[MATURE] +15 KISSES AND DANCIN NSFW

lol @ my clickbait

So The Netherlands has picked their Junior Eurovision song by the latest girl group in Dutch pop music called Kisses with their song - Kisses And Dancin.

Kom op kom op. Dance he.

Kom op kom op. Move your body.

Sadly, we have only a snippet but it's enough to show you the cute and catchy potential Kisses can provide.

(WARNING: THIS IS SUGARY BUBBLEGUM POP, DON'T CATCH DIABETES!)

Kisses!

I personally love this song. The first play of it made my smile lines touch my eyelashes... I was grinning that hard! I'd love to see the performance!

DRAMA AT JUNIOR EUROVISION!!!

Oh please, think of the children!

Junior Eurovision Drama has BEGUN! Slovenia dropped out, no more televoting and other format changes, Russian NS held in Crimera...

And Albania hasn't even choosen their song yet... :o

Junior Eurovision is the adult Eurovision.

So... Russia's Gonna Win

Russia' s gonna win. Accept it. It's a great entry with a catchy song and very high tech staging

Now on to Junior Eurovision 2016 in Malta! I predict an Irish, Dutch, or Georgian win. Lemme hit up Wikipedia for the list of countries...

There's supposed to be 18 countries but only these 6 gave their green light:

Albania (song comes out June 1st)
Bulgaria (June 11th)
Ireland (They had a Melodifestivalen style selection last year so I have high hopes this year)
Malta (host county, hello! BRING OUT THE BABY DIVAS!)
The Netherlands (Junior Songfestival is a good Disney-esque selection)
Russia (much of the usual)

Yep yep. Anyone here watch the Melodi Grand Prix Jr. for Norway and Denmark? Pretty decent scandipop.

Bulgaira's Junior Eurovision Selection First Semi Final!

Watch the video here: (Using Google Translate to English) https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&prev=search&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=bg&u=http://junioreurovision.bg/video/videos/detska-evrovizija-2015-nacionalna-selekcija-parvi-polufinal-1-chast.html&usg=ALkJrhg-CGhb3z4bSUjgFL5fKll3MOfUxw

9:00 - I think she tried to reinvent Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" and it kinda worked. A for effort; I'm quite pleased. She's also a fan of Fergie, I think. (I don't speak Bulgarian but I heard "Fergie" get thrown around 3 times. I give her a 3.5 out of 5

14:10 - Next singer sings Edge Of Glory by Lady Gaga. She's pretty good. She can hold herself on a stage well enough. Very energetic that one but it seems like the judges gave her some constructive criticism... But the judge to the left liked her performance a lot and defended her. I give her a 4 out of 5.

19:45 - Video HALFTIME! This is a decent selection. Humble but still entertaining!

20: 50 - Forgive me but I can't understand what the hell this song is. lol He sounds mature and almost commanding. He even had one judge bump him head - always a good sign. Would love to see him in the final. Anyone notice the star on the floor btw? lol

30:35 - Next singer performs One Night Only by Jennifer Hudson. (I swear I'ma learn names by the final) Good voice on her but she seems very timid. Not sure if timid is a good or bad thing but her voice was enough. Hopefully, if she gets though, she'll handle herself better

--------------------------------------------------------

PART 2! https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=en&prev=search&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=bg&u=http://junioreurovision.bg/video/videos/detska-evrovizija-2015-nacionalna-selekcija-parvi-polufinal-2-chast.html&usg=ALkJrhjsTv2b8cQRXDD-JapYonLJg7NsWg

1:30 - Song is in Bulgarian so I don't know I don't it. She looks so sweet and reminds me of Russian's JESC entry for 2014. I give her a 3 out of 5.

9:10 - Next act performance "Mercy" by Duffy. lol I didn't expect him. I hope he gets through. Would love to see him on the JESC stage for Bulgaria and compete with Georgia. Vocals are a little off but he made me smile. :) I give him a 4.5 out of 5.

16:50 - RECAP OF ALL SONGS

And that's all. Ican Stoyanov, Eleonora Ivanova, and Paul Mateev went through.

JESC: Ukraine Finalist Preview Reactions

Hannah Katrina - Fly

She could do alright. Sounds a little UNICEF for Africa ish but it's likable.

Alisa Panchuk - Spivay

Good voice but the song is like meh.

Sofia Dobryvecher - My Khochemo Myru

Weird notes. Is the heart important in her performance? We'll see on Saturday.

Voice Land - Dytnstvo

Nice name. They remind me of San Marino's The Pepperments from last year's JESC. They sound like hot mess but that may change.

Nina Boikova - Rozmalyuy Moyi Sny

I've faith in her. I'm interested in what that art set in the background is about.

Victoriya Svyatogor - Sylna. Vilna.

Sounds like it came straight out of Ukraine. If it gets picked, would Europe like it? IDK.

Fresh - Zhyvy Na Povnu

It's Symphonik with a more fun song. Lots of jumping. Might be lost though.

Anna Trincher - Pochny z Sebe

She'll do ok. I love that she doesn't over do it. She's got a good voice.

Yarina Taras - Povir u Chudesa

Grabbed me instantly. I like the stand she's on. Looks like she stole Symphonik and made them her backup singers. lol


Sofia Yaremova - Salsa

Mixed reaction about this one but Ukraine is known for revamping songs so this could do very well if remade.


Mariya Karogodska - V Sertsi Muzyka Ye

My fav so far. Something that kids would like. Love the concepts and the light up shoes. lol Very colorful personality.

Nazar Stinyanskiy - Come On

He's got something going on. Good voice.

Zabava - Lety

Reminds me of Symphonik... Not promising. Don't get me wrong but this songs like the song Symphonik would've followed up on.

Anastasiya Tkachuk - Moya Zemlya

Slavic but sounds Iberian. I can feel the sun and sand when the beat drops in. lol But am I the only one? Hmm. But Hey HEY!

JESC: Georgia's 3 girl - 1 boy Group. Bring Out The Weird And Crazy!!!

Oh

Gawd!!!

:)

Georgia does it again! With Bzikebistudio, they will bring a psycho, crazy, zany, wild, but child-like experience to the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015 in Sofia, Bulgaria! 

You want to know the group? Alright then!

Elene Kezhrishvili (11) - she loves to swim and jams to hip hop music

Lizi Tavberidze (12) - Likes to sing, dance, draw, and play football (football or asso. football IDK), not to be confused with Lizi Pop from last year but could be just as interesting and exciting

Tako Gagnidze (11) - Enjoys singing, dancing, and drawing like her bandmate Lizi. He name makes me hungry.

Yes, you are!

Data Pavliashvili (12) - He likes to swim and enjoys playing football. The only dude in the group but looks at other 1 men groups Georgia has sent and tell me how he's not important...

Oh yeah! Get ready for Georgia!!!

Random Memes From Junior Eurovision 2014... Lazily Thrown Together

JESC: FINALLY! The Malta Eurovision Selection on junioreurovision.com!

Click Here if you want to see kids sing like grown ups!

Generic Logo!

1:30 - Show starts with a technical difficulty with Federicka Flazon singing Diamonds from last years JESC. Cheap selction is cheap. lol But she looks great.

4:45 - RETURN OF THE DREADED ADVERTIZING! (see the grown up Malta ESC selction for 2015)

6:30 - OH SNAP! Christer Bjorkman! He does Melodifestivalen! If he made Cyprus work, he'll make this work.

8:15 - Another ad... Drinking game anyone?

8:50 - Gaia Cauchi working the backstage.

-----------------------------------------

9:30: -  Song #1 - Nicole Frendo singing Sam Smith's I'm Not The Only One. Never trust a young girl with a skirt up past up her knees. Good edition though but a competitive performance.

12:35 - Gaia and little girl with an adult SPEAKING voice... With a cute accent. Her engrish isn't great but SELFIE!

13: 20 - Song #2 -  Raisa Marie Micallef singing Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again from the play Phantom of the Opera. She might do ok... ADVERTISEMENT!

17:15 - Song #3 - Sarah Micallef singing Aretha Franklin's Respect. Oh no... ROFL. She's having so much fun up there. You sing crazy but RESPECT to you. I like her.

20:35 - Song #4 - Nicole Sciberras singing I Will Be by Leona Lewis. She sounds so normal. A refreshing voice among many powerlifter singers so far - because powerlifters carry the heaviest weight they can and hold it for a little while. But she can last.

24:10 - Song #5 - Veronica Rotin singing Jessie J's Mama Knows Best. She's carrying soul because she knows her mama knows best. What lunches to put in her box. What kind of band aid to put on her knees with her fav cartoon characters. She reminds of Russia's JESC 2014 rep if she went with a heavier song. And she's got Jesus on her necklace lace lace lace lace #KeshaReferances

Part 2 of the National Selection for Malta in the Junior Eurovision 2015 #Discover

Another Generic Logo! (fan made)

33:45 - Song #6 - Ilenia Camilleria singing The Dreamgirls' One Night Only. She doesn't have verbatto considering she's ONLY A KID but she did pretty well.

37:20 - Francesca Dimech singing Taylor Swift's Black Space... Don't worry. I wrote her name. She's off key for much of the performance but in a charming and cute way. #notpedo

41:10 - Song #7- Aidan Cassar singing Big Band Brother's Kemm Hu Sahih. Finally! A dude in this fish fest! He has an alright voice and you can tell he didn't come to compete but to showcase and he did that well. Grazie!

44:40 - I'M A WARRIOR! I'M A CONQUEROR!!!

45:10 Song #8 - Chirstina Magrin singing Ceine Dion's I Surrender. In the words of Anastashia Petrik: YOU'LL NEVER MAKE ME SURRENDER! It's good but not a winner but she could win. You never know. A good song and she could do it!

49:05 - Song #9 - Thea Aquilina singing Frank Sinatra's That's Life. I love her singing but it's a little mature. Sounds sultry and jazzy in a way I'd feel weird about kids singing. #notpedo Hope she does well all the same.

53:30 - GatoNegro? Montenegro is gonna sue somebody! Say ADIO!

------------------------------------------------------------

Part 3 of the kiddie fest! Lets get to it!

57:35 - Song #10 - Andy Shaw singing The Scirpt's Breakeven. Anyone remember this song? lol I liked back then when I was in high school. His performance for the song is left to be desired but his singing could be enough. Not great but enough. Kinda breathy but lacking breath... Just watch it and see what I mean.

1:00:00 - One hour into this... HOW DO YOU FEEL? Sleepy but interested like I am?

1:01:30 - Song #11 - Sarah Farrugia singing Bon Iver's Skinny Love. Is the 3rd part gonna be the good and different voices? Her voice could be a little softer for the singing style she's going for. Focus on emotion and depth instead of trying to belt... My first criticism so far! YAY!

1:05:25 - Song #12 - Kelsey Farrugia (sisters?) singing BIRDY's Strange Birds. Oh no.  n-n-n-n-no! Pretty boring. I'm focusing on the words but there's little else to go on singing wise. She tried and that's all that matters.

1:08:50 - WE ARE THE HEROES OF OUR TIME! HEROOOOOS!

1:09:20 - Song #12 - Destiny Chukunyera singing Arethra Franklin's Think. Oh... Em... Gee! FREEDOM! Best singer so far! Big girls with big voices... And sass! She didn't get too soulful but enough for us to feel the spirit! She makes me THINK - can she win?

1:13:10 - Song #13 - Gabrielle Portelli singing Julie Andrew's I Could Have Danced All Night. This song could easily have been remastered into some swedish house song that Avicii or Calvin Harris could've put a singer on. lol That's what little Gabrielle made me think. Now, when she becomes a big star in Malta she can reflect on this performance as the start of her stardom but not the start of her winning streak. Sounds like she's sing in a school talent show, not a international song comepetition that over 30 million people will see. I wonder if Baby Gaga could sing it like the real Lady Gaga did? 
--------------------------------------------------------

Part 4... And they're just NOW giving out the voting numbers. Feeling drowsey. Gotta pop some pills.

Vitamin C and Gensing pills that is.

And Another Generic Logo! (when Malta hosted last year) Could Malta win again?

1:21:15 - Song #14 - Haley Azzopardi singing Jennifer Holiday's And I'm Telling You (I'm Not Going). She sounds like a white girl sing a black girl's song... Wait for it... Because she is a white girl singing a black girl's song. (see Ann Sophie's Black Smoke) Cool that the crowd sung along with her.

1:25:15 - Song #15 - Amy Marie Borg singing Sarah Brightman's Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again. Another princess (see tiara) singing a showtune. Good or nah? I'm not sure but I like it. And her dress and bracelets did her some Justice. Now, help her say GOOOOODBYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

1:29:10 - Song #16 - Rebecca Scicluna Rizzo singing Ella Henderson's Yours. Good song for her voice. She seems lovely. Not a winner but you'll remember. You are hers.

1:33:00 - Song #17-  Isaac Mercieca singing Lara Fabian;s Mama. A strong song by Daneil Testa Jr. lol His vocal presentation isn't great but it is enough.

1:36:55 - Song #16 - Victoria Sciberras singing Micheal Buble's Feeling Good. Mariah Carey part 2! lol @ the trumpet players in the back. I love the plastic garb she's wearing.

ALL THE SONGS ARE DONE!

Generic Nuns!

Well folks. Here's some meme's to pass the time!


Well... Wanna know who won...

Just kidding. Destiny won.

Junior Eurovisoin: No Lilla Melodifestivalen This Year!

Along with Cyprus. Sweden is dropping out of the JESC this year. :( Probably took cues from Denmark and Finland seeing the Scandis can't do well in this Slavic.

Maybe, they canceled it to help pay for the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 in Stockholm, Sweden in the Ericsson Globe Arena!

Not to mention Bulgarian NS auditions are underway...

Remember, the contest starts in Novemeber 21, 2015.

Junior Eurovision 2015: Junior Songfestival 2015 in Neatherlands Is Underway!

Or rather it's been going on for a nice 2 months.

The finalists have already been chosen and the videos are avalible for the auditions. Sadly, I wanted to give my honest opinon on how a bunch of kids from a different part of the world as I am are doing in this serious competiton when...

The YouTube comments were disabled.

But, blog comments aren't! :P


Audition #1: LISten - Start
     I was fortunate to be born right after the musical sh*tstorm of the 1980s were over. Sadly, dutch children have to indure it once again with "Start". Though, not a bad audition (none of the finalist are... Why would any finalist suck?) it brought up bad memories my daddy's sperm cell had to face... Thankfully, he was into Hip Hop.

Still a nice song though. 3/5

Audition #2: Shalisa - Million Lights
     Lovely girl. Lovely voice. But the repetitive chorus and long 3 1/2 minute performance was... Lackluster to say the most. I understand this was a kids singing audition but some adult who helped her should have known that shade was abound...

 And the nail in the coffin... The clap...

Junior Eurovision: MALTA IS IN! They'll announce in July!

On July 11th, Malta will announce Federika Falson's successor for Junior Eurovision using...

Something Junior Eurovision needs more off...

A EUROSONG CONTEST!

From Junior Eurosong Blog :

"How it will work is: People can submit songs to PBS and a jury will select 20 songs (1 song per person). These 20 finalists will perform live on stage (no live backings). A jury made up of three people (chosen by PBS) will judge them live. There will also be televoting which is worth 25% of the vote. Interestingly they say "The selection of the song to be performed during JESC in Sofia will be chosen by PBS in consultation with the artist or his/her representative.  The song selected for JESC will not be the same song which was performed by the artist/s in the MJESC." Meaning that they will basically choose a singer based just on voice and then assign them a song.

Candidates between the age of 10 and 15 by 21 November 2015 need to be Maltese nationals or residents. There can be up to six persons on stage.  The song may be original or a cover version in Maltese or English and it must be sung live during the rehearsals and the final show.

Submissions for participation shall be received at PBS Creativity Hub in Gwardamangia on 19th June 2015 between 09:00 and 16:00.  The participation form must include a CD including a full playback version of the participating song, together with a backing track including backing vocals (but excluding the main voice). The participation fee is €150 per application."

Junior Eurovison: Albania Has Chosen!

As if we were just reeling off the big one...

Here come the babies!

Our first bundle of joy comes from Afric- I mean Albania. Now, they've given us one of the Warrior divas of Eurovision 2015 so it's fitting they'd send another. Edurne must've been on their minds for the jungle theme.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh2Z7p0-4Ak

Say what you want about UNICEF for Africa type songs but you see how Russia did!

The song title is named after a small city in Nepal. Literally meaning Goddess Crop, I'm assuming Nepal is poor. How fitting it is that the least developed country in this contest name themselves after the least developed city in the world!
