He only named what many people in Slovakia are screaming! The prestigious music competition Eurovision, which was established seventy years ago, must do without our participation in the jubilee year. Neighboring countries sent their representatives there, while the neighboring Czech Republic with singer Daniel Žižek just made it to the final of the show. This did not escape the attention of the well-known presenter Nor Mészároš, who also manages the spontaneous diva Eva Máziková.
The star of the podcast indignantly pondered why the Slovak iron in the fire is missing at the pan-European level. And he directed the question to Mlynská dolina, because in the past Eurovision was broadcast by public television. “Congratulations! The Czech Republic has its candidate in the grand final of Eurovision this year. A great success! It’s a shame that we can’t see this international competition live on our public television this year, like our neighbors. We also have CT broadcasting…” rypol si Mészároš.
The moderator’s thoughts were developed by the singer Daniela Nízlová, who represented us ten years ago together with her sister Veronika at the Twiins duo competition. That’s when they performed the song I’m Still Alive on stage.
Nízlová revealed the backstage of the show. “A member of the EBU, which is STVR, would have to buy a license. In the case of the Czech Republic, which covered everything and paid all the costs associated with the performance, they let us pay for everything. We had to pay for the entire delegation from hotels, plane tickets, food, everything that was a racket. The artists were not willing to bear this, of course, so the whole thing fell through.” shocked Daniela.
Noro Mészároš gasped incomprehensibly at this information and remarked that it is a shame that few people know about it. Slovakia has not participated in Eurovision since 2012. The other time our country was represented by Max Jason Mai, while Marcel Palonder was the most successful. He took 18th place back in 1996. TV radio put the song contest on the back burner with the explanation that it involves high financial costs and that he prefers to invest them in domestic production.
