So, You’re the Commentator for your Eurovision Grand Final Party?
Have we got a treat for you! Facts about all 25 countries in one convenient post.
Now, I did say I would have different facts from my semi final posts, but on top of legit falling asleep as I type this, I know some people still only watch the Grand Final and may have missed the previous facts. SO, anything in bold at the end of each country are the new facts!
1. Czech Republic- We Are Domi-Lights Off- Formed in 2016, they met at the Leeds College of Music in the UK. Dominika Hasova, the singer, is Czech-American(born in NY) while the other two, Casper Hatlestad and Benjamin Rekstad, are Norwegian. The latter two are music teachers. The song is about a breakup, and is their 6th single. They were also featured on a song by Lake Malawi, who represented the Czech Republic in 2019.
2. Romania- WRS- Llamame 29 years old, started as a back-up dancer and part of the Pro TV Ballet before making his solo debut in 2020. He was nominated for 2 awards. He was part of a boyband in 2015. He learned spanish growing up through Telenovelas, which inspired the Spanish in his song. He considers his body his instrument, as a dancer.
3. Portugal- Maro- Saudade, Saudade- 27 years old, she intended on becoming a vet before deciding to pursue music. She also went to the Berklee College of Music. She currently resides in LA, and made her recording debut in 2018. Saudade is a uniquely portuguese word, meaning something along the lines of a wistful nostalgia. Wanting to see someone who you can no longer see, do things you can no longer do, etc etc
4. Finland- The Rasmus- Jezebel The band formed in 1994 and has achieved global fame with their song In The Shadows, a career spanning 9 albums. This is the first song with guitarist Emppu Suhonen after founding member Pauli Rantasalmi left. Desmond Child, known for writing many Bon Jovi songs(among others) and most recently Kings and Queens by Ava Max, co-wrote the song. The song was written before Emppu joined the band, and has hit both the Finland and Czech Republic music charts at 4th and 8th position, respectively
5. Switzerland- Marius Bear- Boys Do Cry- 29 years old, was a construction mechanic until being drafted into the army. A colleague told him he should pursue music, and he became a professional busker when he returned from the army. Recording debut in 2014. Won a Swiss music award for ‘Best Talent.
6. France- Alvan and Ahez- Fulenn- Thanks to this song being in the Celtic language of Breton, this is the first year in Eurovision history where not a single song is in French. However, it isn’t the first time France has sang in Breton (first time in 1996). Alvan and Ahez met by chance at a bar, which led to this collaboration.
7. Norway- Subwoolfer- Give that Wolf a Banana- Keith, Jim and DJ Astronaut. Two wolves from the moon who are known as ‘the best artists in the galaxy’. The song has more than 7 million hits on Spotify. While no one knows who Keith and Jim are, there is photo evidence that suggests that TIX of last year is DJ Astronaut.
8. Armenia- Rosa Lynn- Snap- 21 years old, a recording artist as of 2021 but made her TV debut in 2013 for Junior Eurovision’s National final. She has been playing Piano since the age of 6.
9. Italy- Mahmood and Blanco- Brividi- Translating to ‘Shivers’, this song sang by the Italian representative of 2019(Mahmood, with Soldi) and a rather successful new artist(Blanco). They are 29 and 19 years old, respectively. Blanco alone has won 3 awards in 2021 with nearly all of his discography being multi-platinum hits.
10. Spain- Chanel- Slo Mo - 30 years old, she is an actress in both musical theater and television since 2011. This song is her official recording debut. She is the first of the night to not have any involvement in the song-writing process.
11. Netherlands- S10- De Diepte- 21 years old, she began her career in 2016. Her debut album won an Edison Award(Dutch equivalent to a Grammy). It is the first song in the Dutch language since 2010. In Dutch, her name would be pronounced ‘Esteen’
12. Ukraine- Kalush Orchestra- Stefania Named after the founding member’s hometown, Kalush Orchestra a rap group that adds folk elements to their music. They were the runner-up of the national final, chosen after the winner withdrew.
13. Germany- Malik Harris- Rockstars 24 years old, he made his recording debut in 2018. He has been doing covers of songs on his guitar since age 13.
14. Lithuania- Monika Lui- Sentimentai- 34 years old, won a competition at age 16. She studied Jazz and also attended Berklee College of Music. She’s been a recording artist since 2013.

19. Moldova- Zdob si Zdub- "Trenulețul" These Eurovision legends barely need an introduction as they repped Moldova in 2005 and 2011, landing 6th place and 12th place respectively. Formed in 1994.
20. Sweden- Cornelia Jakobs- Hold Me Closer- 30 years old, daughter of The Poodles’ lead singer. Entered Melfest 2021 as a songwriter. Made recording debut in 2018, but her tv debut in 2008 on Swedish Idol.
21. Australia- Sheldon Riley- Not the Same- 23 years old, competed in X-Factor Australia, The Voice Australia twice, and America’s Got Talent before winning Australia’s National Final. He made his recording debut in 2018. Eurovision has been his dream ever since seeing Conchita win in 2014. His dress on stage consists of 90 thousand pearls and crystals, and weighs 40 kilos(88lbs).

Tìle (Øyonn Groven Myhren / Sidiki Camara / Olav Torget) - Norway / Mali folk fusion
TÌLE is a new group of tree very accomplished musicians in the traditional and world music scene. Their eponymous debut album is a truly collaborative one. Tìle means ‘sun’ or ‘day' in Malian and 'solid floorboards' or 'dancing floor' in Norwegian. Tìle (or Thule) is also an ancient name for a land far north, were the sun in summer never sets.
The lyrics, taken from Mali and Norwegian folk riddles, are accompanied by a variety of instruments such as the Norwegian Kravik-lyre, the Malian hunter's instrument n’goni, percussion, konting, and an electric baritone guitar with electronics. The music features very different approaches to arrangement and sound, but never at the expense of the TÌLE sound. Each member contributed with three different musical ideas that provided foundations for improvisation and exploration. These turned into nine songs that were recorded ‘live’ during three days in Groven's organhouse in Oslo. The result is a warm, rich and mature expression, and as the members of the band says: “The music was created sitting in the same room, listening and responding to each other. This is what we want to pass on to the listeners."
Percussionist and singer Sidiki Camara has played in a large diversity of projects, from the National ballet of Mali to projects with Bill Frisell. He’s one of the great musicians from Mali and has contributed to many legendary recordings from the region. Øyonn Groven Myhren is one of Norway's most revered traditional folksingers, a winner of several national competitions and has collaborated with jazz and contemporary musicians such as Bugge Wesseltoft and Sisu. Olav Torget has a long and steady output in the world music scene, collaborating with both African and northern native musicians both as a guitarist and producer. He has worked with Solo Cissokho, Kristin Abjørnsen and Áššu (UllaPirtijarvi).
Sidiki Camara - traditional Malian folkmusician - voice, n’goni, percussion.
Øyonn Groven Myhren - traditional Norwegian folksinger - voice and lyre.
Olav Torget - global musician from Norway - electric baritone guitar and konting.

nrvosatmblr: Fateyev told in an interview 3 weeks ago, Parish has not left, just in vacation. And Nagahisha will hopefully be back in autumn (not specifying what happened). Could be of course that it was just to show things in a better light for 🇷🇺 audience.
I mean, I suppose anything is possible, but Xander has officially joined the Norwegian National Ballet and he’s completely removed from the Mariinsky’s website, so it looks like it’ll be awhile lol. In terms of Nagahisa, I can’t say anything about her, but I would be shocked if she returned in the fall seeing as she’s also been completely removed from the Mariinsky’s website.
