Tonight at 20:00 the national final of Luxembourg will take place, also known as the “Luxembourg Song Contest”. We are excited to know what will happen tonight and who will fly the Luxembourg flag in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö (Sweden).
Our ESCplus International colleague, Aitor, is in Luxembourg in the Rockhal in Esch-sur-Alzette where the Luxembourg Song Contest will take place, he has watched the dress rehearsal of tonight’s show.
An overview of the songs and comments
Below you can find the videos of all songs of the Luxembourg Song Contest in the order the 8 songs of this national contest will be featured in the live broadcast. Next to this, you can read our comments per song.
Joel Marques – Believer
The stage is covered in blue, and clouds are floating all over it. Joel is accompanied by dancers that all do a harmonious and dynamic dance routine, that is both simple and effective. (https://glasshousefarms.org)
Edsun – Finally Alive
The second act that you will see tonight is by Edsun. The act is cheerful, yet hectic. The stage’s dominant colours are red and white. Edsun’s vocals were on-point and he moves around the stage a lot. He might be an act that needs to grow on the audience a little.
Naomi Aye – Paumée sur Terre
Third in line is Naomi Aye with her song “Paumé sur Terre”, and this song is sung flawlessly by this singer that is just 15 years of age (she will be 16 in May, which is the minimum age to participate in the regular contest). The stage is dominated by black and stars. She is the one to watch, because her performance is sure to give people goosebumps.
Angy & Rafa Ela – Drop
The fourth act, by Angy & Rafa Ela, was full of purple and glitter. The vocals of the duo are amazing, and these power women both looked fierce. This act also includes dancers, which give the song an extra boost when it comes down to being dynamic and engaging. This act will surprise audiences.
One Last Time – Devil in the Detail
This performance has fire, lots of energy, and red visuals which visualize the sun. The energy of this band is on high from the moment they start their performance, which also unfortunately means that the act is a lot to take in. It is a bit much and drags on.
Krick – Drowning in the Rain
This is the fan favourite to win the crown. This song is written by Elsie Bay, and it has the same feel as a typical Elsie Bay song with which she has competed in Melodi Grand Prix. The vocals of Krick were a bit shaky during the dress rehearsal, but nonetheless this performance gave us goosebumps.
CHAiLD – Hold On
This is the penultimate act of this national final. During the dress rehearsal this song was one of the weakest. CHAiLD’s vocals were not all that and the stage seemed quite empty.
Tali – Fighter
Last, but not least was Tali with the song “Fighter”. Tali owned the stage this afternoon together with her dancers that were all in black leather. Tali seems to be the one to watch, because her will to move on to the actual Eurovision Song Contest seems to be high. She just might win tonight.
What is the prediction of ESCplus International?
Our prediction for tonight, after our ESCplus International reporter, Aitor, has seen all the eight acts, is the following:
- Tali – Fighter
- Krick – Drowning in the Rain
- Edsun – Finally Love
In conclusion
Tonight’s show will be on fire, as Luxembourg re-enters the biggest music contest of the world after a hiatus of 31 years. Let’s see if the act they are going to choose makes them move out of the Semi-finals and into the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö (Sweden).
