ESC 2024 – Selezioni Nazionali – Finale

images

La selezione dei partecipanti all’Eurovision Song Contest spetta alle emittenti televisive competenti dei singoli stati. A loro spetta la scelta del metodo di selezione: una selezione interna (quindi cantante e/o brano vengono scelti dall’emittente stessa), come accade solitamente per San Marino o Australia, oppure può organizzare un festival musicale (il pubblico sceglie un vincitore che viene invitato a partecipare all’Eurovision Song Contest), come accade in Norvegia (Norsk Melodi Grand Prix), Svezia (Melodifestivalen), Italia (Festival di Sanremo), Grecia (Ellinikós Telikós) e molti altri. Il vincitore dell’eventuale festival però non è obbligato a partecipare all’Eurovision Song Contest né tanto meno è obbligato ad esibirsi con la canzone vincitrice, ad esempio Iva Zanicchi ha vinto il Festival di Sanremo nel 1969, in coppia con Bobby Solo, con la canzone “Zingara”, ma all’Eurovision Song Contest si presentò da sola con il brano “Due grosse lacrime bianche”. Con il tempo buona parte delle emittenti sta abbandonando la selezione interna in favore del festival musicale.

I partecipanti non devono obbligatoriamente avere vincoli di nazionalità (ad esempio nel 1988 la Svizzera vinse con la cantante canadese Céline Dion) e le canzoni non hanno restrizioni riguardanti la lingua (anche se nelle prime edizioni vigeva un obbligo di cantare in una delle lingue ufficiali del proprio paese).

L’Eurovision Song Contest 2024 è stata la 68ª edizione dell’annuale concorso canoro. Il concorso si è svolto presso la Malmö Arena a Malmö, in Svezia, dal 7 all’11 maggio 2024, in seguito alla vittoria di Loreen con “Tattoo” nell’edizione precedente; è stata la terza edizione della manifestazione a svolgersi a Malmö (dopo quelle del 1992 e 2013), nonché la settima in Svezia (paese ospitante anche nel 1975, 1985, 2000 e 2016). Il concorso sarà articolato, come dal 2008, in due semifinali e una finale.

In seguito ad alcune controversie avvenute durante l’edizione 2023, relative al ruolo delle giurie nazionali in seno al sistema di voto, l’emittente norvegese NRK ha annunciato che erano in corso le trattative con l’Unione europea di radiodiffusione (UER) riguardo a ulteriori modifiche sulla struttura del sistema di voto; l’obiettivo del capodelegazione norvegese Stig Karlsen era di ridurre il peso complessivo delle giurie sul risultato finale dall’attuale 49,4% al 40% o 30%. Alla fine non sono state apportate modifiche al sistema di voto, ma nel marzo 2024 sono state annunciate alcune modifiche alla durata della finestra di voto: la finestra di voto per il “Resto del mondo” sarà aperta per 24 ore prima e durante ogni trasmissione. Per i Paesi partecipanti, sarà aperta dopo l’esecuzione dell’ultima canzone nelle semifinali come negli anni precedenti, mentre nella finale sarà aperta prima della prima esibizione e si chiuderà 25 minuti dopo l’ultima esibizione. Inoltre, i Paesi che accedono automaticamente alla finale (i Big Five e il Paese ospitante) eseguiranno integralmente i loro brani in gara durante le semifinali, tra le esibizioni dei concorrenti.

Il 14 giugno 2023 sono state annunciate le due produttrici esecutive dell’evento: Ebba Adielsson (direttrice della sezione intrattenimento della SVT) e Christel Tholse Willers (già produttrice esecutiva dell’edizione 2013), mentre la produzione tecnica sarà affidata a Tobias Åberg (produttore tecnico della manifestazione dal 2016) e Johan Bernhagen (produttore esecutivo dell’edizione 2016). Il successivo 11 settembre vengono annunciati Christer Björkman (capodelegazione svedese dal 2002 al 2021, nonché produttore dell’edizione 2013 e 2016) come direttore artistico e Per Blankens (già produttore di vari programmi svedesi tra cui il Melodifestivalen) come produttore televisivo.

Il 19 dicembre 2023 è stato annunciato che la scenografia sarebbe stata curata dal tedesco Florian Wieder, già ideatore di altre otto scenografie della manifestazione, mentre lo svedese Fredrik Stormby (già precedentemente coinvolto nella realizzazione della scenografia nel 2013 e nel 2016) avrebbe curato il comparto luci e video del palco.

Il 5 febbraio 2024 2024 sono stati annunciate le conduttrici dell’evento: la presentatrice televisiva e comica Petra Mede (alla sua terza conduzione del concorso dopo le edizioni del 2013 e del 2016) e l’attrice svedese-statunitense Malin Åkerman.

Lo slogan dell’edizione 2024 è lo stesso dell’edizione precedente, United by Music. La decisione è stata resa nota il 14 novembre 2023 tramite un comunicato stampa congiunto della TV svedese SVT e dell’UER. Nello stesso comunicato viene annunciato inoltre che tale slogan verrà utilizzato in maniera permanente anche per le future edizioni del concorso. Il successivo 14 dicembre è stato presentato il logo dell’evento, denominato The Eurovision Lights disegnato dalle agenzie Uncut e Bold Scandinavia, raffigura una serie di gradienti lineari, ispirate all’aurora boreale e agli equalizzatori sonori.

All’indomani della vittoria svedese all’edizione 2023, ospitata dalla città britannica di Liverpool, la delegazione svedese ha espresso l’interesse dell’emittente pubblica SVT a organizzare la manifestazione musicale. A stretto giro ha seguito l’interesse ad ospitare l’evento di diverse città tra cui Eskilstuna (Stiga Sports Arena), Göteborg (Scandinavium), Jönköping (Husqvarna Garden), Malmö (Malmö Arena), Örnsköldsvik (Hägglunds Arena), Partille (Partille Arena), Sandviken (Göransson Arena) e Stoccolma (Friends Arena e Tele2 Arena).

L’emittente SVT ha invitato le città interessate a presentare una candidatura ufficiale entro il 12 giugno 2023. Le prime città a confermare la propria candidatura per ospitare l’evento sono state Stoccolma e Göteborg, seguite da Örnsköldsvik e Malmö, mentre le città ad annunciare il ritiro delle rispettive candidature sono state Sandviken (in seguito a una consultazione in consiglio comunale) e Jönköping (per la mancanza di un’arena di dimensioni adeguate). Il successivo 20 giugno i media svedesi hanno rivelato che, a seguito della lista già ampia di eventi previsti all’interno delle arene precedentemente selezionate, la città di Stoccolma aveva ideato una terza alternativa per la propria candidatura, basata sulla costruzione di un’arena apposita per ospitare il concorso vicino alla zona portuale della città (Frihamnen).

Il 7 luglio SVT ha comunicato che la scelta era stata ristretta alle città di Malmö e Stoccolma, che rispettavano tutte le necessità del concorso, scartando di conseguenza Göteborg e Örnsköldsvik. Nella stessa giornata, sul canale YouTube ufficiale della manifestazione canora, è stato confermato che la sede dell’Eurovision Song Contest 2024 sarebbe stata la Malmö Arena dell’omonima città.

Il 5 dicembre 2023 è stata ufficializzata la lista definitiva degli Stati partecipanti a quest’edizione, che ne prevede 37.

Sweden hosted the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, having won the previous edition with “Tattoo” by Loreen. The Swedish broadcaster Sveriges Television (SVT) organised Melodifestivalen 2024 in order to select its entry for the contest, with “Unforgettable” performed by Marcus & Martinus emerging as the winner.

As the host country, Sweden automatically qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Performing in position 1, the country placed ninth out of the 25 performing countries with 174 points.

1.Background. Prior to the 2024 contest, Sweden has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest sixty-two times since its first entry in 1958. Sweden has won the contest on seven occasions (tying with Ireland for the most wins): in 1974 with the song “Waterloo” performed by ABBA, in 1984 with the song “Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley” performed by Herreys, in 1991 with the song “Fångad av en stormvind” performed by Carola, in 1999 with the song “Take Me to Your Heaven” performed by Charlotte Nilsson, in 2012 with the song “Euphoria” performed by Loreen, in 2015 with the song “Heroes” performed by Måns Zelmerlöw, and in 2023 with “Tattoo” again performed by Loreen, who became the second artist (after Ireland’s Johnny Logan), as well as the first female artist, to win the contest more than once. Following the introduction of semi-finals for the 2004 contest, Sweden’s entries, to this point, have featured in every final, except for 2010.

The Swedish national broadcaster, Sveriges Television (SVT), broadcasts the event within Sweden and organises the selection process for the nation’s entry. Since 1959, SVT has organised the annual competition Melodifestivalen in order to select the Swedish entry for the Eurovision Song Contest.

2.Before Eurovision. The 2024 edition of Melodifestivalen is set to take place early in 2024. It will feature five heats (the fifth replacing the previously held semi-final) and a final. A submission period will open between 25 August and 15 September 2023 to select 30 competing entries.

2.1.Melodifestivalen 2024. Melodifestivalen 2024 is set to be the 64th edition of the Swedish music competition Melodifestivalen, which will be organised by Sveriges Television (SVT) and take place over a six-week period between 3 February and 9 March 2024. The winner of the competition will go on to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, held on home soil in Malmö.

2.1.0. Format: Melodifestivalen 2024 saw six weekly shows held in six Swedish cities (namely Malmö, Gothenburg, Växjö, Eskilstuna, Karlstad and Stockholm). Carina Berg was announced as the presenter of the competition on 12 January 2023, with Björn Gustafsson later announced as her sidekick.

Changes to the format were announced on 29 June 2023. A total of 30 entries took part in the competition (two more than in previous editions) across five heats. Each heat consisted of six songs, with the top two songs directly qualifying for the final, and the third- and fourth-placing songs going to a final qualification round – replacing the semi-final, which itself had replaced the Second Chance round in 2022 – at the end of the fifth heat. The top two songs in the final qualification then progressed to the final, which comprised 12 songs. The winner of the final was determined by the usual 50/50 combination of votes from the public and an international jury. Anders Wistbacka, project manager for the event, anticipated on 12 January 2024 that several further format changes would be implemented.

Norwegian broadcaster NRK’s decision to allow for the second year in a row the use of autotune in its national final, Melodi Grand Prix, prompted the European Broadcasting Union to state that such use must be limited to artistic purposes in the contest. Addressing the topic, Karin Gunnarson, Melodifestivalen producer and artistic director, clarified that there were no plans to introduce a similar rule in the Swedish competition in the immediate future.

Final qualification. At the end of the fifth heat, a final qualification round took place consisting of the third- and fourth-placing songs of each heat. The two most voted songs qualified for the final; the age group system was not used for this vote, but the results from the heats were added to it to determine the result of the final qualification. More specifically, for both the heat and the final qualification round points, the total number of votes for each song in each show was divided by the total number of voters (devices) in each show. Then 1000 points were distributed amongst the songs based on those ratios. A total of 6,551,057 votes were cast using 518,179 devices, with a total of 517,392 SEK collected for Radiohjälpen.

Promotion. As part of the promotion of their participation in the contest, Marcus & Martinus confirmed their presence at the PrePartyES in Madrid on 30 March 2024, the London Eurovision Party on 7 April 2024, the Eurovision in Concert event in Amsterdam on 13 April 2024, the Nordic Eurovision Party in Stockholm on 14 April 2024 and the Nordic Music Celebration event in Oslo on 20 April 2024.

4.At Eurovision. The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 took place at the Malmö Arena in Malmö, Sweden, and consisted of two semi-finals held on the respective dates of 7 and 9 May and the final on 11 May 2024. All nations with the exceptions of the host country and the “Big Five” (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) were required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete in the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progressed to the final. As the host country, Sweden automatically qualified to compete in the final on 11 May 2024, but is also required to broadcast and vote in one of the two semi-finals. This was decided via a draw held during the semi-final allocation draw on 30 January 2024, when it was announced that Sweden would be voting in the first semi-final. Despite being an automatic qualifier for the final, the Swedish entry was also performed during the semi-final. On 11 March 2024, during the Heads of Delegation meeting, Sweden was drawn to open the grand final in position 1. It will be the first time since 1970 that a host country has opened the final.

In Sweden, all shows were broadcast on SVT1 as well as online via SVT Play, with commentary by Tina Mehrafzoon and Edward af Sillén, and on radio via SR P4, with commentary by Carolina Norén. The three shows are also available in the Finnish Yle-operated broadcasts on TV Finland, with Finnish commentary by Mikko Silvennoinen and Swedish commentary by Eva Frantz and Johan Lindroos, and SVT Play, with Inari Sámi commentary by Heli Huovinen and Northern Sámi commentary by Aslak Paltto. In addition, as part of the Eurovision programming, SVT and DR cooperated with other EBU member broadcasters – namely ARD/WDR, the BBC, ČT, ERR, France Télévisions, NRK, NTR, RÚV, VRT and Yle – to produce and air a documentary titled ABBA – Against the Odds, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Sweden’s first victory at the contest with “Waterloo” by ABBA.

Performance. Marcus & Martinus took part in technical rehearsals on 2 and 4 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 10 and 11 May. Their performance of “Unforgettable” at the contest had a staging similar to the one at Melodifestivalen, with four supporting dancers joining them on stage; the duo stated that they had been inspired by the style of Super Bowl halftime shows, with 2023 winner Loreen, commenting that the staging was reminiscent of The Matrix.

Final. On 11 March 2024, during the Heads of Delegation meeting, Sweden was drawn to open the grand final in position 1. The country was followed by Ukraine in position 2. Marcus and Martinus took part in dress rehearsals on 10 and 11 May before the final, including the jury final where the professional juries cast their final votes before the live show on 11 May. They performed a repeat of their semi-final performance during the final on 11 May. Sweden placed ninth in the final, scoring 174 points; 49 points from the public televoting and 125 points from the juries.

4.1.Voting. Below is a breakdown of points awarded to and by Sweden in the first semi-final and in the final. Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting in the final vote, while the semi-final vote was based entirely on the vote of the public. The Swedish jury consisted of Robin Bengtsson, who represented Sweden in the 2017 contest, Ellen Berg, Henrik Olsson, Boris René, and Elin Trogen. In the final, Sweden placed 9th with 174 points, receiving the maximum twelve points in the jury vote from Germany. Over the course of the contest, Sweden awarded its 12 points to Croatia in the first semi-final, and to Switzerland (jury) and Israel (televote) in the final.

The spokesperson for the Swedish jury at the final was Frans Jeppsson Wall, who represented Sweden in the 2016 contest.

4.1.3.Detailed voting results. Each nation’s jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent.

The following members comprised the Swedish jury:

  • Robin Bengtsson
  • Annie Beata Ellen Berg

Germany participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden with “Always on the Run” performed by Isaak. The German broadcaster ARD, in collaboration with Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR), organised the national final Eurovision Song Contest – Das deutsche Finale 2024 in order to select the German entry for the 2024 contest.

As a member of the “Big Five”, Germany automatically qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Performing in position 3, Germany placed twelfth out of the 25 performing countries with 112 points, achieving its best result since 2018.

1.Background. Prior to the 2024 contest, Germany has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest sixty-six times since its debut as one of seven countries to take part in 1956, making it, to this point, the country that has competed the most times in the contest: they have taken part in every edition except in 1996 when the nation was eliminated in a pre-contest qualification round. Germany has won the contest on two occasions: in 1982 with the song “Ein bißchen Frieden” performed by Nicole and in 2010 with the song “Satellite” performed by Lena. In 2023, “Blood & Glitter” performed by Lord of the Lost placed 26th (last) in the final with 18 points.

Members of the German television consortium ARD broadcast the contest within Germany. Since 1996, ARD member Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) has been responsible for organising Germany’s participation in the contest. The country has used both internal selections and a variety of national final formats to select their entries in the past, chiefly sticking to the format Unser Lied für… (“Our Song for…”, followed by the name of the host city) in recent years. ARD confirmed its intention to compete in the 2024 contest immediately after the 2023 final.

2.Before Eurovision.

2.1.Eurovision Song Contest – Das deutsche Finale2024. On 7 September 2023, ARD announced its intention to organise a national final, titled Eurovision Song Contest –Das deutsche Finale2024 (“Eurovision Song Contest – The German Final 2024”). The show, which was held in Berlin on 16 February 2024 and was hosted by Barbara Schöneberger, was broadcast live on Das Erste, on the broadcaster’s streaming platform ARD Mediathek, and on its official Eurovision website Eurovision.de. The winner was selected by a combination of jury votes and televoting.

The show was watched by 2.190 million viewers in Germany for a 14.7% share, marking an increase of 210,000 viewers and 3.4% share compared to Unser Lied für Liverpool in 2023 as well as the highest viewership values for a German national final since 2010.

2.1.1.Competing entries. A submission period for interested artists was open from 7 September to 15 October 2023. Singers or groups could apply with or without a song, and were required to upload a video performance of their song or (for those without an original composition) a cover of their choice. The competition was open to any artists and songs, without restrictions of language or nationality. At the end of the submission period, 693 artists had applied – 495 soloists, 71 duos and 127 bands – with a total of 572 songs. By 25 November 2023, these were narrowed down to 32, who were assessed by a 20-member international jury – consisting of previous jurors for their countries at Eurovision, whose names will be revealed later – to select a maximum of ten finalists by the end on the year. These, ultimately revealed to be eight, were announced and released on 19 January 2024 and will be introduced via the show ESC vor acht (“ESC before eight”), consisting of eight daily broadcasts hosted by Alina Stiegler between 5 and 15 February 2024. Alongside this process, NDR launched a separate competition to determine an additional finalist, titled Ich will zum ESC! (“I want to go to the ESC!”), with fifteen contestants selected from the received applications.

Selected artists include Max Mutzke, who represented Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004.

Ich will zum ESC!. Ich will zum ESC! was a format developed by NDR and Hessischer Rundfunk (HR) to select one finalist for Eurovision Song Contest – Das deutsche Finale 2024. It consisted of five pre-recorded episodes, premiering on ARD Mediathek between 25 January and 1 February 2024 (later airing on Das Erste), and a live final, held on 8 February 2024 at the Kreuzberg Festival Hall in Berlin and hosted by Laura Karasek (airing on NDR Fernsehen and Das Erste). It saw fifteen artists being coached by Conchita Wurst (2014 Austrian representative and overall winner) and Rea Garvey, who in each episode chose which participants would move on to the next stage, with three qualifying for the final. There, they presented a newly-composed song and the winner was determined by a televoting round.

2.1.2.Final. The final of Eurovision Song Contest – Das deutsche Finale 2024 took place on 16 February 2024 and saw nine contestants compete. The winner was selected by a 50/50 combination of votes from an international jury and a televote, following a similar pattern to the one used in the Eurovision Song Contest final: the two votings each determined a ranking whereby the entries were assigned 1–6, 8, 10 and 12 points. The international jury was composed of one panel for each of eight different countries, namely Austria, Croatia, Iceland, Lithuania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The show was attended by Conchita Wurst, Rea Garvey, Mary Roos (1972 and 1984 German Eurovision representative), Riccardo Simonetti, Florian Silbereisen, Alli Neumann and previous German representatives Lord of the Lost as guests.

Preparation and promotion. Shortly after the national final, it was announced that “Always on the Run” would undergo a minor lyrical change in accordance with the contest’s regulations prohibiting vulgar language. As part of the promotion of his participation in the contest, Isaak attended the PrePartyES in Madrid on 30 March 2024, the London Eurovision Party on 7 April 2024 and the Eurovision in Concert event in Amsterdam on 13 April 2024. In addition, he performed at the Eurovision Village in Malmö on 9 May 2024.

3.At Eurovision. The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 took place at the Malmö Arena in Malmö, Sweden, and consisted of two semi-finals held on the respective dates of 7 and 9 May and the final on 11 May 2024. All nations with the exceptions of the host country and the “Big Five” (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) were required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete in the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progressed to the final. As a member of the “Big Five”, Germany automatically qualifies to compete in the final on 11 May 2024, but is also required to broadcast and vote in one of the two semi-finals. This was decided via a draw held during the semi-final allocation draw on 30 January 2024, when it was announced that Germany would be voting in the first semi-final. Despite being an automatic qualifier for the final, the German entry was also performed during the semi-final. On 4 May 2024, a draw was held to determine which half of the final each “Big Five” country would perform in; Germany drew to perform in the first half of the show.

ARD broadcast the semi-finals on One and the final on Das Erste, as well as all shows online via ARD Mediathek and Eurovision.de; commentary is provided by Thorsten Schorn [de], replacing historical commentator Peter Urban. During the contest’s week, ARD also aired the special program Alles Eurovision, hosted by Alina Stiegler and Constantin Zöller, providing insight on the competition. In a joint meeting held in Munich in September 2023, ARD and German-language broadcasters ORF for Austria and SRF for Switzerland renewed their plans to cooperate on the broadcast of Eurovision-themed programmes ESC – Der Countdown and ESC – Die Aftershow in 2024, as they did for the 2023 contest; the shows were hosted by Barbara Schöneberger. In addition, as part of the Eurovision programming, ARD through its station WDR cooperated with DR and SVT alongside other EBU member broadcasters – namely the BBC, ČT, ERR, France Télévisions, NRK, NTR, RÚV, VRT and Yle – to produce and air a documentary titled ABBA – Against the Odds, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Sweden’s first victory at the contest with “Waterloo” by ABBA.

Performance. Isaak took part in technical rehearsals on 2 and 4 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 10 and 11 May. His performance of “Always on the Run” at the contest was directed by Dan Shipton and saw four dancers joining him in stage as well as the usage of pyrotechnics.

Final. On 4 May 2024, a draw was held to determine which half of the final each “Big Five” country would perform in; Germany drew to perform in the first half of the show. Germany performed in position 3, following the entry from Ukraine and before the entry from Luxembourg. Isaak once again took part in dress rehearsals on 10 and 11 May before the final, including the jury final where the professional juries cast their final votes before the live show on 11 May. He performed a repeat of his semi-final performance during the final on 11 May. Germany placed twelfth in the final, scoring 112 points; 18 points from the public televoting and 94 points from the juries.

3.1.Voting. Below is a breakdown of points awarded to and by Germany in the first semi-final and in the final. Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting in the final vote, while the semi-final vote was based entirely on the vote of the public. The German jury consisted of Mirko Bogojević, Nicola Keute, Mona Meiller, Florian Schrödter, and Ireen Sheer, who represented Luxembourg in the 1974 and 1985 contests and Germany in the 1978 contest. In the final, Germany placed 12th with 117 points; the country’s highest placing since 2018. Over the course of the contest, Germany awarded its 12 points to Croatia in the first semi-final, and to Sweden (jury) and Israel (televote) in the final.

The spokesperson for the German jury at the final was Ina Müller.

3.1.3.Detailed voting results. Each nation’s jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent. Each jury, and individual jury member, is required to meet a strict set of criteria regarding professional background, as well as diversity in gender and age. No member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member as well as the nation’s televoting results were released shortly after the grand final.

The following members comprised the German jury:

  • Mirko Bogojević (Das Bo)
  • Nicola Keute

Spain participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden, with “Zorra” performed by Nebulossa. The Spanish broadcaster Radiotelevisión Española (RTVE), together with the Generalitat Valenciana, organised Benidorm Fest 2024 in order to select the Spanish entry for the 2024 contest.

As a member of the “Big Five”, Spain directly qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Performing in position 8, Spain placed twenty-second out of the 25 performing countries with 30 points.

1.Background. Prior to the 2024 contest, Spain has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest sixty-two times since its first entry in 1961. The nation has won the contest on two occasions: in 1968 with the song “La La La” performed by Massiel and in 1969 with the song “Vivo cantando” performed by Salomé, the latter having won in a four-way tie with France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Spain has also finished second four times, with Karina in 1971, Mocedades in 1973, Betty Missiego in 1979 and Anabel Conde in 1995. In 2022, Spain placed third with the song “SloMo” performed by Chanel, while in 2023, the country came 17th with the song “Eaea” performed by Blanca Paloma.

The Spanish national broadcaster, Televisión Española (TVE), broadcasts the event within Spain and organises the selection process for the nation’s entry. TVE confirmed their intentions to participate at the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest on 11 May 2023, while the 2023 contest was still ongoing. Spain has selected their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest through both national finals and internal selections in the past. Along with their participation confirmation, the broadcaster announced the organization of the third edition of Benidorm Fest in order to select the 2024 Spanish entry.

2.Before Eurovision. Benidorm Fest 2024 was the song festival organised by RTVE and Generalitat Valenciana that took place at the Palau Municipal d’Esports l’Illa de Benidorm in Benidorm, Valencian Community. Sixteen artists and songs competed over three shows: two semi-finals on 30 January and 1 February 2024, and the final on 3 February 2024, with a total of eight entries ultimately qualifying to the final.

The voting consisted of televote (25%), a demoscopic panel of judges made up of a sample of the Spanish population selected by statistical and demoscopic criteria (25%), and a national and international jury vote (50%).

2.1.Benidorm Fest 2024. Benidorm Fest 2024 was the third edition of the annual Benidorm Fest, a television song contest held in Benidorm, organised and broadcast by RTVE. The show was held between 30 January and 3 February 2024, and was hosted by Ruth Lorenzo, Marc Calderó and Ana Prada. The winner, Nebulossa with “Zorra“, earned the right to represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.

2.1.1.Format. The 2024 edition was introduced on 26 July 2023 in the presence of Massiel, the first Spanish representative to win the Eurovision Song Contest in 1968. Further details were announced at a press conference held at the Torrespaña in Madrid on 9 January 2024.[2] An opening gala was held at Benidorm Palace on 28 January 2024, which included performances by Benidorm Fest 2023 winner Blanca Paloma and the Spanish representative at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023, Sandra Valero.

The competition consisted of two semi-finals on 30 January and 1 February 2024, and one final on 3 February 2024. In total, 16 candidate songs competed divided between the two semifinals, that is, eight participated in each one. In each semifinal, the four songs with the most votes among a professional jury (50%), a demoscopic panel (25%) and the televote (25%), qualified to the final. During the final, the eight qualified songs were performed again and the winner was determined following the same voting system as in the semi-finals.

In addition to the televised shows, three Euroclub concerts took place in Benidorm on 30 January, 2 February and 3 February as part of the festival week, featuring performances by previous Benidorm Fest contestants, international artists as well as acts who applied to compete in 2024 but were not selected.

2.1.1.1.Presenters. At the January 2024 press conference, Ruth Lorenzo and Marc Calderó were announced as the main hosts of the competition, alongside Ana Prada as the host of the green room. In addition, each show was preceded by an introductory segment, titled Benidorm Calling and hosted by Inés Hernand and Jordi Cruz, and followed by a commentary show, titled La noche del Benidorm and hosted by Hernand and Aitor Albizua.

2.1.1.2.Jury members. The jury consisted of four Spanish members and four international members. The Spanish members are singers Carlos Baute, Ángela Carrasco, Guille Milkyway and chair Beatriz Luengo; the international members were Lee Smithurst (head of the British delegation to the contest and show producer of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023), David Tserunyan (head of the Armenian delegation to the contest), Marta Piekarska (head of the Polish delegation to the contest) and Nicoline Refsing (artistic director of the Eurovision Song Contest 2014). Piekarska was selected as a replacement for Twan van de Nieuwenhuijzen (head of the Dutch delegation to the contest and head of contest for the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 to 2023), who was ultimately unable to attend the festival.

Guest performers: Beret with Mr. Rain and Vicco with Abraham Mateo performed during the first semi-final. Íñigo Quintero and Sergio Dalma performed during the second semi-final. Ruth Lorenzo, Camela and Abraham Mateo performed in the final.

2.1.2.Competing entries. RTVE published the rules and regulations for Benidorm Fest 2024 on 11 May 2023, opening a submission window lasting from 16 May until 10 October 2023. In addition to the open submission, RTVE reserved the right to invite renowned singers and authors from the current music scene. For the 2024 edition, the broadcaster also organised a songwriting camp in September 2023, open to both local and international composers. Upon closing the submission period, RTVE announced that 825 entries had been received by the online form, 23 of which having been composed at the songwriting camp.

The participants, selected by a team including musical advisors Rayden, Pablo Cebrián and Tony Sánchez-Ohlsson, were introduced on 11 November 2023 at the Alameda Theatre in Seville by RTVE’s head of communications María Eizaguirre (in the role of executive supervisor of the festival), in the context of the 2023 Latin Grammy Awards. The presentation event included performances by some of the participants of the two previous editions, namely 2023 winner Blanca Paloma (accompanied by guitarist José Pablo Polo) with her new single “¡Ay amor!“, Agoney, Alfred García, Alice Wonder, Gonzalo Hermida, Karmento, Megara, Sharonne, Tanxugueiras, Varry Brava and Vicco.

While the presentation date for the selected entries was set for 14 December 2023, all song titles were inadvertently released a week earlier and multiple songs were leaked, which prompted RTVE to consider legal action. Regardless, the presentation event took place as scheduled at the RTVE Prado del Rey studios in Madrid, with Eizaguirre and festival directors Ana María Bordas and César Vallejo.

On 23 February 2024, the results of the selection procedure were published, as well as the names of the six artists and songs chosen as reserves.

Promotion. As part of the promotion of their participation in the contest, Nebulossa embarked on a trip across the United States in February 2024; they additionally attended the PrePartyES in Madrid on 30 March 2024, the Euro Fest Gala in Madrid on 3 April 2024, the Barcelona Eurovision Party on 6 April 2024, the London Eurovision Party on 7 April 2024, the Eurovision in Concert event in Amsterdam on 13 April 2024, and the Nordic Eurovision Party in Stockholm on 14 April 2024 as well as performing at the Swedish embassy in Madrid on 10 April 2024 and at the Muccassassina club night in Rome on 26 April 2024. The duo also performed at a public “farewell party” at Teatro Albéniz in Madrid on 22 April 2024, organised by RTVE and available on its online platform RTVE Play.

Calls for boycott. Opposing earlier declarations by María Eizaguirre, head of communications of Spanish broadcaster RTVE, that it would follow the EBU’s stance, on 1 February 2024, Spanish left-wing party Podemos submitted a proposal to the Congress of Deputies in order for the government and RTVE to lobby against the inclusion of Israel in the contest and urge other countries to do the same, with a contextual petition for withdrawal promoted within RTVE by Roberto Lakidain, representative of Podemos in the broadcaster’s board of directors.

3.At Eurovision. The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 took place at the Malmö Arena in Malmö, Sweden, and consisted of two semi-finals held on the respective dates of 7 and 9 May and the final on 11 May 2024. All nations with the exceptions of the host country and the “Big Five” (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) were required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete in the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progressed to the final. As a member of the “Big Five”, Spain automatically qualifies to compete in the final on 11 May 2024, but is also required to broadcast and vote in one of the two semi-finals. This was decided via a draw held during the semi-final allocation draw on 30 January 2024, when it was announced that Spain would be voting in the second semi-final. Despite being an automatic qualifier for the final, the Spanish entry was also performed during the semi-final. On 4 May 2024, a draw was held to determine which half of the final each “Big Five” country would perform in; Spain drew “producer’s choice”, meaning that the country would perform in the half decided by the contest’s producers.

In Spain, the first semi-final of the contest was broadcast on La 2 and the second semi-final and the final on La 1 and its 4K UHD simulcast channel La 1 UHD; in addition, the final was also aired on Radio Nacional nationwide and on Ràdio 4 in Catalonia, and all the shows were available online via RTVE Play and internationally on TVE Internacional; Catalan-language commentary by Sònia Urbano and Xavi Martínez will be available for the final on the national TV and web broadcast and on the local radio broadcast, while Julia Varela and Tony Aguilar provide the Spanish-language commentary for the national and international TV and web broadcasts and David Asensio, Sara Calvo, Ángela Fernández, Manu Martín-Albo and Luis Miguel Montes will commentate the final on the national radio broadcast. As part of the Eurovision programming, the special broadcast Estoy en un buen momento: Malmö Calling, hosted by Carolina Iglesias, preceded each of the three shows, and the documentary Catalunya, 12 punts, dedicated to Catalan representatives of Spain at the contest, aired on La 2 before the final.

A public event, organised by RTVE, was held on the day of the final in Benidorm, featuring a live screening of the show at the Auditorio Julio Iglesias as well as performances by special guests and other activities. 

Performance. Nebulossa took part in technical rehearsals on 2 and 4 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 10 and 11 May. Their performance of “Zorra” at the contest is staged by Israel Reyes and Juan Sebastián Domínguez, and choreographed by Vero Mejías, with backing singer Carmen Díaz and dancers César Louzán Ferrío and Iosu Martínez joining the duo on stage. Michael Costello designed singer Mery Bas’ costume, which is centred around a black vinyl corset with rhinestones, meant to evoke a dominatrix; Domínguez created the rest of the outfits, which include suits for the dancers, removed at one point to reveal high boots and also a corset underneath. The staging features a sofa and lamps, meant to recreate a “cabaret atmosphere”, as well as the usage of smoke at the beginning and pyrotechnics at the end. Visuals include the image of the Venus de Milo, representing the epitome of classical feminity; a red lock, symbolising the passage to a liberated society; and a LED background inspired by the setting of the 1927 film Metropolis, said to give the staging a “retro-futuristic look” and to be a reference to the city of Benidorm.

Final. On 4 May 2024, a draw was held to determine which half of the final each “Big Five” country would perform in; Spain drew “producer’s choice”, meaning that the country will perform in the half decided by the contest’s producers. Spain will perform in position 8, following the entry from Lithuania and before the entry from Estonia. Nebulossa once again took part in dress rehearsals on 10 and 11 May before the final, including the jury final where the professional juries cast their final votes before the live show on 11 May. They performed a repeat of their semi-final performance during the final on 11 May. Spain placed twenty-second in the final, scoring 30 points; 11 points from the public televoting and 19 points from the juries.

3.1.Voting. Below is a breakdown of points awarded to and by Spain in the second semi-final and in the final. Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting in the final vote, while the semi-final vote was based entirely on the vote of the public. The Spanish jury consisted of Irene Garrido Pascual, Juan Manuel Pinzás Sueiro, Rosa María Comín, St. Pedro, and Gema del Valle de la Cruz. In the final, Spain placed 22nd with 30 points. Over the course of the contest, Spain awarded its 12 points to Israel in the second semi-final, and to Switzerland (jury) and Israel (televote) in the final.

The spokesperson for the Spanish jury at the final was Soraya Arnelas, who represented Spain in the 2009 contest.

3.1.3.Detailed voting results. Each nation’s jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent. Each jury, and individual jury member, is required to meet a strict set of criteria regarding professional background, as well as diversity in gender and age. No member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member as well as the nation’s televoting results were released shortly after the grand final.

The following members comprised the Spanish jury:

  • Irene Garrido Pascual
  • Pedro Hernández Herrera (St. Pedro)

The United Kingdom participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden. The national broadcaster, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), internally selected Olly Alexander as the country’s entrant for the 2024 contest with the song “Dizzy”.

As a member of the “Big Five”, the United Kingdom automatically qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Performing in position 13, the United Kingdom placed eighteenth out of the 25 performing countries with 46 points.

1.Background. Prior to the 2024 contest, the United Kingdom has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest sixty-five times since its first entry in 1957. Thus far, the United Kingdom has won the contest five times: in 1967 with the song “Puppet on a String” performed by Sandie Shaw, in 1969 with the song “Boom Bang-a-Bang” performed by Lulu, in 1976 with “Save Your Kisses for Me” performed by Brotherhood of Man, in 1981 with the song “Making Your Mind Up” performed by Bucks Fizz and in 1997 with the song “Love Shine a Light” performed by Katrina and the Waves. After their latest victory, the United Kingdom failed to be consistently successful, only reaching the top ten four times: in 1998, 2002, 2009, and 2022; and ending last five times: in 2003 (the first time in the country’s history in the contest), 2008, 2010, 2019, and 2021. In 2023, the country was represented by Mae Muller with “I Wrote a Song”, finishing 25th.

The United Kingdom is the country that has hosted the contest the most times, nine (in 1960, 1963, 1968, 1972, 1974, 1977, 1982, 1998, 2023).

The British national broadcaster, the BBC, broadcasts the event within the United Kingdom and organises the selection process for the nation’s entry. The BBC has used a plethora of methods to select the UK entry: From 1957 to 2010, they organised a national final which featured a competition among several artists and songs to choose the British entry for the contest. Then between 2011 and 2015, the BBC opted to internally select the British entry. For their 2016 entry, the broadcaster announced that a national final would be organised again. The same process was used in 2017 and 2018, and changes were brought in for 2019. From 2020, the BBC opted to return to an internal selection.

2.Before Eurovision. 

2.1.Internal selection. On 1 August 2023, TaP Music, the label with which the BBC had collaborated to internally select the British act in 2022 and 2023, announced they had terminated their partnership with the broadcaster. The following 24 August, the head of entertainment at BBC, Kalpna Patel-Knight,[8] commented on the news, indicating that the broadcaster’s intention was to look for another specialist team for 2024.

On 17 October 2023, the BBC revealed that executive producer Lee Smithurst and Will Wilkin, commissioning executive at BBC Music, had led the search for both the 2024 act and song during the summer. By October, Olly Alexander was selected, which the artist himself announced during the final of the 21st series of Strictly Come Dancing on 16 December. His song for the contest, titled “Dizzy” and co-written with Danny L Harle, was released on 1 March 2024. Later that evening, Alexander appeared on a special broadcast on BBC One, titled Graham Meets Olly, where he was interviewed by Graham Norton, followed by the first full televised broadcast of the song’s music video. 

Preparation and promotion. On 16 February 2024, Alexander travelled to Tbilisi, where he met with Georgian representative Nutsa Buzaladze before filming the music video for “Dizzy” in the country.

Following the release of “Dizzy”, Alexander made appearances on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 2, where the song received its radio premiere on The Radio 2 Breakfast Show with Zoe Ball. Alexander performed “Dizzy” live on Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway on 9 March 2024, as part of the End of the Show Show segment. The day prior to this performance, 8 March 2024, Alexander performed “Dizzy” for Vevo’s Live from Vevo Studio series. In late April 2024, he travelled to New York, where he was a guest on The Kelly Clarkson Show. On 1 May 2024, the singer made a cameo appearance on an episode of the soap opera EastEnders, where he was seen rehearsing his Eurovision performance.

As part of the promotion of his participation in the contest, Alexander attended the London Eurovision Party on 7 April 2024 as the headline act, as well as the PrePartyES in Madrid on 30 March 2024, the Eurovision in Concert event in Amsterdam on 13 April 2024, and the Nordic Eurovision Party in Stockholm on 14 April 2024.

Controversy. After his reveal as the British entrant for the contest, it emerged that, in October, Alexander had signed a letter by LGBT association Voices4London which accused Israel – one of the participating countries – of committing apartheid against Palestinians and “Zionist propaganda” of pinkwashing the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. The Israeli embassy in London, as well as spokespeople of the Israeli government in the UK, criticised Alexander’s views as “biased” and the BBC for “sending an entrant to Eurovision who espouses […] partial views of Israel and promotes […] dehumanising language of Israelis”. The BBC commented that it was not in a position to cut ties with someone who is not a journalist over their personal use of social media, thereby confirming Alexander as the 2024 UK representative. The incident occurred in the backdrop of the Israel–Hamas war, which led to calls for Israel to be excluded from the contest.

On 29 March 2024, Alexander released a joint statement with other Eurovision 2024 entrants – namely Bambie Thug (Ireland), Gåte (Norway), Iolanda (Portugal), Megara (San Marino), Mustii (Belgium), Nemo (Switzerland), Saba (Denmark), Silvester Belt (Lithuania) and Windows95man (Finland) – calling for “an immediate and lasting ceasefire” in Gaza as well as the return of the Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Alexander received criticism over his refusal to boycott the contest despite Israel’s participation, and a dedicated petition was signed by over 450 queer artists, with a protest calling for his withdrawal subsequently taking place outside Outernet London on the day of the London Eurovision Party. In an interview with The Times on 2 May 2024, the singer claimed to have experienced severe stress on the occasion, “trying not to have a breakdown” and feeling “ashamed of [himself] and embarrassed”, while reiterating that he would participate as his withdrawal would not “make a difference” with regard to the humanitarian and hostage crises.

3.At Eurovision. The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 took place at Malmö Arena in Malmö, Sweden. It consisted of two semi-finals held on 7 and 9 May, respectively, and the final on 11 May 2024. All nations with the exceptions of the host country and the “Big Five” (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) were required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete in the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progressed to the final. As a member of the “Big Five”, the United Kingdom automatically qualifies to compete in the final on 11 May 2024, but is also required to broadcast and vote in one of the two semi-finals. This was decided via a draw held during the semi-final allocation draw on 30 January 2024, when it was announced that the United Kingdom would be voting in the first semi-final. For the first time for a contest held outside of the United Kingdom, the BBC made the draw available on its online platform BBC iPlayer. Despite being an automatic qualifier for the final, the British entry was also performed during the semi-final. On 4 May 2024, a draw was held to determine which half of the final each “Big Five” country would perform in; the United Kingdom drew to perform in the first half of the show.

In the United Kingdom, all three shows of the contest were broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, with semi-final commentary by Scott Mills and Rylan Clark and final commentary by Graham Norton, as well as on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds, with semi-final commentary by Richie Anderson and final commentary by Mills and Clark, and on BBC Red Button with British Sign Language interpreters. In addition, as part of the Eurovision programming, the BBC cooperated with DR and SVT alongside other EBU member broadcasters – namely ARD/WDR, ČT, ERR, France Télévisions, NRK, NTR, RÚV, VRT and Yle – to produce and air a documentary titled ABBA – Against the Odds, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Sweden’s first victory at the contest with “Waterloo” by ABBA. The BBC also rebroadcast the 1974 contest in full as part of the anniversary celebrations; the contest aired on BBC Four on 7 April 2024 and was preceded by an introduction from 2023 co-host Hannah Waddingham. A BBC-produced documentary following Alexander’s Eurovision journey premiered during the week of the contest.

Performance. Olly Alexander took part in technical rehearsals on 2 and 4 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 10 and 11 May. The theme of his performance of “Dizzy” at the contest is set around a “post-apocalyptic dystopian boxing gym locker room, aboard a spaceship hurtling toward Earth through a black hole in 1985”, with four male backing dancers and the singer himself dressed in red boxing gear.

Final. On 4 May 2024, a draw was held to determine which half of the final each “Big Five” country would perform in; the United Kingdom drew to perform in the first half of the show. The United Kingdom performed in position 13, following the entry from Greece and before the entry from Norway. Olly Alexander once again took part in dress rehearsals on 10 and 11 May before the final, including the jury final where the professional juries cast their final votes before the live show on 11 May. He performed a repeat of his semi-final performance during the final on 11 May. The United Kingdom placed eighteenth in the final, scoring 46 points, all of which came from the juries.

3.2.Voting. Below is a breakdown of points awarded to and by the United Kingdom in the first semi-final and in the final. Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting in the final vote, while the semi-final vote was based entirely on the vote of the public. The UK jury consisted of Maia Beth, Adam Murray, Louise Redknapp, Rika, and Kojo Samuel. In the final, the United Kingdom placed 18th with 46 points. Over the course of the contest, the UK awarded its 12 points to Lithuania in the first semi-final, and to Portugal (jury) and Israel (televote) in the final.

The spokesperson for the UK jury at the final was Joanna Lumley.

3.2.3.Detailed voting results. Each nation’s jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent. Each jury, and individual jury member, is required to meet a strict set of criteria regarding professional background, as well as diversity in gender and age. No member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. The individual rankings of each jury member as well as the nation’s televoting results were released shortly after the grand final.

The following members comprised the UK jury:

  • Maia Beth
  • Chandrika Darbari (Rika)
  • Adam Murray
  • Louise Redknapp
  • Kojo Samuel

Italy participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden. Angelina Mango, the winning performer of the Sanremo Music Festival 2024, organised by Italian broadcaster RAI, earned the right to represent the nation at the contest with her winning entry “La noia“.

As a member of the “Big Five”, Italy automatically qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest.

Background. Prior to the 2024 contest, Italy has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest forty-seven times since its first entry at the inaugural contest in 1956. Since then, Italy has won the contest on three occasions: in 1964 with the song “Non ho l’età” performed by Gigliola Cinquetti, in 1990 with “Insieme: 1992” by Toto Cutugno, and in 2021 with “Zitti e buoni” by Måneskin. Italy has withdrawn from the Eurovision Song Contest a number of times, with their most recent absence spanning from 1998 until 2010. Italy made its return in 2011, and their entry “Madness of Love”, performed by Raphael Gualazzi, placed second—their highest result, to that point, since their victory in 1990. A number of top 10 placements followed in the next editions, culminating with their victory in 2021. In 2023, Italy placed fourth with “Due vite” performed by Marco Mengoni.

Between 2011 and 2013 and since 2015, the Sanremo Music Festival has regularly been used to select the Italian entrant to the contest, at first through an intermediate stage of internal selection among the contestants, and after 2014 (when a full internal selection took place), the winner of the festival has always earned the right of first refusal to represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest.

Before Eurovision. Italian broadcaster RAI organised the Sanremo Music Festival 2024, the 74th edition of the event, between 6 and 10 February 2024. On 10 July 2023, the broadcaster published the rules of the competition, confirming that its winner would earn the right to represent the country at the Eurovision Song Contest.

30 artists competed in the festival over the course of five consecutive nights; three contestants directly qualified from the selection Sanremo Giovani on 19 December 2023, while the other 27 were selected by the artistic director Amadeus by direct invitation and from submissions received by the deadline of 27 November 2023, and were announced on 3 December 2023. The titles of the competing entries were revealed during Sanremo Giovani. Four former Eurovision Song Contest entrants were among the competing artists: Ricchi e Poveri (1978), Emma (2014), Il Volo (2015), and Mahmood (2019 and 2022), in addition to Diodato, who was set to represent Italy in 2020 before the contest’s cancellation.

Artist selection.

Sanremo Music Festival 2024. The Sanremo Music Festival 2024 (Italian: Festival di Sanremo 2024), officially the 74th Italian Song Festival (74º Festival della canzone italiana), was the 74th edition of the annual Sanremo Music Festival, a television song contest held at the Teatro Ariston of Sanremo, organised and broadcast by RAI. It was held between 6 and 10 February 2024, and presented for the fifth and final time in a row by Amadeus, who also served as the artistic director for the competition.

As had been the case since 2015, the winner of the festival, Angelina Mango with “La noia“, earned the right of first refusal to represent Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.

1.Format. The 2024 edition of the Sanremo Music Festival took place at the Teatro Ariston in Sanremo, Liguria, organised by the Italian public broadcaster RAI. The artistic director and the presenter for the competition was Amadeus, for the fifth and final consecutive year.

1.1.Presenters. On 24 March 2022, one month after the final of the 2022 edition, RAI officially confirmed Amadeus as the presenter of the 73rd and 74th editions of the Sanremo Music Festival, announcing in June 2023 that this will be his last time hosting the event. Each of the nights of the festival will be co-hosted, respectively, by: Marco Mengoni, the winner of the previous edition, who will additionally perform during the show; Giorgia; Teresa Mannino; Lorella Cuccarini; and Rosario Fiorello, who was originally meant to be a guest on that night. The competing entries on each of the second and third nights will also be introduced by the non-competing artists alongside the hosts.

In addition, PrimaFestival, the introductory segment aired before each of the nights and during the opening red carpet, was hosted by Paola & Chiara, Mattia Stanga and Daniele Cabras.

Format changes. On 19 June 2023, Amadeus announced to have proposed changes in the rules of the contest, as well as in the organisation of the traditional five evening shows. The complete rules were published on 10 July.

Changes will affect the number of the entries (reduced from 28 to 26), the arrangement of the five shows (with the first night being organised as the third night of previous editions), the cover performance show (which will be opened to songs from any time and place) and the jury system (as explained below).

1.2.Voting. Voting will again occur through the combination of three methods:

  • Public televoting, carried out via landline, mobile phone, the contest’s official mobile app, and online voting.
  • Jury of the press room, TV and web.
  • Jury of the radio, detached from the second one and replacing the demoscopic jury from previous editions.

Their voting will be articulated as follows:

  • First night: all of the entrants will be judged by the jury of the press room, TV and web.
  • Second night: half of the entrants will be judged through a 50/50 split system by means of televoting and the jury of the radio.
  • Third night: the other half of the entrants will be judged through a 50/50 split system by means of televoting and the jury of the radio.
  • Fourth night: the covers will be judged through a split system by means of the televoting (34%) and the two juries (33% each). The results obtained on each evening that far will then be combined.
  • Fifth night: as in previous years, the entrants will be judged by televoting alone, to be added up to the results obtained that far; ultimately, a final voting round (again a sum of televoting and the two juries) will be held among the top five, which will determine the winner.

For the first time, only the top five entries in each night’s partial ranking will be revealed, and only the complete ranking of the final will be made public.

2.Selections.

2.1.Sanremo Giovani 2023. For the third time in a row, the Newcomers’ section will not be included in the Festival, but a similar selection will be held to decree three places reserved in the Big Artists’ section. The twelve artists competing in the format will be selected through two separate contests: standard section and Area Sanremo.

2.1.1.Standard selection. Online submissions for the standard selection were open between 15 June and 19 October 2023. On 27 October 2023, it was announced that 564 acts had applied, 49 of which were selected at a listening session by a musical committee – composed of Federica Lentini, Massimo Martelli and Leonardo De Amicis and chaired by the artistic director (Amadeus) – to proceed to a live audition in Rome on 10 November. There, total of eight Sanremo Giovani finalists was selected. Their songs were released on 18 November 2023.

Big Artists.

Competing entries. For the third year in a row, the Newcomers’ section of the contest was merged into the traditional Big Artists section, which sees the participation of 30 artists. 27 were selected by the artistic director among established artists, both by direct invitation and from over 400 submissions received by the deadline of 27 November 2023, and were announced on 3 December 2023; the remaining three artists qualified from Sanremo Giovani on 19 December 2023 and competed with a new song. All the titles were announced on that day, with the lyrics published on 30 January 2024. By tradition, the full entries were only premiered during the festival, but a special listening session reserved for the press was held at the RAI studios on 15 January.

7.Broadcast and ratings.

7.1.Local broadcast. Rai 1 and Rai Radio 2 brought the official broadcasts of the festival in Italy, with the latter featuring a special programming throughout the festival week and live commentary of the shows by Ema Stokholma and Gino Castaldo. The five evenings were also streamed online via the broadcaster’s official online platform RaiPlay.

International broadcast. Outside Italy, RAI airs the festival on its international channel Rai Italia and makes the RaiPlay broadcast available in all member countries of the European Broadcasting Union, since the festival, serving as the Italian national final for the Eurovision Song Contest, is broadcast on the Eurovision network; the live broadcast of the 2024 edition, as well as the availability of related videoclips, was expanded worldwide. In addition, the event was aired on a number of local broadcasters across different countries:

With an average share of 74.1% and a total of 14.301 million viewers, the 2024 final achieved the highest viewership values since 1995 and 1998, respectively.

Incidents and controversies. 

False bomb alerts. During a gala organised by RadioMediaset at Villa Nobel on 5 February on the occasion of the opening of the festival week, the local police received an anonymous call alerting about the presence of a bomb, and the venue was evacuated. However, the authorities failed to find any signs of a bomb threat. Most of the competing artists were reportedly present at the event. The following day, a similar alert for the Teatro Ariston also proved to be unjustified and the caller was identified shortly after; he confessed to intentionally giving a false alarm in order to disrupt the competition, and was scheduled for prosecution.

Legal actions. On 7 February, RAI’s CEO Roberto Sergio [it] announced that the broadcaster would take disciplinary measures against one of its journalists following a “denigratory tweet” directed at the physical appearance of contestant BigMama.

Following John Travolta’s guest appearance on 7 February, when his shoes were prominently featured in the televised images, Italian consumers association Codacons filed a complaint against RAI for aggravated fraud and covert advertising, as the actor had an advertising contract with the footwear brand he was wearing; the broadcaster opened an internal investigation. In addition to this, controversy arose surrounding Travolta’s skit on that night, where he was seen performing the “Chicken Dance” next to Amadeus and Fiorello, and which was widely received as “humiliating” and “discomforting” for the actor; Travolta ultimately denied consent over the use of the related video sequence, forcing RAI to remove it as an excerpt from RaiPlay.

Calls for Israel–Hamas war ceasefire. During the festival, contestants Dargen D’Amico and Ghali made statements calling for a ceasefire in the ongoing Israel–Hamas war, with the latter publicly calling to “stop the genocide” after his performance in the final. In a tweet, the Israeli ambassador to Italy, Alon Bar, accused Ghali of “exploiting the festival’s stage to spread hate and provocations”, adding that the musical event could have been instead an occasion to express solidarity with the victims of the Re’im music festival massacre. In turn, Ghali received praise by the president of the Association of Palestinians in Italy, Mohammad Hannoun, during a demonstration in the artist’s home city of Milan. The following day, live on the show Domenica in hosted by Mara Venier, Ghali responded to Bar’s accusation by recalling his long personal history of speaking out on such topics, pointing out that “this thing has been going on for a while” and claiming that “terror politics” prevents people from freely calling for peace. Shortly after, Venier read out a statement by RAI’s CEO Roberto Sergio with an expression of his “heartfelt and staunch” solidarity to “the people of Israel and the Jewish community”. In response, pro-Palestinian demonstrations broke out between 13 and 17 February outside RAI’s production centres of Naples, where a number of protesters were injured in clashes with the police; Turin, where glass bottles, eggs and smoke bombs were thrown; and Milan; as well as outside the broadcaster’s general headquarters in Rome and its regional offices in Bari, Bologna, Bolzano, Cagliari, Cosenza, Florence, Genoa, Palermo, Perugia, Pescara, Trento, Trieste and Venice.[e] Sergio was preemptively put under guard following threats. Amadeus responded to Bar’s comments by stating that “any war in the world must be stopped” and adding that the competing artists sent messages of “peace, freedom of thought, racial equality, values”, in line with the “inclusive” spirit of the festival. Employees at RAI released a joint statement distancing themselves from Sergio’s “use of corporate media to convey [his] personal ideas and political or human affiliations”, judging his message as “one-sided” and “kneeled to Israeli diplomacy”; the statement quoted D’Amico and Ghali’s original calls. Lega Nord senator Alessandro Morelli, serving as governmental undersecretary, suggested the implementation of banning orders for artists who make “political propaganda” on public television, similarly to the ones in place under Italian law for people who disrupt sporting events; following heavy criticism, including by Sanremo entrant Fiorella Mannoia, Morelli stated that his proposal was meant as a “provocation”, while defending his position over the artists’ use of public platforms.

Preparations and promotion. Discussing her participation in Eurovision shortly after her Sanremo victory, Mango commented that she and the songwriting team were considering the possibility to change part of the lyrics to English or Spanish ahead of the contest. On 6 March 2024, RAI released an official statement of participation, confirming that the song had been reworked to comply with Eurovision regulations requiring that entries do not exceed a length of 3 minutes, and shortly after Mango confirmed that the lyrics would remain in Italian.

As part of the promotion of her participation in the contest, Mango attended the PrePartyES in Madrid on 30 March 2024, the Barcelona Eurovision Party on 6 April 2024, the London Eurovision Party on 7 April 2024 and the Eurovision in Concert event in Amsterdam on 13 April 2024. On 20 April 2024, she made an appearance on the Croatian TV show Zvijezde pjevaju, broadcast on HRT 1. In addition, she performed at the Eurovision Village in Malmö on 7 May 2024.

8.At Eurovision. The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 is taking place at the Malmö Arena in Malmö, Sweden, and consists of two semi-finals held on the respective dates of 7 and 9 May and the final on 11 May 2024. All nations with the exceptions of the host country and the “Big Five” (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete in the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. As a member of the “Big Five”, Italy automatically qualifies to compete in the final on 11 May 2024, but is also required to broadcast and vote in one of the two semi-finals. This was decided via a draw held during the semi-final allocation draw on 30 January 2024, when it was announced that Italy would be voting in the second semi-final. The draw, broadcast live on the official Eurovision Song Contest YouTube channel, was also aired by RAI via its streaming platform RaiPlay. Despite being an automatic qualifier for the final, the Italian entry was also performed during the semi-final. On 4 May 2024, a draw was held to determine which half of the final each “Big Five” country would perform in; Italy drew “producer’s choice”, meaning that the country will perform in the half decided by the contest’s producers.

In May 2023, Claudio Fasulo, deputy head of primetime entertainment at RAI (as well as member of the EBU’s Eurovision reference group), discussed the possibility of expanding Eurovision-related programming on Rai 1, including moving the broadcast of the semi-finals from Rai 2 to Rai 1. However, the broadcaster ultimately confirmed that the semi-finals would air on Rai 2 and the final on Rai 1; all three shows are also being broadcast on Rai Radio 2 and are available on RaiPlay. The television broadcasts is accompanied with commentary by Gabriele Corsi and Mara Maionchi, while Diletta Parlangeli and Matteo Osso commentate the radio broadcast. 

Image leaks. Images from Italy’s stand-in rehearsal, which preceded Angelina Mango’s first rehearsal, were leaked online. During its press conference of presentation of the contest, RAI asked not to further share the content, as it was only meant for internal usage among the members of the delegation, and said it had alerted the EBU about potential cybersecurity issues.

Performance. Angelina Mango took part in technical rehearsals on 2 and 4 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 10 and 11 May. Her performance of “La noia” at the contest is choreographed by Mecnun Giasar and will include five supporting dancers as well as a throne elevating from the ground. The graphics of the staging and costumes, which include a corset or bodysuit for Mango, are based on a pattern of intertwined twigs and flowers, meant to evoke a “psychedelic forest”. The performance ends with cascading pyrotechnics in the background.

Final. On 4 May 2024, a draw was held to determine which half of the final each “Big Five” country would perform in; Italy drew “producer’s choice”, meaning that the country would perform in the half decided by the contest’s producers. Italy performed in position 15, following the entry from Norway and before the entry from Serbia.

8.1.Voting. Below is a breakdown of points awarded to and by Italy in the second semi-final and in the final. Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting in the final vote, while the semi-final vote was based entirely on the vote of the public. The Italian jury consisted of BigMama, Elena Di Cioccio, Maurizio Filardo, Barbara Mosconi, and Marcello Sacchetta. In the final, Italy placed 7th with 268 points. Over the course of the contest, Italy awarded its 12 points to Israel in the second semi-final and in the televote at the final, and to Switzerland in the jury vote at the final.

The spokesperson for the Italian jury at the final was Mario Acampa, who hosted the allocation draw and the opening “Turquoise Carpet” of the 2022 contest.

8.1.3.Detailed voting results.

Each nation’s jury consisted of five music industry professionals who are citizens of the country they represent. Each jury, and individual jury member, is required to meet a strict set of criteria regarding professional background, as well as diversity in gender and age. No member of a national jury was permitted to be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently.[46] The individual rankings of each jury member as well as the nation’s televoting results were released shortly after the grand final.

On 9 May, at the end of the broadcast of the second semi-final, Italian broadcaster RAI displayed the televoting percentages for all countries in the semi-final on screen.[47] On 10 May, RAI released a statement confirming that this was a technical glitch, and that the percentages displayed were incomplete and from only a partial result of the televote.[48] RAI subsequently released the accurate televoting percentages for both the second semi-final and the final following the final.[49][50]

The following members comprised the Italian jury:[42]

  • Elena Maria Di Cioccio

France participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden with the song “Mon amour“, written by Slimane, Yaacov Salah and Meïr Salah and performed by Slimane. The French broadcaster France Télévisions internally selected the French entry for the contest.

As a member of the “Big Five”, France automatically qualified to compete in the final of the Eurovision Song Contest.

1.Background. Prior to the 2024 contest, France has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest sixty-five times since its debut as one of seven countries to take part in the inaugural contest. France first won the contest in 1958 with “Dors, mon amour” performed by André Claveau. In the 1960s, they won three times, with “Tom Pillibi” performed by Jacqueline Boyer in 1960, “Un premier amour” performed by Isabelle Aubret in 1962, and “Un jour, un enfant” performed by Frida Boccara, who won in 1969 in a four-way tie with the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom. France’s fifth – and so far latest – victory came in 1977 when Marie Myriam won with the song “L’oiseau et l’enfant“. France has also finished second five times, with Paule Desjardins in 1957, Catherine Ferry in 1976, Joëlle Ursull in 1990, Amina in 1991 (who lost out to Sweden’s Carola in a tie-break), and Barbara Pravi in 2021. In the 21st century, France has had less success, only making the top ten five times, with Natasha St-Pier finishing fourth in 2001, Sandrine François finishing fifth in 2002, Patricia Kaas finishing eighth in 2009, Amir finishing sixth in 2016, and Pravi finishing second in 2021 with 499 points. In 2023, the nation finished in 16th place with the song “Évidemment” performed by La Zarra.

The French national broadcaster, France Télévisions, broadcasts the event within the country and delegates the selection of the nation’s entry to the television channel France 2. The French broadcaster has used both national finals and internal selections to choose the country’s entry in the past. In 2021 and 2022, the French entries were selected via the national final Eurovision France, c’est vous qui décidez !, a format which was also planned to be held in 2023 but was ultimately cancelled in favour of an internal selection. In June 2023, France Télévisions confirmed their intention to participate in the 2024 contest.

2.Before Eurovision. 

2.1.Internal selection. On 8 November 2023, France Télévisions announced that it had internally selected Slimane with the song “Mon amour” as the French entrant for the 2024 contest. The song, composed by Slimane with Yaacov and Meïr Salah, was presented to the public on the same day, during the evening news bulletin Journal de 20 heures hosted by Anne-Sophie Lapix on France 2. 

Promotion. As part of the promotion of his participation in the contest, Slimane attended the PrePartyES in Madrid on 30 March 2024, the Barcelona Eurovision Party on 6 April 2024, the London Eurovision Party on 7 April 2024, the Eurovision in Concert event in Amsterdam on 13 April 2024, and the Nordic Eurovision Party in Stockholm on 14 April 14 2024. On 22 February 2024, he performed during the first semi-final of the Croatian national final; on 22 March 2024, he was a guest on the Italian TV show La volta buona, broadcast on Rai 1; on 9 April 2024, he performed during the fourth live show of the Francophone Belgian edition of The Voice, broadcast on La Une.

3.At Eurovision. The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 took place at the Malmö Arena in Malmö, Sweden, and consisted of two semi-finals held on the respective dates of 7 and 9 May and the final on 11 May 2024. All nations with the exceptions of the host country and the “Big Five” (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) were required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete in the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. As a member of the “Big Five”, France automatically qualified to compete in the final on 11 May 2024, but was also required to broadcast and vote in one of the two semi-finals. This was decided via a draw held during the semi-final allocation draw on 30 January 2024, when it was announced that France would be voting in the second semi-final. Despite being an automatic qualifier for the final, the French entry was also performed during the semi-final. On 4 May 2024, a draw was held to determine which half of the final each “Big Five” country would perform in; France drew to perform in the second half of the show.

In France, the semi-finals were broadcast on Culturebox, with commentary by Nicky Doll, while the final aired on France 2, with commentary by Stéphane Bern and Laurence Boccolini; live streaming of the shows was also available on the broadcaster’s online platform france.tv. In addition, as part of the Eurovision programming, France Télévisions cooperated with DR and SVT alongside other EBU member broadcasters – namely ARD/WDR, the BBC, ČT, ERR, NRK, NTR, RÚV, VRT and Yle – to produce and air a documentary titled ABBA – Against the Odds, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Sweden’s first victory at the contest with “Waterloo” by ABBA.

Performance. Slimane took part in technical rehearsals on 2 and 4 May, followed by dress rehearsals on 10 and 11 May. In his performance of “Mon amour” at the contest, he sings the final chorus a cappella.

Final. On 4 May 2024, a draw was held to determine which half of the final each “Big Five” country would perform in; France drew to perform in the second half of the show. France will perform in position 25, following the entry from Georgia and before the entry from Austria.

3.1.Voting. Below is a breakdown of points awarded to and by France in the second semi-final and in the final. Voting during the three shows involved each country awarding sets of points from 1-8, 10 and 12: one from their professional jury and the other from televoting in the final vote, while the semi-final vote was based entirely on the vote of the public. The French jury consisted of Valérie Dissaux, Élise Mollet, Fanny Llado, Pierre Suppa, and Sébastien Surel D’Assigny. In the final, France placed 4th with 445 points, receiving twelve points from Armenia in the televote, and from Armenia, Belgium, Iceland and Slovenia in the jury vote. Over the course of the contest, France awarded its 12 points to Israel in the second semi-final and in the televote at the final, and to Portugal in the jury vote at the final.

The spokesperson for the French jury at the final was Natasha St-Pier, who represented France in the 2001 contest.
