Eurovision 2023 contestants will have three minutes on Saturday night to convince the public. The 26 finalists of the contest will do their best to seduce the jury and the audience on Saturday evening, in Liverpool, the city in the north of England that is hosting this year’s music competition on behalf of Ukraine, reports AFP.

At the end of a show that promises to be full of rhinestones and after the amazing suspense caused by the famous counting of points, the successor of the Ukrainian group Kalush Orchestra, who triumphed last year with “Stefania”, a song that combines hip-hop rhythms and music, will be appointed traditional.

Due to the Russian invasion, the 67th edition of the Eurovision contest is being held this year in Liverpool, the hometown of the members of The Beatles.

“While the eyes of the world will turn to Liverpool this weekend to watch Eurovision, our hearts will be with the people of Ukraine, who are fighting for their sovereignty and survival,” said British Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer.

The big favorite, Sweden, is represented by the singer Loreen, who already won in 2012 with the song “Euphoria”. If she wins again this year, she will become only the second artist to win twice in the Eurovision contest, after the Irishman Johnny Logan.

France, another country considered favorite, but which has not won the Eurovision contest since 1977 (through Marie Myriam), is represented by La Zarra, an artist from the Canadian province of Quebec, who will perform the electro-disco song “Evidemment”.
