Η Eurovision επέστρεψε και, ενδεχομένως, μεγαλύτερη από ποτέ.
Με την επιτυχία των εν ενεργεία νικητών Maneskin στο Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο και σε ολόκληρο τον κόσμο, ξαφνικά υπενθύμισε σε όλους τι κάνει τη Eurovision τόσο σημαντική – είναι ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα και πιο άμεσα στάδια για να βάλεις έναν καλλιτέχνη στη διεθνή σκηνή.
Καθώς η Eurovision κατευθύνεται στο Τορίνο τον Μάιο του 2022, αποκαλύπτουμε κάθε χώρα και κάθε ηθοποιό που συμμετέχει στον διαγωνισμό.
Πότε πραγματοποιείται η Eurovision 2022;
Οι φετινοί ημιτελικοί της Eurovision ξεκινούν στις 10 Μαΐου, με τον Μεγάλο Τελικό να προβάλλεται στις 14 Μαΐου. Ο διαγωνισμός μεταφέρεται στο Τορίνο της Ιταλίας για το 2022 μετά τη νίκη του Maneskin το 2021.
Ως συνήθως, είναι ένα πραγματικό χωνευτήρι έμπνευσης.
Κάποια τραγούδια είναι φυσικά πολύ μοντέρνα και ηλεκτρονικά, κάποια έχουν σαφώς εμπνευστεί από ένα συγκεκριμένο ιταλικό ροκ συγκρότημα και άλλα είναι απλά… εντελώς μοναδικά, θα το πούμε έτσι.
Ποιος φιλοξενεί τη Eurovision 2022;
Για τους βρετανούς θεατές θα υπάρχει ένα πολύ αναγνωρίσιμο πρόσωπο στη σκηνή της Eurovision. Ο αστέρας της ποπ Μίκα (αυτός της φήμης Γκρέις Κέλι) συμμετέχει στον τελικό, μαζί με τη Λάουρα Παουσίνι και τον Αλεσάντρο Κατέλαν.
Αν νομίζετε ότι αυτό είναι μεγάλο τυχαίο – ο Mika είναι ένα πολύ γνωστό όνομα στην Ιταλία, όπου αυτή τη στιγμή μένει στην κριτική επιτροπή για την ιταλική έκδοση του X Factor.
Ποιες χώρες δεν συμμετέχουν στη Eurovision 2022;
Ανδόρα, Βοσνία-Ερζεγοβίνη, Ουγγαρία, Λουξεμβούργο, Μονακό, Σλοβακία, Τουρκία, Καζακστάν, Λευκορωσία, Κόσοβο και Λιχτενστάιν.
Η Ρωσία απομακρύνθηκε από τη Eurovision μετά την εισβολή της στην Ουκρανία.
