ESDM will represent Spain in Malmö

It was the plan of the Spanish broadcaster TVE to send an established artist yet again to the Eurovision Song Contest. On 17 December 2012, it was revealed that the popular band ESDM - El Sueño De Morfeo (Morpheus' Dream) had been internally chosen by broadcaster RTVE to represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013.

On 5 February 2013, the Spanish broadcaster, TVE, published on their website the four songs for consideration to be the Spanish entry performed by ESDM. Two of them are already qualified for the final on the 26th of February and a third one will join them from the remaining two. The voting to choose the third finalist song, in which users can vote only once, will close on the 11th of February, at 12:00. :nail biting:

Moments ago the Spanish television audience and an expert jury decided which song the band ESDM - El Sueño de Morfeo have to sing in Malmö. The winning title is Contigo Hasta El Final (With You All The Way).

MKRTV, the broadcaster from FYR Macedonia, has announced that two of their most popular artists will join forces to represent them at the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö: the Queen of Gypsy music Esma Redzepova-Teodosievska and the popstar Vlatko Lozanoski-Lozano. :?

The official presentation of FYR Macedonia's entry for the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö will be held in Studio 3 of MKRTV at the end of February.

Yesterday (Feb 27), the duo from FYR Macedonia Esma & Lozano presented their entry for Malmö. A video for Macedonia’s entry for the 2013 Eurovision song contest was pulled from YT 24 hours after the song’s launch and a new version of the video is to be produced after complaints from within Macedonia and abroad – the latter over inclusions of images of the nationalistic Skopje 2014 project. Even though the video has been pulled from YT, the original clip is still online elsewhere, including here -> Anon URL

As informed before this was a very open competition and the final result was unexpected and somewhat surprising; Something barely reached the final. Andrius Pojavis will compete in Malmö where he will try to reach the Eurovision Song Contest Final for the third time in a row for Lithuania.

It's pretty good!

Alyona Lanskaya to represent Belarus in Malmö

On 7 December 2012, Belarus was the first country to hold a televised national selection for the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest. In a truly spectacular show, a 50/50 combination of televoting and a professional jury unanimously decided that Alyona Lanskaya (27) will go on to represent the country in Malmö.

Previous experience have shown that in Belarus you can't really rely too much on the result of the national final. Last year Alena Lanskaya won the national final, but ten days later was disqualified. The explanation for why says that the president heard rumours about the composer having bought top points from the jury.

After having recorded some entries for the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest, Alyona Lanskaya made her choice on a hot Latin pop song called Solayoh. We can only hope that she time makes it to Malmö. :worried:

Slovakia, Turkey, Czech Republic, Lichtenstein, Greece, Cyprus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Luxemburg have also dropped out of the contest.
