Seems like it's all on Spotify, with two exceptions I think: can't find Tunisia's song anywhere and also not the right version for Malta, it seems.

Will the host country miss their own deadline for song submission? The suspense is killing me.

Don't worry, I'll get a song out. Still undecided, so many I wanna choose but am unsure if they'll be competitive.

I wouldn't be worry about it at all. I'm worried more as we are looming to not have  first time since Open 2019,  first time since Annual 2015 and first ever non-participation of  and

Think I'm gonna extend the deadline to another day, we've got plenty of time to spare and I shouldn't take too long to vote.

  SLOVENIA 

Magnifico - Hir aj kam hir aj go

 

 

Robert Pešut, better known as Magnifico is one of most established Slovenian singers. He started his solo career more than 30 years ago.

 

Few weeks ago, he celebrated this jubilee with special concert in front of more than 20.000 people on special site in Ljubljana. Maybe does not seem a lot, but here there were not many concerts played with that crowd.

 

He is known for his special type of humour in his music and lyrics. Around 20 years ago he sold album Export Import, from which most known song is "Hir aj kam hir aj go", which was received well in other countries, especially in Italy.

 

Just another fact, Magnifico wrote two Eurovision songs, Sestre - Samo Ljubezen (Only Love) in 2002 and also for Montenegrin performer Rambo Amadeus (Euro Neuro).

 

He tried himself to perform at Eurovision, but with his still very well known "Silvija", ended 5th in EMA 1998 (Slovenia National Final).

Announcement:

 

I'm going to extend the deadline for countries submission to Monday 30th September at 23:58 BST, with the voting now not opening to the public until Wednesday 2nd October at 23:58 BST. I felt this was necessary to do due to the lack of nations + the lack of some of the major players and not due to me failing to come up with an entry (@Vektor) that I will be posting after this announcement. This will be the last deadline that is moved, with the only dates potentially moving being the final dates.

Those hurt, especially not one but two countries that have never missed a single contest likely missing out now  

 

Where did everyone go?

 

Edit: I see Slovenia is in, that's fantastic news! Brazil though...

 

I think I'm going to ask if @brunamoura wants to come up with a song, despite really not having lots of time for it due to training and work. With some luck, she can listen the playlist on Spotify during training or something and get a bit of a sense of which songs she likes. If that's acceptable for people of course, I can perfectly imagine people wouldn't be too happy with that since we literally share a household and it might be seen as a conflict of interest (although anyway I always only tell her my favourite songs after I sent my votes).
