The second announced artist for Eurovision song contest 2023 in Liverpool was Andrew Lambrou for Cyprus. His participation was made public on October 17. His song will be released later. Andrew (24) is no stranger to Eurovision bubble as he was a finalist in the Australian national final in 2022. Having Greek-Cypriot roots the Cypriot television did the usual thing and hired him for the job. Andrew won his first school singing competition at the age of 5, and then as teenager gained attention with his social media videos. Next step was X Factor but he didn't make it to the live shows. Fast forward to this spring and Eurovision - Asutralia decides where he placed 7th with Electrify.  So far he has released four singles. 

Israel was the very first one to announce their artist for Eurovision 2023 after some leaked information, denial, confirmation, non-confirmation by the artist and eventual official announcement back in August. Her song for Eurovision will be released later.  The chosen one is Noa Kirel (21). She's singer, actress, television host, child reality tv star and a lot more. She started her singing career at 14 and has released two dozens singles since, as solo or collaborations, including nine Israeli top-10 hits, including four number ones. She's been chosen The best Israeli act at MTV Music awards in 2017, 2018, 20220, 2021 and was nominated in 2016, as well as 2022. So in short: A big local name. 

Samira Efendi (28) was fifth time lucky and finally got the ticket to Eurovision song contest for her Azerbaijan. Seems to be a trend this year those trying over and over finally do it this time. She beat the other four shortlisted names in the internal selection process voted by a jury of  international music experts (producers, authors, composers, journalists etc). She has already gained experience in the internationbal festivals in Kazakhstan and and local talent shows including The Voice of Azerbaijan. Her short recording artist career includes three singles released last year. Her song will be released shortly and one can only hope it would be something like her singles like  Yol Ayrici ,  Sən Gələndə or  Yarımın Yarı rather than some unoriginal radio friendly Swedish pop. The other ones in the competition were the already familiar Laman "Leman" Dadasheva and Elvin Novruzov, with Jabrail Rasulov and Riad Abdulov.

  Once again the rumors were true: Austria has confirmed today Vincent Bueno as their represent in the Eurovision song contest 2020 in Rotterdam with Alive , the song that will be only revealed in March 2020. Vincent is no stranger to Eurovision having already tried the national final back in 2016 and has been lately collaborating with Nathan Trent here and there, even in Eurovision events . His breakthrough came with Musikal, Die Show! win in 2008 that lead him to various musicals. He has also a career going in Philippines it seems. He sings in English, German and in Tagalong .  Vincent (34) is of Philippine origin, married with two daughters . The number could be three but his second one sadly only lived 97 minutes. 

Cyprus has internally chosen 23-year-old Sandro Nicolas (or Alessandro Rütten). His father is American, mother Greek and he grew up in Germany. Link to Cyprus? None, except the Greek language he's fluent with. He has previously done Supertalent in Germany without success, the Voice of Germany reaching semi-finals, and represented USA in the New Wave festival in Sochi (the festival that used to be always in Jurmala, Latvia) finishing 6th. Sandro follows the international non Cypriot trend the island is having in Eurovision lately as he follows Georgian-Greek Tamta, Albanian-Greek Eleni Foureira and Armenian-Cypriot Hovig. Eurovision veteran Linnea Deb of melodifestivalen and Finland's Monsters fame has been spotted in studio with him and several posible song titles have been circulating in the fan media but time will tell if he tries to copycat Eleni Foureira and Luca Hänni with mucho calor, or something else....

Out of the blue comes the announcement that Blas Cantò will sing for Spain in the Eurovision song contest 2020 in Rotterdam. It seems the Spanish television RTVE has finally woken up - after five years placing 21st-26th.... Maybe the internal choice is a step to the right direction? Blas Cantò (27) is a familiar name from AYRUN ,  who tried to get to Euroviison already in 2011, and has also won Tu cara me suena imitation variery show's fifth season. On top of that he tried also Junioe Euroviison in 2004. With AYRUN he released five albums, all selling gold and/or platinum while his debut solo album was released in fall 2018.
