Tonight: Lithuania kicks off Eurovizija!

Lithuania’s selection begins tonight!

Tonight will see the first Eurovision show of the new year taking place in Lithuania as the national broadcaster LRT kicks off Eurovizija, or to give it it’s full name “Eurovizijos dainų konkurso nacionalinė atranka”.

Much like the full name of the competition the Lithuanian national selections will be one of the longest in 2015, with the song eventually being decided on 14th February and the artist to sing it on 22nd February. If that wasn’t enough for you there will also be a ‘Best of’ show on 28th February and a special concert to present the winner and their entry on 1st March, making ten shows in total.

Tonight we will have the presentation of the twelve artists taking part who will sing covers of international hits in a pre-recorded show. No elimination will take place tonight but the results from tonight will be combined with those of next week’s show to decide the first elimination.

The singers taking part and their songs tonight are;

Edgaras Lubys – Get Lucky (Daft Punk)

Jurgis Bruzga – Locked Out of Heaven (Bruno Mars)

Liepa Mondeikaitė – What a Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong)

Mia – Chandelier (Sia)

Milita Daikerytė – Only Love Can Hurt Like This (Paloma Faith)

Monika Linkytė – Queen of the Night (Whitney Houston)

Neringa Šiaudikytė – Euphoria (Loreen)

Reda Striškaitė – If I Were A Boy (Beyoncé)

Rollikai – Let’s Get Loud (Jennifer Lopez)

Tadas Juodsnukis – Here I Go Again (Whitesnake)

Vaidas Baumila – Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen)

Wilma La – Set Fire To The Rain (Adele)

Next week’s show will see the same artist performing covers of Lithuanian hits.

Czech composer revealed

Ondřej Soukup was confirmed today by his country’s national broadcaster, CT, as the responsible of composing the song which will mark the return of the Czech Republic to the Eurovision Song Contest in May.

The recognised artist graduated from the Prague National Conservatory in 1975 and has played in many jazz and pop groups.

In addition to his local footprint, Soukup has worked as a composer internationally in TV projects (Germany, Austria, UK, Spain) and in the film industry, including writing the soundtrack for an Academy Award winning film, “Kolya”.

Soukup will compose three songs, which he is going to deliver to CT in two weeks. Two additional entries will be submitted by Soukup’s colleagues and then a CT special jury will select the best song as well as an artist to sing it in Vienna. The composer will have no influence in the selection of the artist, as confirmed by Radim Smetana of CT.

London Eurovision Party date revealed

The London Eurovision Party will be back on 26 April 2015. In association with escXtra, the London Eurovision Party will bring some of the artists competing in Vienna (and maybe, like in past editions, an artist from previous contests). Further details, including the venue and first appearing guest will be revealed in mid-January.

As it is now tradition, the London Eurovision Party will open its doors on a Sunday for an evening of performances, catching up with friends and dancing until the early hours of the Monday.

Last year, the lineup included Conchita Wurst, who would eventually go on and win the contest. Will we be hosting the 2015 winner this year as well?

EscXtra will bring you all the updates about the party, including ticket sales, venue and invited guests. You can also visit the official Facebook page here.

Their songs will be presented on New Year’s Eve while their official videos will be aired on January 1 and January 14. The selection process for Eurovision 2015 marks a shift from this year, when GPB selected its representatives internally. The SMS voting has opened (and it’s only 1 song per SIM card allowed). LISTEN TO THE SONGS Eter Beriashvili – If Someone Edvard Meison – We Are Freeeee Gupo “Niutone” – Run Away Nina Sublati – Warrior Misha Sulukhia – One & Only DID YOU KNOW?
