After 30 years they are BACK! Indeed RTL launched a big scale national final that looked like they've only been seeing the Eurovision finals rather than national final all these years: big stage, big arena, so many previous winners present or on video that you lost count. On top of that all it was co-hosted by Désirée Nosbusch, the last Luxemburgish Eurovision hostess in 1984 If that was a plus, a minus was it was all done by the most common Eurovision names Christer Björkman to Alex Panayi and Tali Eshkoli. A total of 459 submissions were received and they were cut down to 70 songs and 50 singers nd eventually the 8 finalists. Some polemic was raised as singers that made the cut were made to sing songs they had qualified with to those written by the usual suspects rather than their self penned ones.
Tali won the first round easily but struggled in the super final winning only thanks to jury.
Tali Golergant (23) is Israeli born of Peruvian father and Israeli mother, and has lived in Chile, Argentina and other countries before settling in Luxemburg for ten years before moving to New York. She's pop, indie and r'n'b singer. songwriter, actress and vocal coach.
She released her first single at 16, and her debut EP Lose you in 2021. She has released a total of seven singles before Fighter.
So, what do I think? I like! She was my favorite in the final and you can hear Dardust's touch in Fighter so how could I not like it? And he's also behind Italy's entry this year along with a lot of hits by Mahmood, Madame and so on. This fact aside Fighter is catchy and a lot more interesting and ambitious than the many other "girl solist with a dance group" this year that all tend to sound a bit dated. Strangely they seem to be doing better in polls and bets, a mystery. Luxemburg needs and deserves to be in the final.
