Junior Eurovision 2007

Submitted by skykid on June 27, 2007 – 8:59 pmView Comments

I was surfing today trying to find some more information about the new edition of the song contest Eurovision Junior. For those of you who never heard of it – it is just like the official version of Eurovision – only the contestants are much more talented and cooler. Antonio Jose and Razz – both favorite singers of mine began their careers with participation in the contest.

So what`s new about the 2007 contest – it will be held in Netherlands on 8th of December and will have four more countries making their debut – Armenia, Bulgaria, Georgia and Lithuania – since I am familiar with two of these countries I am afraid that they will not be able to prepare well – as in general the concept of Eurovision Junior is unfamiliar to them – and they will pick some representative using more or less unfair methods ( the son of someone …etc ) instead of making a big contest as this is done in Russia, Spain and the other more established countries that have their representatives at EVJ.

I also read in Wikipedia that the minimum age is now raised from 8 to 10 years – which for me seem like a good decision – and also that the competition will have new logo – but no further information about it is released as of this moment. Also only three participants are known now – but there is time until December – and I will keep you updated – and also you can keep yourself updated by following the wikipedia page of the Junior Eurovision 2007

    I’m kind of sad that Spain withdraw from the EuroJunior contest, I always expected this since Sergio Jesus put spain in the map.

    They have give a lot of kid talent, Sergio, Maria Isabel, Antonio Jesus and Dani.

    But not anymore, I bet some other Spanish TV Station will come up with a singing contest for kids.

    I felt sad too as Spain always had great contesters – hopefully it will rejoin this year as the voting procedure now is different .
