be covering any of the national finals? I understand if more Swedi-pop selections aren't your cup of tea, but I'm interested in hearing your opinions on any of the more experimental entries. You're my go-to guy when it comes to this stuff.

[@eurovisionhistories]

I would like to. Depends on how much time I have

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

Not sure how ADONXS will do. He’s a good singer and has some good songs, but there’s a worry he learns too much into the ‘gay activist’ side and goes over the top or focuses on politics rather than the music. There’s also the fear of the ‘Mustii Effect’ where the song is a favourite but becomes destroyed by poor staging, lighting or camera angles.

[@irenedavies144]

I am really concerned about Tommy Cash. His music videos and his IG account are filled with some disturbing images and I'm not just talking about nudity. I have no problem with nudity I'm an adult after all and my favourite singer Michał Szpak even is naked on his last Album . These images I'm talking about to me are very disrespectful and yeah I'm saying they are disgusting. I find this song a bit on the racist side . Sorry to be so negative but that's what I feel.

[@TheManInBlueFlames]

I had problems with the nudity thing but looking at his latest song there is no indication of that will be involved in his performance or music videos. Cash is a performance artist but will most likely be disqualified if he tried anything like this.

[@irenedavies144]

​@@TheManInBlueFlamesyes EBU will not allow anything disgusting like his normal stuff which I am really thankful for but still I can't get over what I've seen.
