BREAKING: Junior Eurovision Song Number 1

With the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Madrid coming in less than 2 months, we should start to expect news about the songs sooner rather than later. While some of the 17 countries have artists and songs announced (Germany even having a snippet like last year), France has chosen their artist, and released their song, being the first to do so this year.

After winning it all in Nice last year, France is sending Titouan to Madrid with the song "Comme Ci, Comme Ça." Of course, like any Eurovision song that comes out on this blog, I'm going to check it out.

This song starts off as a ballad, but by the first chorus, it sparks to life and explodes with energy. I feel it shows that France is ready to play this year and defend not just their win, but also a chance to win 3 Junior Eurovisions in a row; which hasn't been done yet!

[rapha-reads]

Heu, I didn't know we won Junior Eurovision! Nice! Hey, Kids United, we found a new member for the third (or is it fourth?) generation!

(joke only French people will get, lmao)

[a-curious-studyblr]

27/11/23 - I had a long weekend off work and I had a sudden little holiday to Nice and Monaco with my family! I haven't been on a plane for 4 years due to covid 😬 so it was really nice to go somewhere again. Naturally, I decided to write my weekly language journal in French about the trip 😂

[guysofeurovision]

Can you Give us your top 16 of this year's jesc, king? And do you think Italy will do well?

UNITED KINGDOM (it was love at first listen: this blondie is so sassy it hurts, she will kill it on stage)

2. ARMENIA (always liking the Armenian language and these KPOP sound and vocals are just YES, GO GIRL)

3. NORTH MACEDONIA (oh heck, this is my absolute GUILTY PLEASURE: I suddenly wanna grab an umbrella and start silly dancing in the street)

4. NETHERLANDS (the energy of this kid is amazing: the sound is quite cheap but dammit, it's gonna be BELLISSIMO, let's enjoy la festa)

5. ITALY (she's a bit stiff but voice and funny song could land her in the top 5, not top 3 -I guess)

6. POLAND (a good dance tune is always welcome, especially when it comes from Poland at JESC)

7. GEORGIA (this is simply good, well produced and sung)

8. IRELAND (young Isla Fisher playing Titanic in the wind: I'm loving it)

9. KAZAKHSTAN (surely one of the most enjoyable ballads this year)

10. MALTA (nice bop but it's not special for me)

11. UKRAINE (Ok, they could have sent nothing different from this, I know and I get it, but I just don't fancy this entry, beside the message behind it. All my love to Ukraine, always and anyway ❤️)

12. SPAIN (always Spain playing cheap Spain...)

13. FRANCE (the kid is fun but I HATE this sonority)

14. ALBANIA (such a sweet girl but high notes are not everything in life)

15. SERBIA (I usually love a honest melancholic Balkan sound, but this is too sad and lacking drama)

16. PORTUGAL (there's something so off about this kid playing wasted...)

Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2022 countdown: 14 days left!

Oh Maman! - Lissandro, France 🇫🇷 [x]

[b-exie]

junior eurovision 2022 could have been amazing 'n shit but nooooo France had to win again✋🙄

[weaversweek]

Last week's Junior Eurovision was quite the success.

A great night for Lissandro, who won.

A magnificent showing for Sophie Lennon, bringing pride to TG4 and the Gaeltacht.

Freya Skye topped the viewer vote. She was welcomed like a conquering hero on Blue Peter, led the singing like a pro.

The home crowd welcomed Rosa Linn, their own conquering hero.

All these, and more, in what is always my favourite Week of the year.

[lu-does-eurovision]

No way France won... 😕😑

HEROES: Junior ESC 2023

Personally, Junior Eurovision is an abomination that creeps me out and make my poor ears bleed. That said there are songs in the Senior Eurovision that do that also (yes - I'm looking at Iru who consequentially came from the Juniors and won with Candy).

While there are entries that are travesties and screechy, there is sometimes quality as well. Needlessly you watch and sometimes a song sticks and you have it on your playlist: I still listen to 'Shut up' from Belgium and Antes Muerta Que Sencillas from Spain. And of course what seems great in a film could be a squealing disaster on the night.

So let's see what we have this year:

ALBANIA: Viola Gjyzeli - Bota Ime

Interesting entry from Albania that could be their best entry ever or a crashing mess. It has potential depending on the staging and Viola's vocal. The film is pleasant without going overboard with colourful lighting on trees.

ARMENIA: Yan Girls - Do it my way

The Armenian entry is a pack of girls with a modern hard hitting entry. This could do well; choreography is ready, the outfits will be flashy and it will be attractive to the children voting. May be a bit repetitive.

ESTONIA: Arhanna - Hoiame Kokku

This is the first Estonian song in the Juniors. The film says that it's about friendship, but hidden within is maybe something more Sappho-ic. The song does not sound interesting or memorable for me.

FRANCE: Zoé Clausure - Coeur

Defending champ nation has an interesting peppy entry that will present well, but not win. I think they will place her behind a piano for some of it and I expect there will be a dancer of some sort.

GEORGIA: Anastasia and Ranina - Over the sky

Now this could be interesting. There are three of them and while it is crediting Anastasia as the lead, the other two put in the work too. The harmonies are very nice and the song is a gentle lullaby of a song. The video is more a loopy trip than a film.

GERMANY: Fia - Ohne Worte 

I read Fia's story on the Juniors website and I am a little emotional half way through the song. It was unexpected. I don't know if it will do well, but I was engaged by seeing Fia and her sister, and the signing makes sense. I do hope it does better than expected.

IRELAND: Jessica McKean - Aisling

Gaelic always seems to give a song some whimsy and that's were this has gone. Children will not appreciate the beauty of this ballad. I'm sure that it will be presented nicely on the stage. I'm not sure if last year's Irish entrant will also be appearing, but it worked.

ITALY: Melissa and Ranya - Un Mondo Giusto

I don't know about this one. I'm not getting it. One of them has a better voice than the other and there are points where I expect there will be Italian yelling vocals which I'm not a fan of.

MALTA: Yulan - Stronger

This song is interesting as this could be a major moment of the night or a let down. Yulan seems like someone who can perform and if she can pull it off could go well for them.

NETHERLANDS: Sep & Jasmijn - Holding On To You

Another modern number with synth elements. I guess it will come down to chemistry on stage, if they can sing and dance, but I like it. I think it has good lyrics and a good beat.

NORTH MACEDONIA: Tamara Grujeska - Kaži Mi, Kaži Mi Koj

The introduction goes for almost 30 seconds and I was wondering if she would begin singing at all. For me, it is too much moan-singing and because of that I don't like it. Don't think it will finish highly.

POLAND: Maja Krzyżewska - I Just Need A Friend

Poland has had a good run lately. This could do well depending on styling, performance and choreography etc. Not sure if it will with though.

PORTUGAL: Júlia Machado - Where I Belong

A very quiet song, but maybe a very personal song. It has no sparkle to make it stand out so I don't expect a high place for this one.

SPAIN: Sandra Valero - Loviu

Hmm. It's an upbeat number which has the kind of feeling you expect from a little girl singing. Her voice could be annoying if she sings higher. Simple enough that it could score well.

UKRAINE: Anastasia Dymyd - Kvitka

A very young girl singing an age appropriate song. It's a bit repetitive and simple but it's okay to listen to.

UNITED KINGDOM: STAND UNIQU3 - Back To Life

This one will do well. There is a lot of space for choreography and vocals. The sound of the song is different to everything else sounding almost like a 1930s swing number.

Who will win is anyone's guess. I'd maybe put my money behind Malta, Armenia or Georgia and the UK as a dark horse. I may be completely wrong.

The Day We Waited For: Aijamisespava Watches Junior Eurovision!

Believe it or not, I was originally not slated to watch Junior Eurovision this year. It landed on the same weekend that I would be home for Thanksgiving (because America), and I thought my family would have something planned. But they moved things around (and so did fate) and I ended up watching Junior Eurovision on my living room couch!

I will start by saying that all 16 performers did an excellent job and that they were all worthy winners. France deserved the win (and it was such a nailbiting end between France and Spain). And now, France has both matched Poland as one of the countries to go back to back (not to mention 3 wins in 4 years) AND has essentially become a JESC Superpower.

I had so much fun watching, and I am (mostly) happy with the results (my winner finished 2nd last...). Plus, my sister joined me and got to see the world of Eurovision too! While we both voted for Estonia, claiming it as our winners, she voted for Italy and Albania while I voted for the United Kingdom and Armenia.

So I guess that does it for the Junior Eurovision season! I'll be back part time next year when the songs start to come out again, and I look forward to it!

Congrats Zoé and France for winning today, and we look forward to seeing what comes up next year in...likely France!
