      To submit a song do you need to be very known artist with a label or independent artist can submit their music as well?

    • @ESCHayden
      @ESCHayden  5 місяців тому

      Ultimately it's up to the broadcaster. Sometimes it might be an independent artist, say someone who's competed on The Voice. But broadcasters usually prefer artists with label backing as they can help fund the participation and promote the song.

    Great video - nice and succinct but sufficiently detailed.
    I'm glad you chose Bucks Fizz as the UK winner to include and the others were well selected too - was it difficult to pick a sample?

    • @ESCHayden
      @ESCHayden  6 місяців тому

      Thanks! 💙 And yeah, it was hard to pick the songs. I originally had a shortlist of over 20, which I reduced to a dozen. 20 was too many for 2 reasons, it would have been too long and there would be a greater chance of copyright issues. I could have just used shorter clips like I do usually, but I figured that if people are hearing these songs for the first time, they'll want more than just 7s of a song.

    Amazing video ❤ wish I sent a video too but I always struggle to express my thoughts with words, so I probably wouldn't know what to say even though Eurovision is a huge part of my life and I would be completely different person without it

    4:30 was SR the former name of SVT or was it another Swedish broadcaster that no longer participate in the contest?

    • @ESCHayden
      @ESCHayden  6 місяців тому +2

      I wondered that but apparently SVT is Sveriges Television and SR is Sveriges Radio.
