  • Last week the Heads of Delegation meeting took place in Kyiv. At this meeting, all the songs for the contest are being submitted, and the Delegation heads get briefed on several aspects of the show.
    Every country has a head of delegation. Who are they, and what do they do?
    Thanks to Helen Riddell, Edoardo Grassi and Nicola Caligiore for taking the time to speak to Eurovision.tv.

    I'd love to get involved in Eurovision like this! Definitely 'career goals' for me :P Some may call me sad, but I don't care. I'd love to get my hands on turning the UK back into the Eurovision powerhouse it used to be!

      Don't worry, you're not the only one :D
      Fans from Denmark, have said great things about me, when it comes to planning and organizing, even some people from DR as well, so you just gotta show what you got, then someday... you'll be there :)

      You'd have to reimpose the national language rule. That's the only reason the UK (and Ireland) were Eurovision powerhouses in past decades.

    Nicola, grazie per aver riportato l'Italia all'Eurovision. Penso che dal 14 maggio , salvo "fregature" dalle giurie, ci sia molto da lavorare e in Rai tu, Nicola, sei il massimo esperto di Eurovision, per cui ci affidiamo a te. Contiamo su di te!!!!!! P.S.: ma Edoardo Grassi e'italiano? Da come pronuncia il suo nome, si capisce subito che lo e'.

    To all devil's advocates:
    Why Russia refused to visit the delegations meeting? They didn't picked the singer then, so why they didn't came? Russia was the only country that did it.
    I guess, because they didn't planned to participate. This year Russia is here only for provocation. And you got hooked because of the poor disabled person. Good luck with that.

    I hope Russia goes away and come back when Putin is not in power, used to love Russia in Eurovision until 2012. The grannies were my favourite by the way. Things have changed in Russia since, why did they stop having national finals and with the exception of last year just been sending peace songs? Ironic considering how aggressive Russian foreign policies have been since then. I have nothing against Russian people and I always admired the rich history of the country, and it is obvious people have lost their freedom to express in the country in the last 7/8 years. Putin cronies control almost every aspect of Russian cultural identity and media outlets. I hope things will get better for the common folk in Russia.

    • @chriszavos
      @chriszavos 7 лет назад +1

      Before jumping into our own conclusions, they should make a video asking all these questions to the Russian Head of Delegation. We need to hear their side of the story, until now we only heard the Ukrainian "law".

    • @d1sarmon1a
      @d1sarmon1a 7 лет назад +7

      @HinataPlusle 7 лет назад +1

      Regardless of how much her song may inspire people (personally, I found it just "meh", but again that's just personal), you can't expect the Ukrainian authorities to violate their own laws to let an artist for a contest in. Let's see if they'll find a way around it (even if I do think they mostly just sent her to cause controversy).

      actually it's no one's fault except for russia's council choosing a singer who is not allowed to enter the country, using a disabled person to cause controversy.

      Why Russia refused to visit a delegations meeting? They didn't picked the singer then, so why they didn't came?
      I guess, because they didn't planned to participate. This year Russia is here only for provocation.

      Yeah fair play to Russia. Russia threw the bait, Ukraine took it. And everyone sees that you refuse a woman in a wheelchair. Russia played it well.
