Members Huntress Posted March 10, 2020 Author Members Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) With the exception of the Russian song, the 2020 field is now complete. Due to the coronavirus, this year's competition could take place without a live audience.

Members I Am A Swede Posted March 11, 2020 Members Share Posted March 11, 2020 I wonder if this year's contest will take place or if it will be cancelled due to the coronavirus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted March 18, 2020 Members Share Posted March 18, 2020 I have just heard that they have indeed cancelled this years' contest. They are saying that all performers will be invited back for next year, but MUST perform different songs. This is bizarre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Huntress Posted March 18, 2020 Author Members Share Posted March 18, 2020 Yes, it's official now. The Eurovision Song Contest 2020 has been cancelled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members I Am A Swede Posted March 18, 2020 Members Share Posted March 18, 2020 I think they should have gone through with it. Not the live show of course, but they could have shown videos of all the songs, and the voting could have been done as usual. We can't keep postponing/cancelling every little thing. Life has to go on. It could have served a purpose as well by taking people's minds of the current state of affairs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Huntress Posted March 21, 2020 Author Members Share Posted March 21, 2020 I agree that this would have been a good option... but well, it wasn't meant to be. The EBU also announced that the songs chosen for 2020 cannot compete in 2021. However, several broadcasters have already decided to send their chosen singers again next year – with a different song. Apparently, the EBU is planning a different pan-European event for May to showcase this year's entries. The official album is also still to be released in April. Slovenia released their revamped version of "Voda"... I would have loved to see this being performed on the big stage *sigh* Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Huntress Posted March 31, 2020 Author Members Share Posted March 31, 2020 The EBU will produce a replacement show for Eurovision 2020 called "Europe Shine a Light": https://eurovision.tv/story/eurovision-europe-shine-a-light-will-bring-audiences-together-on-16-may Some countries will create their own Eurovision specials, among them Austria, Spain, Ukraine and the United Kingdom. Germany's broadcaster Pro7 has announced a "Free European Song Contest" that will also air on May 16th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
